Your first point is just a Lucky Ten Thousand problem… you’re never gonna run out of people discovering things for the first time, or people wanting to share this thing they just learned with others. That’s just people learning.

Replace Big Trouble with anything else, literally any other topic, and somewhere there will be someone moaning about how tired they are of hearing about a detail that is familiar to them, but not to others. Oh god, yes, everyone knows that the infinite tessellation of non-Euclidean space is a hyperbolic honeycomb, so sick of hearing about it.

This is probably beyond what you want to do, but if you have a soldering pencil and some very basic knowledge of electronics it is pretty easy to add external antenna connections to a portable radio. There's lots of info on amateur radio sites about this, but it is usually just a matter of identifying the antenna connections on the circuit board, disconnecting the stock antenna, and soldering in the new one.

Antenna length is a function of wavelength. TL;DR, an ideal antenna is half the wavelength of whatever frequency you're listening to, which works out to about 1.5m for FM, and 100m for AM. Most inexpensive portable radios use 1/4 wavelength for FM (or less), and some clever stuff with wire coils for AM.

Most chip based receivers (even the cheap ones) are pretty reliable these days. If you're not getting good reception, take a look at the antenna.

Saying "I've changed" is a meaningless thing. How did he change? Did he take time to understand why he did what he did? What did he learn about himself? Did he tell you what character flaw led him down that path? What life changes did he make to ensure that he would never be tempted to do that again?

If the only thing he can point to are wholly external things, cutting contact with his affair partner, giving you access to all his electronic, those aren't really him changing anything. He didn't tell you about the cheating. She did. She either felt guilt for doing it or she was retaliating against him for breaking it off. Either way he didn't feel guilty for having done what he did, only for getting caught.

If all he can give you are the words "I've changed", you're insecurity is valid.

Now what? I think your boyfriend and you should consider couples counseling and your boyfriend should discuss why he did what he did.

Seriously, google "vaccine mandate", "collective bargaining", and either Becky Pringle or Randi Weingarten from the NEA and AFT. You'll find a lot of articles about the controversy over vaccine mandates for educators who didn't want to lose local bargaining power or agreed to a mandate in exchange for concessions. Randi fairly consistently said in summer 2021 that they would bargain for a mandate and did not support the idea initially until Delta was raging and the start of school approached.

This was a pretty big controversy in summer 2021. It's normal for a union to not want a mandate imposed on their members without gaining something.
