Hey!
I’m new to piefed. I was a part of the Reddit migration originally. Since then, I really enjoyed the conversations.
I’m a behavior therapist by day. Otherwise a bit of an introvert/gamer. I’m always up for a conversation. Unless I’m asleep, which is earlier and earlier these days.
I think the best thing you can do is really become independent of your family, from reading other posts. And put some distance between yourself and them. I’m sure if you became successful, they would attempt to financially abuse you if they could. For similar reasons that is why my response to this question is a hard no, never going back.
Good news is you can choose who to surround yourself with in life. It does take a lot of the sting out.
$2000 tax credit per child to encourage a parent to stay at home…am crazy or do they really not know how expensive it is to live?
Nothing, absolutely never going to happen. It has been many, many years and they moved on more easily than me…almost like my going NC did them a favor. My dad passed before Covid, and he was the only one I had a relationship with in adulthood, and I miss him. I have no idea what has become of the rest of my family over the years. I am mostly fine. There’s no use mourning awful people for decades. I do it once or twice a year and that’s more of the mourning an idea of what having a family would be.
When you deny someone an abortion, you’re denying them healthcare.
When a parent denies their underage child, with a brain that is still developing, hard drugs I think that is appropriate parenting. Taking hard drugs probably has limited social or medical benefit, if any.
So when a parent denies their underage child drugs they are essentially protecting them (from themselves) whereas if they deny an abortion they are taking away a future, if you consider the fully formed person autonomous.
Not really comparable if you scratch beyond the surface.
Mine have all been 3. Phone screen, phone interview, and in-person.
I think there are layers to this. Even irl people will say one thing and end up doing something else. Often with good intentions or at least not nefarious ones. I think people online sometimes take a creative license, which is fine.
Fediverse being small, I’ve started to recognize some posters by their background stories. If those are online characters or not, I’ll never know. I wonder if it matters? Now, as it pertains to bots passing as people or gofundme scams I get a little annoyed. I haven’t seen too much of that here, but it was disgusting on Reddit/imgur, and getting worse.
I tend to take online interactions with a grain of salt. I trust my wow guild a bit, but like…I know their dog’s names and stuff.
I retained enough to provide basic information to my ESL kiddos/parents, at least in Spanish. Use it or lose it, I really think.
Well. When do I get to become a reptile? Soon?
Yeah I imagine they’re crunchy as well from all the ones I popped when cleaning out my pantry. 💀
Thought it was going to be beans and rice but it turned into a bag full of weevils and regret.
Gotta be a lot like dating a Disney obsessed person.
8:30-4:30 4 days a week, 9:30-5:30 once in a while. My “home” day varies.
Is this like one of those recession indicators?
I knew I was permanently single when I had to buy my own hoodies.
There are times it would be convenient. Certainly less lonely. I think it would be worth it for the right people. But not everyone wins that lottery.
