      I wouldn’t go that far. He’s being decent to his sister, but there could be ulterior motives here. I’ve learned to never trust a 4chan post.

        Sometimes they’re working multiple jobs, sometimes they were mistreated themselves as kids. We shouldn’t be too quick to judge.

    Isn’t this just parentification?

    source
    • yokonzo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      If it’s healthy for you does it need a label?

      source
      • witty_username@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The story sounds healthy enough. I’m mostly critical of the role of the actual parents. I may be over reaching here, but it sounds like the writer ended up taking up a responsibility that should have been taken by the parents in the first place. However, the situation sounds healthy enough and parentification has positive sides too!

        The big point of parentification is that it is forced on the child by their parents. The role of sub-parent to siblings is assigned via negative means. This is often in punishment for not performing that role. This can manifest as verbal and mental abuse, such as guilt tripping, neglect where the parent doesn’t do what is needed until the parentifide child does it out of necessity, and can go as far as full blown violence.

        This reads more like the OP saw that their sister was in desperate need of help, and decided to take it upon themselves to do whatever they can to help her.

      This is behavioral therapy, which you could say is a responsive mode of “parenting” that is highly effective.

    I’d never really heard the term NEET before and had to do some research. I get what is, but not really why it is.

    Is it a lifestyle thing or a mental health thing?

    source
    • webghost0101@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      NEET is is an economic label that means Not in Employment Education or Training. Its the group often looked down on as leeches in society but the term doesn’t consider the reasons or health of the person.

      The sister in the post appears much more like the Japanese shutins or hikikomori who isolate themselves from all social contact. Technically being a hikikomori is a choice but mental health and big pressure culture probably dont help.

      source
      • crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I most cases the culture and mental health are the reason a lot of them will choose that lifestyle, still not 100% by their own free will.

        TIL NEET means something else. For I thought it was only an enterance test in India to get into medical education. It is super competitive and toppers are usually shut-ins, studying for 14-16 hours a day.

        The exams are held in may so for kids to go in hibernation since January is common place.

        im still trying to figure out why people hate the fact that people leech off of shit.

        Like unless we’re going turbo functionalist society where we define suicide as a normal aspect of everyday life, it seems rather. Dystopian to be claiming that everybody must be a part of society.

        economists are fucking weird dude.

      Is it a lifestyle thing or a mental health thing?

      Bit of both, with a dash of enablers (usually parents).

      source
      • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Probably a bit more than a dash.

        source
    • halvar@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I heard it but I never had an idea what it meant, so I looked it up. NEET means they aren’t in education and don’t have a job employment.

      source
      • crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Most times neet’s are people with mental health issues or depression also.

        source
    • bionicjoey@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Normally it’s used to indicate a lifestyle which probably has an underlying mental health component. But the girl in this story is just really really autistic. IDK why the OP didn’t describe her as such once.

      source
      • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        How do you know she’s autistic? Maybe she’s depressed, experiences severe social anxiety, or something else of that nature. I see no reason to jump to autism as the explanation, there just isn’t enough context.

      Yes. As for why, why not? If you can it’s probably the single best was to live life. Most jobs are entirely unfulfilling, unnecessary bullshit jobs that stack even more unfulfilling, unnecessary bullshit on top of it. the important work is, like, maybe a tenth of all actual work done and that’s still usually done by people who get treated like shit, sucking out whatever meaning they might be able to find.

      Education is good, but left to their own devices most humans will educate themselves to some degree, so it’s not like NEET necessarily means a lack of self improvement either. Not that that’s the only measure of a good life.

      And that’s before taking into account mental health.

      source
    • burgersc12@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Its mental health, no one hides from the world if they don’t have a reason to hide.

      source
    • KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      i think it’s more of a situational thing. I.E. used to shit on people who aren’t “part of the work force” although now it’s been codified into a bit of slang, since it’s technically an acronym now.

        If you’ve ever tried US chocolate it’s straight up god tier by comparison.

        Fair point. Like a lot of their foodstuff, it’s been fucked up into oblivion (and yes, I know you can find decent food, it’s just not the default).

      Or Lindt.

        I guess it’s expensive in the US ? I may have upper middle class brain rot because of my parents, but to me it’s basically the baseline for decent industrial chocolate.

      I am thinking the meant the Icelandic Freyja chocolate instead? Spelling in the greentext doesn’t match either though.

    TIL Lindt is luxury chocolate

    • nednobbins@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Lindt is pretty good as packaged chocolate goes. You can always find some fancy artisanal chocolatier if you can afford to spend a few bucks per chocolate but for a HS student Lindt is pretty high tier.

      It isn’t? Yes there is way more expensive chocolate but Lind isn’t cheap.

      source
    • Allero@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      At least premium.

      source
      • Sylvartas@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Premium, I definitely agree. But luxury is pushing it imo, given the prices and ingredients used. Imo luxury chocolate is either artisanal and/or has extremely high quality standards (e.g having as little stuff that is not pure cocoa and sugar as possible in its ingredients), and thus even more expensive than Lindt.

        source
    • shirro@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Lindt is positioned as a premium supermarket brand in some places where it is usually a little better and more expensive than the default brand eg Cadbury. For many people it would be seen as a bit of a treat over their regular supermarket brand.

    I can’t tell if the coaxing thing was an intended pun after the fiber optic thing before it

    source
    • KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      considering that coax and fiber optic are two different things, probably not, but judging by the fact that the fiber box is outside, it’s probably run inside using coax, and that is a rather astute observation.
