If your kids aren’t better than you at something you fucked up imo. Hope those know it all assholes know you respect them too, this whole world is way too competitive and that kind of recognition from a parent is incredibly affirming
- Comment on Should I tell my dad that his mistake almost cost me a fortune? 2 weeks ago:
It’s about what dad can gain from being told. Covering up a mistake like this is condescending and any confidence that lets him keep is false. Part of being up to the job is a realistic idea of your capabilities and the ability to receive feedback. If dad’s still a peer and a real part of the team, he needs (and gets) to know. Hiding accidents like this to maintain a more comfortable reality is how you handle a patient during end of life care, not someone who’s still living and working in the world we share.
Conversely… at some point our capabilities dwindle, no one gets to participate in our shared reality forever. If your father’s at a point where you need to shelter and protect him there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s quite a heavy responsibility to assume and not necessarily going to be easy or fun for either of you. Very similar commitment to raising a child, but keeps getting harder until they die instead of easier as they grow. It’s heavy stuff and no one here can answer this for you op. The way you frame this makes you seem like an intelligent and caring person, you’ve got this. Good luck out there.

I see lemmy as harm reduction, the methadone to instagram’s fent. Incremental changes are often more sustainable than grand gestures, just getting off the infinite feed of short form video would be a huge step in the right direction and probably a lot easier to adjust to from where you’re at

Bro hurl your phone into the sea stat, you’ve got a lot of grass touching to catch up on. Feeling sucked in sometimes I can relate to, reality being the exception is wild. Theoretical damage on the societal level aside this is a huge red flag that this tech is hurting you and you need to disengage. I’m not going to advocate for specific meditations here or anything, just find something to do that doesn’t involve a screen

I like that this take is right next to the much more reasonable gentle test hump guy, the contrast makes it seem even worse

I believe you that you, personally, in this moment, are acting exactly like the worst red hat pricks. And that just like them you’re acting against your own interests, making your life (and everyone’s you touch) just a little bit worse. Because just like them you’re a useful idiot. Keep your words out of my mouth.

They™ were right, we need to connect with each other not isolate in media. Doesn’t matter if it’s cheap newsprint or an oled, problem is all staring up at what’s presented vs over at each other

You can’t shit because your phone battery died. I can’t shit because my social credit store is too low. We are not the same
Anyways disabling public restroom locks is praxis, every bit as much as grinding the spikes off of anti-homeless benches. I have way more sympathy for the poor bastard trying to clean themselves in there than the mildly inconvenienced pricks with better options

In a vacuum, no. In context of your other posts, you really need to gather some more experience to inform your writing. No forum is a meaningful substitute or alternative. Write what you know, if you feel drawn to something expose yourself to it
