How pedantic of you. ;)

Waiting so long to cut off a toxic parent. Not spending more time with a good parent. Not going to therapy sooner.

Aw, thanks.

It’s not about loving myself. I think I’m pretty decent. It’s just luck of the draw that everyone around me has their head up their ass. I rationally know I should be loved. I emotionally feel the lack and don’t understand it.

That’s just the way I’ve been treated my entire life. Don’t see any reason for it to change.

Wish I this could be me, but I don’t think it’s in the cards.

The US. In my dad’s time it was percolator brewed (the literal worst way to brew) or with low grade, super roasted. I drink medium roast or lighter and drip brew or pour over. Vast vast difference.

Coffee. My dad was in the navy in the 70s and you could tell by the tar he drank. Never got into it. Early 20s I got hired as a delivery boy for a coffee shop. A perk was that it came with free coffee drinks. Turns out I didn’t hate coffee, I hated the swill my father brewed. Good coffee was quite good.

Ugh. I’m the opposite. I hate mine. It’s a middling mattress that can’t hold its edge shape. Mine is now a slope. Also moving them is somehow worse than moving a spring mattress which is already terrible!

I find this hard to believe.

They’re right.

Vtubers. I get the cute anime girl thing and I like fan art of them as I do other anime. But the models move wayyyyyy to exaggerated. It hits uncanny valley for me.

Also I don’t get the parasocial relationship of chatting in a huge room of other followers. The chat is scrolling by at a hundred miles an hour and you’re competing with everyone else for their attention.

Making anything. All of my hobbies are making. Making pickles or beer or bread or dried snacks or canned jams. Designing and 3d printing my own widgets. Organizing and cleaning. Structure.

I use connect which also does that. IMO, it should be native.

Nah, you’re showing selection bias or something. Kids have always wanted to be rock stars.

Gasp. The things I felt seeing this image.

I’m very interested in this. I’m kinda stunned that lemmy doesn’t do this natively.

!canning@midwest.social would like this.

Looks like something water jet channel would do.

Imagine any time you’ve felt a worry or fear of something, but imagine it’s being said by another person. They will not shut up. You have to listen to them. You know they’re wrong, logically, but they’re very convincing and keep going on. I mean, they’re not wrong. While unlikely, the car next to you COULD suddenly swerve and hit you. It’s not impossible. They’re getting louder. They will not shut up. They get louder again. They will still not shut up. They drown out every sound. You can’t hear anything else but how this terrible bad thing is going to happen.
