I wanna be a Mariner, but I’m totally a Tendi.

That makes sense. You’re definitely not alone in feeling like it’s getting bad. Like, it’s insane to me that conservative boomers are getting old and having health complications and still don’t want universal healthcare. They’ll vote against their best interests every time.
I hope you find support and understanding within your community, even if it’s not within your immediate family.
Health and housing are pretty important for survival, so it’s kinda understandable that you’re stressed out. Care to go into specifics? Why do you feel like you can’t express yourself?
My mom is a lot like Lwaxana, and I relate to Troi entirely too much.
I know this is a few days old, but thinking about it again, I’m reminded of this clip I saw from Orange is the New Black. To summarize, the clip is a flashback to explain how Suzanne (“Crazy Eyes”) wound up in prison. She’s an autistic woman whose sister/caretaker leaves her alone for a weekend, without arranging alternative care, to go on a vacation. She befriends a child, who she seems to connect with easily as they are on a similar mental level, and the kid follows her home to hang out and play video games. After the child says it’s time for him to go home, she becomes upset, blocking the front door to prevent him leaving. He attempts to call 911 and she grabs the phone and hangs up, confused, telling him that he should only call 911 for emergencies. Panicked, the child attempts to crawl out a window to escape, accidentally falling to his death.
What would you say is more important here, intention or perception? I think it depends on who you are. For the child’s parents, perception matters more. Their child is dead. That Suzanne didn’t intend for it to happen is of little consolation. For Suzanne, maybe intention matters the most. For the courts, both matter; she’s proven herself unsafe to be around to the public, yet the fact she didn’t intend to cause harm is supposed to be taken into account too, perhaps for lighter sentencing. In a better world, she would be given help instead of incarcerated because of her intention, and perhaps her caretaker would be held partially responsible.
They are both equally important. However, we tend to judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behavior. Considering this, I think it’s important to continually try and understand the intentions of others, and consider how our actions might be interpreted by others.
Yeah, as if he’s the first engineer ever to lack common sense and be slow with social cues.
I just watched a video where a woman from Tennessee explained that every resident was required to get a new license plate that year, and that they had the choice between 2 standard options, the only difference being that one said “In God We Trust” and one didn’t. Oh, and the ones that had “In God We Trust” had the numbers come first. So for example, every “Christian” license plate reads 123 ABC, and every “atheist” plate reads ABC 123.
What the fuck?
I trust the admins. I was attracted to beehaw specifically because of the tight moderation. If they think they can keep to the same high standards and refederate, great. If not, oh well. I’d rather miss out on some content than expose myself to rude assholes, bigots, fascists etc
Never heard it called a “bum-gun” before. Thank you for the mental image of someone pointing a supersoaker at their asshole. 😂
Sriracha mayo is really good to use, if you like Sriracha.
Use the garlic butter dipping cups from Papa John’s, I bet it would slap.
Nope, ranch has about the same amount of fat as mayo, so it comes out to a similar texture.
Horny?
@Driftking@lemmy.ml What have you been telling these women?
Try ranch as the fat, gives it an interesting kick.
I don’t drink anymore, but I have some great memories of snuggling up with my cat and some vodka to binge DS9 and play Witcher 3.
Oh, I had no idea. Thank you.
I don’t forgive my mother when she can’t even acknowledge her abuse.
But, I’ve at least started accepting that there are positive qualities in myself that I have her to thank for. My love of reading and learning was encouraged my her, as she’s a voracious reader and a journalist by trade. She supported my love of music by paying for piano lessons when I was young. For a boomer in a red state, she leans quite far left and abhors racism and inequality in general, so I feel like I was raised with the right set of morals.
She’s not an evil devil woman; she does have good qualities. And I can empathize with the struggles she’s been though. But I don’t know if that understanding and acceptance will ever equate to forgiveness.
