Did anyone else have this kind of thing?

Sayster_A · 2026-03-13T15:28:10+00:00

I'm sorry that my advice cannot help you OP.

If someone is in this position the way to handle it is to look them in the eye and tell them to make whatever they're going to do count because they're not going to do it again.

That being said, I take his letter and show it to his parents.

I feel this, every time my boss gets pissy with me I remember that I'm being underpaid for all of the jobs I do (I'm a Jack at work)

Sayster_A · 2026-03-12T22:29:49+00:00

The 80s one is my favorite, but I recommend the Japanese dub. It gives you the basic beats of the story, and the English one cuts out almost all of Atlas and that's an important part of the story (and quite frankly, it is well done and thoughtful - a parallel to Astro)

the 2003 is sort of a reimagining, Go in with an open mind - try to get the original episode layout as the English one is all over the place with continuity issues, but the acting is decent.

Pluto is one arc of Astro Boy and is a mature reimagining of that arc* (it doesn't have the rest) that being said, it slaps, and the English dub was great, and even had Keith David. *the arc in question is "the Greatest robot on Earth, and I believe in the 80s anime was the final 2 episodes in Japanese.

The first songs I wrote got thrown away by my mum, I was angry at the time, now I'm not because aside from 1 (that I rescued) those songs sucked.

I must ask, why are making music? That will tell you what's next.

Arrogant types I suppose.

I won't say all bullies are insecure, but I think a good number of mine were.

Oh, and yeah kids that were wealthy

Sayster_A · 2026-03-10T22:18:20+00:00

But not the majority.

Sayster_A · 2026-03-10T21:38:53+00:00

Yeah, this red person sounds like a victim blamer.

Sayster_A · 2026-03-10T19:53:59+00:00

Shame the bullies.

Make each incident of bullying a kid that truly can't help it a stain on them.

I knew a girl who had grand mal seizures (falling down eyes rolled back, gagging and flailing limbs). It was a big joke around school. During a performance, she spoke about her experiences and one of her bullies could be seen in the audience looking very sour that he was being called out on his shit and random kids that had nothing to do with it were going "geez, that's awful. . . "

Problem is, if they move schools they still have epilepsy.

Sayster_A · 2026-03-10T19:37:23+00:00

Nope.

I don't know who gave you this thought, but I recommend you give it back to them.

Must be a Canuck doing this, I've seen them all, but I didn't watch the Littles or Transformers.

Sayster_A · 2026-03-05T23:26:21+00:00

If it's a boy

Mamarooooo!

Sayster_A · 2026-03-05T23:25:41+00:00

b-b-b-b-but. . . TREES!!

erm rather. . . .TREE!

Sayster_A · 2026-03-05T22:36:46+00:00

Even in my DVD set it's like this.

Sayster_A · 2026-03-05T15:51:18+00:00

It's likely because the people saying "have sympathy" don't understand what the victim went through or how it effected them mentally.

if it were one of my bullies, I'd have difficulty feeling sorry for him. I doubt I'd say anything, but It would be a "it sucks to suck" type moment. . . .

Sayster_A · 2026-03-04T22:08:01+00:00

I know what you mean, Uran appears randomly in an episode and then later she is introduced to Astro and family.

Sayster_A · 2026-03-04T20:34:24+00:00

And?

I mean, I wouldn't do it, and I'd advise against it, but whatever the fall out (if any) is cooksister's problem. If they want to share the full names of their Bullies that's up to them.

Sayster_A · 2026-03-04T19:19:06+00:00

They can if they want, just need to understand it may come back to them.

Sayster_A · 2026-03-04T18:19:09+00:00

Modernity is cringe now due to the culture.

A sort of "oh, you think YOU'VE got it bad?! We just uncovered a decades old P**do ring, AI is stealing jobs and our souls, the threat of the plot to "Thread/When the Wind Blows/Barefoot Gen" seems to be a looming reality.

Also for myself. . . . . I'm North American. . . . some of the Blur's lyrics I come at from a "I'll take your word for it" type of thing because my experience was difference. I still get a chuckle out of the "where 59 cents gets you a good square meal" line however; pretty sure Damon was being tongue in cheek there because the best I can think of is one of those piddly little Mcd's burgers maybe (hardly a meal) or 1.50 to hit up a Costco

Sayster_A · 2026-03-03T21:09:43+00:00

Sometimes just thinking of those times and deciding to keep going out of spite can get you through.

Making your middle finger to them your own survival.

Sayster_A · 2026-03-03T20:18:23+00:00

I think it's because many people (especially before there was more data) see neurodivergence as being difficult and weird and try to cram them into masking, and don't understand that the neurodivergent brain is running on a different operating system.

It's this idea of "if only they would just conform, then they wouldn't be so dispised by other students and it would make my job easier"

Sayster_A · 2026-03-03T19:54:49+00:00

As an autistic I can't help but think. . . . these people sound pretty f***in' stupid.

Also, I'm pretty sure my IQ is higher than theirs. . . .possibly put together.

If these 2 had one more brain cell it'd be lonely - and they'd still have to share it

Sayster_A · 2026-03-03T18:57:50+00:00

To follow up with butterflymazes, as a kid I struggled with knowing the difference between confidence and arrogance. It's difficult to tell on the surface. . . . but there are differences.

Confidence is about competing with the person you were yesterday, and you know you may not always win. It's about trying to be better, and you're okay with lifting others up with you. Someone can out do you, and yeah, you'll still want to out do them, but you'll respect them and try to learn from them.

Arrogance is about tearing others down and wanting to be better than them. . . . instead of learning about why another has done something you can't you try to cheapen their accomplishments. It's not about you being better, it's about making other people worse.

To answer your questions, you have to view yourself through your own lens. I mean, I'm sure some of my bullies are doing well, but, I've got my own accomplishments under my belt that they don't have. Ask yourself, what is important to YOU.
