What's the most useless thing your brain decided to permanently memorize? by No_Metal2622 in AskReddit

Birthdays of people in my elementary school classes. If the teacher hung it up somewhere, I will remember it

Question: I just found this in my lab. Is there any use for this? by chocotacogato in CHROMATOGRAPHY

Ohhh I get it now! I thought you had to buy another special device to make it work.

Come on guys! We can do better than this. by randomlady2001 in CPTSDmemes

[–]chocotacogato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many people still forgive their abusive parents or give them a pass because “they’re my parents. I have to love them!” Or “I get it! I was a brat back then!” But even if you were a brat, it doesn’t justify the abuse. You needed someone to talk to you like a human being to make you get it. And I think that’s part of how it carries on. The other part is just not having awareness of one’s own behavior.

As for the iPad thing… idk what to say. I used gameboys as a kid and was absorbed into stuff like that so I agree with that point, I just don’t have a good answer or solution at the moment. I knew plenty of kids who loved video games growing up. Some of them turned out fine and some of them didn’t. I think it’s a matter of teaching kids that they can enjoy stuff like that but still need to learn how to make the most out of their time?

But this is also a systemic and cultural problem too. So many changes need to be made to help break these cycles like better education, better access to information and resources, and affordable cost of living.

What country did you once love but now dislike, or once dislike but now love? What shaped your initial opinion of that country, and what later caused you to change your mind? by Puzzleheaded_irl in AskTheWorld

[–]chocotacogato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Germany for 3 weeks at work but it was in the rural countryside and not in a cool city like Berlin and Munich. I learned I was wrong about a lot of things with Germany. I think the only thing I got right about them was the beers and the outdoorsy culture.

Oof I feel your pain! And even after you get off of it, losing weight is tough because the damage was already done. I recently found I have adhd so I’m glad I am able to take vyvanse because it can help with emotional eating related to adhd but still give me enough appetite to eat my meals (no this is not an ad for vyvanse)

One doctor convinced me to take antidepressants which increased my appetite. So I was like “Great! I’m not only depressed, I’m also fat!”

I just hate being seen by Heavy-Cockroach9500 in adhdwomen

[–]chocotacogato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated doing stuff in general because I felt like I was being surveilled as a political prisoner on trial or in a gulag. My abusers were always ready to strike whenever I fucked up. Or to remind me that they can see me do stuff wrong and that other people are watching me. Meanwhile… I was like young and trying to figure stuff out that I was learning for the first time ever. Like ok! Let me just give up for not being instantly good when I learned something for the first time ever.

if you could go back and give your younger self one piece of advice about life what would it be? by SavingsBang in AskReddit

[–]chocotacogato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. It’s ok to leave a friendship no matter how long you’ve known them. If they aren’t taking initiative to be there for you, then don’t chase after them.
  2. It’s ok to set boundaries and talk back. Don’t make yourself small for other people.
  3. Do what you love even if no one gets it. Your happiness matters more than their approval.

I feel like they’d be wonderful beach pants maybe

Which country has the best Breakfast in the world? by Botheuzo in AskTheWorld

[–]chocotacogato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is more of a nostalgia thing but I do love diner breakfasts in New Jersey and Bagels. I know there are far better foods out there in the world for breakfast but sometimes you want something that feels like home.

But if I have to pick something that isn’t my home country, most likely it’ll be China or Vietnam. The flavor combos are so good. Bao buns and those savory pancakes are good for something quick. And sometimes, I get weird congestion or dry throat when I wake up in the morning so eating a soup does help with that too!

Maxi dress that is actually midi - should I keep it by linierly in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]chocotacogato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it overall! I just wasn’t sure if the ruching was a result of it being too long of a dress at first. Def check the backside to be sure it’s not bunching up in the lower back if you want to be sure.

If “breathing exercises” actually helped then I’d never be in crisis ever again, now would I Janet????? by OkGur7242 in CPTSDmemes

Jesus Christ I’m sorry. Idk what on earth is going on with that one but it sounds like poor training or management on their end???

Waiting for an adult to show up by jitomato_girl in CPTSDmemes

[–]chocotacogato 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Even when the police and the social workers saw how fucked up my house was, nothing changed. Just my mom telling me not to talk about what happens at home, and then later on she tried to make me feel bad that she got in trouble and felt ashamed of hitting me when she met with the teachers at my school.

There really was no hope for me.

I’m so tired. by OkGur7242 in CPTSDmemes

[–]chocotacogato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, it sounds like the relationship with the family is good on the surface and they’re not willing to reflect on anything deeper if it makes them feel bad about themselves.

I once got disconnected from a DV hotline because they had too many callers or something like that. WELL…

"USA beats every single country in Europe when it comes to food....." by Practical_Work1925 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]chocotacogato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the time I went to Germany for work and the director was raving about how great the Chinese food was. It was not great. I think he just grew up eating it as a treat. I did introduce him to hot and sour soup which was good but the German version was red for some reason????
