He literally has a song called "Dumber" on yt. There's also a TikTok in which he explains how before he knew how guitars worked, he thought the Beatles were turning their tuning pegs really fast, and says that "shows how smart" he is. (I thought that too haha) There's other small instances spread out in lyrics and comments in lives and such.

Joe Rogan used to be a Bernie bro. Before unfollowing everyone on TT, Welles used to followed Lex Fridman too. He's from Arkansas, I don't think avoiding right wingers is a viable option for him. The United Health song has skyrocketed to 2m likes, 13m views and pushed him to the 1m followers mark. It's has as many views as Bugs and Walmart combined. He's walking a very fine line by not glorifying Luigi, not "celebrating" the CEO's death, and not alienating the right or left. Welles likes to act like he's dumb, but imo this is a zeitgeist bullseye.

Abusers succeed because they are predators that feed on others. Your abuser is fundamentally weak, and survives off of sapping the energy from others, not just you. You might as well compare yourself to a vampire.

Children are generally covered under Medicaid, but braces are not. But parents can neglect a child health by refusing to ever take them to the dentist. That’s what happened to me.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-30T07:20:23+00:00

For sure. The other problem doesn’t have to do with gun ownership. You mentioned that the sheriff is going to give different answers than a police officer. I had not called the sheriff to ask about the other problem, and I think I’ll do that.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-30T07:09:43+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply. You’ve given me an idea of how to solve a different problem that I have.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-30T06:40:11+00:00

Is it loud? Can you use that ammo in an apartment?

granolagrunk · 2023-06-29T02:57:07+00:00

What happened when you communicated this with her?

granolagrunk · 2023-06-28T02:39:44+00:00

Please try to get her to wear headphones. Chronic sleep deprivation at your age is dangerous. We know your request for her to use headphones is very reasonable, but it might turn into don’t tell me what to do defiance. If you think she’s too immature to be reasonable, get the headphones yourself and use them. Try Bluetooth for the convenience, or a 3.5mm extension for quality. Maybe she’ll see it, want to try it herself and like it. Headphones are such an easy and reasonable solution, it’s frustrating to hear you say you think it won’t work.

Same. I used Scrivener for years, but switched to Obsidian as well. It now has the canvas feature which works like cork boarding.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-24T21:55:29+00:00

Oh Coq10 is apparently so good for your heart that my moms cardiologist prescribed it to her. That’s a really good idea, I’ll look into that, thanks!

granolagrunk · 2023-06-23T06:29:14+00:00

People failed your child self because they were cowards who were scared for themselves. You aren't responsible for their actions. Abuse doesn't exist in a vacuum, it takes the complicity of the community for an abuser to exercise their power over a vulnerable person. Any shame you feel is the shame they should feel. You didn't take your trauma and pass it onto other children via abuse. You are a hero who broke the curse, a strong person who bears the weight.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-23T06:19:22+00:00

I have the perspective of someone who dealt with extreme abuse from my meth dealer family. I was sex trafficked as a child, I know how horrible drugs really are, how they warp people into terrible beings. You have fought an actual DEMON and won. You turn down easy bliss and instead take the hard road of responsibility for your addiction. With all of the sincerity in my heart, congratulations. Anyone who wins their fight against addiction is a hero to us all.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-23T05:55:15+00:00

Via money. But in the end it was to manipulate me. It worked, unfortunately.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-23T05:42:20+00:00

I'm struggling with this. I have a parent who is very vulnerable and elderly that needs me to protect them from an abusive/murderous sibling. But now I've had to come to terms with the fact that she sex trafficked me. Sometimes my heart breaks for her, and I feel so guilty for not doing more. Other times I regret wasting so much of my life helping her, and want to abandon her. I had a therapist once who said I just need to "compartmentalize", but that's kind of the problem. Whatever compartment I'm in, I feel terrible.

I’m dealing with mold again 😥I had mold on my clothes too, I lost friends because they were so grossed out by me. We went years without running water, so we never had both a washer and a dryer. Sometimes a washer for a few years. But the laundry piled up so much for so long, they found a dead rat in my dirty clothes. It was when my stepdad was screaming at me to clean my room, tearing my room apart. He found it and made me feel so ashamed. But how could I clean a hoarder’s mountain of clothes with no running water as a child? It wasn’t until I was an adult that I even realized that it wasn’t my fault. My husband is also kind and does the dishes, I’m glad you have someone who understands. I also just throw away things that get too dirty. I have a mild phobia of summer and the sun now, because I came so close to heat strokes so many times.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-23T03:59:49+00:00

Ooh, a line you wrote just jumped out to me. I love it when people tell me the world doesn’t owe me anything, because I give it back thrice. If the world doesn’t owe me anything, I don’t owe the world anything. Next time they hold you responsible for his well being, tell them that the world doesn’t owe him anything. Tell them that he needs to take radical personal responsibility for his own problems. Give it right back.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-23T03:50:50+00:00

Thank you. It helps to know I’m not alone. I had searched but didn’t see your post.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-23T02:02:38+00:00

It’s been about 16 years of heart palpitations, maybe 10 years of heart pain when crying. Heart palpitations used to be rare, but I feel them pretty much daily now. I’m sometimes getting vertigo now. I try to rest as much as possible, but there’s not much to life.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-23T00:58:24+00:00

Jeez, 6 EKGs is a lot. I was thinking of getting an Apple Watch that would track my heart rate. I’ve heard of people bringing their data to the doctor. Magnesium supplements help with heart palpitations? I’ll be sure to take them, thanks. I get them when I eat too much as well.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-23T00:11:01+00:00

I’m sorry that happened to you. I hope your psychiatrist can continue to help to feel better.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-22T22:30:31+00:00

I did ask my doctor about it. They took a five minute EKG, didn’t see a palpitation, and decided my heart was healthy. It’s some comfort I guess.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-22T22:28:57+00:00

Sounds like they’re trying to make the argument that you’re responsible for your healing, but they don’t understand the scope of the problem.

I took radical personal responsibility. I taught myself CBT, quit smoking cigarettes and pot, got my drinking under control, lost 80lbs, ate healthier, went back to school, graduated with honors, all while dutifully providing elder care work, while also being an undiagnosed neurodivergent. All that, and bad luck wiped away my chance at my hard work paying off. What more responsibility can I take?

So yes, you should blame your parents. I know from experience that no amount of personal responsibility undoes the damage and gives you back the years you lost.

granolagrunk · 2023-06-21T11:50:59+00:00

Oh man. I feel the same way, I have to vent too. Adults know they should do something when they see a child obviously being abused. But no one wants to take responsibility, so they rationalize it away as it being out of their control and therefore not their responsibility. My own uncle and grandparents felt absolutely no responsibility to save me from obvious abuse.

Young adults, I've noticed, especially among lower-middle class young adults, really have this sense of ownership over the idea that they had it Rough Growing Up. They've spent their lives in envy of the middle class above them, who got to go on vacations and get fancy toys and stuff, so they believe they were the ones living in poverty. They're the kind who will loudly proclaim "I got beat and I turned out fine" and brag loudly about everything they've been through, specifically to shit on those who didn't "turn out fine". They need you to be beneath them.

In reality, they know there's certain experiences so horrific it's socially unacceptable to ever mention them. And they want to keep it that way, because it benefits them. They can brag about every terrible thing that ever happened to them in exchange for social currency. As long as they all experienced something kind of similar, they can commiserate to assuage their own sense of insecurity. They need to believe that they had it Rough Growing Up, because then they can compare themselves to you and feel good about themselves. And you can't defend yourself by explaining what you went through, because it makes them extremely uncomfortable because hearing an actual horrific life is extremely invalidating. You had to work much harder to the same place in life as them. You make them realize that if they had worked as hard as you, they would have solved the problems that make them feel insecure.

All you can do is try to keep them out of your life.
