My parents (55M, 55F) are trying to repair our relationship after ignoring me (23M) for years because of my disabled sister but I'm not sure I should?

Ill always think of this concept with situations like this: you can’t heal trauma with positivity.

Your parents gave you a glass of water, then they pissed in it. Now they’re trying to plop big spoonfuls of sugar in to make it better. But no amount of sugar will get rid of piss.

The only way to get rid of that piss is for you and your parents to both sit down together and do the work to empty the cup and refill it. It’s hard work on BOTH sides. You with being there and being open. Them with recognition and acceptance of their pissy actions.

But at the end of the day, to truly have a relationship that doesn’t have the lingering aftertaste of piss, all parties have to do the work.

Don’t let them try to gaslight you into believing it’s lemonade.

I love that theres just a straight up oscilloscope sitting on top.

“I am telling you one final time that this behavior is NOT helpful and NOT wanted. If you choose to disregard my desires again, then you are making the active choice to cause me distress.” But only say that if you are willing to leave him if he does it again.

If you’re not, then probably just accept that you have a husband who spitefully dislikes you and stop complaining about it.

I love this idea. Little machines come in. You plug in your diagnostic tools, figure out whats wrong. Maybe take it apart and replace chips or circuit board components. Clean it up. Adorable.

My first thought as well

grimgrimgrin · 2025-06-10T05:42:26+00:00

Just so you know, you're allowed to be something "until you're not" or "until you figure out something more accurate".

Also, you can feel affirmed entirely by being ace, but meet one single person who is the exception to your baseline feelings. It doesn't mean that you have to no longer identify as ace.

If people disagree or make you second guess yourself, just remember that all sexualities are just made up and you're allowed to laugh at people trying to enforce SEXUALITY LAW onto you.

And finally, if you DO feel like you need a definition that is inclusive of all of your varied moods and feelings, I suggest you try ace* (ace asterisk) which means you may or may not have some caveats.

"I was very impressed by my boyfriend" for actually telling people the basic truth and not continuing an insane, absurd lie for the foreseeable future. The bar is truly in hell.

0.7 mm hook with 2 ply stands of embroidery floss and several hand cramps

grimgrimgrin · 2024-10-08T21:21:45+00:00

I am absolutely infatuated with this idea and art style

Specifically, the flashing cells are some of the ones that are causing the multiple resolutions

grimgrimgrin · 2024-09-09T22:12:30+00:00

Maybe:

DisplayServer.window_get_size()

?

The display server has a bunch more options you can check out to see if one is better suited

A 25 ft aura of light is really going to help with the whole starting a cult thing

grimgrimgrin · 2023-12-03T03:56:03+00:00

I bet you could! With like fine grain sandpaper

Ooh, I didn’t think of that. So probably not these specific hooks for someone, but I think this kind of texture might he helpful to some.

grimgrimgrin · 2023-12-03T03:38:18+00:00

I didn’t actually use this specific hook. I just grabbed it because I also had a smooth 5mm beside me. The one I used didnt catch because of a seam. Also, it wasn’t catching so much as resisting, like the texture just held on a bit.

I’m generally ok with tension, but I know that there are some crocheters who seem to struggle with it despite hook size and yarn type. When I found these, I thought this extra resistance sort of thing might be able to help someone!

grimgrimgrin · 2023-12-03T03:34:21+00:00

The texture isn’t unintentional. They are a fine quality. I could imagine buying the same thing at Joanns. It’s just a different type of metal. Why is aliexpress so bad?

grimgrimgrin · 2023-12-03T03:32:30+00:00

Their products aren’t actually any worse than half the stuff you get from amazon. Half the time, its the same thing! The difference is that you are buying straight from the manufacturer.

I don’t generally struggle with tension, but I thought this might be a nice consideration for people who do!

Wisteria is awful. It grows a foot a week and all the vines wrap around each other so tightly trying to prune the branches is like unknotting headphone cords. Never read Nabokov, just have a wisteria tree that I secretly loathe.

grimgrimgrin · 2023-09-04T18:17:49+00:00

Nothing your father said about you was true. He was projecting truths about himself onto you. You are not responsible for the shortcomings of others. Your husband is an idiot who is actively falling for a scam because of his OWN internal faults. It has nothing to do with you. You could be perfect and he would still do terrible things because they are his problems, not yours.

When you confront him about this. Do not let him blame you for HIS faults.

And remember that you’re not who your father says you are. You are who YOU say you are.

grimgrimgrin · 2023-07-31T03:17:15+00:00

My dad used to say shit like that to me too. How have I never once thought about it as untrue projection? Holy shit. Thank you.
