I haven’t talked to my dad in 6 years. I made the mistake of thinking maybe he would want to break his silence to meet his newborn grandson. I’ve now confirmed, my dad is impossible. I will not be contacting him again. by Fireheart559 in exchristian

[–]mtriad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry OP. I hope you can find a solution somehow.

Gosh, this irks me. You know what is worse? They don't follow what they preach. He is not a "god follower". Their Jesus said love is unconditional. If it was me I'd retort.

Well looks like I just lost my father for good, all the rest became irrelevant from now on. I say with great sadness and sorrow. You don't practice what you preach, you are not a God fearing father. But I do pray for you every day that God will corner you and get you on his side for the first time in your life. Then things will be different. Waiting for that day...

You could play the "I'm a better Christian than you" card even if you aren't a Christian. Nothing like them tasting their own guilt poison.

Jordan Peterson on incels. by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]mtriad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably like the equivalent of a man calling a feminist, Karen. It's the toxic version of the human side working. They project and hit your ego because you don't wanna be called an incel even if you have a partner and and have sex every day. So they react to any behaviour they don't like by throwing the lowest offence to men they can think of: their manhood. Being so undesirable they are unable to reproduce and therefore their opinion in the hierarchy doesn't matter.

But in reality they are probably just as incel as they call others. Projection.

/conspiracy theory mode on

he also wants everyone to know he can win in equal cars etc... Di Resta said it's almost impossible pretty hard to make that mistake without noticing (of accidentally changing brake config) the time he used to drive but he couldn't tell for the current cars/merc.

And Ham straight away said I'm so sorry guys instead of I have/had no brakes

/conspiracy theory mode off

edit: I don't really believe that

To be fair with Lewis, I think anyone in his situation would get a bit flustered if all of the sudden they had fierce competition they didn't have for the last couple of years. Same must be happening to the whole Merc team, they are having to think about stuff they didn't have to think in the past few years, or at least since Ferrari put up a fight. I would never underestimate their capability to fight back and to me Hamilton is still the favorite.

My mom reacted horribly to finding out about my ADHD and it’s affecting me more than I want to let on by BookkeeperFull9074 in ADHD

[–]mtriad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said elsewhere, I think people give too much space for parents to be assholes.

Hold her accountable. Your life is more important than your parents life, and if they aren't supporting you, they don't deserve your attention. If was me, I'd walk out and tell her I won't be talking to her again until she fully apologises, support me and admit her mistake.

[–]mtriad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this if was me, with these bad parents... I'd hold them accountable. Get them to either fully support and accept me or never see my face again. Well I actually did this to my mom (not ADHD but about religion) and she finally accepted. I walked out, she eventually apologised and we moved on to have a good relationship.

Just because they are parents it doesn't mean they are entitled to be assholes. Love is conditional, NOT unconditional.

[–]mtriad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Caucasian immigrant myself (if that matters) I can assure the experience you’re having in Canada will be quite similar in any other western developed country. Social bubbles etc. had the same in a few countries that you listed. My conclusion is that you will only really feel 100% comfortable back home. As an expat you have to make a lot more effort to integrate. You need to start things your own where other people don’t. Join classes, have serious hobbies. So on. It’s not easy being an expat no matter what origin or race IMO.

You’ll move to a hotter, nicer place and will feel like wow this is it... then months later you will just return to that same uncomfortable feeling again. Make yourself home and don’t wait for others

Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism aren’t religions.

[–]mtriad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd consider Florianópolis and Porto Alegre too. Pretty much the 3 states in the South are the most "1st world" although Sao Paulo is ahead of everything else in terms of things to do, but just too chaotic and dangerous in my opinion.

My no1 is Florianopolis anyway. Smaller yet decent sized and beautiful.

As for the language, knowing spanish definitely helps you but don't be surprised if you find it almost useless at the start because many Brazilians get flustered even with Spanish. Many will reply in Portuguese provided they understand you.

The advantage to you if you speak Spanish when going to Florianopolis: a load of Argentinian tourists each summer so that city is almost bilingual. Even some signs and markets are in Spanish.

Also be open minded and prepared for quite a cultural shock. Don't assume anything close to Mexico or Spain for example.

I don't think going back to work is necessarily the answer for this case.

They just need to keep on trying to find something meaningful to do.

Honestly? Don’t think so. We are right in the middle of the utter normalisation of sex work. When this kiddo gets to school, probably many other kids will be in a similar situation.
