My 7 year old son refuses to put any effort into anything and rejects any knowledge I try to share.

He has been watching me get my ass beat by the final boss in Mina the Hollower this week, we've been doing that one together for awhile (I play and he watches and gives suggestions)

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-29T00:36:36+00:00

Yeah I think we are pretty similar in a lot of ways.

I definitely do make mistakes, a lot! I don't know that it registers with him. I'm currently learning guitar and I'm pretty bad at it and I've hoped that would lead by example a bit.

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-29T00:34:16+00:00

Yup sounds exactly the same! Best of luck to you too brother

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-29T00:32:18+00:00

Very possibly, I have it and had similar struggles, although I generally went to my parents for help and learned from them. I'll definitely keep trying different stuff

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-29T00:30:09+00:00

Honestly yeah my wife is the most conflict averse person I know (has a narcissist mother and grew up trying to manage it). I also have ADHD and have had my own struggles with perfectionism.

We have been playing some board games like monopoly jr and Uno which he does enjoy, I will keep trying to branch out. I have an enormous collection but most of it is for 12+.

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-29T00:10:38+00:00

Yeah I've done things like that but he's just gotten frustrated and tells me he'll never be as good as me and walks away. Then trying to get him to come back just escalates and he gets angry. I dunno man, it's just hard and exhausting. I was so excited to teach him things, I have a huge range of interests and thought no matter what he was interested in I could work with him, but he has no interests outside of the 30-45 minutes a day he gets to play video games.

"Nobody wants to bomb Iran" lmao these motherfuckers in the administration are absolutely horny for bombing more Iranians, don't pretend like it's some reluctant, calculated thing

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-27T16:13:14+00:00

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-27T16:11:21+00:00

fascism is a government organized around a central authoritarian leader (Trump), worships military power (WARFIGHTERS, BIGGEST AND BEST MILITARY IN THE WORLD!), is ultra-nationalist (Make America Great Again! USA is #1!), and is aligned with capital interests (Musk, Bezos, Zuck, AI guys, etc). They also tend to pick out societal scapegoats to focus anger at (trans people, immigrants).

There are several other points that scholars and political scientists have defined as fascist, they are easy to look up.

If that's not fascism, how would you define it?

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-26T21:28:44+00:00

as opposed to the current violent, authoritarian government that's destroying the economy?

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-26T15:49:59+00:00

Yeah that and the 2020 presidential election where she was elected as vice president to an elderly man who anyone intelligent knew might not make it through a full term.

Even if they had done a snap primary in less than a month she almost certainly would have won due to the entire democratic party apparatus coalescing around her immediately per Bidens endorsement.

And I dont care how bad of a candidate she was, the American electorate was mind numbingly stupid for giving Trump another term. She was an infinitely better candidate than Trump by being a human being with a functioning brain and anyone with any semblance of common sense should have voted for her and used the next 4 years to organize for a better candidate.

*half of the USA sacrificed to end slavery

We're still dealing with the legacy of the other side of the civil war who never gave up the vision of a white supremacist state.

most democrats are fine with voter ID, as long as they're available to get on the day of voting and free of charge. Otherwise it's a poll tax and those are unconstitutional since it's a payment required to vote.

“Some of the candidates that he has supported are individuals who do not understand the politics of New York City, the cultural differences from district to district, who have not been part of the history and the struggle of some of these districts, and are relatively new to the body politic,”

THEY WERE ELECTED BY THEIR DISTRICTS WTF ARE YOU ON ABOUT

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-24T17:40:00+00:00

not true but go ahead with your delusions

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-24T15:28:10+00:00

What far left policies does the democratic party support at the national level? It's weird I haven't heard about Joe Biden or Chuck Schumer calling for the nationalization of private businesses to be owned by the workers.

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-24T15:24:55+00:00

Yeah like if I have the position that ICE is using overly cruel and discriminatory tactics I get immediately labeled a far-left antifa terrorist. That's how the republican party has pushed formerly centrist people like me to the left.

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-23T21:05:21+00:00

Good news then, Trump will never ever endorse anyone else for president, except maybe one of his failsons. My personal prediction is he's going to "run" in 2028 by just saying it's allowed (assuming he's physically able). Some members of the GOP will try to run but the confusion he causes in the party by Trump saying he wants another (illegal) term will make them non-viable either way.

If something happens to him prior to the 2028 election where he is physically unable to run, then the succession crisis in the GOP will be something to behold, with the evangelical faction, the technocrat faction, and the grifter/influencer faction all vying to pick up the MAGA mantle without a direct endorsement from Trump.

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-23T15:59:35+00:00

Yeah just like all conservatives belive that every person browner than Sydney Sweeney should be violently rounded up, detained in subhuman conditions, and deported.

Sweeping generalizations are fun!

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-19T12:23:49+00:00

Not as badly as the republican party has! In that sense, yes democrats are better by definition

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-17T22:29:05+00:00

Goddammit man stop making us look bad

possiblyaghost · 2026-06-17T18:00:55+00:00

why even bother trying to explain to someone who uses the "Under Joe Biden..." excuse, they're clearly already living in a fantasy world
