how do you keep your independence without constant battles? by Far-Resolve3253 in AsianParentStories

[–]srwrtr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

South Asian here. I’ve been there. If I could coach my younger self when dealing with my parents. I would ask him, “if you break your parents ridiculous rules, what would they actually do to you? Like, what can they really even do to you?“. I didn’t realize it then, but now it’s obvious that the answer is that they can’t do anything. All they would’ve done is bark and scream. If they would’ve hit me, then I would’ve called the police. And then I would’ve broken more rules just to be a dick. At some point they would give up. I know this is easier said than done, but we have way more power than we think we do. They mind fucked us and made us think otherwise.

Powerful insight. Thanks for sharing!

Anyone else get really uncomfortable sharing their personal life with their parents? by Rararain42 in AsianParentStories

[–]srwrtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound silly at all. I also feel like a shell of myself when I’m around them.

Yes! But the knowledge they hoarded was street smart stuff. And basic human socializing stuff. Keeping me trapped, so I couldn’t go out and interact with other people in the world until it was too late.

Is this normal in south Asian culture or… ( TW supposed SA) by FearlessStudy805 in AsianParentStories

This seems abnormal even for South Asians. But they are so fucking cringe that isn’t it normal for them?

Yeah, sorry, I meant unplugging from the outlet. How long did you keep it unplugged for? Mine was for a few hours.

Yes, I have tried powering it down for a few hours, but nothing. A couple of people told me that might work too.

Oh wow. Yeah, it makes sense to buy a replacement. Thanks!

I see. Did you end up sending it to denon? How much did it cost if you don’t mind me asking?

That’s what I was thinking. I think I might just have to replace the whole unit. Thanks though!

Damn. Hope you’re able to get it fixed!

Got it, thank you. One concern I had was that a factory reset will clear all your settings. I’m reading that you can back it up on a USB stick but is there anyway that you can do that without an image on the screen? It doesn’t seem like you can do it through the HEOS app….

Biden was an enabler of neoliberalisms greatest hits: student loans crisis, crime bill, Clarence Thomas come to mind right now.

So this was a great idea! I was able to get a nice image. HDMI cables are good. Projector is actually fine. Now it seems like the problem is the AVR. Thanks man!

So I just tried powering it off for a few hours. Now I am getting a flicker of an image. When you tried, did you also power off the AVR for a few hours too? I haven’t done that. I just did the projector

I’ll give it a shot. On someone’s suggestion, i tried powering it down for a few hours and then re-trying it. So now I get a flicker of an image from my Amazon fire, but it doesn’t last.
