  • I know right.

    I just started listening to music and I started writing my own poems/lyrics and it feels better than anything "therapy" ever did.

  • Not OP, but someone could be possibly living in an authoritarian government or in a backsliding-democracy/hybrid-regime. Not everyone lives in a free democracy.

  • I mean its hard when you want to seek help, but all that is in the eyes of people that claims they are trying to help you, all that's in the eyes is 🤑 fucking dollar signs, how to charge you the most.

    (I'm talking about therapy/psychaitry)

  • My mom said "Us" is the family, "them" is everyone else.

    Nah, with that abusive individual you call my "older brother" and y'all as my parents? Nah, I'm good, fam. I'd rather make my own solo team.

    But now I have trust-issues so I can't really form a "team" with anyone.

  • something’s finally going right it immediately gets undercut and everything falls apart

    This is so me 💀

    Life is going a bit smoothly? Boom bullying, difficult assignment, test, shitty teacher, parents lash out, political problems, oops chemical spill leaked into your city's water supply (actually happened), a FUCKING PLANE CRASHED within a 10 mile radius of me, fire on your street, random dude crashing into parked cars on your street (wtf), a fucking global pandemic, civil unrest, suppression of protests, insurrection/coup attempt... etc... etc...

  • I predicted someone would make a brand new account after the timestamp of my original post just to comment on the thread lol 🤔

    Universe, are you trolling me?

  • But because the separation of power and diffusion of power makes it harder for a pleb like me to do the bribery, while a rich person can just buy all 3 branches of government.

  • OMG as a PRC-born American Citizen, this is so relatable. Literally you can have a second child in China during One Child Policy, and as long as you somehow (like idk ask friend to borrow money maybe, or just work overtime a lot) managed to find the money to pay "fines" (which I'd consider effectively a "bribe"), your child can get legal status. Money solves problems, literally.

  • Part of it.

    But even if they were good parents, I'd still feel like its scripted because of other factors.

    Because my "backstory" (I mean might as well use this word since I'm talking as if this is a simulated world), in general, is so fucking bizzare it doesn't feel real.

  • Try Cantonese Popular Music in the 70s/80s/90s (I heard a few random modern ones and the modern ones suck ass lyric wise lol)

    Look up Wong Ka Kui, Andy Lau.

    海闊天空:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu_FSptjRic (Sounds amazing to me as a native Cantonese speaker)

    Tonal language is very unique, I like them (yes maybe I'm biased since I speak one of these tonal languages)

    I think Vietnamese sounds kinda like an alt-universe version of Cantonese, the tones are so similar, but most words don't make sense to me. Cantonese people and Vietnamese people kinda descended from a common ancestor in... not that long ago in the past (relative to the entire human history). Vietnamese sounds so cool tho, I mean I think the nasal sounds are a bit too "extra" compared to Cantonese, but it sounds cool.

    TIL about Trauma Bonding, when a victim of abuse forms an emotional bond with their abusers. This can happen in parent-child relationships.

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What is the shortest playlist (in terms of total time it takes to play the entire playlist) you can handle listening to on repeat without it feeling too repetitive?

    memes @lemmy.world

    Fediverse be like:

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    People who listen to music regularly, how sad would you be if you were permanently deprived of the ability to listen to any music ever again for the rest of your life?

    Citizenship Ceremonies Are Back On in Upstate New York After Abrupt Halt

    How do you objectively tell if a parents "I love you" is actually sincere, if they actually care about you? Or if the words are lies and they don't actually care?

    Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    Immigrant children probably never have to deal with the embarassment of accidentally called their teacher "mom"/"dad" because of the difference in language.

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Humans suddenly gain the ability to selectively delete their memories. How do you use this ability? (if at all) How do you think society would change?

    Casual Conversation @piefed.social

    I think I have a weird obsession with my memories, and just the overall concept of memories...

    Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    Maybe most of society doesn't have much critical thinking because those who get those "critical thinking" genes go crazy from overthinking things and therefore fail to pass on the genes.

    Average Livingroom Conversation

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    People who can understand multiple languages, or have moved to another country, or otherwise traveled abroad; Do you feel like you experience existence from a PoV that nobody else can understand?

    Casual Conversation @piefed.social

    Does anyone here just write poetry in the own time and like... never publish them?

    Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    If it were possible to travel back in time and manipulate events, we could take a book back in time and publish it before the author historically does... as a prank...

    Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    The increase in literacy rates around the world is perhaps one of the most beautiful occurance of the past 100 years, perhaps the most beautiful thing in the entire history of humanity.

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Parents, do y'all love your children more/less depending on if they reciprocate it? Or do you love your children the same regardless, even if they hate you?

    No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Do you think there would eventually be technology to delete/replace memories (like the Men In Black device). How much do you fear such technology? (like misuse by governments/criminals)

    Mental Health @lemmy.world

    Why is the universe always against me? I finally stopped procrastinating and decided on a psychiatrist, I called and they said they aren't taking new patients...

    No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation/sleep-mode"?
