    Honestly I think i posted this before but it all came about when I explained even if I wanted to I couldn’t. Like I broke down the math of my income and savings and how much her care will cost. Had to explain the world her and her parents left us with nothing they were grifted and the pay gap from 1970 broke the game. Her Brain kind of broke and she got real quiet and has not brought up that i owe her anything since.


  • I don’t know if this helps but i had a similar experience. My mother would bring it up all the time. It was many years after I had just given up the guilt of it. It finally came out. She was afraid noone would take care of her. Deep down she’s knew she never did anything to help me and now that she was losing her independence in her age. She is desperate to believe she has leverage to make sure i will take care of her when she’s unable to. It’s sad and pathetic but once it came to light my anger turned to pity.


  • Started on Digg moved to reddit when Digg shot itself in the foot moved to lemmy when reddit shot itself in the foot. I will say I post and comment way more on here. Than I ever did on digg and reddit combined. This place feels more like old school forms than social media. Where people come out of the woodwork to be jerks. Ether because your views don’t match theirs or you get some spelling or grammar that’s not 100% perfect vs just engaging with your ideas for a constructive discussion. I can’t tell how many times I have come back to a reply and gone " you make a good point." on lemmy.




  • While I totally agree i also think that tool is like the machine gun in world war 1. We had guns before but it supercharged the rate in which the people in power inflict human misery. It’s like web 1.0 was like general relativity. Intelligent people just working for the further understanding of their world. Web 2 was the atom bomb taking that technology and using it to make carnage. Where it had the potential to just light everyone’s home.
