Well, who raised that idiot?
At some point you have to take responsibility for yourself. You cant just blame every failing on your parents.

Without going through steps 1 and 2 it’s impossible to get to steps 3, 4, and 5 without feeling gaslit and invalidated just like you always were growing up, which can rehash and reinforce the trauma, perpetuating the cycle.
That’s what society in general, and people who had healthy parents, don’t understand. They want us all to skip to the end of the process, ignoring the fact that not everyone was so fortunate to be raised by emotionally intelligent people.
A very basic understanding of developmental psychology is all it takes to see how significantly the influences of one’s formative years can impact their social and emotional development long into adulthood.
and in severe cases, lifelong health issues, such as autoimmnue disorders, suicidal ideation, etc. thanks mom and dad!
Yes. You deserved better than what you got. Unfortunately the only requirement for becoming parents is a pair of working genitals.
I hope you’ve found or are finding the healing and support that you need.
thank you so much, i have a wonderful support system and my own little family. things are still difficult but i have come far.
That’s great to hear
Even if you have relatively good parents, it is still an important step to realize just how many beliefs, habits, personality traits, worldviews, biases, inherited trauma, et al you’ve picked up from your childhood, usually primarily your parents. Many of these things are truly bizarre, wrong, or at least “not normal”, even a “normal” childhood.
Yes, that’s true. But boy do many people have a much better starting point depending on the emotional health/maturity of their parents
For sure
I just wanted to add that it’s still incredibly painful after these steps, therapy ain’t over then. Still worth it though. Be kind to your inner child, especially if they’re still crying inside.
I think you can kind of fork this path:
- blame parents
- realise they did what they thought was best
- still be messed up
- wallow in misery continually making the same mistakes every day
- accept your mediocrity
I thought we all just don’t do the forgiving ourselves thing. And avoid the mirror so you don’t have to kick that guy’s ass for looking at you like id look at me
You can blame some though, like a failing in critical thinking is a failing of how a person was raised.
Continuing to fail is on you, though.
Well yes of course
I dunno… to me, it didn’t make sense that Bitcoin became valuable. I figured NFTs were just bitcoin tied to a picture, so why wouldn’t they have a chance of being worth something too? Makes just as much lack of sense.
Note: I have never bought any form of cryptocurrency, but honestly, mainly because it was too much of a faff to use.
Sometimes no matter how much parents try their kid will still end a dumbass.
His stepdad, of course.
You can only do so much while the pre-frontal cortex is still developing.
this seems like something my dad would do, deservingly to be fair. I’ve gotten up to some pretty stupid shit
for example I currently have a sprained wrist from falling off my unicycle during my break at work.
I always tell people “you can’t fall off a unicycle”. I’ve actually fallen once and nobody was around to see.
99.9% of the time you can easily dismount and let the cycle drop, but once in a while you can actually fall
that’s very true, I’m not the best at free mounting and often bail 3 or 4 times before I actually get going. (also a 27" wheel so a bit more difficult than my old one)
what happened that made me actually fall and not just bail is that the road was at an angle and I had my psi a bit too high so it kinda popped out from under me.
I caught myself with my hands, small scrape on one of them and sprained the other. Also scraped my knee too. I used to have wrist braces but I lost them when I moved and haven’t used it regularly enough to get new ones. I probably will now 😅I saw someone yesterday with a big wheel who I was sure was about to bail. He was unicycling down a pretty steep street. He managed to make it down the street and turn the corner, but it looked like a real struggle.
I know from riding a fixie that for streets that aren’t too steep it’s not hard, you just have to effectively “pedal backwards”, allowing slowing the pedals down as they come up behind you. But, I don’t know what a unicyclist can do on a very steep street. What I would do on a fixie doesn’t work because it requires small skid-stops, which means you need a front wheel.
What would you do on a steep hill? I assume that by the time you realize it’s too steep you’re already going pretty fast, so just bailing would be difficult.
What would you do on a steep hill?
to be honest I would probably just fall 😭 i live in Florida which does not have a lot of elevation variety so I luckily don’t have to deal with that problem as much. I know on the REALLY big ones or ones for off road use (which look sick btw) they have a brake handle on the front
Hmm, ok. I thought there was some trick to learn. A brake almost feels like it’s cheating. You’re right though, it looks cool.
I once said I should do a thing and break a bone and then I did the thing a few times until I broke a bone.
You’re in second place
I have looked back on some really stupid thing I did and wondered why no one in my family called me out. Not that I blame them. It’s just weird to me that I smoked cigarettes all those years and they never gave me shit for it. My brother even gave me a fancy lighter for my birthday once. Again: not their fault I was an idiot but telling someone they are being a dolt can be an act of love.
I never tried a unicycle but really want to because I think I’d be good at it. Do the skills from regular bike riding no handed transfer well?
It’s funny, when NFT’s started I said it was the dumbest thing ever and everyone online jumped all over me and down voted me into oblivion.
I think digitally verifiable ownership could be cool for, like, a digital TCG or something. But you’d need an actual use case for why this ‘ownership’ matters, which just isn’t true of the most noteworthy use of nfts.
I’ve never understood TCGs. Why not just print out the cards. Why not to use a randomizer from which one should make up a deck for one duel. Is the fun gambling and consumerism?
what you describe is called using “proxies” and different houses have different rules.
The store where I play allows for 10 proxies per deck. In the olden days they’d take a finger for every proxy but now they just take a finger nail.
I mean, yes, gambling is part of the fun XD
I don’t actually think gambling is the problem, capitalism is. A healthy amount of low-stakes risk taking is a perfectly good activity.
Not sure what internet circles you were in, but I’ve hardly ever seen people be positive about NFTs in mine
The dangers of using reddit
See, you forgot the important rule of the Internet: Being first is the same as being wrong.
/s
I thought the tech could maybe have a use case but PNGs was utterly useless.
I was thinking about NFTs yesterday and how AIs have probably scrapped them all and will happily copy all the monkeys and such.
Think I could sell AI generated NFTs?
Eh. Use an AI to make smaller AI models that have different combinations of personalities (this one acts like Elvis singing opera, this one mimics Einstein with a cowboy accent) and the create NFTs for the ownership of those personalities. Each one comes with it’s own bot-created twitter account, and it posts. The holder of the NFT gets any revenue the account generates.
Anyway, if you build this, send me a cut, I’d like to get rich from stupid people who would actually go nuts over this.
If you were this stupid and had a billion dollars and funded this idea then you would surely become a millionaire.
Not necessarily. If you donated a few millions to Diaper Don, it would soon be clear that this product is needed in the government, and those contracts would make you at least another billion. This is how you do business in our current era.
This is how you do business
in our current era👩🏽🚀🏹👩🏽🚀lord diapers is just making it all very public. Real money has been keeping quiet since Versailles, but doodoo prez is a gauche, nouveau riche hillbilly of a poorly inbred line, who’s father was never anything more than the fetch-boy for wealthy backers, and he is (thankfully) making visible the horrors that the wealthy have always been up to.
nobody buys nfts anymore. that shit crashed fast and hard
Isn’t that exactly what Donald Trump did with his electronic trading cards or whatever they were supposed to be?
Yes! I forgot about that. Too much interesting times to remember it all.
Don’t give ai companies/nft bros ideas.
I am sure someone would buy it
“How’s the timeshare doing, dad?”
At least Dad got to touch something for his money. NFTs don’t even deliver on their sole mission statement
What was their mission statement? Here’s a picture that you own the copyright of? I don’t see how they could ever make sense unless they were legitimately fabulous images that people loved and wanted to buy prints of
To own a digital asset that only had one original. Something that could have an identifiable, singular owner despite being a digital asset. Problem is no one gives a shit if you’re the original, provable “owner” of a jpg someone else made. Which makes these worthless to all but idiots who fell for it.
You didn’t even own the JPG; you owned a receipt for the JPG.
It’s like claiming you own Facebook because you bought a link that redirects to it.
Wasn’t it more like a receipt with an url on it that may or may not still be the image that was at that url when the purchase was made. Or maybe you could do a hash of an image, at which point changing a single pixel or cropping it would change it into an image you don’t “own” and most people won’t have any idea how to even check it.
Really, with the lack of tech savyness out there, the best way to own an NFT would be to just lie about buying one and what it is.
The dumbest thing in all this is that NFTs could have been legitimately useful for a bunch of tasks, but the whole thing got burned by cryptobros.
Oh they typically didn’t even include the copyright. That’s at least an asset and why would they include an asset
My uncle used to go to timeshare sales pitches 2-3 times a week. Never bought a timeshare, just went for the free dinners. He was so bored with life that he didn’t even mind sitting there listening to them babble. The only other thing he had to do was to call up my dad and discuss how gas prices were slightly different at different filling stations.
A free supper is a free supper.
I love people who have time shares, because I have a thing that let’s me pay $300 for a week at the resorts when the owners don’t utilize their time slot.
“At least I can be inside something that I enjoy”
Provenance is the biggest issue in Art. NFTs aren’t stupid, thinking that computer generated ape artwork with no actual scarcity is a good investment is stupid.
NFTs are stupid. Provenance only matters when it comes to the ownership of art. For the real purpose of art, the viewing and appreciation of art, it doesn’t matter at all.
For digital art, provenance only matters if someone wants to create artificial scarcity by applying intellectual property laws to art. Trying to make digital things artificially scarce is stupid.
Of course provenance matters in appreciation of art. Do museums put up fake artwork or do they only try and show actual pieces from the artist.
People who buy art absolutely care if the artwork they paid for is genuine. Collectors absolutely care if they can prove they own something that others don’t.
Sure, if you don’t care about artists getting paid at all, or you don’t care about authenticity, then NFTs aren’t for you.
Of course provenance matters in appreciation of art.
Of course it doesn’t. Do you need to know who painted something, and who owned it, to know whether you like it or not?
People who buy art absolutely care if the artwork they paid for is genuine. Collectors absolutely care if they can prove they own something that others don’t.
Yes, and fuck those people.
If a museum advertises a Picasso but it is fraudulent most people would consider that a bad thing.
I care about artists getting paid. Sure, hate collectors all you want, but getting rid of them reduces the purchases artists do get.

Who cares?

You don’t need NFTs to ensure artists get paid. You don’t need intellectual property laws to ensure that artists get paid. Most of the best art in history was made before intellectual property was a thing, and the artists who made that art generally were paid.
You think most of the artists that made famous art got paid?? Plus you think people don’t care if artwork that is claimed to be authentic is actually fraudulent??
Thanks for demonstrating you don’t have serious or informed opinions.
You think most of the artists that made famous art got paid??
Yes, I do. Have you heard of Patreon? Do you know the word it’s based on, “patron”?
Plus you think people don’t care if artwork that is claimed to be authentic is actually fraudulent??
People care about all kinds of things. Maybe instead of worrying about whether or not something is authentic, they should just think about whether they like it.
Thank you for demonstrating that you don’t actually like art for art’s sake, you care more about knowing your art comes from a famous person.
The amount of money spent is the deciding factor. If it was like $10, people waste money all the time. If it was more? Gets stupider by the dollar.
It’s not a specific dollar amount like 10 dollars.
It should be pointed out that if you are young and you took an appropriate amount of risk “investing” in nfts, that’s not a bad thing. You should take some financial risks and failures while young.
If you went into debt or spent your family’s life savings on it, you have a gambling problem.
Just waiting for that 2040s ironic nostalgia wave to drive up the price again lol
What’s very dumb about this is that the rings themselves are probably already non-fungible, so even then, it’s dumb to store an NFT inside of them 😬
As I understand it, they just exchanged the NFTs, nothing mentioned about having them inside the rings. Nevertheless, it’s just mind-bogglingly stupid.
I still hold an “NFT”. A tank i won on a challenge in War thunder. Grinding motherfuckers, but… it was a nice tank
Was it the monkey drinking it’s own pee? Because I don’t care what the critics say, that one is priceless.

Oh no, I’m sorry that my dyslexia caused so much trouble for you, random person on the internet.
Have you considered just growing the fuck up?
I think the one who needs to grow up is the one who left this butthurt comment.
I think the one who needs to grow up is the one who left this butthurt comment.
Yes. I agree. The one who left that butthurt comment that I’m now replying to should grow up. You are very wise.
Ooh, an attempt to turn around and pretend you’re not butthurt! Not only did you leave that long comment, I can even see you edited it. How long did you stew on that reply?!
I’m dyslexic. A lot of my replies have edits because I’ll notice I used the wrong word. I’m just doing to block you now. Enjoy being a dick to strangers on the internet.

Good, keep at it. I pointed out one you missed. You’re welcome.
You took an opportunity to say ‘whoops, thanks’ and moved on, but turned it into ‘watch me dig myself into a hole’. I have no horse in this race, and I was empathetic until you got aggressive, but then you just kept going.
I’m disabled, too. That doesn’t mean you get a free pass at being an asshole just because there’s a screen in front of you instead of a person. Own your shit.
I agree, Trump Rapes Kids… that’s a valid opinion l.
I mean, deserved.
