Okay so how the heck is my mom just able to... exist in the world and not fear social interations? Did I just get my dad's "introvert" DNA and this is why I'm the way I am?

Okay so how the heck is my mom just able to... exist in the world and not fear social interations? Did I just get my dad's "introvert" DNA and this is why I'm the way I am? - sh.itjust.works

Literally I just have this realization while watching a TV show… like… HOWWW. She literally just starts talking to neighbors… random strangers… like just out of no where… Wtf… Was she always like this? Did her having children changed and just made her not fear that anymore? Like does survival triumph everything else and so just have to be fearless to pave the way for us Oh why the hell is my dad kinda just… idk I see a part of him in me… He’s been in the US for 15 years and barely any English… I mean like the quietness part… cuz my mom managed… which I’m attibuting the English ability to the confidence thing vs my dad’s quietness and I just feel like he’s unassertive… Like my mom practically runs the household lmfao… Looking at it this way… it no wonder why my mom would be so disappointed in my depressed-ass I mean if I were in my mom’s position… I’d hate me too… I’m such a disappointment…

Any good resources for expats out there? - Lemmy.World

I plan on moving from Germany to Australia in September. So far I’ve been doing ok with the planning but I was wondering if there were any specific groups or forums for people like me/expats in Australia with tips and connections that could be useful to me. I already looked at a bunch of forums and it seems that at least the German language ones are largely inactive.

So, dead internet theory seems to get new supporting evidence every day. Where does it go from here?

So, dead internet theory seems to get new supporting evidence every day. Where does it go from here? - Divisions by zero

It seems like having a website open and available on the internet is getting practically impossible to manage, with bots accounting for more and more traffic. AI has gotten to a point where it can circumvent just about any form of captcha, sooooo, what? Does "the internet just get abandoned in favor of some other, better technology that we hope crops up? Does it fade away? Do the real nerds start their own separate internet, and not let companies in? I donno, food for thought I guess.

So my mom and older brother is visiting China next month, for duration of 1 month... how do I enjoy their absense from home? Is there a "to do list"? Are there fun pranks I could set up?

So they got their passports and the visas thing… Unfortunately dad and grandma are still at home… so it’s not a true “home alone” thing… But like I feel like this is a once-in-a-life time thing… the last time my mom left for an extended period of time was back in 2017 when my maternal grandpa died and they did a attend a funeral type of thing… Any ideas? Ooh also I’m so curious to how my brother is gonna deal with the firewall thing. I was like: “So what VPN are you gonna use? Lol” like I’m honestly curious And he refused to answer… Okay I guess enjoy your firewall bro I asked them to make sure to get some photos for nostalgia purposes… hopefully I get some… my mom is so tech-illiterate idk if she even knows how to take photos Mom asked me if I wanna go… I don’t feel like it… wanna go to Canada instead tbh… I’m honestly curious how the border stuff will go… ahem orange-in-chief and all Anyone ever have family travel for an extended period of time and you have “more space” at home? What did you do? Did you miss them? How frequently did you contact them during the trip?

Would anyone be interested in joining a roleplay?

What are some weird corners of the internet you've stumbled across?

What are some weird corners of the internet you've stumbled across? - Lemmy.World

I don’t mean gross stuff like SomethingAweful. I’m talking someone’s fever dream neocities page that details how to make a UFO engine using element 115. A blog that is wild conspiracy stuff that has aged like fine wine. Or some serial forum post that makes no sense but seems too complex to be performative. 17776 [https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football/chapter-1] is a good example, if you’re not familiar.

Anyone else's relative need to have an opinion on everything?

Anyone else's relative need to have an opinion on everything? - Lemmy.World

I have a relative staying over right now and he has to have an opinion on… everything. Examples: “That’s a nice watch… How much did you pay for it? That much? That’s too much money”. “That meal looks good… You should add some cheese to it” “What size is your bottle? Don’t you think it’s a bit large? it would be better if it was smaller” “That would be better if they didn’t add sugar to it. They put too much sugar in it.” Me: “There’s no added sugar”. “That would be better if they didn’t add sugar to it.” LIKE BRO???
