I hope you are an adult and no longer live with your parents.

If that is the case remember this. If you cannot have pleasant encounters with him, you are under no obligation to have them at all.

No obligation to keep seeing them, would be kind of hard not to have parents 😛

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You still have them, you just don't have contact with them.

[–] i_have_no_enemies 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

but then who will take care of them? they were there at my time of need, shouldn't i also be there?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You sound like you have a good relationship with your parents, many don't.

You can be there for them when they need you without putting up with the anti-vax ravings you mentioned. It is called setting boundaries.

You do what you think is right but also understand that is not a universal thing for all people.

not really.

i think it is best to minimize contact but not keep null, since these kind of people are self destructive.

that's the only reason i stayed , for their health issues.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

What about your health? Your mental health in particular.

Your parents raising you is not something you owe them for. You didn't choose to exist; they chose that for you. Raising you is the bare minimum they can do after making a choice like that. And now that you are older, you can reflect on the manner in which you were raised and decide what your relationship with them needs to look like so you can keep your sanity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nope they chose to get a child. You dont have to Do anything for them.

The "them" in that sentence refers to "encounters" not "parents".

Ah so that explains my D cups

It's all that government big pharma stuff that have given me moobs, things like:

  • Covid-19 vaccines;
  • Fluoride in toothpaste and tapwater;
  • Chemtrails;
  • a horrendous diet and little exercise;
  • pride flags
[–] WhiteHawk 34 points 1 year ago (3 children)

pride flags

You weren't supposed to eat them smh

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, but if I stop now, how am I going to perform my magic flag butthole trick? checkmate

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You shove them up your butt, otherwise you can only do it once. Duh.

[–] SuckMyWang 2 points 1 year ago

Technically you could do it again but it’s even less recommended than the original

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

But they look like sweets :/

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 4 points 1 year ago

Eating the frigging pride flags are making the frogs gay!

I’ll show my man boobs to anyone who wants to see them. Usually people tell me to stop showing them and say things like “gross” and call me bear tits but that hasn’t stopped me from whipping them out on every occasion and non occasion

I watched birds are not real Ted talk the other day, I think it was awesome to give a perspective on the conspiracy stuff and how people run with it.

If it flies, it spies. 🐣

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry you are going through that. Same thing happened to me, it really sucks :(

[–] sturmblast 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] AngryCommieKender 4 points 1 year ago

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "parental controls."

If you have some disposable cash and you're running into the "watch this video about antivax stuff". I recently discovered Kagi's summarizer works on as many YouTube videos as you want (seemingly by processing the audio itself).

It's been a bit since I've received a video like that, but I think it'll be a huge time saver for the next one... Or the next similar one...
