I can’t deal with my parents infantilizing me anymore. I have to move out
I moved out of my parents home last year. I love my parents and am grateful to have supportive people in my life, but it is stressful. They don’t infantilize me, but I don’t want to be in a place where emotional dysregulation is a daily occurance. (my whole family including me has ADHD, I’m the only Autistic person)
moving beyond your parents reach will give you a whole new outlook on life, take it from me
I can vouch for this. It’s like learning how to breath.
I saw this reel about a guy saying that private chinese investors are in a dire situation because they don’t have real estate schemes where to funnel their money so they are doing this scheme where they buy expensive pokemon cards in china and then take these abroad to sell to get foreign currency. It was framed in a “oh look at the authoritarian ccp prohibiting investors!” but i see it as a pretty awesome way to get rid of speculators. China doesn’t even lose anything since the only thing leaving china is pokemon cards, i.e. a worthless piece of cardboard 😂
Please share, I need my daily sip of bourgeois tears
it was a reel, it’s basically lost in the abyss by now.

This reads like when I tried to make chatGPT make music.
I’ve been organizing with a pretty organic student group at my college and it’s been pretty frustrating to watch the Democrat machine begin to co-opt us (indivisible showing up to student organized protests and ignoring our messaging discipline, and fucking Disrupt trying to absorb us).
A Kurdish protest in my city has been the target of a knife attack it seems. 6 people have been injured. I know a lot of people active in the left wing scene who often visit these rallies so hope nobody got hurt. So far no info on the suspects.
According to local anarchists the protest was attacked by jihad supporters, whoever that may be
Currently in the process of joining a local coop supermarket where everyone becomes a member and joins in running the supermarket as a cooperative, using only bio and fair trade products at an equal or even lower price than regular supermarkets.
Not necessarily communist led but still a cool thing to join of you have such a thing nearby. Great way to meet people, I guess.
hapy cake day :]
The pro-DPRK YouTube channel is back
I always assumed it was liberal slop based on the thumbnails, is it actually based?
It appears it’s liberal slop
Any other USians have that “growth mindset vs fixed mindset” thing really pushed on them in elementary school?
I feel like it was in a literal sense true but I always felt really infantilized by it. Although tbh I always felt infantilized at school in general anyway.
not usamerican but turbo vassal state and yeah. it’s pretty basic for me and it was very incessant throughout all of my childhood (i’m still in school but they’ve cooled off cuz i’m not a 5 year old anymore) and even when i was 5 i was like Okay i get it. but i still don’t hate the idea of it because my dad when he heard about it was like holy shit this changes my whole life and i was like oh okay if it makes you happy
I did not have that experience, but the first thing I found in searching it on the web was an article about being an entrepreneur, so I can see what the problem may be lol. 💀 Probably gets warped into an individualist/idealist “overcome through power of will” thing. I know when I was doing therapy, I had times it seemed like my therapist was caught up in some thing about individual power of will and not properly acknowledging systemic factors.
Problem is, a lot of mainstream “advice” is there to redirect you back into integrating with capitalism and away from criticizing it, so they warp frameworks that may otherwise have legitimate aspects to them, toward that purpose.
Idk but you can get better at anything by practicing and studying.
The research around it is true, in that believing you can get better at something helps you get better at it more than if you think you are “genetically predisposed” to a certain level of performance in said task.
I think your experience of it being infantilizing is more due to the general cheesiness of psych and health learned in school when you’re young. When you’re young, you’re told all these ideas about eating healthy, sleeping early, adopting healthy psych techniques to help you succeed, like the growth mindset. At the time, we often disregard them as just irrelevant things that adults tell us, only to find out when we’re older that everything they said was right and they just kind of sucked at explaining it.
I myself am going through this revelation of eating healthier, sleeping better, learning useful techniques in therapy that all were touched on in grade school, but I didn’t take seriously back then until I ran into the problems I feel now.
this is very true god i fucking love sleeping at normal hours nowadays 📣 and i dont give a shit about my hs performance too so if they want me to bother with homework i tell them to fuck off and i sleep anyway . and life is so wonderful that way
