Nightmare inducing

I lost my dad a couple of years ago and it was very difficult for me. He died of liver failure from drinking himself to death. He raised me, as my mother was not around and I didn't see her for years at a time. Honestly, he was a terrible father. It was routine for me to be expected to do everything in the house because I was a "woman"(I was 8), I would go days without eating because he would never buy groceries, he would gamble away all of our money(he surprisingly made a shitton), he would mentally abuse me every single day and so on. In hindsight, I would honestly describe my childhood as torture. When he was sober he would treat me nicer, especially when I was very young. Throughout the years, whenever we would have arguments I would always repeat that I hope he dies, that I would never go to his funeral and I would never visit his grave. I moved out when I was 16 and basically went no-contact. When he died I felt so terrible and broken. I could only think about all the times he was a good father and how much he loved me. I was not able to go to his funeral because I was in a different country. I have not visited his grave or even ordered him a gravestone. I feel such intense feeling of guilt nowadays, because I don't miss him anymore. I don't love him. I couldn't care less. I know I have the right to feel this way for all the hell he put me through, but I come from a conservative society, where "family is family" and that's that. With the I kind of realised that I was not actually mourning him, I was mourning the father I wished he was. I was not crying because I missed him, I was crying because I thought of myself as a little girl and how much she needed a father. That's basically it, honestly. It always feels so lonely whenever I talk with other people about our childhoods, because when others share even silly little stories it makes you realise how dysfunctional your childhood was and how much it affected you. I try to never think about it and move on with my life. A couple of weeks ago I watched the tv show about Natalia Grace with Mark Duplass(kek) and the episode where they left her alone in that apartment really shook me. I don't know if anyone would even know what I am talking about. I have gotten so used to not thinking about my childhood or what my parents put me through, that whenever I actually do it makes me spiral.

My dad is a strange specimen where he doesn't just victim blame, he somehow convinces himself the victim was actually the aggressor. Whenever he saw news articles of child rape he would always comment not just "kid's lying" but "Nah, the kid raped HIM!!1" like what? How does that even make sense, both physically and legally? How can a 6yo kid overpower an adult sexually?

Dude I cant believe that I was so fucking stupid. I thought that my mom finally learnt to accept me, like she stopped venting to people on the phone about how mentally ill i am and how I fucked over her life by being crazy or whatever, we talked, we went to cafes and even a relatively pricey sushi bar, we watched movies together, she complimeneted my art amd told me that Im talented and now its all gone and shes back to bitching about how mentally ill I am. Or rather thats what her opinion always was its just that during these few months she was trying her best to hide it but me getting upset over her bringing home her abusive druggie boyfriend made her snap drop that mask and now shes back to calling me a burden and talking about locking me up in a ward. why did i ever believe her. Fuck my entire life. She seemed to aknowledge the child abuse she inflicted upon me when I was a kid and now shes back to denying it. Genuinely so close to suicide rn, Ive tried talking to her and she just shooshed me off she dorsnt even realize the impact this has on me. Its like for a second I had glimmer of hope that maybe we can have a normal relationship but she just crushed it

>>2597666
Anon, not to scare you but if he's saying things like that he most likely has skeletons in his closet…

>>2599169
I hate to defend him but he's just a retarded victim blamer, he's too much of a shut in retard to actually have done anything. The equivalent of a keyboard warrior basement dweller who never goes out

During my first year of sparks, we "went to the moon". You entered "the moon" by crawling through several empty boxes, into a room a dark storage room with toilet paper all over the floor. I always thought there was an intentional deeper meaning behind the experience. The volunteers were weirdly blasé and negative about the whole thing too

>>2598841
First year of what? Huh? Why? Where????

>>2598858
First year of girl guides (sparks). This was a low budget activity that either sounded like a better idea than it was or an early integrative lesson about buying into hype

unitedkoopas because i still have a folder on my phone of all the images i saved off the thread/google dump (which is now gone)

did her name start with L or V?
looking to see if my personal BPD cow got around. If anybody's BPD ex's name starts with L or V, for the love of god, respond. I'll keep hinting - a fake name beginning with V, real name beginning with L.

>>2599079
Your picrel is so cute. I would love a griffinfield made out of ceramic and painted like this

>>2599079
second ayrt and unfortunately not, fake name started with a D. Are they making these crazies in a factory?

>>2599257
AYRT, I definitely think that the identity-void issues of BPD are prime breeding grounds for bullshit like fake names. It can do with identity instability, but I think that some of these bitches change their names to hide from their past.

Same. When I was in uni it was easy to find part-time work to do on the side but now that I’ve graduated I can’t find work in my field and the part-time places don’t want me anymore, either.

>job market flooded with Indians who will work for half your wage
ayrt and I can believe that. Over half of my coworkers and all my managers here so far have been Indians. I think there's more Indians than non-Indians here. lmao
Frustrating because most of them are not very good to work with. They usually get hired by favoring their own over looking for merit and often supervise with a very old school, micromanaging approach that is "Do as I say, not as I do".

>>2598989
I work well with others, which isn’t even a humblebrag I have been told multiple times that’s one of my biggest strengths. A work environment like what you described is the only time I have ever struggled with a team.

Boss makes a dolla I make a dime
that's why I poast on company time!

>>2599012
Was it for big companies where you have usually encountered this? I also consider myself pretty friendly to work with but:

1) I'm in tech, so it's an even bigger given that I end up having to work with a poorly socialized moid at some point. I've already had to and it was awful.

2) If it's a large corporate company, the more likely to have management with poor practices, weird power plays, and that don't know what they're doing. Being "nice" is a weakness in corporate environments. I don't think most "nice" people can last very long in one without becoming a jaded asshole. I'm hoping a smaller company, with a smaller and newer team would be a better fit for someone who prefers to be more laid-back like me.

>>2598717
Is this still a thing in the age of ozempic? Kek. I don't really keep tabs on that community, but i learned that the ones who decide to lose weight call it a weight release instead of weight loss and i think it's pretty funny.

>>2598721
No, nonny FatCon is how nonnies in the shay thread nicknamed the fetish convention shayna and other of thots attend each year.

>>2598635
I think how on topic it is depends on the cow. Like I disagree with >>2598621 because Heather has the habit of constantly declaring that she will go on a vegan diet then driving hours for ice cream every day. Her weight is a direct reflection of her cow behaviour so it's understandable to treat it like milk.

Whereas someone like Silvie, I don't really see the point of talking about it. Actually I have to go on a tangent about her, I don't see the point of her thread at all. She's milky in the sense that her life is kinda depressing and interesting, but watching her videos satisfies my curiosity. What's there to really shit on her for? From what I can see the worst anons have to say about her is that she's a hypocrite for calling herself a girl's girl but also hanging out with men. /snow/ threads are often full of shit like that where it's often parasocial/jealous weeb gossip rather than a reaction to actual milk.

dana is uglier than shayna, change my mind

People can worry about two things at once just saying. AI is also coming for all of us not just artists.

>>2587388

I want both of you to think about this- do you remember most or even half or a quarter of the generated images you've created? Not just the successful prompts but also the fucked ones, the ones that weren't quite there or didn't like or the ones you quickly skipped over without looking at it properly? I don't think you do because you've delegated creation to a third party. There's no reason for your brain to remember that because minimal effort was put into it, and after the hundredth, thousandth, millionth image it's just so hard keep track of. And that's the appeal, correct? Can you remember the drawings and paintings when you were younger? The arts and crafts you did in preschool? The drawing that you hated so much you tore up? I can recall pretty much the majority of things I've made, even if I hated it and thought it was utter shite or if I lost it forever. I'm sure you're the same. Drawing and making art no matter the end quality activates so many parts of the brain and triggers so many emotions, and that's a wonderful thing. It's hard because doing things patiently is always hard.
Are you willing to trade your time and memories for images you will eventually grow bored of? It's such a big chunk of time to forget, do you think that is what is best for you?

>>2598877
This is fascinating
AI prompts are for art what drones are for war psychologically

NTA but I think it at least checks out that he probably gets rides or has to take public transport or something. If you don't have a car you have no choice but to just come in, unless there's an outdoor seating area where you work.

My supervisor is fine most of the time, but she treats me like a naughty child if she thinks I've done something even extremely minor wrong.
For example, earlier a man asked me to put an extra slice of turkey on his sandwich. My supervisor happened to come near where I was working to get something and she caught glimpse of the extra-turkey sandwich, and she said, "no, you're not putting all that on!!1!" Like she was telling a child they can't have a cookie. Then after a second she said "not unless he asked for extra" and the customer said "yeah, I did." No apology or anything, she just reminded me to charge him for an extra slice, like I don't already know you're meant to charge for an extra portion of meat.

>>2598835
Hahaha this is how literally everyone with children acts
Don't take it personally, they're tired and the automatic parent mode switches on
Most people only have authority over their children, so when their authority is required elsewhere they just default to that which they know

>>2598834
you are female on reddit, they know 9 out of 10 times that would be a troon.

>>2598842
I wonder if troons would find it funny that I had to quit dairy bc I produce too much estrogen naturally. Life is so difficult for me, I wish there were more support for these problems

>>2598754
No it was on a post saying that if you don’t find some random podcaster attractive you’re a “woman”. She’s agreeing that women shouldn’t try to change what men find attractive as if women fucking care

>>2588799
>they're not actually spending their time travelling or partying or extreme sports or whatever they imagine parents magically can't do
It is harder for parents to spend their time partying and traveling, there’s no magic involved. You clearly aren’t a parent or don’t spend time around parents.

>>2588799
>most people not having kids don't feel compelled to be weird about it like them
dude its literally an online space specifically to complain about things related to being child free, what do yall expect, for them to be talking positively about being a parent? obviously on the day to day childfree people aren't bringing this stuff up because it's rude. We still think you're retarded for having kids when you're in debt. It's the internet, people vent when they wouldn't say that in real life. There are lots of people who think you're a retard and just don't say so, sorry to break it to you.
