    Any time I see Dr. Oz, I immediately disregard anything as snake oil. The man is a terrible human being…preying on the desperate so he can line his pockets with more cash. He was already a very successful surgeon making boatloads of money. How much of a greedy asshole can you be to then start lying to people to get more when you’re already rich?

    I’m assuming since you’re older now, you’re out of that environment, yeah? It’s one silver lining in things I guess. If your teddy bear were sentient I’m sure it would have hugged you back and told you everything was gonna be ok.

    Honestly, for me it’s a bit weird. I’ve actually forgotten a lot of the specifics of my childhood. I know my dad would do it, but I don’t really remember any specific moments in time or what my responses were. Memory is a weird thing like that. I guess because it was so long ago or something. Dunno.

    Aww I’m sorry that both of your parents were like that. Luckily my mom is a very sweet person.

    And hey! I’m a fellow computer dork too! I’m nowhere near the level of knowledge of many Lemmy users, but I’ve always been a casual tech/gadget fan since I was a kid. But somehow I never fully built my own PC until just the other day. Was actually a pretty simple process and things today are so much better at plug and play as opposed to long ago. Hope you’re still enjoying being a tech nerd haha!

    Humans are messed up in general so it’s probably common enough tbh. My childhood was a bit different though. The arguing was never mutual. It was always my dad screaming at my mom while she sits there and takes it. I remember realizing that was abnormal by watching media growing up… realizing that couples are supposed to love each other and that fights are generally a mutual experience, not just one person belittling the other.

    Anyway sorry that was oversharing lol

    I have the opposite problem. My dyer has the fucking loudest, longest, incessant cycle done noise I’ve ever heard from a dryer.

    It buzzes at defcon 1 levels for I swear at LEAST 5 whole seconds (you count out 5 whole “Mississippis” of a fire alarm level noise and realize how long that is). And the kicker is that it does it not once, not twice, but at least three separate times. First, it repeatedly wars you that the cycle will end soon. Then it does one final triumphant wail when the cycle ends…as if you don’t take the laundry out instantaneously that a bomb is going to go off or something.

    I absolutely cannot fucking stand this. I don’t even understand why it does this either. To me, washers should have end of cycle signals, not dryers. I’ve accidentally left wet clothes in the washer overnight and woken up to a horrible smell and had to rewash them. But when I leave clean clothes in the dryer? Literally zero issues occurs.

    One day I’m going to figure out how to open up the damn thing and smash the buzzer.



  • It’s because mortality is absolutely fucking terrifying. Anyone who says otherwise, be they atheist or religious or what, is just using some heavy copium/denial to try to deal with that shit.

    Cue the inevitable response I get from this about insane people claiming that they are happy that life has an end point and that they will be happy that they will cease to ever exist again so some mold can be fed or some random bullshit.
