This moron married a wealthy husband and could do whatever she wants, but all she does is "hey Anon, ... No, I don't want to eat the meat on my food. Will you please eat it for me?". Snapped and screamed at her full volume today for it, it's so fucking obnoxious. I don't want to dislike my parents but I fucking hate her for this shit, I wish I could like them enough to resolve this. Can't really think of any way to do so because any open and honest conversation on my end would boil down to "I fucking hate spending time with you".

Your mother sounds like me though in my case i was figuratively raped to hell and back ever since i was born by everyone who could exploit, I'm pretty sure i have some kind of issue in my innards due to being kicked by an adult when i was a kid, i also got hit on the head alot so that might contribute.
Maybe your mom lived like that and is scared that you guys will be mad at her because that was her life experience
>what a fucking BITCH I HATE HER
You sound like you don't care about her so i don't see the problem on your end desu
>>34964096
>Sweets and smoking
I don't see how any of that is related desu.
But if you care about her just tell her your honest thoughts about her health and how you care, also learn to let her live her life, you can't live her life for her no matter how self destructive she is
>>
>>34964096
None of the things you listed justify thinking she's a bad person or hating her.
>Her entire personality is just self induced suffering in hopes of us being loyal to her and not stepping out of her wishes, this dumb fucking retard
This might, if you gave me actual examples of her manipulation your family in ill will instead of the self-harming bs you listed.
Just keep in mind your parents won't be around forever. Don't act in a way you'll regret. With that said, you have bad parents, I don't blame you for not liking them (no one is indebted to truly bad and selfish parents imo), your posts make it sound like you're way more of an asshole than your mom though.

The issue here is that we have no clue if OP is telling the truth, or his version of "truth". Option A is that she's indeed a narcissist. As another guy pointed out, that's a common manipulation technique. Option B is that the entire family is fucked and this pushed her to go nuts herself. When I was a kid I copied my father's behavior, so we both mistreated my mother.

Did you secretly like it? Do you get wet when you think about it? Do you have any specific memories you can tell me about that were particularly painful?

You love her and you're mad she's self-destructing. But instead of saying this like an adult, you lash out like a child because you're immature.

Not sadistic, just far less empathetic.
Vulnerability is getting to be much more of a liability as the years drag on. People seem to be more keen on taking advantage of one another; the world is getting very competitive. More than it ever has been.

It's not a good thing. Defensive strategies take too much effort away from innovation. The world stagnates as scavengers loom overhead. Eager for any weakness they might spot, we all get stuck into a holding pattern.
Circling the drain, as it were. A sad state of affairs, and I'm far too dull to suggest a realistic way out of it.
If you want my advice, find your favorite distraction. Pray its novelty lasts till your death, and you'll never despair.

i’ve been wondering something, how come pretty much every man i see on social media these days be incredibly misogynistic?

they whine and complain about being single and unloveable, then turn around calling random woman ‘foids’, ‘stress reliever’ and ‘bitch’.

Do they not realize that being a piece of shit won’t attract any women?

Dont give me any bullshit on how a woman rejected them or something, get over it. I’ve been rejected multiple times by men yet i’m not here calling them derogatory names.

It’s always “not all men are the same”, yet when a woman does something bad it’s “all woman are the same!!”

Why?

Flip this around. Being pro social in itself won't attract any women either.

If women aren't attracted to them to begin with, what's the harm?
Personality is a meme anyway. I seen women ignore stuff like being a convicted pedophile or woman beater because the guy was freakishly tall.

this statement misses a part of the picture and tries to create correlation, or even worse, causality, where there is none.

on the lower end of the male success distribution curve, you have misogynistic incels, that's true.
but on the higher end you have misogynistic chads (we used to call them 'macho' types) who game, pump and dump relentlessly because they simply don't care. and you shouldn't worry too much about them, they have no trouble attracting new women.

Following up on >>34924342
After talking to the family doctor, she immediately said it was a psychotic episode and he needed immediate psychiatric assistance, apparently he already had a history and I never knew. In hindsight the signs were pretty obvious and if I was aware of his condition I probably could have moved earlier, now he's had a year of this shit building up.
So with that said, anyone have any advice for convincing a crazy person to go to the crazy doctor? The family doctor offered to help convince him through an appointment, but that's all we have at the moment.
>>
Desperation bump
>>
i am not sure if there is much you can do, at least where i am, someone going through a psychotic episode have to seek professional help on their own accord, unless they are a danger to themselves or others.

go check out some specific subreddits for what you are dealing with, they usually have resources and information listed of these kinds of things. also inform yourself about the situation in your country, what your possibilities are.

good luck!
>>
>>34965616
what makes you think hes crazy and you arent?
>>
>>34970088
For one, external validation. The doctor and the immediate family all agree that he is having an episode.
Secondly, the denial of evidence. Whenever the evidence hinted at innocence, he ignored it and continued spying.
Finally, him having had psychiatric history before, as well as a brother who has schizophrenia.

How do I enter the workforce again after nearly four years unemployed & without study? I'm almost 22, and I've been taking care of my elderly grandma after having something approximating a nervous breakdown when I was a teenager.
All that mental baggage has left me now, but I'm still unsure how to place those first building blocks again. I intend to join the army soon to develop skills needed for a career, but I need something to keep me busy in preparation for that. I'm able-bodied, healthy, and still have decent communication skills. I have a year of experience with regular 40+ hour weeks at McDonalds, but I'm not sure how much of that is still with me now.
>>
>>34966097
What exact career skills do you intend to acquire in the army? This is very very important because being an infantryman gives you no skills and fucked up knees. Also, consider the navy too, Uncle Sam needs sailors more than he needs soldiers
>>
>>34966234
I intend to train as an electrician within the army, working on equipment and infrastructure. I'd also be doing what my deceased father requested of me, which is a high priority for me. He was an infantryman stationed in Malaya in 1968. The Navy would probably suit my temperament more, but I'm reluctant about the open ocean, and the Australian Navy is more likely to be involved in a crisis in the Taiwan Strait than the Army.
>>
>>34966247
Hey, that's a pretty good plan. If your armed forces are anything like ours, just make sure whatever you sign says you're going to be an electrician.

Looking for advice or feedback to make some sense out of this. during the late 90s-early 2000s my school had some strange program where they taught us how to run a cash register and order fast food. once a week or so, we would have a special day where we would go to a separate building, and we would use McDonald’s play sets like the one in the picture here and we would be there for about a half hour. It was better than doing math so I didn’t mind it for the most part.


we would split up into pairs where one person would be the customer moving the hotwheels car and using construction paper to mimic money, and the other person would be operating the drive through. Our teacher would patrol around the aisles and take notes on her clipboard and correct us if we made a mistake. I didn’t understand what the point of any of this was. The teacher took it really seriously so eventually it stopped being as fun.


Every so often real McDonald’s employees would visit and they would train us. if we did really well they would give us McDonald’s coupons, so most of us ended up going to McDonald’s a few times a week to get free food.


There was this one guy in the class who was really good at it, and one day the McDonald’s workers started talking to him. He signed some piece of paper and then he walked out of the building and we never saw him again in any of our classes. that part has always bothered me the most. What happened to him?


Eventually they stopped the program after a couple years, but as I got older I’ve wondered why they made us do all of that? In college I’ve asked people if their schools did anything like that, but the answer has always been no. Which is why I’m asking you guys, why the fuck did they make us do that? What happened to that guy from class who I never saw again? Am I weird for finding this so weird?

IQ and intellect are two different things. IQ is a measuring tool for the intellect and it only determines the level of basic problem-solving, while intelligence includes social skills, erudition and complex problem-solving.

They aren't 'intelligent' but nobody restricts them to be smart, since being smart is about knowing and being intelligent is about understanding.

>55kg, M
Just hit 30.
I've been trying to take better care of my health for the past year but never stick to it. Would appreciate some advice.

I tried all kinds of exercise/sports stuff but never kept at it for more than a month. I just don't enjoy it, so if I'm tired after work I end up skipping..

Tried a lot of stuff. Lifting, running, cycling, swimming.
Running I used to like (was in track in HS) but the air pollution has gotten way worse in my city, it's just hazardous to be out now.
Cycling (indoor) I stuck to the longest but it's just so fucking boring.
Lifting I tried to force myself to do it bc I know strength is necessary but I honestly just don't like it.

>Motivation
I guess I just want to be healthier, kinda. It's a weak motivation. It's more like I want to avoid future health issues however nebulous that seems.
>Discipline
I haven't been very disciplined at all. I tried and making it a habit by forcing myself into the gym every day for a month to do something but honestly it never stuck

The average credit card APY is about 20%, which means a monthly rate of 1.6%. A cashback rate of 4% is so obscene that you can miss two payments a year and still be ahead.

Personal consumption expenditures are about $17k a year. 4% of that is $680 a year. If you put that into the S&P500 at 8.7% average returns over the last 30 years then you'll have $10k out of thin air by the end of the decade. Over 40 years, this is 200 thousand dollars.

On top of that, take into account that the difference between a 700 and a 760 credit score is a 5% cheaper mortgage. A $700k house on a 30 year fixed mortgage is about $1.4m in total. 5% of that is another $70k out of thin air.

So via using credit cards I am at least a quarter million richer by 2066. You have no idea what you're talking about.

It's something that happens sometimes when you take a high dose of psychedelics: the normal operation of your brain is so disturbed for a while that you no longer have any sense at all of who you are, and are unable to think in any way that is familiar. If you've never taken psychedelics, you've definitely never experienced it.
>is this healthy or not?
It's not a problem; it passes. But psychedelics aren't for everyone, and can trigger psychosis if you have a predisposition.
