This won’t help your mom, she won’t change her mind and will try to drag the argument or will just attack until everything is destroyed. But here’s a clear rebuttal of the idea.

The failure of demanding everyone showing worth is determining what is worth and who gets to define and assign it. Every petty warlord believes they are the one to decide… and oh gee, amazing how they have the most worth.

If you tell your mom you will only accept her argument if she accepts you have more worth than her - and demonstrates it to you every day - it will probably make her go no contact until she needs you again for emotional affirmation.

Depression is real, I don’t have it but it’s real and I have friends that deal with it as part of their lives. It sounds like getting out of your mom’s sewer might help, but you might need medication as well.

Our Onion is the OC for all my satirical news articles. Little things like that are the seeds of a community.

Doodle is a great artist, if you can support their Patreon, please do.

I’ve started making claim email chains with the state ombudsman cc’d in the first email. Saves so much time.

Well once you’re lemmy famous, you can do anything.

Every drop of water makes the river, don’t forget you’re a part of the world, and you’re important, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.

Fucking our sharks, you mean.

Mostly I try to make people laugh, but more of an awkward laugh.

“Stupid Piece of Shit” is great for asking people if this is how they think. Some people don’t know they have depression from critical thinking.

I’ve always had a theory that in the lower classes, tattoos also served as a form of displayed wealth. As in, “I can spend $750 to decorate my arm,” which can be a lot of money in some circles.

Actually this is all a dream and we are getting more and more terrified you’ll wake up. Why did you give me a family I care about and the ability to fear us all disappearing in a blink as you wake? Why would you do this to me?

Wait, there will be rounds in a fight to the death? Does this imply the use of some cleric or shaman?

Can the lion start in the plane?

Research High Energy Radio Frequency (HERF) technology as well.

What if you wanted to program your toasting levels on your smart toaster, but didn’t want to cross the kitchen?

Wish they had a blooper reel called TATTACA.

I hate to bring it up, but the second amendment is a law.

And that’s the problem with the corruption we’re seeing. The poor of both left and right are seeing decisions favor the rich and powerful at the expense of what they believed were their rights. We need to correct the list of the ship of state before people start to work against it openly.

Had kids at 36 and 37. Feel this was a good age, as I’d done my adventuring and world exploring, and now they’re young teens and I’m in my 50’s. I’d be hesitant to have a kid now, as the sleepless nights of the first few years would hit really hard.

Did you really interrupt my minecraft game to make me read that?
