Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 08/10/2026He insists that we don't communicate with our parents. I gave my mom a bullet point list in an email I bcc'ed to a different email account to create a trail. I don't know how much more clarity I could've given. She didn't accept those points. (See also Issendai's "Missing missing reasons." 020
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Wow. Everyone's favorite pop-sci shrink and parental abuse denier, Joshua Coleman, gets paid to contact estranged adult children on behalf of their parents to find out why the cut off. So the parents didn't listen to their kids, read the emails/texts, but hire someone to harass their kids... 110

Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026ooof. I don't think I'd like that much, either. One big reason why I stick with slackware is that whatever you want to change, it doesn't stand in your way. (Which is good and bad, if you don't know what you're doing.) 120
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026We need to get the spices for chai, because we've got an absolute shitload of black tea. 010
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Like if you're going to a house that's also a business, and you're not sure you have the right place? If the door is locked, and someone asks you who it is, don't fucking say "it's me." You also shouldn't emphatically try to get into their kitchen by repeatedly trying a locked door. 000
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah, if I'd grown up in the age of smartphones and, hell, internet, it would've made it so much harder to get away from my mom. (She freaked the fuck out at me when I flew to another city without telling her...when I was 25 and living on my own.) I got a cell phone after I cut contact. 090
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026They honestly have no clue, not even when you send them an email with bullet points. 050
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah, for the Baby Boomers and their parents, that relationship was all one way. The kids respected/honored their parents, and the parents apparently did the legal minimum. That pressure is really hard to overcome. (And I'm glad the parent-child relationship is built on something more now.) 030
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think my tarot deck from a printer in Hong Kong received more scrutiny... 030
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It makes sense, though. Boomers had a transactional relationship with their parents. Love and being treated ok didn't enter into it. Millennials were the first to want more than that. I was an outlier as a gen x who cut my mom off. 170

Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 06/10/2026At what point does California just fuck off, take its 3 trillion GDP with it? Like they've got money, JPL, and a few reactors that could be made to enrich material, need be. Nukes are expensive, but they're a great deterrent. 010
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Did you listen to the most recent "This is Actually Happening" podcast? That person and the podcast subject have the sense God gave a goose. No, scratch that, the geese have more sense. 110

Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Like if you have a crazy neighbor? you don't engage, and you don't steal their pet to get it destroyed. You also don't ally yourself with their equally-crazy ex and get involved in that drama. Every step of the way they did everything *but* move the fuck away from that mess. 100
Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 06/10/2026OK, most recent "This is Actually Happening" podcast. If you have a neighbor killing your pets, making fake corpses hanging from your trees, and the cops are friends with her, why the fuck aren't you moving? And they *did* steal the neighbor's dog to take it to the pound. 100

Garpu @garpu.bsky.social · 05/10/2026"But you don't show any signs of autism!" From someone who isn't a neuropsych. Speaking as one who probably is, but isn't officially diagnosed (because in the 80's girls who could read were "fine"), it's tiresome and patronizing as hell. Look up masking. 000
