AI makes all animals more fluffy and cutesy than they are in real life. My mom keeps trying to show me “real” videos that are funny or cute and it just makes me want to put her in a home. She’s also a shit human outside of that, so don’t judge me for wanting to put her in a home for not recognizing AI.
Those tips will help me in the future. I would like to say I’m not an idiot and maybe it’s how I see things vs others. Something I find interesting anyway, like I can’t visualise anything in my minds eye and find it shocking people can picture say a red apple.
I did judge you for you mum comment, but if she’s a horrible person perhaps make some distance between you two if possible. I’ve come to realise most my family have horrible views and it sucks.
It does suck. Realizing that as a child she indoctrinated me to the right wing. Manipulated me into seeing the world as she does. It took me far longer than I’d care to admit to see what happened and realize that those ideas are sick and horrifying. And now seeing how she’s so easily tricked by AI, it starts to make sense. She’s just stupid and easily tricked into believing falsehoods.
As someone with a shitty past but I would say shittier due to parents being shit rather than hostile like yours seem.
I’m come to accept that my parents made mistake and as the eldest those mistakes have shaped who I am, the good and the awful lot of bad. And I realise that they did the best they could as they came from shitty backgrounds too and didn’t have the ability to break the cycle. I decided not to have kids as I am breaking that cycle.
I guess I’m saying perhaps you mom went through a similar background and although it doesn’t excuse it, it explains it more for your peace of mind than hers though.
Edit: for context. I saw my dad beat my mum for years. When that stopped I saw my mum beat my dad and worse bully him. Other things like she had me kick down doors looking for my dad and generally was a warzone we grew up in.
That sounds familiar. After coming to some realizations on my own, I now know my dad had ADHD like me and my son, as did my grandpa. At that time ADHD wasn’t really understood so I could understand how a relationship within that context would be difficult. My own relationships have struggled for the same reasons because despite my elementary teachers suggesting I get tested, she refused. 40 years of not knowing what was wrong with me, fucked me up bad, all because she’d be embarrassed of having the kid with a disorder. My mother, however doesn’t have the excuse of mental health, she’s just flat out evil. Everything that ever went wrong was someone else’s fault, usually mine, because I was there. Nobody else was, because she didn’t have any close friends, for a reason.
I love my son more than anything, and it hurts knowing what’s in store for his future but at least he’s got some help in understanding his condition, and meds and therapy for it. But the future is only going to get worse. And that potentially civilization ending sun spot is the best I can hope for, to at least level the playing field for him. Otherwise his future is just unbridled capitalism and fascism. It hurts like a MFer to know that.
Edit: that last part is basically saying “you’re lucky you don’t have kids, they’re great, but it hurts”
