I'm conflicted. I have a parent who's dying. I feel the void of the parenting I was supposed to receive. They never fulfilled any of the obligations I consider appropriate. I'm a parent, now. They did none of the things I'm doing for my kids....
Oh, wow. That's amazing. My parent isn't as bad in severity as his mother, but there are a loooooot of commonalities. Wow. It also made me think about my 2nd parent and how they didn't stand up for me as much as they should have. Wow. I'm gonna chew on this and watch it again.
You sound like the person in the video that was linked in another reply.

I highly recommend this video, it’s by a therapist who went through a similar thing and he breaks it down very well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zcRUj8H3rc4
One is the permanent loss of any possibility of receiving the parental love that every child deserves.
The second is the actual human being that was your parent.
I think it's the former. I grieved the parental relationship several years ago when I realized it would never change.
Why do you think you should feel bad for them passing?
Because that's what's typical. People typically grieve the passing of their parents.
Because I'm hard wired that way. I want/love/crave family at a base level. I had kids because I love having a family. I'm a family person. I know, intellectually, that my parent is garbage, but I am emotional as well.
When I say they're overrated, I mean I don't understand why they're so popular. They're not bad but they're not that good, either. I don't understand the praise lauded on them. It's too much relative to their quality.
I can understand if someone loves them in their time. For example, Nirvana was absolutely amazing in their time. However, it's been 30 years and that sound is a lot more mainstream, but in their day, they were breaking new ground.
But my kids age? Why do people think they're that good?
I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It's such a small specific thing, one I'd never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now....
There are a lot of tanky posts coming from lemmy.ml. Their whole purpose seems to be to troll and spread their bullshit far and wide. They are nearly as bad as the alt-right. They argue in bad faith and celebrate authoritarian oppression. The beehaw mods might want to consider defederating.

So me and my dad were talking about pressure canning and how it's very uncommon. I've never talked to anyone irl that pressure cans, maybe some water bath canning but that's it. I wonder why it's so uncommon? You can get a pressure canner for less than 150$ and it's incredibly useful....
It's not really necessary in modern society. I do canning and other preservation hobbies. It's easier to buy it. Unless you're really interested in customizing your food, which is why I do it, it's easier to buy it.

So, I've got a weird question. Anyone had a club faction split? Our club is sponsored by a brewery owner.

Are you cherry picking the good games out of older libraries? I find people do that a lot when remembering. It's a survivorship bias thing. The good ones get remembered more and the bad one forgotten, so they seem like the population is better.
Yeah, you remember that futurama episode where the giant amazon women try to snu snu the guys? That awakened something. Here on Lemmy it's called !fitmoe.
I'm always surprised when it happens. 99% of the time I'm just tolerated, but every once in a while someone asks. Happened last night. I was sooooooooo happy.
