  • My grandparents both lost children. It sounds weird to specify, but they were children from different marriages. They shared this coincidence. My grandmother had this sort of incident with the body; I think my grandfather only received the news. Both developed illnesses now suspected to be caused or worsened by stress: cancer and Alzheimer's. They were sad people after their losses, very sad people. I do believe it slowly killed them. Just anecdotal evidence of the damage of losing a child...

  • What commonly given advice is actually wrong or toxic?

    Jump

  • If you worry about being a narcissist, you are not one. A narcissist would never introspect like that or care.

    False. If you suspect narcissistic personality disorder, it is completely valid and you probably need to research the vulnerable side of it or the covert side of it.

    Grandiose is the one with an inflated-ego, the famous one, and the DSM-5 describes mostly the grandiose narcissist. Vulnerable is the one where you feel like a misunderstood outcast or a victim of others, maybe even like a "stupid piece of shit" (quoting Bojack Horseman) that possibly deserved your hardships in life.

    People with NPD or NPD traits can oscillate between different levels of these two presentations throughout their lives.

    Overt is when you show that in 'public' (either grandiose or vulnerable). Covert is when nobody knows or can confirm you feel this way (either grandiose or vulnerable), it's more of a secret.

    In recent years, I've met people with undiagnosed NPD later confirmed and a person with diagnosed BPD with not enough narcissistic traits for a diagnosis, but some important ones there. That's only to exemplify that it is not uncommon. I'm glad they were curious and open.

    It's crazy to think that a whole diagnostic category and clinical spectrum is in the shadows because of that myth: "you wouldn't be thinking about it". Of course you would, person receiving that "advice", you are not an idiot and I'm sure you are noticing something about yourself. You deserve to know if it's NPD or some other thing, and to get help and to feel better about your life.

  • What game has the weirdest/nicest/meanest fandom?

    Jump

  • DOTA 2 players might be the meanest. The game includes a reminder at the beginning of the match just for regular players to be nice with new players. That tells you a lot about the community (and, of course, the reminder is mostly useless). The match-accepting button gives some information and tells you the way your allies and enemies (in a single grade) normally behave, and pretty often they are in a red color that says "disruptive". It's bad. Unhinged chat and sometimes voice chat.

  • What song are you listening to RIGHT NOW, and would you recommend it?

    Jump

  • My earworm. Haggard - Chapter I: Tales of Ithiria. Yes, I recommend it, but it's not their best album. I prefer And Thou Shalt Trust the Seer or Awaking the Centuries.

  • What song are you listening to RIGHT NOW, and would you recommend it?

    Jump

  • ¿Alburero, gótico y lemming? Eres una extraña combinación.

  • what users do you recognize a lot and why

    Jump

  • Blue letters.

  • What book would you recommend to a person in their final days?

    Jump

  • I have something like this. Nothing Was the Same by K. R. Jamison is about grief and about her experience of losing a loved one. I'm saving it for the moment I lose my parents. I know I'll need her to bring some consolation and perspective because it's going to hurt.

  • Go on...

    Jump

  • On the bright side, you'd given me a perfect example to share when they ask me why I don't like 00s+ emo culture (in general), and their influence then and now in rock and metal music.

  • Argentines swap beef for donkey under Milei’s austerity

    Jump

  • I just feel bad for the ones not supporting this nonsense.

  • Argentines swap beef for donkey under Milei’s austerity

    Jump

  • I'm guessing they already eat lentils, beans, chickpeas, etc. But this is not only Milei making people poor (that sucks), it is restricting beef which Argentinians probably are very attached to because of their typical dishes.

    I get it. Reducing or eliminating beef from our diets can be great (for the majority), but this is not the way we should expect people to get to this lifestyle (against their ability to choose), so it can be a bad moment to mention the silver linings or even good advice like plant-based protein. That's my opinion; it reads detached of the problem.

  • Argentines swap beef for donkey under Milei’s austerity

    Jump

  • Northern America*, Anglo America*. But yeah, the comment was a little "oh, opportunity for diet ✨", lol.

  • If you could magically form new nations, which would you break away or unify? (non-serious)

    Jump

  • Yup, I would like to see the Californias united.

    We have three pieces nowadays. North California (Alta California, today's "California") and South California (Baja California, today broke into two). Two were already bad... Let's move into one, please.

    (But don't let the US administration get ideas).

  • If you could magically form new nations, which would you break away or unify? (non-serious)

    Jump

  • I was going to answer that Mexico as it once was, from current US southern states to Panama. Then, the northern US states, Canada, and Alaska could be their own tranquil cold lands.

    Maybe even a division by old territories and languages so that Bolivar's dream came true. From old Mexico (New Spain) to Cape Horn (or whatever the southernmost point lies). I cannot say that country would have been better than the USA (in terms of atrocities, wars, etc.), but I'm still curious.

    Also, Brazil not imposing Portuguese to their citizens. They used to speak a criolle language, if I remember correctly. If a kind Brazilian reads this, maybe they can correct and explain it.

  • Celebrity death that’s affected you the most ?

    Jump

  • Michael Jackson and Matthew Perry, because both died by overdosing on medication that was meant to help them.

    They had sad and hard periods in their life, but they both wanted to be okay and to be happy! They did everything we are told to: reach out, ask for help, follow doctors orders.

    ...It feels so unfair, they feel like lives interrupted (as many many others). So them, even though I am not a fan.

  • What unethical life hack would you recommend to others?

    Jump

  • Fake stupidity or ignorance, just a little. Otherwise, you risk getting people on their defensive sides (e.g., doctors, lawyers, architects).

  • The US in one image

    Jump

  • I mean, the number of violent childhoods (physical violence, but also psychological and of course the poverty, hunger, the stress of those situations, the neglect, etc.) in your country, plus the pederasty and pedophilia club running the government and corporations make me think children (in the second case it's mainly 'little girls') are not that important either in current years. Yes, we make fun of the "think of the children!" discourse in the U.S., but those are just words. At least from the distance, I don't think you're protecting children enough (and the same is true for a lot of countries, but that's beyond the point).

  • (Roughly) how old are you and how did you come to be on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Early 30s. API debacle.

  • Average familiarity

    Jump

  • That's me. It's like being a smart idiot.

  • What is your least favourite thing about the fediverse or lemmy?

    Jump

  • My roller skates came with a defect, after all, and I lost the momentum. Now I'm drawing. Well, no, actually, I haven't done that in a while... I think now I'm entering poetry territory. Is there a "hobbies, in general, just tell us about yours" community? We are enough for something like that.
