When I was in my early 20s I was near tears in my doctors office telling her that the health issues I was dealing with were ruining my quality of life and that I was so exhausted and in so much pain all the time that all I could do was go to work and come home and go straight to bed and had been like that for months. I was near suicidal and extremely depressed. She said "stop being dramatic, you could have cancer".

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, while perspective is important, this just using people suffering from cancer as bat to stop a slight annoyance.

I have found that in the most cases it is far, far better to simply let the person cry their frustrations out, allowing the built up emotions a safe outlet, then when they have calmed down, start focusing on even the slightest positivity they can work with, after that you can start adding humor to the situation and in that you can add perspective.

I got kicked out of my in-laws for yelling at my spouse s sister for saying this.

My response was "What the fuck did you just say to her? Other people have it much BETTER than you do so why the fuck are you acting so fucking happy? That's how fucking stupid you sound."

For context, she had spent the entire 7 hours she had been awake sitting in a hot tub drinking wine and tequila instead of being a parent, and basically dumped all the responsibilities for the children of the day onto the only othertwo adults present, one of whom was having a panic attack. I was les than happy when I showed up after work to pick my spouse up and walked into chaos and her sobbingand hyperventilating in the bathroom.

My In laws are terrible people.

If life gives you lemons, buy melons.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

If life gives you melons, you may be dyslexic.

My mother has somehow never held down an actual full time job, but has a house.

I have routinely worked 60, 80, 100 hour weeks much of my life. I sleep on the floor in a studio apartment.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 29 points 3 weeks ago

Jesus christ, can't a woman even make a scathing critique of the failures of American capitalism without some guy talking about the size of her melons?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 3 weeks ago

Nice melon.

[–] DrCake@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A whole melon? In this economy?

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Lotta educated and unemployed people walking around, I wonder what they might get up to if the price of food and fuel goes up much more?

[–] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Gen z in America is hard mode on life, for sure.

Maybe not compared to India or Asia but still hard, from a western point of view.

Also because growing up on social media made you compare with others all day long, and you realized you dont have the same options as the previous generation in your country.

Its because we are moving towards an economy now where humans will work for Ai in exchange for basic income. For that to happen, you cant have too many people who can opt out, so you need a poor population.

I hope at some point, Americans realize whats happening and starts getting rid of data centers and flock cameras and whatever else they are putting up to make this happen.

Or engage in politics if you believe that will help. There will be a lot of discussions and decisions about these data centers being built. They need a lot of them.
