  • I give this a 50/50 being sea lioning. The reason being I thought this way when I was younger. I'm white and didn't understand why everything was so focused on race until I was an adult. I don't care about race that much, but everyone around me did and I thought it was weird. Once I was older and educated, I understood that it's FAR more complex than my kiddo brain could handle without some education.

  • I wonder where this movement started where people overly obsess about this. Can’t we already just treat people for who they are/their personality and not judge them by their skin color and also not prefer some ethnicities over others?

    I'm gonna guess you're white. There are many reasons why people make race their identity. One of them is because OTHER people make it their identity. If you're just a normal person walking down the street, but other people only reduce you to "black person" or "asian person" or "gay person" or whatever then there's something in our nature that takes that on and reframes it into a positive, a strength. Most of the "something person" people I know didn't start caring about that, but other people reinforced it SOOOOOO much. Additionally, when your category is legislated at the government level, then you can't help but assume it's a main part of your identity. To the government and society, you ARE that person. When you need permission from the government just to exist, it is defining.

  • I really enjoy Making It and am a patreon subscriber. It's Jimmy Diresta, Bob "I Like to Make Stuff" Clagett, and David Picutto (FKA The Drunken Woodworker). They talk about being makers, being on youtube, being middle aged, etc. Ep 469 just came out, so it's got some staying power.

  • How can I let go of the anger and sadness towards my father?

    Jump

  • Why would you want to fix it if he constantly pushes your boundaries purposely?

    I'm not OP, but I have similar issues. I ask myself this CONSTANTLY. There's a part of me that is a hole that a proper, good father could fill. Obviously, I don't have that and he never will, but I still crave it. Imagine being hungry and there's the best food on the other side of the window and you can never have any. You're still hungry and there's a part of you that is pressing against that window, even though another part of you knows you can't get into the store.

  • How can I let go of the anger and sadness towards my father?

    Jump

  • One of the pivotal moments for me was on my wedding day. I didn’t receive any message from him—not even a simple acknowledgment. I had hoped to hear from him, and his silence cut deeply, making me realize how distant we had become.

    One year, my father said he didn't think he could visit. I have his only grandkids. He's retired and rich. He has connections to get cheap travel. He takes multiple out-of-country trips a year (that I've never been on). There is literally no reasonable explanation why he can't visit in a year and plenty of typical reasons for him to do so. I haven't talked to him in more than 5 years.

    My anger/sadness dulls with time, but never goes away. I constantly have to remind myself that the father I want doesn't exist and never did. It has gotten easier with time, but it's still a scar. Just like a real scar, it gets angry from time to time, but it's not as bad as when I first got it.

    It's taught me a lot of lessons. It taught me not to be like him. My mom once asked my wife "where did he learn to play with the kids like that? His father never did that." When my wife told me that, I couldn't explain it, either. I just treat my kids like I wanted to be treated when I was a kid.

    I've gone to therapy and it helps. Maybe I should go back. As my kids grow, I'm learning new ways in which he failed me and our family. I never knew what I was missing, but now that I have to provide that for my kids, I see what he did wrong. Every year it's something new. I imagine it'll be that way until I die.

    So, I'm sorry, but I don't think it ever disappears (as you can tell by the energy I'm typing with). I think it fades. Take from it the lessons that you can. Don't let the pain be fruitless. Acknowledge it, use it as guidance, "I know what not to do."

  • If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?

    Jump

  • Series? More macross/robotech that makes sense. Macross Plus is the best for many reasons, but mostly because of the coherent plot. Give me awesome mecha, itano circus missile flights, and a plot that's not fucking stupid. (I can't stand robotech's plot, and macross is barely tolerable.)

    Game? Master of Magic 2 that doesn't suck. I've seen 2 or 3 spiritual successors but they've failed in execution. Keep it simple. Update the original and add a touch of something. Don't reinvent it.

    Movie? District 9 sequel. I don't know how they'd do it but the movie was so good I want more.
