you'd think that the website of a company that sells products would show you the products but sometimes this isn't the case. i went through the entire squishables catalog a few months ago, and now every so often i check their new items and see one or two new things and then i check their retiring plushies list and it's chock full of things i've never seen before. "we're retiring our mosasaurus" literally since when have you had one of those
jokes about gamers are very funny of course but i have actually been discriminated against for being a gamer
people keep saying i clearly have adhd but the one time i managed to jump through enough hoops to actually get tested for it, they only gave me the test known to throw a lot of false negatives in gamers, and wouldn't you know, the test said that i (a gamer) don't have adhd.

I think that your father is stupid and also that everyone trying to say you’re in the wrong for being frustrated (understatement) is also, stupid
as a point of clarity, my father was an extremely cool person. but you're right about my biodad, and i appreciate your saying so. he's so lost in the paternalism sauce that he can't see past it. i get why people wanted to go "sometimes things are not paternalism" but i don't think that an "i'm upset about paternalism directed at me" post is the appropriate place to be saying things like that. and quite frankly some of the responses to that post were pretty paternalistic in and of themselves if i'm being honest.
The other day I went to the dentist and they said "surprise due to Problems we're doing no notice wisdom tooth removal on local anesthetic" and having already read your post about the experience was helpful in making this not nearly as unpleasant as it might have been.
i forgot to answer this when i first got it but i wanted to say, thank you for letting me know. this is basically my ultimate goal in talking about this sort of thing. i'm glad it's working.
anyway all that is to say i'm sorry for pitching a public fit but also i was literally right and the people going um akshully were being jerks
it's like that post about respecting someone as a person versus respecting someone as an authority figure. you understand
my bioparents talked a lot about "maturity", and like a lot of people, by "mature" and "immature" they meant "willing to do what i say" and "not willing to do what i say" respectively. it was a measure of approval or disapproval rather than anything more broadly meaningful. "mature" for shutting up and following orders. "immature" for asking why they wanted me to do something. and so on.
i am aware that maturity is a thing, that there is wisdom that comes with age, that age often correlates with having more experiences and knowledge and that people often call this maturity. i've experienced my brain starting to work better as i've gotten older. i'm not claiming that age does nothing.
but age has nothing to do with why i was willing to speak to my biodad after almost a decade. maturity has nothing to do with it. i found one crucial piece of information that changed the way my entire life history looked, and because of this i'm willing to do things i previously wasn't. but my biodad's first reaction, despite knowing that i'd changed my mind based on specific new information, was to approve of the fact that i was doing what he wanted by crediting my "maturity". we'd barely exchanged a few words and he was already trying to drag me back into a world where his definitions matter and my experiences don't.
calling me "mature" was not a compliment. it was an attempt to reestablish control over me. what he meant was "of course you changed your mind when you realized that i'd been right the whole time and you'd been nothing but a stupid child." would you want to take that as a compliment?
and then i made a vent post about this, and a bunch of people decided to get on my ass about how um actually maturity is a real thing and you're stupid for saying it's not.
everyone should be fucking grateful that i didnt start shit
i know you think im a broken human being that youre deigning to express feelings of ownership over but you could at least pretend to actually care about my own feelings for five minutes
cant you just take it as a good thing. cant we just look at this new information together and take it as a win for truthseeking and our potential ability to repair our relationship instead of proof that you were right and i was a stupid idiot child that you were justified in trying to imprison
ive been kind and polite and good and now im done with that and i want to hunt people for sport if they say something i dont like
it's the sequel to "look who finally left their room and joined us" lol
everyone knows that maturity is when you do what i want you to and immaturity is when you don't do what i want you to. jesus fucking christ
"are you maybe triggered because you had to spend all day in a room with your bioparents" YES. HOW DO I MAKE PEOPLE STOP BEING ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH THAT POST
come say this shit to me in person ill fucking destroy you
and i dont think it's stupid to think i could have been this mature about it 5 years ago because ive spent all this time trying to find some sort of reason or explanation that wasnt just "my bioparents became cruel to me out of literally nowhere" and no one was able to offer me anything other than "they were trying their best" which means absolutely nothing actually but i STILL KEPT LOOKING
