Oh man, lots. Ada, Kolanki, WorldsDumbestMan, SatansMaggottyCumFart, Neidu, LadyButterfly, CaptainLezbian, CptAggravated, that one guy with the Chinese symbols whose mom is a piece of work, Stamets when he's posting, Sunshine, Blaze, DistantSounds, Sodalite - the list goes on and on.

I may spend too much time here, lol.

I use voyager and don’t see display names, but I’m willing to bet the person with a Chinese display name and shitty parents is @DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works

Clearly I also spend too much time on here lol

xD

Since I got summoned by a @ , gonna infodump cuz why not lol:

Funny enough now that my mom went to China for a 1-month visit, and now it's like 1 week in and I feel so sad about her absense from home...

The house feels so much more depressing... :/

I mean I guess this is a sort of "trial run" of what her eventual death would feel like...

Like... now I can call her... cuz now its just separated by an ocean, in this era, we have instantaneous communications...

someday it'll be separated by a barrier between the mortal realm and... whatever world beyond... the afterlife... spirit realm... or whatever...

I guess this is what my mom meant when she said she wanted to get married give birth to children... this same emptiness that I'm feeling...

I might never find love in life :(

Funny enough my older brother is also in China right now because mom pressured him to do marriage 🤣

(My parents are arranged marriage btw)

oof, that's a bad hit buddy. love is one of those things where the more intention you put into looking for it the harder it is to find, other than arranged marriage. honestly if you're that worried about it though, have you considered going that route?

also crazy you're missing your mom that bad despite her abuse but I definitely get it. i was living with my dad for a while and he was moving out and I was staying and I couldn't fucking wait for him to be gone up until the moment he was leaving I started crying really bad... did not understand those emotions at all but I often don't.

hang in there ❤️

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago

Oh remember you too, but idk what to do about your issues :/

I have minimum good advice besides patience is a virtue.

Yep, that'd be them! Always forget your display name and user id can be different (know there's someone who uses this to hilarious [to giant nerds like me] effect by having it be [x]@threads.com or something)

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Oh hey I'm being recognized. I definitely spend too much time here. Also my teachers may have been right when I was growing up, I really don't know how to shut up.

For what it's worth, the recognition is "they seem to have a good head on their shoulders"

[–] Soulg@ani.social 3 points 14 hours ago

I also recognize a lot of those, damn lol
