  • I just want to have the “proof” that they care

    Well, you know, your life and situation is more complicated than what you can describe in a text-based chat forum. If they’re like most parents, they do dozens of things every day that make sense only because they love you. You’re just used to them. Not to mention all the things they’ve done for you that you don’t even remember.

    All of this is why I suggested in another message to get professional help. Because nobody here can know what you need and what your situation actually is.


  • But if I mention suicidal feelings, oh shit that is like nuclear war.

    Yeah, even if not helpful for you probably, that’s a pretty normal parent response to a threat like that. I’m not being sarcastic here. It’s not an indication that they don’t love or value you, rather the exact opposite.

    My personal recommendation to you is that you should be very careful what anonymous people in the internet tell you when the context is this important. Some people just don’t give a shit about the well-being of anyone and will actively try to make things worse for you.

    Get professional help.




  • Sounds like a great idea, and in fact if AI proceeds as it looks to be proceeding, Basic Income will be the only thing that keeps society from totally collapsing.

    The tricky part is trying to figure out how much it should be. If such a thing would be implemented like totally in a society, it would probably have a huge economical impact. And as far as I can tell, nobody has any idea what that impact would be. Who knows, perhaps it’ll be completely nullified by prices rising exactly as much as the UBI is.
