If I'm going to work every day to support your fat lazy adult ass while you blow money on jpgs of monkeys I'm within my rights to bust your balls about it and you're lucky I haven't thrown you out and turned your basement into a home gym

Maybe, for some definition of "rights". If doing it in public, it would still 100% make you an asshole no matter how right you were.

Agreed. It sounds like this is a family dinner at home, though. Anons family already know he's a loser.

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago

My interpretation was this was Christmas dinner, and they had extended family & friends over.

“MOM, MEATLOAF! FUCK! I never know what she’s doing up there”

Because feeding their depression is the best way to fix the problem.

If he believes it's his parents job to fix him that's about 75% of the problem right there

There's a difference between not helping and actively hurting. "Though love" is just bullshit.

[-] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works -5 points 10 months ago

Who says it's tough love? These are human beings, and they've been put in a really frustrating position. Denigrating someone who buys nfts is an appropriate response. Especially if they did it with your money.

We're arguing strawman vs strawman. I'm bailing.

[-] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works -3 points 10 months ago

I'm not strawmanning, the OPs screenshot mentions specifically that they were criticizing him for buying NFTs and not having a job

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Honestly, I saw video game coins and though it was some ingame currency. Also, these types might overhear you talking about crypto/ntf and just assume you've bought into it.

Regardless, they aren't making these jokes for anyone's benefit but their own. Remove the ntf thing, and this greentext is just anxiety inducing for a lot of introverts.

I agree. I feel they're venting their frustration with a position that anon put them in.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

These people smile when they say these things. They're just happy someone has it worse off then them. It's why people watch trash reality tv.

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

That's what being a parent is about though.

[-] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works -3 points 10 months ago

Supporting your children well into adulthood and solving mental issues you're not qualified to address is a parents job?

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
