The story sounds healthy enough. I'm mostly critical of the role of the actual parents. I may be over reaching here, but it sounds like the writer ended up taking up a responsibility that should have been taken by the parents in the first place. However, the situation sounds healthy enough and parentification has positive sides too!
The big point of parentification is that it is forced on the child by their parents. The role of sub-parent to siblings is assigned via negative means. This is often in punishment for not performing that role. This can manifest as verbal and mental abuse, such as guilt tripping, neglect where the parent doesn't do what is needed until the parentifide child does it out of necessity, and can go as far as full blown violence.
This reads more like the OP saw that their sister was in desperate need of help, and decided to take it upon themselves to do whatever they can to help her.
NEET is is an economic label that means Not in Employment Education or Training. Its the group often looked down on as leeches in society but the term doesn't consider the reasons or health of the person.
The sister in the post appears much more like the Japanese shutins or hikikomori who isolate themselves from all social contact. Technically being a hikikomori is a choice but mental health and big pressure culture probably dont help.
im still trying to figure out why people hate the fact that people leech off of shit.
Like unless we're going turbo functionalist society where we define suicide as a normal aspect of everyday life, it seems rather. Dystopian to be claiming that everybody must be a part of society.
TIL NEET means something else. For I thought it was only an enterance test in India to get into medical education. It is super competitive and toppers are usually shut-ins, studying for 14-16 hours a day.
The exams are held in may so for kids to go in hibernation since January is common place.
Yes. As for why, why not? If you can it's probably the single best was to live life. Most jobs are entirely unfulfilling, unnecessary bullshit jobs that stack even more unfulfilling, unnecessary bullshit on top of it. the important work is, like, maybe a tenth of all actual work done and that's still usually done by people who get treated like shit, sucking out whatever meaning they might be able to find.
Education is good, but left to their own devices most humans will educate themselves to some degree, so it's not like NEET necessarily means a lack of self improvement either. Not that that's the only measure of a good life.
And that's before taking into account mental health issues that our society creates.
i think it's more of a situational thing. I.E. used to shit on people who aren't "part of the work force" although now it's been codified into a bit of slang, since it's technically an acronym now.
Normally it's used to indicate a lifestyle which probably has an underlying mental health component. But the girl in this story is just really really autistic. IDK why the OP didn't describe her as such once.
How do you know she's autistic? Maybe she's depressed, experiences severe social anxiety, or something else of that nature. I see no reason to jump to autism as the explanation, there just isn't enough context.
I guess it's expensive in the US ? I may have upper middle class brain rot because of my parents, but to me it's basically the baseline for decent industrial chocolate.
Lindt is pretty good as packaged chocolate goes. You can always find some fancy artisanal chocolatier if you can afford to spend a few bucks per chocolate but for a HS student Lindt is pretty high tier.
Premium, I definitely agree. But luxury is pushing it imo, given the prices and ingredients used. Imo luxury chocolate is either artisanal and/or has extremely high quality standards (e.g having as little stuff that is not pure cocoa and sugar as possible in its ingredients), and thus even more expensive than Lindt.
As I already said in another comment, this is a eurocentric point of view. When I lived in Canada I didn't buy Lindt because they were almost twice as expensive as what I was used to.
Lindt is positioned as a premium supermarket brand in some places where it is usually a little better and more expensive than the default brand eg Cadbury. For many people it would be seen as a bit of a treat over their regular supermarket brand. Some markets have more appreciation and better access to good chocolate than others but it is a relative thing.
considering that coax and fiber optic are two different things, probably not, but judging by the fact that the fiber box is outside, it's probably run inside using coax, and that is a rather astute observation.
