Your praise our education too much. We’re floundering and can very easily head towards collapse. It’s an uphill struggle even here, despite Europe seeming a grounded voice of reason for the most part.

One could assume they’re slathered in oil to protest the fossil industry, but that would be an assumption.

It was explained that in mirrors, we see ourselves directly and distort our self perception based on our state of mind (beautify or uglify).

Cameras on the other hand don’t give a shit and show more or less what it is objectively… Unless its user fucks it up in some way.

Shut up Debbie! Nobody likes your name!

Half of those are jabs at management, the other half are reasonable experiments.

Tsk, tsk. As an adult, you’ll have the common sense of asking yourself a couple of questions before buying an ice cream cake. Such as “Will I ever recover financially from this?” or “Can I stop myself from eating it all in one go and suffering a tummy ache?”

As an adult, you manage your spending responsibly.

Elon Musk successfully did the thing. Donald Trump also successfully did the thing. And several others like them successfully did the thing.

Does being successful at a thing make you a role model? … Not really.

Success or failure matter less than what you learn from it. And I think most of us would agree that the above examples learned the wrong fucking things.

Yeah, when you see someone on a regular basis and inadvertently get to see their habits, them doing something outside the usual discombobulates you and has you react unnaturally. For some people, that has them default to a tease. Repeat it enough times and that in itself becomes a habit and a form of connection between like “it’s something we do”. Of course, it’s a one-sided feeling that can happen for both parties at the same time, because it is a form of social connection we tend to default to.

I’d say you ought to talk it out and try to make different habits together to replace the ones that might make one or the other uncomfortable. However, the tone should initially be conciliatory as the mind can go through a lot of hoops when it comes to sensitive topics and we can get defensive when it comes to personality.
