One of my friends is a piano tuner. Her dream, or at least her parents' dream, was to be a concert pianist. Turns out she liked messing with the mechanisms more than she liked memorizing songs. It also turns out that "decent piano tuner" pays a lot more than "failed concert pianist," which helped convince her parents as well.

In the same way, I don't think there's any shame in being a race car driver's mechanic. Racing is a team effort. Everyone on that team has to contribute as best they can. From the crew chief who remembers things like "what weekend the race is on," to the intern who puts air in the tires of the car-hauling trailer, they can all share in a victory.

Thing is, the media likes a hero. It's hard to do a story about a whole bunch of people doing their job properly. Not much drama in it. They think we want to see a radical, a loner, a real protagonist. Even the TV news likes to ensure the happenings of the world are conveyed to you entirely by a cabal of all-knowing, handsome talking heads. More heroes, selling you the story of other heroes.

Those people don't really exist, and when they do, they're kind of unpleasant because they won't help you with your shit. Race cars need mechanics; concert pianists need tuners; everyone needs somebody.

That's why I've decided to more flagrantly violate the traffic laws. It's only by stretching these laws to their maximum that the lawmakers will truly appreciate the hard work of the dedicated civil servants who anticipated things like not letting me pull my Volare with a bunch of sled dogs. And if I do manage to find something new, they will all get a great opportunity to come together as a team and ban it. No need to thank me; just doing my part.

Why So Many People Are Going “No Contact” with Their Parents

A growing movement wants to destigmatize severing ties. Is it a much-needed corrective, or a worrisome change in family relations?

For the record: we are 100% in favor of going no contact with toxic or abusive family members. This article is a little frustrating to read.

[entrandoempanico]

it’s funny because the writer at no point questions the parents. they say, id do ANYTHING for that not to happen. would you get vaccinated? would you acknowledge the hurt you caused? would you go to therapy (and actually work on it)? because when children actually get to the point of going no contact, they usually HAVE tried a lot of stuff. they tried not mentioning touchy subjects, they tried calm conversations, they tried hiding parts of themselves as to not trigger them. but at some point you start living a half life, trying to fit into a place that ultimately does not want you, the REAL you, in it. those parents they don’t mourn the loss of the relationship with the real children they have — they miss the children that would stay quiet, that would not have opinions, that was just a prop in their lives.

in my experience, parents use this “i’d do anything” as a cop out. they say: i’d die for you. but they are not able to change for you.

i’ll be chillin and then all of a sudden i literally turn into this thing

[dxnyarya]

“sotr is mid because you already know how it ends” shut the fuck up, the point of the book is that despite knowing how it ends you would have never known what actually went down because that’s the point of propaganda, the whole book is about the power of propaganda
