Railroad spikes that fire a gun

I feel like i was reading that cornflower by weight is like way more expensive than actual black tea. In that light, its kind of amusing that the more expensive thing is used as filler

Almost rose-colored glasses

Nah Twinings is pretty reasonable on price and quantity

I always saw Twinings as like the Acme of Tea. They just make decent versions of everything

Its like the Apple of tea companies

I’ve come to love the process/journey , its most becoming

Plus multiple cats

ULTRALORD!

I would be honored if you did a reply to my new “ease your enemy unto destruction” post in a similiear spirit to this

Its 2 luxe for u

Isnt Bluesky like duplicative of what the Feddy is going for?

Its hell to fuck with the Mouse

Its so good. I’ll do ya one better: AC blasting full volume while under 4 layers of blankets at bedtime + 1…3 cats

Literally

Actually love this

In many cases, I think you need to figure out what (sources) is making you angry and trying to alter or remove that influence such that you are insulated from it. Anger should be listened to altho not necessarily the last word or sole authority on anything.

Anger is meant to protect you from being further harmed or taken advatnage of. It pays to consider what it is telling you and use it as a compass as well as an anti-compass in terms of who you should be involved with and who is problematic for your well-being

You gotta get yourself insulated to thr point that any further incursion is basically the perpetrator or associate stabbing themself in the own dick. You gotta get that shit happening on their dollar and time, not yours. Thats the only way it ever stops

Its all about easing them into consequences and you being insulated from it. Always insulate, help/force them off the boat into the sinking lifeboat with sharks at the ready to ease them into their destruction and elimination while you delicately whisper reassuring words into their hearts while ushering their transition home or wherever they belong (the place you take the liberty of determining in their stead for them).

Its a decision only you can be trusted to make for them but in time they will come to adjust to their new reality you’re helping shoehorn them into

Who is that

Nothing you can do but go no contact (0%). He needs a time out and to reevaluate. You must be ok with whatever outcome that lays ahead since you cant control others, you can only set a boundary that says you won’t be discussing this or tolerating anybody who continues to revisit it.

They won’t like having control (control of You) wrestled away, particularly if they’re accustomed to that, so it might take them a while to adjust their behavior but it is necessary to resolve that dynamic. Make it clear that there will be no money talk or transactions flowing between you and if it comes up again, you will be taking a break for a month and then everyone can circle back and try again at that time.

If it happens again after you’ve had to enforce a month timeout, you have to decide if you want to do escalating consequences or if you want to start a full and longer-term no contact regime where they are completely blocked and unable to communicate with you any longer

If its escalating consequences, start at a lower threshold like say a week, any violations that happen after they’ve been welcomed back, adds to that or doubles it. I suggest doubling so

1. 1 week
2. 2 weeks
3. 4 weeks/month

If they refuse to respect it after that I would consider strongly making it permanent. They are adults and that is literally an extended tantrum they are and continue to throw to your detriment and without seemingly intelectually recognizing that they are not going to win this or beat you into submission somehow. Do not depend on them for anything or give them any bargaining chips. Once you impose a consequence, do not falter or they will sense weakness and persist or get worse.

You’re not helping her, right? She would just find a way to make you miserable with it anyway. People like that don’t help anyone but themself and even when they get their needs met themself or you, that doesn’t satisfy the desire to control and dominate you even still.
