I am elder Millennial, and that’s not what I learned in college. I also have worked primarily with colleges and universities for the past 12 years, and I can tell you that’s not what they “teach.” If you enroll in college for a computer science BS, the content of your curriculum is not going to be about your feelings…

My mom wakes up at 5am and, yeah, she goes to bed at 9pm each night. For her, it was necessary when she had young kids and a long commute, and after 18 years of it, her body just wakes up at 5am now. She doesn’t set an alarm and she always complains that she wishes she could sleep in some days, but it’s no longer a…

In this reality there are many people talking publicly right now about how they consider Hill’s actions to be manipulative and controlling. If he wasn’t okay with what she did for work, he could have exited the relationship as opposed to bullying her about it. That is why it’s manipulative lol

People who have escaped bad situations sharing their stories helps others recognize their situation is bad and get the courage to leave.

It’s pure semantics to couch it as a boundary for oneself in response to some external stimuli, rather than a line the other person must not cross lest there be consequences—the effect is the same: person 1 communicates to person 2 a set of conditions that, if met, will result in certain consequences (which will be…

But that’s not at all what he said. He told her that if she wanted to continue to do certain things “I am not the partner for you.” Meaning it still put it on her whether the relationship continued. Which is manipulative. Everything he said and did sought to absolve himself of any accountability for any of what he was…

“No your boundaries are not just about you and your behavior. Idk who in the world thought that is the reality, but in the real world boundaries involve everyone in the relationship.”

Celebrities seem happy to pay either a lot of money regardless of the results.

Similar to the Lin Manuel Miranda issue, using a composer with a very distinctive style for more than one movie starts to have a lot of diminishing returns in terms of fresh and different a soundtrack is. They should have been happy with the Tarzan soundtrack and given someone else a go.

I’m aware of this. The music in Moana and Encanto sounds very similar. These movies also each have a torch song, like “Let It Go,” which would be “How Far I’ll Go” and “Waiting on a Miracle,” respectively. That first sentence in my post relates two different reasons the movies sound the same — a composer whose style…

“He said what he wanted and told her to take it or leave it.”

And it’s nuts because, as a psychiatrist, he knows that he could go ahead and do all this stuff with no issue by simply calling it “self-help coach.” But he doesn’t.

What’s unfortunate is that Hill’s stated reason for making the documentary (to share the therapy tools he finds amazing with those who may not have access to therapy) is admirable and the tools listed in the doc are solid, but the total lack of boundaries in their relationship and with the documentary just makes the…

Anyone who watched the documentary Hill made about his therapist and his relationship with his therapist could have clocked this. That documentary is a big mess of boundaries. His therapist and him tell each other they love each other. He invites a documentary crew he’s directing into his therapy sessions. He explores…

The other thing I’ll give him: he was excellent at PR spectacle. Melting down the cannons of your enemies and using the metal to forge your victory monument. That’s a powerful message.

Shaming someone for their behavior and accusing them of having “inappropriate, boundary-less relationships” with others, and making them feel guilty about what they do as a normal part of their job is entirely emotional abuse. It’s all “I could find you lovable and wouldn’t be hurt if you weren’t such a slut in my eyes…

Boundaries in a relationship are literally put in place so you know where one person begins and the other ends. It is about your own behavior and explaining what you will and will not do with/for/about the other person, not controlling their behavior. You can’t expect to control someone else’s behavior, that is…

Similarly, with Lin Manuel Miranda doing all the music and every movie needing its own “Let It Go,” they’ve started to all sound the same, too. Makes me miss the days of Brother Bear where they’d take risks even if they didn’t pay off.

“What’s more fluid than gender? Age.”

At least it wasn’t a live bat? I don’t feel like this behavior is new but it continues to be shitty.
