Btw it's very easy to tell when others are using 48 laws of power ass tactics on you. This girl kept unnecessarily saying my name when we were talking and I mean she just kept saying it.
So I started doing it back. "Okay Chelley is there anything else i can assist you with Chelley? Perfect Chelley when we meet again let's discuss xyz. How does that sound, Chelley? Your name rhymes with wthelly, Chelley."
She never overly used my name again.
That’s why there’s a whole lot of insecure adults. They weren’t given basic respect as kids. Kids are one of the most oppressed people and everyone just calls them annoying.

"In the end, marriage is not disappearing, it is becoming concentrated amongst the successful. It becomes almost like an aristocratic custom; rare, elite, stable, high-investment and deeply stratified. A marker of competence rather than a rite of passage. For everyone else the pattern is fluid relationships, low stability, weak pair-bonding and falling fertility. Marriage survives, but only among the successful."

The most helpful people in my career have by far been middle aged guys with younger daughters.
All they want is a better future for their girls and they know that empowering the next generation of women does that.
It’s the best.
The world is full of people who lack agency in their life and therefore feel compelled to make every interaction their last stand against the Infringement
my grandpa once told me "do not tell anyone your business unless it benefits you that they know" as a yapper, i took that advice and never looked back. best thing i ever heard
