i love love love hearing non-comic ppl talk about superheroes. it’s so fascinating from an outside perspective like these are just guys that they occasionally see on the big screen. the decades worth of prior history that these characters have had just do not exist to them. meanwhile i am neck deep in obscure lore and having prophetic dreams that do not come to pass. we are leading two very different lives.

Actually, because I'm still riled up about this:
If you tell your kid to change their behavior, without having a conversation as to how, here's a few problems you might encounter:
- their change in behavior changes their daily routine, and you take issue with this/comment on it/etc, leaving them feeling like trying to fix the issue only made it worse and/or you're just a tyrant who's never happy with anything.
- they start avoiding all conflict with you by hiding what they're doing or avoiding you--the problem, in their mind, has shifted from 'how to be better at X' to 'how to not have my parent be unhappy with me, because that makes me feel awful' (this trend may well continue into adulthood, btw. Not great for any future relationships!)
- they genuinely try to change, it works for a while, and then, human-manner, there's a failure point and you end up having this conversation again. You still act like you don't trust them, like they never put the work in at all, and they learn that they can't afford to fail or be human around you. They don't trust you with their struggles, and they know you don't trust them. Fun little family environment you've made here.
When I make a mistake at work, I apologize and my boss asks me what could help me do better, and what problems I've been having, and how they can help. When I hurt a friend or loved one by accident, I apologize and we hug and we talk about how to fix it.
At no point do they claim I'm not really sorry or that they won't trust me again until I've proven I can do better, because that's not how adult conversations are supposed to go. That's not how communication is supposed to go. And I'm an adult. Why is this person giving their own child less grace, less consideration, less care than I get from my boss in one of the lowest-paid departments of my workplace? It's just. I can't fathom it.

my lawyer did some research on the judge I was assigned for my disability hearing and apparently he's a 50/50 sort of judge who doesn't lean toward either granting or rejecting claims. which sounds on its face fine until you realize that by the time you make it to a hearing it's been 5+ years and you've already applied, been rejected, appealed, been rejected, like ten times
by the time cases make it to hearing 90% of them should be getting granted and those that don't get granted should be for like... technical reasons. tbqh
so if you're a disability claims judge and your rate is 50/50... You Are Evil
