I’m thinking you probably have to fight them first. The system seems to be shitty that way. But if you can’t finish them, it might offer the companion option.

That said, most of the cat owners probably didn’t make it.

I’m listening to it now. Just heard the description of the universal system takeover. What do you think happened to family dogs? Automatic beast companions? Or Fido just tries to eat you?

It still gives me chills remembering the Riders had been singing while they fought, but after Théoden died they stopped singing and started chanting “Death!” It’s the turn…

So you sent me down a Reddit rabbit hole. It started out fine… But there was a turn… there is always a turn….

lol, enough to cause a family argument. But I grew up calling this chocolate cake.

Dare you to go touch the outside of your front door.

Actually, my understanding is that the “micro” refers to the level of clarity of the aggression. The issue with microaggressions is that the target has difficulty telling if the aggression is just in their head. This lack of clarity causes mental discomfort and fatigue as folks ruminate on it.

Like, its hella funny how that works. Cause, like the young people connotation that like continues even though the actual young people who like really use the word, are like in their 40s now… (15 year old me is smiling 😁)

All this to say, we [therapists] sacrifice a lot to do this work. I wonder if we talk enough about our working conditions and whether we should demand better from the systems that need us to function and our colleagues who are empowered within them.

What are your thoughts?
