  • The ability to tell stupid lies and not be stopped is a display of dominance. It’s showing that you have no control over these people to make them tell the truth or do anything else that you want them to do, because they are in control and not you.

    Whining about him doing it while letting him do it simply reinforces that point; he still gets to do what he wants, we still get to listen to him do it, and that’s not changing any time soon.




  • Lying to your face and abusing you is a dominance display. These people are dominant, and we are going to suck it up and do our jobs and support them in the lives they choose. We will be given scraps and told it’s our fault, which it is because it’s so much easier to scrape along in our lanes than try to change anything for the better and be punished for it by the ones who don’t have to follow any rules.





  • Sometimes if it’s really bad and I’m on day 3 of a song and it has gotten annoying I’ll have to intentionally corrupt the hook that keeps retriggering in my head. It’s usually one or two notes that keep springing in and then the rest of the song triggers and starts flowing. When I catch the trigger in my head I grab it and intentionally start imagining that little hooky snip, not the whole song but just two or three annoying notes of it, and loop them until there’s another association leading me out of the trigger other than simply leaping back into the song again.

    I say to music brain this is you this is what you sound like, and music brain gets grumpy so I finally get some peace.
