help-circle


  • Watching their partner have sex with someone else sometimes sparked what they called “classic little jealousy issues,” which Adams said they resolved with “more communication, more growing up.” The money was just too good. And over time, they adopted a self-affirming ideology that framed everything as just business.

    i swear this is the exact plot of “Boogie Nights”. i wish these young entrepreneurs all the best, but the movie didn’t exactly have a happy ending.





  • back when i was younger and had the energy and focus to do so, i would engage with my father (whom holds unreasonable opinions such as you are up against with your family).

    often, i would catch him making a point which directly contradicted an earlier point of his. i would then circle back to the earlier point and connect the two, breaking both of his arguments and hopefully forcing a concession.

    but somehow he was able to blind himself to self-contradiction. it was infuriating.

    the moral here is that i do not think it is possible to change anyone’s mind, even if you are clear and rational and your point is water-tight.

    your love for and enjoyment of them must be independent of political and religious differences. good luck!
