It pisses me off that I'm spending all day doing whatever the fuck that it is that I do, instead of whatever the fuck this is. Re evaluating.

unrestrained summer fun

lowkey don't fw people who de-escalate. Certain situations always have to reach a higher pitch of mania before they can effectively get solved. De-escalation has always seemed a copout because it just turns things down to a simmer, never off all the way. Even when it might look off on paper. Which was why when my family had disputes my job was to aggravate the argument like a bait dog until someone fired a gun into the wall multiple times and then broke down sobbing hysterically and everyone held each other. There. Emotional gunk's all cleaned out now. No more aggro for another few months at least. Everyone could learn a thing or two from ol' me and my particular brand of crisis counseling. I watched a cousin try to de-escalate once. All it did was make sure people were hitting each other with chairs at a guy's Shinto wedding a week later. Tooootal bullshit. De-escalation: not even once
