Fellas, is it normal for a boss to get annoyed at their associate for calling another man "Sir"?

Julian's line of "I needed another womb for the baby, and the only two other people on board were Major Kira and me." is already very. That Man Is Trans. and listen yes you can interpret it as him saying Kira was the only choice, but then it's literally followed up by Sisko saying "I think you made the right choice, Doctor." which I know is supposed to be a joke but the implication IS there that there WAS a choice and basically Julian is trans

We're like "Oooh, the kids these days don't even try to figure things out for themselves!!" and like, yeah, that's true. And it's also annoying. I agree with all of the above tbh. Buuuut I think I would be too scared of fucking up to try anything if I was used to living under constant, hostile surveillance, too.

Look, I work with a bunch of 40-something year olds and they have young kids, and teenaged kids, and occasionally even young adult kids, and most of them monitor these people via devices and spyware, constantly, fretting about their safety and development and if they're doing what they should and if they're being appropriate with their friends and if they're up to something scary online, or in the right place offline. They get emails from teachers all the time, sometimes multiple times a day. They have apps to monitor classroom performance and apps to track smartphone behaviour and apps to locate their kids via GPS. They'll be like, "What's she doing on her phone? Should she be having this inappropriate conversation with her school friend via WhatsApp?" From the office they ask: "Did the smart lock on our front door open to the right phone at the right time for her to be getting home from school? Was she later than I expected?"

And... Like, IDK, mate, should you be reading your fifteen year old's texts while she makes a truly valiant effort to develop her social skills in the fucking panopticon? Are you so worried that she's going to be killed or kidnapped that you really NEED to have her phone sending its GPS location to you? Or are you just bombarded with information about how threatening the world is, constantly, and scared that she's growing up in a world with no guarantees?

If kids don't get the opportunity to fuck up in peace, they don't learn how to solve problems on their own, safely or otherwise. And now we're living with a bunch of twenty year olds who can't be relied upon to figure shit out and act on their own because... they've never been permitted to figure shit out and act on their own before. They've never been trusted, and now not only do they not trust themselves, they're also... not necessarily very trustworthy.

And then we get frustrated. "The kids these days don't even try to figure things out for themselves!!" Yeah. I mean. Yeah?

I wish I had a way to explain to these people that, you know, if you don't change direction, you will always end up where you're headed.

I heard a quote today and it made me think of your couples counseling fic. It was about the walls and defenses we build in our mind and how that can only push people away. But "two vulnerable people will always find a way to connect." And I can just totally see Sheari saying that to obikin

I can so easily see this tbh

and also I can so easily see both obi-wan and anakin being like “IM the vulnerable one!!! He’s the one with the sky high shields and walls and defenses!!!”

and probably Sheari, who spent an entire night drinking wine and researching war tactics with her wife because maybe if she can speak their language, the generals will be able to understand her, is like “ok ok ok well in a battle, what do you try to do when your opponent has very strong defenses you can’t knock through immediately?”

and the two generals turn to look at each other very obviously using their mental bond to discuss war tactics before they turn back to her and they’re like “if the enemy is stationary and secure behind walls, siege. If they’re out on open level field same as us, trench warfare.”

and sheari’s like “ok ok good so why don’t you apply the same logic to your partner? dig a trench, wait him out. Stay. That’s the important part. No one wants to be vulnerable with someone they think is about to leave or capable of leaving”

but she’s lost them because Anakin disagrees with sieges on principle and they’re now arguing about which tactics of war are more effective and they’ve completely lost the plot and are too focused and kriffing stupid to pay attention to the metaphor
