waking up the hq boys at midnight to get ice-cream hcs🍦
characters: tsukishima, tanaka, nishinoya, ushijima, sugawara,  oikawa,  kageyama 
note: yes, this was very much inspired by that one tiktok sound where the girl wakes up her bf to get ice-cream- 
also, i use midnight as like..the middle of the night- not actaully 12AM lol
tw// fluff, sangwoo- 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tsukishima Kei
you did not need to wake him up at 1AM to get ice-cream
man was already up, having just came off his phone and laying like this 😐 in bed as he either waited for himself to fall asleep or was thinking about an awkward interaction he had earlier that day 
anyway, as soon as you turned to him like ‘tsukki, do you wanna come with me to get ice-cream?’
he was suddenly 😴 fast asleep, fake snores and all
you were stubborn though, so you hopped out of bed up to go get ice-cream by yourself if he was just going to ignore you 
although, once you threw your coat on, tsukishima decided to start questioning your unusual behaviour, ‘why do you want ice-cream? it’s night; can’t you just sleep like a normal person and have ice-cream in the morning?’ 
honestly, tsukishima probably finds your nightly antics more endearing and cute rather than annoying 
he’d never admit it though- 
if you talk to him after midnight, on the outside he always looks displeased but really, he loves talking to you period
whether it is at 5PM or 1AM
you shrugged, without an explanation for your craving, ‘i don’t need to reason my midnight urges to you.’
with that, you turned on your heels to head out the door with the full intention of going to get ice-cream - this wasn’t a game 
tsukishima groaned as he finally deduced that you were being dead serious and not just doing this to irritate him
‘ugh, wait.’ he scoffed, forcing himself out of bed to follow you, ‘we have ice-cream downstairs, dumb-ass. don’t bother going out.’ 
you didn’t spare him a glance, continuing to venture to the front door, ‘yeah, but we don’t have strawberry.’ 
tsukishima glared at you, realising that persuasion would not work in this situation so he’d have to resort to brute force and trickery
‘ah, alright.’ he let out a sigh of defeat, ‘at least give us a hug before you go then.’
you paid no mind to how he referred to himself as plural, which is something he only does when he is lying or guilty as he is talking on behalf of his two faces 
also, you should’ve realised something was up when he actually asked for a hug instead of just expecting you to give him one
obliging, you wrapped him in a hug; allowing him to scoop you up into his arms, throw you over his shoulder and carry you to the kitchen
‘let me go, you whore!’  you squealed, lightly slapping his back as if that’d make him let you go 
tsukishima snickered at how childish you were being, ‘you can’t go out in the middle of the night to get ice-cream. you’ll die.’ 
‘i won’t die!’
‘you definitely will.’
anyway, he ends up making you both a bowl of ice-cream and eating it with you at the kitchen table while watching Spirited Away
and despite the fact he had some too, he’ll tease you about this for..the rest of your life 
like sometimes he’ll just wake you up in the middle of the night (during holidays ofc - he respects your sleep schedule) and whisper in your ear, ‘(y/n), do you wanna come get ice-cream with me?’
Tumblr media
Tanaka Ryūnosuke
IORFHIEBGEGBO THIS MAN
ik most ppl would think he’d just go with you without a second thought or that he’d be the one asking you to go out for ice-cream but- no- 
well, yes; he wants to 
but when you wake him at 1AM 
(which he doesn’t mind btw bc  sometimes he accidentally wakes you up at like 3AM bc he’s ragin’ on Battlefield oop-)
and you’re all like ‘ryū, wanna go get ice-cream?’ *puppy eyes*
he’s like ‘sure!- but i ain’t got money so- no ❤’ 
then he goes back to sleep 
however, if you say that you’ll pay..he’s already standing with your bags by the door
so you’re definitely gonna have to fork up some cash for that good quality pistachio gelato for him if you want his presence 😌
but tbh, if you said that you were just gonna pay for yourself, he’d come anyway-
Tumblr media
Nishinoya Yū
y’all go out at midnight for ice-cream at least once a week-
and it literally began bc you were watching ASMRs and Mukbangs together at 1AM during a sleepover 
and one person was having some lemon gelato and it looked 👌✨ immaculate
in that moment, you both looked at each other and neither of you had to utter a single word for you both to know that there was a mutual goal in mind; to get ice-cream, ASAP
so yeah ig you didn’t have to wake him up but you did need to awake the desire for ice-cream inside him
needless to say, y’all ran to the nearest ice-cream place 
and you made a race out of it 
(you won, ofc)
AND YOU BOTH SHARED A CUP OF GELATO AND IT WAS SO CUTE ! q(≧▽≦q)
and y’know the trope where you have food on the corner of your lip/chin etc and the person kisses you to get rid of it? 
yeah he tried to do that with the trope in mind but he deadass LICKED you IWFBVBBFRI
he was like ‘omg (y/n), lemme get that for you’ 😋👅
honestly, ig it depends if you are into that kinda stuff but ik some ppl would leave fast af ( ゚д゚)つ Bye
Tumblr media
Ushijima Wakatoshi
sorry i might have a bit of favouritism going on but i feel like ushijima would be a bigger bitch about it than tsukishima (at first)
but it’s like- solely bc you woke him up y’know?
‘ushijima, wanna go get ice-cream?’
he’s just laying there with his bed-head like :/
silently livid bc you messed up his potential 9 hours of sleep
‘no.’
pester all you want but that is the best you’re getting out of him that night
HOWEVER, the following afternoon (after practise ofc), he took you out for ice-cream 😊
and unlike some would believe (by ‘some’, i mean myself 2 secs ago.) i don’t think he’d be all ‘ice-cream is horrible for your health, (y/n)’ or ‘i can’t believe you’re eating that filth. your body is a temple.’
but that rather he’d just happily eat gelato with you; everything in moderation ig :)
OH AND HE’D PURPOSELLY BUY A DIFFERENT FLAVOUR FROM YOU SO HE COULD BE LIKE
‘(y/n), do you want a bite of mine?’ and give you a spoonful to try like the romance king he is  
Tumblr media
Oikawa Tōru
you wouldn’t wake him up bc mf needs his beauty sleep
plus, it was during a sleepover at your house so ofc you didn’t want to wake up your guest 
but he’s a light sleeper so when you’re shuffling through your stuff at 1AM, sneaking around the house to find a jacket (trying to be as quiet as possible so you don’t wake him up); his eyes are open and he’s speculating that sangwoo is near
until he turns around to notice that you’re not laying next to him and he is in fact being spooned by a large pillow (probably a sangwoo body pillow smh)
after that, he hops to his feet and storms through the house in search of you so he can yell at you for ruining his sleep grr
however, once he finds you and realises that you look ready to head out, he feels inclined to firstly ask, ‘where are you going? you know it’s 2AM, right?’ 
you replied by explaining your plan to sneak out for ice-cream and he just stared at you, absolutely bewildered for a few moments
he stood like a statue with that stupid expression on his face for ages so you asked him if he was alright, to which he responded, ‘that’s such a stupid idea.’
‘so, you’re not coming with?’
‘of course i am.’
so you both ended up sitting with your ice-cream cones, in your pyjamas, on a park bench somewhere, admiring the moonlit sky along with the stars adorning it
oh, and that was actually the first time he said ‘i love you.’
Tumblr media
Sugawara Kōshi
if feel like suga would be exactly like the guy in the sound/video: confused, tired and extremely reluctant but ofc inevitably he ends up standing outside of a dessert place, hand-in-hand with you
he’d wake up, weary from fatigue and he barely has the strength to argue with you during the day - so how exactly was he supposed to do it in the middle of the night? 
thus, he lugged himself out of bed and threw on a coat but as soon as the cold winter air bit at his nose, he was flooded with the energy and will-power to try convince you stay in with him
(It’s his parental senses) 
‘you’ll catch a cold, darling!’ (yes, he does call you that.) ‘and it’s night too, there’s probably a bunch of creeps out and around!’
at that point, it was just a battle of will
bc you both had each other’s wishes at heart
you wanted him to have peace of mind and he wanted you to have ice-cream
(and he was kinda craving some himself tbh)
so you both decided to stay in, tucking into the half-eaten tubs of Ben & Jerry’s in the fridge 
and after that, neither of you got any sleep bc you both stayed up watching movies and cuddling 🥺
Tumblr media
Kageyama Tobio
he was wide awake at 2AM, laying beside you on the bed, practising sets 
so ofc the time wasn’t an issue
but kageyama wasn’t big on sweet treats so when you suggested that y’all should go out for ice-cream, you were shocked - to say the least - when he simply replied 
‘sure’
like why would he oppose? he was already awake. plus, he was kinda craving something sweet tbh
also, he could tell it’d make you happy and he’s whipped tbh
so you took advantage of this indifferency by immediately jolting up and dragging him to your favourite dessert place
the whole time, he acted as usual - it was as if he was just on a regular walk to school
when you got there, you both shared a sundae and he paid; what a king (❤´艸`❤)
(it was bc you had forgotten your wallet/purse at home- but still a kind gesture 💕)
you both just sat in a booth, pecking away at the sundae while talking about anything and everything that came to mind as the low, distant R&B music from the shop’s speakers played in the background
 ‘it is flat. have you ever been on a plane before, (y/n)? did you see a single curve? no.’
you rolled your eyes, finding it physically painful how stupid kagyeama could be sometimes, ‘it’s science, kags. the earth is round! the curves are just very subtle.’
‘no.’
‘YOU CAN’T SAY NO! IT’S SCIENCE!’

Todoroki, Dabi, Shinsou and Hawks w/ a badass dancer s/o
Request: hello!! may i request hawks dabi n shinsou (shoto if ur feeling generous!!) hcs where their sweet adorable s/o suddenly turns into a badass charismatic dancer when fire ass music plays and shes out there vibin and feelin herself (no not in that way btw😳) - @highest-quality-of-trash​
I legit laugh so hard with theses dancing asks bc I can totally imagine them trying to put their jaw back in place after the witness you throw it back. Oml I love these types of crackhead asks. Hope you like it. Love yaa. 💖💖💖
rules
warnings: slightly suggestive here and there
Todoroki Shouto
Tumblr media
-You are so shy and he loves it. 
-Legit when you hide behind him and grasp his hand while you are going through a crowded area he just MELTS.
-HE A SIMP FOR YOUR ASS.
-When you sneeze and it’s one of those kitten sneezes he will give you the world.
-Your laugh is his favorite sound and he loves it even more when he is the reason behind your laughter. 
-He knows that he isn’t the most expressive person so he tends to make up for it with cuddles and cute dates. 
-You are his lockscreen. 
-It’s a picture of you cuddled up in his bed wearing his hoodie, fast asleep with the most adorable pout on your face. 
-Whenever he opens his phone he falls in love all over again. 
-You are his little cinnamon roll and he will protect you with his life. 
-So when ‘My Type’ starts playing while yall are hanging out with your class in the dorms he is shocked by how you freeze mid sentence. 
-You immediately lock eyes with Mina and hop off his lap in a flash and start dancing like crazy. 
-The choreography wasn’t perfect, Mina and Uraraka messed up a few and Jiro didn’t know half of the moves. 
-But you??
-You got the whole class shooketh.
-You didn’t miss a beat and got all the moves right.
-Todoroki was like 👀👀👀.
-Bc you kinda shaking your ass at some moves and boy is watching you like a hawk.
-When the lyrics say ‘that’s my type’ you always turn around and wink or look at him.
-Boy got butterflies in his stomach.
-When the song ends and you come to sit back down like nothing happened everyone is looking at you.
- “I learn them from tik tok...”
- “LAST I CHECKED TIK TOK COULDN’T DANCE THAT GOOD!!” 
-Mineta said that.
-Mineta became an ice cube after that comment.
-Todoroki will ask you to dance for him every so often and even decides to learn some dances so he can join you. 
-Wholesome in general but won’t hesitate to turn dirty if you give him the necessary signs. 
Dabi
Tumblr media
-We know he’s nasty.
-How he manage to land someone so adorable and sweet as you is beyond the league’s comprehension. 
-They shouldn’t underestimate you because they have seen you in action and dear lord you are terrifying. 
-But alas you are a cinnamon roll around them and absolutely adorable. 
-Most of them had bet that Dabi would have corrupted you at this point and you would have lost your sweetness but they were proven wrong. 
-Even after all this time with him you are still the same cinnamon roll.
-They all love you.
-So when Dabi tells them that you are one hell of a dancer and that you like the most badass songs they laugh at him. 
-You?
-Dirty dancing?
-Twerking?
-Yeah right. 
-So the next time yall are chilling in his room he purposefully set his phone up in a corner and put on ‘Anaconda’
-A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. 
-He should enjoy this. 
-The moment you start bopping your head along side the beat he knows shit is going down. 
-Soon you are full on twerking and doing all kinds of moves that gets him going as well. 
-Once the song ends he wastes no time to throw you on the bed. 
-The video was too ....intense and the league didn’t need to see what happened after your little dancing session. 
-They heard it well enough they didn’t have to see it as well. 
Shinsou Hitoshi
Tumblr media
-He isn’t an open person and he would want someone who is soft spoken and sweet. 
-His body and soul crave affection and gentleness so it’s not like he would be looking for someone like that because he knows their his type. 
-It just feels right. 
-So when he found you the sweet girl in the hero course while he was training along side you he was smitten. 
-Soon he found the courage to ask you out and now you two are a thing that most of your friends believe will lead to something more. 
-Something that will last well after high school is over. 
-They just know by the way you two look at each other. 
-You are his sweetheart and his adorable little kitten. 
-He would do anything for you. 
-Just like Shouto he has you as his lockscreen. 
-Its a photo pf you on his lap wearing one of his hoodies and doing small ears with your hands.
-An adorable photo he took while gaming, 
-He remembers it so clearly. 
-He was so tired after practice but you were there to cheer him up. 
-You always were. 
-He believed you were so innocent and pure. 
-That is until the song ‘Numb’ came on and you went crazy. 
-You two were studying and you had put on some music from your phone when the song changed to that one. 
-In a flash you were on your feet dancing along with the music moving your body like a professional dancer. 
-He took out his phone once he got out of his trance and started recording you. 
-He made the video his secret wallpaper...*like that Timothe meme*
-Once the song is over he’s so fixated on your ass that you have to shake his shoulder to bring him back to reality. 
-Needless to say that studying is long forgotten and Shinsou has something else to DO at the moment.
Hawks/Keigo Takami
Tumblr media
*he looks so dumb here smh*
-He loves your sweet and caring nature. 
-He’s craving for some nurturing and affection since he has never gotten any so having you by his side is a huge upgrade than his previous state. 
-He loves you to the moon and back.
-Has a folder full of photos of you.
-Selfies you had sent him, photos he had taken himself and some silly stuff you two had done. 
-He low-key expected you to be freaky in one way or another. 
-He just didn’t expect it to be dance. 
-It was date night and you had decided to cook dinner.
-You asked him to put on some music and you went back to checking on your meal. 
-Then it happened. 
-It was a classic and an old song at that but you knew the calling of dance when you heard it. 
-’Beautiful Liar’ was a marvelous song and the music video made things even better. 
-Keigo expected you to know the song and sway your hips to the rythem.
-But when you copied Shakira’s every move flawlessly he let his jaw drop to the floor. 
-Drool was starting to drip down his chin as he watched your hips move up and down or how you leaned on the fridge to do that arch-your-back-off-the-wall move. 
-Boy was mesmerized beyond belief. 
-Then the instrumental part came on and you danced to it flawlessly.
-The song was over way too soon and Keigo wanted more. 
-So what did he do?
-He made you to put the food aside and give him a lap dance. 
-Because he dump like dat.

I unfortunately won’t have therapy until the end of this month (I should have scheduled one earlier this month ugh lmao I thought one later this month would be better) so I’m doing what my therapist suggested, write down all what’s going through my head even if it doesn’t make sense to help bring myself back to reality. lol. I’m very much lost in my own sauce of feelings and thoughts. it’s allllll about my ex again so ugh lmao. My main anxieties are just feelings about my ex and what’s coming up this semester.
I’m currently in my apartment in Iowa City since we’re about to start back up my usual routine. I’ve been here for almost two weeks now which is nice because I’ve been trying to take my time to relax and get myself mentally prepared for this upcoming semester. I’m also low key glad I’m having these overwhelming anxieties right now instead of later this week. I need to ask my therapist again what exactly I am feeling (if it’s like a panic attack because i truly dont know) because I’ve been feeling hella anxious the past few days (in general) and yesterday my anxiety was so intense that I barely ate and I felt sick to my stomach. idk if others have the same too but when I also get hella anxious, all I want to do is go to the bathroom so tmi lmao. I feel this way now and I just cannot stop crying so again, I’m just writing everything that’s going through my mind lmao.
#1) Related to my ex, heart break
Yeah.. I literally keep talking about this/him and I’m glad I have multiple outlets that I can say what’s going through my mind because if I keep these thoughts to myself, I keep spiraling. I’m also very thankful I have multiple strong support systems from people where it truly doesn’t get annoying to them when I keep talking about him/my overall heart break/healing journey. I know I don’t want to burden my friends with my own thoughts (it can be a lot) so overall very thankful for friends, family, and my therapist lmao. 
I think the last time I talked about my heart break was the letter I wrote to him. I wrote it and sent it to him lmao. I also wrote his mom a letter in Spanish because I want to stay connected with her and very thankful she reciprocates the same energy, Apparently, he never received the letter even though I sent it over 3 weeks ago, but anyways yeah that’s a story I will tell later in this post. Anyways, it’s legit easier said than done to completely stop checking on his social media. I was doing great before winter break. Now that winter break has happened (still kind of is for a few more days), I have relapsed where I was checking very often. The break was great since I got to spend quality time with family, however, unfortunately being back in Wichita still floods a lot of my emotions where there are still a lot of memories of him and I that still makes me feel sad (luckily no longer sobbing about but I do still feel some type of way. It’s getting better thankfully). It also hurts that he’s making new memories with his new girlfriend Kylie so I was def feeling all sorts of things. Sorry, I’m trying to go onto chronologize order of events that have happened. I’m jumping back and forth lmao 
First, did I mention his mom called me the day before Christmas? I was SHOOOOOK when I saw her name on my phone. I legit froze because I wasn’t sure if it was actually her so I accidently missed her call. I’m so glad she left a voicemail so I could listen first and immediately call her back LMAO. But basically, she wanted to check in to see how I was doing, wish me and my family a merry christmas/happy new year, and asked if I could come see her. We joked a bit back and forth like how she was learning English for me while I’m learning Spanish for her. lmao. so after this phone call, I wrote her a letter to update her on what I’ve been doing. I wrote it all in Spanish since that’s her primary language so thank god for google translate. overall, I told her about how I’m about to earn my masters degree in may, I’ve lost now 30 lbs of weight/having a better relationship with food, how I’m honestly still hurt about her son cheating on me (I was in my feels. You know if you ever get those feelings like you want your mom? She legit is like a mom to me since my mom isn’t an active part of my life so yeah I guess you can say I got mommy issues but anyways) I also told her that if she’d still like me to come over, I’d love to come over and see her.
Few days go by, I’ve been creeping onto his social media, it stings to see how he has flaunted his relationship with Kylie. It hurts because I keep playing this comparison game because he truly has NEVER allowed me to post about us and he would himself refuse to post about us on his social media. So, just to see how he’s been basically spending every single day with her and posting her throughout all of his social media, makes me feel an extreme type of way. during new years, she had a party at her house where it was him, her, his brother paco (which I was SHOOOK because she met paco and not everyone has ever met paco, who is his oldest brother), miguel and his girlfriend (both are super cute btw), Blake (surprisingly), and Erik. I felt some kind of way because obviously I know they would share a new years kiss even tho they’ve only been dating for literally a month. I dated him for 3 years and NEVER got a new years kiss (because he wanted to be with bros). Valentines day is coming up and it’d be their “two month” anniversary and I just KNOW he’d actually put EFFORT into spending that day with her. 3 years I dated this guy and he never ONCE did ANYTHING for me for valentines day. ok I’m getting more hurt thinking how he’s treating his other girls better than me so anyways BACK TO THE TOPIC
few days go by and I got another call from his mom. I actually picked up this time because I was really excited to hear her voice again. I legit would die for this woman legit #1 mom. She asked if she could see me and I happily said yes. It really means a lot that she still gives me the same energy that she gave me when I was still dating her son. One of the hardest parts of us breaking up was the potential of losing his family too because they are all truly good people and I am NOT the CEO of letting people go lmao. okay back to subject, I had TONS of anxiety driving over to her house because I had so many thoughts. I asked on the phone if 1.) is Lalo there. She said no. 2.) Is Paco there. No, he apparently flew back to California that morning. I was low key hoping paco would be there still because it would be cool to catch up with him but anyways my main concern was if eduardo was there so since he wasn’t, I was like “ok vroom vroom let’s go” lmao. WOWOWOWWO seeing her just made my heart so happy. She def has a lot more gray hairs since the last time I saw her lmao she’s the cutest anyways, I’m really shook that HIS DAD FREAKING HUGGED ME. THIS MAN NEVER USUALLY HUGS ANYONEEEEEEEEEEE. Typically how we greet each other, it’s like a wave from a distance and we obvi acknowledge each other. so WOOOOW I was very thankful and shook he hugged me. Anyways, his mom showed me around the house with the Christmas decorations, I noticed her birds were still doing well, she even showed me her new plants she got lmao. We sat at the dining room table and talked and ate mexican snacks. She has broken English and I have broken Spanish so literally thank god for dualingo because it has helped me. I love how when we are together, we talk really slow and try to annunciate for each other LMAOOO. Anyways, THIS WOMAN ALSO GOT ME A STOCKING filled with Mexican Candy. omg this woman i love her so much. Anyways, I showed my tattoos to her and she legit wanted to murder me lmao but she says she likes them but hates them at the same time. She also sat me down and we had a serious conversation in terms of how she sees me. She said that I am no longer known as lalo’s novia, what I am to her is a daughter. I am evelyn’s sister and yo boi that got me crying in the club because that’s what I would love to have, to maintain my relationship with them . Okay, to kind of speed things up, basically we kept talking about Evelyn’s quinceanera that’s happening this year AHHHHHH, dropped Evelyn off and her friend to a friend’s quince, and his mom took me to eat at paleterias tropicana where I tried elote for the first time and had a jugo verde WOOOOOW SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD. literally cannot stop thinking about it. Anyways, random note, I noticed my old K-State beanie in the car and his mom said it was Evelyn’s. It gave me a weird feeling because it was originally mine that he gifted me on our first Christmas together but obviously I knew he wouldn’t keep it so I’m not suprised he gave it to Evelyn. It made me wonder then what did he do to the other gifts that he originally gave me but I gave it back to him once we broke up.. okay that was a tangent, anyways, that was it with the night with his mom and ughhh it was a really fun night and I really am looking forward to seeing her again.
Now fast forward to now-ish, me not doing good of not checking his social media, I got triggered because they now made it “facebook officlal” that they are dating. it triggered me because again, he refused to publicize our relationship and it really threw me off that they’ve only been dating for a month (technically interested in each other since October, started dating November) and already publicizing they are together. they moving hella quick and basically, I got hella bitter. I felt reckless and I texted him. I KNOW I shouldn’t have texted him because I immediately felt a sense of regret after but also low key glad I did text him. ugh i hate me lmao. Anyways, i texted him and he asked if he could call me so I said yes. Luckily, the conversation was better than I expected because it was simply like two old friends catching up. It was a really good feeling even tho I’m honestly still hurt about the way that he treated me. It caught me by suprised when he said that he has talked about me with Kylie and he actually stated that he knows what he did and feels regretful for the choices he made. That was a huge shocker and I do still have trust issues because I try to take things that he says with a grain of salt. He may be saying things to me that I want to hear but it’s not the truth so anyways lmao. Our conversation was good and it really got me thinking what exactly am I doing/how am I really feeling.
I really am happy for him. Yes i’m still deeply hurt and feel a type of way about how he treated me, but I can’t do anything about the past and all I can do is just simply be happy for him. I will always love him without a doubt, but he isn’t my person. I hope this doesn’t come off as selfish but he will never find someone better than me, he is simply finding someone better suited for him. What helps me the most about this is thinking about ME because that’s the situation for him, however, I know I will find someone better than him because I deserve the best.
I felt bad for asking because I am just fucking nosy and I’m glad he was okay with me asking about what happened with his relationship with Lila (the girl he left me for) and how did he start dating Kylie. He shared with with me that even though it was all great in the beginning with Lila (and let me tell you dude, he totally was hella infatuated with her lmao), they started becoming two different people. She apparently wasn’t emotionally there for him when he needed her (IRONICCCCCCCCCCCCC BECAUSE THAT’S EXACTLY HOW HE WAS WITH ME THROUGHOUT OUR 3 YEARS TOGETHER) and she ended the relationship. It did make me sad to hear because everyone needs support and it is sad when you go to someone for support and they don’t give you it, ya know? anyways, he said with Kylie, they’ve been friends for two years (I knew who she was when we were together but they’ve always only been friends since they worked at the Sunflower together. This will sound extremely bad but I never thought about her being a girl to worry about because she did a lot of “white” things that we make fun of white people for and so it kind of shocked me that he is dating her now but anyways) apparently he said that “they were hanging out and next thing he knows is that he kissed her and that’s how they started dating.” dude didn’t want to go into detail which was fine but I’m also in my head like “ok lmao you literally just got broken up by your ex and then immediately start hanging out with another girl? ok” ANYWAYS, I really am happy for him and wish him the best. 
It was cool to hear about what he’s hoping to do. He shared a lot more detail than usual which again caught me by surprise. Anyways, he shared that he is currently looking for a new place to live (a house to rent) somewhere in college hill (conveniently where Kylie also lives lmao) with Erik. He is also hoping to find another job soon because things at KWCH are no longer making him feel happier so he’s looking to see if he can work for a non-profit org which makes me happy for him because I’d also want to do the same. If I’m at a job where I’m not excited to be, I’d want to also try to make a switch. He also shared that junior (martin, his little brother) will be moving to Cali in May to move close to paco which wow made me really happy for them all. Anyways, he shared that he is hoping to stay in Wichita for about one more year and then possibly relocating to KC or somewhere in Oklahoma. i did encourage him KC because it seems that KC has much more opportunities than Wichita and Oklahoma. Only thing we both hate is driving in KC lmao
Okay, so overall, I’m still really hurt about how our relationship was and how it ended but I’m very grateful that I’m doing what is best for me to make progress because this is not an overall easy thing to do, move on. I do feel low key embarrassed that I still am not over our break up but I’m very glad that I know that He isn’t my person. we will and I cannot get back together with him even if he stated that he has “changed” Yes i invested so much in him to be my forever partner and it didn’t work out but that’s okay. I’m always willing to invest in people to be the best version of themselves and it really makes me happy to see people thrive. I truly cannot and will not take him back if there was ever a time where he wanted to give us a second try because I need to remember how he treated me. If he really was always thinking it was me, then he shouldn’t have cheated on me, treated me so poorly. I’m okay with us remaining friends, but as partners in life? that isn’t it. I deserve so much better and the man of my dreams will come. I’m 10000000% okay with being single because I know I need to work on myself so that I can be fully ready for my next. I really wish my next relationship is my one and only, but hey we’ll see. 
so this is already extremely long but I’m very glad I got this all out of me. I know I have other anxieties such as starting school again, which will be my last semester before I earn my masters (FINALLY), RA training coming back up (so me working is coming back), JOB SEARCH. So much is coming up and AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I need to get my head into gear.

Hi! So, i have an actual genuine question, but i really don't know how to word it. The jist of it though, is this: what's your opinion on the 'horror farms'? Like, the ones shown in 'documentaries', where the animals ARE treated terribly. Cows raised on corn and chickens that can't walk, that kinda stuff. Like, should i stay away from that meat, or does it actually matter at all? If I'm misinformed, please let me know, I'm just trying to educate myself!
It’s fine, ask away. I’m very blunt myself so just saying stuff works best I always find.
Horror farms. Yea I wanted some of those shows and honestly how would they stay in business? We have animal welfare checks and health inspectors that are by law allowed to come in and check any time they want too in anywhere they wish to see. Something they don’t like. They shut you down. Normally they give you a written warning with what they want fixed and a date to have it done by in which time they return to check and heaven help you if you didn’t do it.
We are under such tight scrutiny with health and animal care that what I’ve seen on some of those shows cannot be happening with the systems we have in place, that leads me to believe that what they show are places that do not have the same guidelines or systems.
That being said thou there are some factors that are true but are grossly exaggerated, let’s take the cattle eating corn. Yes. They do. Dairy need high energy foods to make milk otherwise they lose condition and that’s when you see cattle that look like all bones. Putting aside illness. Cattle are like athletes, they need proper nutrition to work and produce at peek levels. Corn is a high energy food. It’s also a useful crop, some of us grow it. Sell the seed grain which is the only part edible by humans. Then use the rest as cattle feed. We mulch it and mix it with other food stuffs for the cattle. That also works as a finishing feed for beef. We can also grow a fast growing type of corn I just call cattle corn. It’s smaller. Bitter and tough. We tend to mulch everything for the animals. In our case we silo it and ferment it for them. Every day. Two times in our case we have an automatic feeder that which the girls are in the barn it goes around and drops a pre set amount of feed in front of the cow to eat while we milk. This system has been in place since the 90s. Old but serves well. Our cattle have enjoyed it since they came in the line. Corn doesn’t kill. Same as fast food. If you eat too much you can get issues but when it’s coupled with exercise and roughage the cattle do well. As for beef. The pure corn diet is rarely the case because like candy. You can’t go long term on that. You get so many issues. That’s a short term diet for fattening up before market. Think of it like bulking up because we get paid by weight. But that animal is not fed that diet all it’s life. It would not survive on pure corn. The vast majority are grass fed till the last few weeks when they are moved to lots and fed up.
https://arrowquip.com/blog/animal-science/cattle-feed-plan
This one follows a lot like what we do here
Now as for chickens. I’m not a big scale chicken farmer. What we do is chickens and turkeys for ourselves. But since my family is huge we have plenty. My sister does this area these days. But we all pitch in. Now. What you see in places like wal mart is the massive chicken breasts. Those are often from the chickens that only love about six to eight weeks. Called a Cornish cross. We’ve tried them before and honestly. You have to butcher them soon because if you let them go longer that’s when you see the issues of being unable to walk and sickness. They are bred to be fast growing and huge. Truthfully this is what the markets want. Lots of meat for little cost. As terrible as it sounds. Think of it this way. You get a bunch of chickens this month you can be eating next month or shortly after. Feed cost is low and they grow big. I’m really torn on it myself because for people that have little food these animals could be a massive difference in food security. Yet their hearts and lungs give out due to the rate at which they grow. To feed people they are amazing. But for the animals themselves to have any quality of life, it’s gotta be short. We tend to have longer living animals that usually grow to fall and more laying hens. I can’t say there is right or wrong on this topic because again. It’s easy to say “ that’s terrible they live so short and I’m gonna eat something that lives longer” when you can afford to wait and put extra into the feed costs. But for some people that don’t have any money to spare and hardly any food.. what right do we have to demand they eat something someone else feels more ethical. I’m not going to judge it. It’s just not something I would raise personally.
Basically. If you live in a place that has long cold winters. The fresh strawberries in the store are not local.. hence they have been shipped in from somewhere, maybe go with something like potato’s. If you don’t live near an ocean and you want fresh seafood. Maybe not the right choice, you gotta see what farms are around you. Goats? Sheep? Cattle? Or your in a place that has loads of seafood and wildlife but few farms. Hence. Seafood and wild game might be better. You know your area better then me. Or you should learn it. Then decide from that what is best for local foods. I know it’s not easy to meet local farmers but you can go to a butcher shop and talk with them. You can get a good feel from a well run work environment that way and they usually won’t buy from poorly run places or stop buying if something about the animals isn’t right. I find a new tactic these days is buying into something as a group. We’ve been having these. A few people ask to buy a steer and each buy a share. Which they divy up after the butcher is done. I’ve seen groups of seven people all buy into one animal and I think that’s great. Nothing goes to waste and they all communicate amoung themselves to what they want and sometimes pop up to see how things are going. That’s an option too. Same as talking with smaller farms and ordering the finished meat too. You figure what your comfortable trying and if that’s just going to Walmart. Then you go there. Look past the labels because really. Grain fed organic beef in one freezer isn’t gonna be much different from the no name in another area <<. Grain fed means corn usually btw!. Then maybe work your way into farmers markets and buying there to someday maybe buying right from the farmer yourself. Good luck!

I’m sorry you’re still feeling exhausted.  I hope work wasn’t too terrible today, and that the weekend lets you rest up a bit (if you get normal weekends.  working in retail I try not to assume.)  Also, this is likely to just be a short(-ish) collection of unconnected musings, but I felt like sharing them anyway, and really you should be used to that from me at this point.  XD  So, first off that tree painting is GORGEOUS.  I mean, I tend to be kinda partial to that whole tree silhouette type aesthetic, so I’m probably slightly biased.  But still.  (And the background shading… <3 )  Also, ngl, the backlit keyboard keeps making me think of that video of Henry Cavill assembling his new computer that’s making the rounds.  That is not meant as a complaint of any sort, mind you, merely an observation.
Speaking of hot scruffy dudes who are actually massive dorks, did you SEE Ian’s most recent Insta pic?!  (the non-cowboy hat one)  Omg, I don’t know why he keeps complaining about how it’s starting to look like TW Season One hair like it’s some sort of bad thing.  (The longer the hair, the better the grip you can get. […uh…wait, what?… ’>.> ])  That pic just screams OUAT sequel to me.  Out here looking all shaggy and windblown and peaceful and content.  Proud Alpha Dad Peter spending quality time with his family/pack.  How very dare he spring this on an unsuspecting public with no warning?  I was not prepared.  (Also, Sinqua and Holland commenting on it just ups the adorable factor that much more.)
Also, was looking at a few sites lately in consideration of ordering a few more masks for work, found this print on one of them and almost laughed myself absolutely stupid.  I don’t know why it was just so funny to me, but I hope it cheers you as much as it did me.  Btw, it’s available on an impressive variety of items, including two types of notebooks, t-shirts, mugs, blankets, pillows, beach towels, shower curtains, rugs, bath mats, several styles of bags, phone cases, and assorted types of wall art (sadly not on a mask, however.  I was deeply disappointed.)  I can see any number of items ending up in the Haleargentski household, bought by assorted non-wolf members for assorted wolf members, because they are a family of assholes.  (I feel like the first gift was a travel mug to Peter from his darling husbands, then a t-shirt [on black ofc] from Peter to Derek, and then it just all snowballed from there.)
Today’s literally-just-appeared-out-of-nowhere-wtf-brain thought is (much like the French maid thing) definitely of the nsfw variety, so consider yourself duly warned if you have a shift today.  Because I mean we talked about Chris and Noah using toys on each other, but why should Peter get left out of the fun?  There are plenty of ways for him to enjoy them, too.  Like, pretty much the initial spontaneous thought was “Peter getting pulled into someone’s lap and being pegged within an inch of his life until he comes screaming down the throat of whichever one is going down on him at the same time."  And I was just like "not sure what this has to do with this video of how to make a ukelele out of colored pencils, but continue."  But like, no really.  Peter being knotted in one of them while the other uses beads or a (vibrating) plug on him?  (Which one is the asshole who momentarily turns the vibration up high enough that they BOTH can feel it?)  Or using those, or some kind of prostate massager, while he’s tied up and watching them with each other?  Bonus points in that situation for anything remote controlled.  See just how good his control really is.  Equal opportunity toy usage is what I’m saying, basically.
Also had a thought inspired by a pregnant friend and her fiance raving about a local pizza place’s monthly special, which is a pickle pizza (no really).  I may or may not have asked her if she had it with ice cream (I totally did, but apparently she’s past that point.)  So I was wondering about any weird or specific cravings the boys have while pregnant.  I remember Chris having a thing about chocolate pudding in the flashbacks.  Was it only a certain type of pudding, or would any kind do?  Were there any others he had?  Did he have the same ones with Ben or different?  What about Noah?  What sort of cravings did he get, if any?  And did they vary between sets of twins?  Did anybody go the aforementioned pickles and ice cream route?  Anybody dipping fries in Nutella?  Onion straws in peanut butter?  Doritos in cottage cheese?  Anybody eat salsa straight out of the jar?  Did anybody get any sudden absolute need for a specific fast food at two in the morning?  Or suddenly want a type of snack food only carried at one truck stop halfway past the next town?  Anybody spend several days eating nothing but veggie trays, including ones they normally can’t stand?  Anybody develop a temporary aversion to certain things, like coffee (feels like it would be a terrible thing for either of them)?  Did Peter cater to their every whim in any and all of these situations?  (I already know that answer.)  Did either one ever get demanding about it, or did they go the more passively-wistful-won’t-stop-mentioning-it route?  Side note; did anyone (not family) ever catch the wrong end of hormones now backed by even more combat and/or magical ability?  (Debbie at the bake sale best step off or she gonna regret a number of her life choices.)
Uh…I think that was the last of the random swirling questions/musings/headcanons for now…  I hope you feel a bit better today, and that the time off (I think you mentioned some time off?) is helpful.  Enjoy your time with your friend (that was this weekend, right?).  If you’ve got ideas for writing stuff, but are having trouble getting them down, would making quick notes/reminders, or voice recordings, for later help?  Like, so you don’t worry about losing them, but aren’t forcing yourself to do something you don’t feel up for at the time?  Either way, congrats on keeping up with the journaling (and the pretty, pretty art), and I hope tracking everything proves helpful.  And remember, other people’s bullshit issues and hang-ups are in no way your fault (no matter what they try to tell you), and you deserve all the good things.  Take care!  *Hugs to both of you!* 
Yeah, honestly I think I hit that point in my life again where my battery is drained and I can’t restart it. Which is how I got my burn out at first and working towards another one. Heh but I also don’t want to give up now and just keep working for a little longer because my contract expires at the end of September and yeah.. 
Stress.
Aww gosh thank you, yeah I really like how that one turned out! It was better than expected.
Btw if you’re into Zombie apocalypse stories (I am) you should definitely check out The girl with all the gifts. It’s so brutal but also interesting, I definitely enjoyed that. (And it was research for my own book)
Lol I love this keyboard and this laptop, really, it was the most expensive thing I ever bought but it’s so worth it. Still runs super smooth after 2 years. I don’t think I’ve seen that video of Henry though. 
And omg yes I did and it’s the best thing. he looks so SOFT omg. I def got  OUAT S2 vibes from that. And OUAT vibes. Also that pic of him with Colton, omg. Those were the best!
THAT PRINT!!!! I nearly snorted coffee out of my nose this morning but managed to swallow it down just in time. My work computer would have suffered caffeine damage otherwise XD.
But yeah, that becomes a running gag for sure!
Because I mean we talked about Chris and Noah using toys on each other, but why should Peter get left out of the fun?  There are plenty of ways for him to enjoy them, too.  Like, pretty much the initial spontaneous thought was “Peter getting pulled into someone’s lap and being pegged within an inch of his life until he comes screaming down the throat of whichever one is going down on him at the same time."
Tumblr media
*cheff’s kiss* 
Yes.
Oh the images are so good. Remind me to write them out in detail tomorrow after the zoo trip.
Also parking the pregnancy cravings to answer tomorrow since it’s past midnight and I should catch some sleep before I need to be up again. But I will definitely type that HC out.
Side note; did anyone (not family) ever catch the wrong end of hormones now backed by even more combat and/or magical ability?  (Debbie at the bake sale best step off or she gonna regret a number of her life choices.)
Tumblr media
Ohhh Debbie’s toast. Because yes, Noah’s magic is that much stronger when it’s fueled by pregnancy hormones and Chris turns into a very protective hormonal fighting machine. Low center of gravity has advantages when you’re in a squabble with the Karens.
And yeah, I have four days off right now. Which means I don’t have to work until Thursday again. Which is awesome!
But yeah work wasn’t too bad, I had to do one bad news conversation which fucking sucked since there was nothing I could do and nobody I could get a hold off to fix the problem for that customer and it was just a waiting game. I hate those conversations. I honestly do.
Most of it was quiet though and I got to leave an hour earlier due to the quiet day. So that was good. And I watched a movie while being paid (The girl with all the gifts) so that was pretty fun too XD
I actually voice record a lot already. I find it really helps with clearing my mind and I write a lot of stuff down. But I appreciate the tip!
Lots of cuddles from me and Mo and I hope your day went by well. <3

Utah Park Road Trip
Tumblr media
What a year. I’ve taken a hiatus from the blog during 2020 for obvious reasons: pandemic travel is a challenge and not encouraged. It was hard to decide whether to venture out at all frankly. But after a a new gig, I desperately needed a getaway- so we took a week-long road trip to Utah. Our goal was to try to avoid people and get into nature. I’m so grateful for the escape. In the end, my soul really needed to go. Needed the break. Needed the change of scenery. I’ve gotten a lot of folks asking me what we did, where we went, so I decided to dust off the blog and share with folks our itinerary. 
We traveled with surface cleaner, our masks, etc. We took precautions where appropriate. It wasn’t always easy, but I felt relatively safe. We stayed in hotels and cabins- camping is totally an option, but traveling in August meant very hot weather and we wanted the AC. But every place we went had camping options if that is more your speed. Also many of the places we stayed, we could enter the room from an external door. It felt safer generally than riding an elevator or being in narrow hotel halls. We also didn’t have maid service during our stays to limit who was in the room. But I encourage everyone to be smart about whatever they chose to do. It’s hard to control all elements. We did the best we could.
You may wonder why we went to Springdale and THEN Bryce and THEN back to Zion- well, cost (the Lodge in the park was cheaper midweek) and avoiding people. We aimed to hit the Narrows hike on a Wednesday- which was less crowded.
Tumblr media
Day 1 and 2 - Springdale, UT
We drove from LA. We opted not to stop in Vegas because they have a lot of coronavirus cases. Without traffic, it’s a six hour or so drive to beautiful Springdale, UT- the gateway to Zion National Park. We stayed at the Majestic View Lodge at the edge of town for two nights. Springdale itself is a gem in the canyon between red rock cliffs towering above.
Zion National Park has a shuttle service with limited tickets to access certain portions of the park (**check for their policies regularly/they changed during our planning and we almost didn’t score tickets). But there are some sites that don’t require a shuttle. We hit those first. After a breakfast at Deep Creek Coffee (really good/we went twice!), we ventured up the scenic drive of the park. Surrounded by giants, we pulled off and took photos as we headed to our first hike on the Canyon Overlook Trail. It’s a moderately challenging hike, but not long. You can do it rather quickly, but we definitely stopped to take many a photo. You’re rewarded with quite a view. Some portion of the trail was narrow- so bring your mask (always bring your mask). After, we cooled down at the hotel pool until it got busier. 
Tumblr media
Before dinner, we rode bikes through Springdale to the Pa’rus Trail (paved so it’s not hard to bike). It was mighty glorious as the sun set below The Watchman. The grill at the Majestic View Lodge did have really good ribeye for take-out. 
Day 3-5 Bryce Canyon National Park
Tumblr media
The next day, we headed to Bryce National Park for two nights. What a special place. Powerful hoodoos dot the canyon. I felt like I was immersed in a giant sand castle. It was hot when we went. There was no water in the canyon, so take more water than you think you need if you plan to hike beyond the rim. 
Our first hike was the Navajo Trail to the Peekaboo Loop and then up iconic Wall Street. It’s strenuous. If you want something lighter, do just Navajo Trail- but even that has dramatic elevation gain. Also, you have the challenge of Bryce’s naturally high elevation. The most common medical issues folks have in Bryce are elevation related problems. The number two problem; ankle issues (so wear supportive shoes) because the trails are steep. Despite being hard, it was JAW-DROPPINGLY beautiful. No photos need a filter. Go slow, take breaks, take photos, and stay hydrated. 
Tumblr media
The next day we woke up early and hit The Fairyland Loop. It’s the longest hike in the park, but you’ll have no issues social distancing. Bring lots of water and lunch- but it’s not as hard as Peekaboo/Navajo. Go early to avoid midday sun. We started at Sunrise point and did it counter clockwise. We liked this for a few reasons- our climb back out of the canyon was shaded by an occasional tree and the last two miles of the hike was the much easier Rim Trail in the hotter part of the day (which does have some climbing itself, but at least you’re almost to your car by the end)... and also I loved ending the hike near the General Store for a little lemonade and fruit. 
Closer to sunset, we checked out Rainbow Point and Natural Bridge. If you skip Peekaboo, Bryce Point will give you a taste of what you missed from above. 
The town of Bryce itself was only established ten years ago. Not too much there. We grabbed picnic/breakfast food in Springdale and then got take out in Tropic for dinners. Stone Hearth Grille was delicious and beautifully situated- I can tell it would be a great place to eat in when this pandemic is over.  IDK Barbecue was also really tasty. 
Tumblr media
The last morning in Bryce we hit the Queens Garden Trail- the most popular trail. But you can see why, it’s not-to-be-missed gorgeous and it’s the “easiest” trail into the canyon (and by easiest, I still mean it’s steep). We opted to hit it on a Tuesday and found it wasn’t too hard to avoid folks. I did wear my mask more (i really dig my Variant Malibu mask btw). 
Day 6-8 Zion National Park
After the hike, we headed back to Zion. On this stretch, we stayed at Zion Lodge in a cabin at the Xanterra run hotel in the park. It was worth it because you get a drive-on into the park where only shuttles can go and it’s great to be in the midst of the action (the only caveat is, you can only drive as far as the lodge). There’s also the bonus reality that if you stay at the lodge, the shuttle times are irrelevant, They let you on whenever, you just need a ticket for the day. Alternatively, you can ride uphill to the Narrows by bike.
Tumblr media
We rode the shuttle once to go to the famous Narrows hike. We were very much rewarded for our early morning- there were very uncrowded stretches. What a colossally special experience. Almost religious- I felt like I was in a giant natural cathedral. The early morning light gifted us with such dynamic and extraordinary sights. I’ll never forget them. Besides snacks and water, I highly recommend a hiking pole and neoprene socks. Just buy them ahead of time- but you can rent them in town for the same cost. We were glad to just get started early and not have to deal with rentals. The rocks are slippery so mind your step. I also felt the current made it more precarious.  Be sure to check the water quality and for flash flood warnings. Levels were low, but due to little rain there was a bacterial overgrowth harmful to humans and animals. So sadly, we couldn’t submerge (or ingest)- but I felt it was shallow enough to maintain safety. Avoid the algae mats. 
As we wrapped up the hike six hours later, more people hit the trail- the mask was up and this was the most congested I felt all trip! But the ranger at the end of the hike said that actually, this was nothing compared to pre-covid. People used to wait hours for a shuttle... so thanks pandemic, we didn’t wait long. 
Tumblr media
In the evenings, we gazed at the Milky Way on the green lawn filled with deer and tried to spy meteors showering by (well, more like a trickle- we saw two between us) and hung out on our cabin porch drinking wine and playing cards. Staying in the park was peaceful. 
Additionally, some of the popular hikes are an easy stroll from the lodge. It would have been possible to avoid the shuttle altogether if we weren’t intending to do the Narrows. We walked on an evening stroll up the trail to the Grotto picnic area where the Angel’s Landing Hike begins (the top is closed at present for Covid). Across the street from the lodge is the trailhead for the Emerald Pools. We would have made the trek but the pools are apparently very low right now. Some things for us to check out next time!
Day 9-11 Sundance, UT
Tumblr media
After Zion, we headed north for two nights in the mountains outside of Salt Lake City. I was craving green and trees for sure. We stayed at the Sundance Resort but if you’re looking to save some coin, there’s plenty of camping off the narrow mountain Alpine Scenic Byway. The mountain pass is closed in the winter, but right now it’s dotted with gorgeous still-snow dusted peaks and the largest Aspen grove I’ve ever seen.
There were a lot of hikes in the area, but in the warm heat of the summer, we opted for Stewart Falls. There are a few access points- if you don’t stay at Sundance, there is a trailhead in Aspen Grove. If you stay at the resort, you get a free ski-lift ticket (or you can buy one). We took the scenic chalet to Ray’s Summit  (you can go further up to the top for a cold beverage and what-looked-like-delicious nachos). From Ray’s Summit, you can hike a lovely but sometimes steep trail down to the falls. We then took the trail back to our lodging from the falls. Google maps was helpful in navigating the narrow trails. 
Tumblr media
We did shell out for the zip line tour which boasts one of the longest rides in the US. It was exhilarating. You fly from peak to peak and down the mountain. Definitely grab a bottle of water to take with you- it took us about 2 hours to do it all... but can take up to 3. Luckily our group was just the two of us, so it went pretty fast and I was thankful to not have to wait for anyone. 
The food at Sundance was excellent with lots of outdoor seating and picnic tables- so it’s easy to get a fine dining meal and a swell spot to eat it in. Everything from the breakfast sandwich to the salmon to the pork chops was really good. 
Tumblr media
Day 12-13 St. George, UT
On our way back to Los Angeles, we drove back south again and stayed in St. George- not far outside of Zion. We stayed at a lovely renovated hotel Inn of the Cliff- bonus points for beautiful view and pool. Pro-tip, if you want the pool ALL to yourself, Sunday morning seemed to be the winner (because I think the community is all at church). Also for breakfast, skip the long lines and go to Tia’s Artesian Bakery. We picked up some delectable food ahead of the drive home.
Tumblr media
In the end, I was so grateful for this trip. It felt incredibly long (even though it was just weekend to weekend). Getting into nature, surrounded by awesome views, and testing my body- but also having down-time- felt crucial to getting the rejuvenation I needed. On long, popular hike days, we rose early- but almost every other day, we slept in. The balance felt right. We were grateful to pack a cooler and have snacks and cold drinks on long drives or hot days. 
Travel safe. Stay healthy. Take care of your spirit. Go find nature.

Homeless Autistic Girl
Hey guys... this really kills me to ask, however right now I’m homeless at the moment.
Technology, I’m living with a long time friend who is hounding me to find a job since she believes it’s just so damn easy and move out by The end of February. I’ve put out application after application and only maybe a couple have called back for an interview. Only for them to tell me the same exact thing over and over, “You don’t seem like you will do well for this job.” With out even giving me a garsh darn chance to show them I’m willing to work my butt off.
Yet, they hire people who are literally ALLERGIC to manual labor, and pay them twice the wage to appease them so they don’t get sued. It pisses me off. I have Autism and PTSD, I watched my mother and fathers beloved dog get run over by a car, I know these people have mommy and daddy’s that coddle them. My parents died on September 22, 2013. My sister’s threw me out in the cold and said I’m on own. I’m still here, sadly. Not one day goes by and I don’t think about giving up and killing myself. Love to give that bayberry (under a new name) Bitch and all the rest what they wanted in the first place! With heartless pieces off shit like them in this world, I definitely don’t feel it’s worth the aggravation!
You push, you kick, you fight, you bite, you bunch, but guess what you end up someone else’s lunch! It’s survival of the fittest and you’ve won the game if you have Money, Fame, and/or Power! Just 1 on these gives you the right to control poor peoples lives!
You can play the advocate for good all day, but turning a blind eye to the innocent people that are truly in pain by the very people you are advocating for. Who’s the real villain? Saying the people who did nothing deserve it because someone said its poetic revenge... read a book. Get your facts straight, you really think they would attack now? Why didn’t they attack back then? People don’t postpone revenge -_-...
(if I had a grudge against a person, I’d want to get them now, not expect my descendants to attack his descendants. 1. How do I know if they’ll follow through? 2. What if everything is patched up and my other descendants didn’t know that and still desire to take their revenge? (They don’t even know what the whole argument is about... could be about stealing the last slice of pizza) This is about taking over the world just like before! We stopped them once! They’re trying again, however they fooled you!)
So with politics, islamphopia (more like not wanting an ideology of woman haters who desire to take over any free country and turn it to a world of oppression and insanity), racism (a political term used when a white person doesn’t agree with you), feminist (because women are oppressed because they have tits and a vigina), fatphopia (because veggies don’t taste like cake, if they did we’d still become fat, why? Because we’d get sick of sweets and want savory tasting veggies that you only get from cake... oh the irony), LBGT without Q (Queers are just feminist men who are really flamboyant gays... and real gays try to avoid, ever heard the term, “Queer as a Clock work Mouse.” Man I miss my English mother! The LBG, The Les, The Bi, and The Gay, do as you wish... Hey I’m you Bi, I find shapely girls just Be A U Ti Ful to draw, have to get that full body motion. Gays, love ya, best guy friends and you give perfect fashion advice, Lesbians, you’re very easy going and easy to talk to, al yal are A O Kay in my book. Trans, um... look umm... I’m female... I have more of a male mind... we can find common ground here can’t we?) and that’s what I go through everyday. Half the words I’m called... how do they apply to me? Like racist? I judge by character, not by skin tone.
(All I see is another human being in front of me. If you act like you’re above a human being, than I’ll treat you the way you treat me. Not one human is above another. If you have earnt that privilege than you are granted that only by the people who gave you such power, however they have the power to take it away. That is the true purpose of the second Amendment! In short; “a president is a civil servant to the people of his/her country that he/she has sworn to protect! As such nothing is beneath them!”)
I really wish people would do their homework...
My friend I was talking about earlier; well she’s not only getting on my case about finding a job, but she’s also pissing me off about politics. Her plan is to be an American History Teacher. She wants to teach her class how America was founded on the “Socialistic” Principles we use today and that’s bullshit! We wouldn’t have many of our largest company products that I bet everyone of you see every single day, more than likely every minute of your day.
(For Starters:
Let’s start off with Ford, if America was a Socialistic Society, well then all of you who drive a Ford let alone a car in general, would walk everywhere. If it wasn’t for Ford’s Model T being a Successful test run clearing the way to Model A. Ford’s company could only up from there. (Btw: anyone who drives the VMW Bug- just a little trivia for you did you know that the original design was created by Adolf Hitler himself? Adolf Hitler was the original Designer for the shape of that car the VMW Bug, just a little tid pit I know from Graphic Design School, hope that doesn’t ruin your VMW driving experience:D)
Another one I’d like to point out: McDonald’s, that famous Golden Arches fast food places started as a ma and pa rest stop, now it’s one of the biggest fast food chains in the world! Mickey D’s started again in America! Again how is that possible in a Socialistic society?
Socialism is structured to where everyone is equal... equal pay... equal healthcare... equal quality of living... doesn’t count the politicians! In this system if you work you’re an idiot. Those who sit on their ass get everything handed to them, those who work their asses off barely survive. So why bother putting yourself through that much torture. Because:
No one working:
No power
No cable
No doctors
No teachers
No police
No food
No safety
No security...
Why? This would have been a good thing! This here proves Socialism doesn’t work!
If everyone decided to not work because they’re getting ripped off; than America shuts down! The government is screwed! And so are the moochers!)
Those are only two examples of capitalism being a good thing.
There is so much more... not to mention the feminist aspects like Susan B. Anthony: Voicing her “opinion” by voting for who she thought would be a good president. Of course the judge was going to let her off with a warning because “woman privilege” (woman today would be like okay and do it again), however she, Susan B. Anthony, A Real Feminist, (no Feminist is an insult to her, She a Real Woman, The Genuine Wonder Woman!) demanded she was sentenced to jail just like any man who broke the law! (Please oh please can we do that to these modern, pussies who call themselves women!) The first woman to fly a plane over the pacific Amelia, or the women who rose up against unjust treatment Rosa Parks, I mean come on. Worst of all is, she’s being taught tha John Wilkes Booth was Republican and Abraham Lincoln was Democrat... and it’s reversed. There’s a saying the liberals came up with: “if those damn n$&@€ must vote then they should only vote Democrat!”
My friend has become heartless and greedy, I’m in a fucked up spot because of a malicious brat who played innocent and didn’t understand what happens when you compromise. It’s not one side surrenders and the other gains, but what do I expects from the preppy college school type, (not all preppy girls are mean, I just have this personality that sends the wrong vibes and makes them more territorial)AKA mean girl type... however, this girl demanded everything goes her way or else. She’s from Georgia, yet she comes to higher elevation part and in the middle of the US, it’s winter yet she expects sunshine and beaches? All of us to be drinking out of a coconut? Yes, her hair is blonde at the roots, and she smokes pot in the apartment. Kind of gives you a clue on the person she is. Of and her Boy Toy is always there... when I stayed there. She blamed me for her messes, and her food she didn’t eat. Thing is I hate fish. Well another one to count she has a low IQ from the Mercury poisoning... and here I thought fish helped with brain development.
Anyway, it was hell, so my friend volunteered on the condition that I find a job and move out ASAP. I’m tryin as hard as I can here.
Being told no everywhere I go is very discouraging. I’ve made a gofund me campaign to maybe to maybe help a little... I don’t expect anyone to donate really... if anyone could click the link and share it to a friend they know and spread it around.
By February the only place I’ll be staying is my car on the side of the road... just sharing the story helps. Thank you.

How Corporations Manipulate Employees
https://thepowermoves.com/corporate-lies/
This Is How Companies Manipulate Employees (W/ Examples)
Corporations lie and manipulate.
HR lies and manipulates.
And your boss lies and manipulate.
But The Power Moves is on your side. And this article blows the whistle on corporate manipulation, HR lies and bosses’ machinations.
Contents [show]
#1. Employees Matter
This is the most common and most pervasive corporate lie.
There is no HR department in the world that wouldn’t tell you that employees matter. But that doesn’t make it any truer.
Why It’s a Corporate Lie
It’s not employees who matter, it’s the output of the employees that matters (Dan Rust, 2016). Big difference.
Remove the output and the employee becomes a cost. And then you will see how much you really “matter”.
There almost seems a connection between how menial a job is and how much hot air HR spouts about “talent” and “employees’ satisfaction”.
As a student, I had a brief stint in Infosys BPO, and if there is such a thing as “monkey job”, that’s BPO (BPO stands for “business process outsourcing”). And I have never heard as much crap about employees’ talent and skills since my BPO monkey days.
The funniest thing though? The number of people who actually believed the HR lies.
Corporate Manipulation Explained
We all have in-built mechanisms for “social accounting” (law of social exchange) and for reciprocation (Cialdini, 1984).
If the company can make us feel like they care for us, then we must reciprocate to rebalance the account.
And just like that, with a few empty slogans and some discount vouchers, companies turn 9 to 5 captives into happy and loyal corporate flunkies.
The Example: Ray Kroc & McDonald
Ray Krok famously said that your business is only as good as the people you hire. Which, on average, makes sense. Yet, coming from Kroc, it’s the perfect example of how manipulative corporations really are.
This also taken from McDonald’s mission and values:
We provide opportunity, nurture talent, develop leaders and reward achievement.
Of course, facts tell a very different story. McDonald lost countless lawsuits for wage theft and university researches prove that fast food workers earn so little that many of them depend on government welfare to survive (which is the equivalent of saying that taxpayers are subsidizing McDonald’s labor).
There is one McDonald initiative that deserves a special note though. I think the guys at corporate McDonald wanted to take the above Kroc’s quote literally. But instead of elevating their hires to the high-quality company they wanted, they lowered McDonald’s communication to the low wages they offer. And in a colossal brain fart, they offered the following tips to help their minimum wage employees make ends meet:
Return unopened purchases
Break food into pieces to feel fuller
Quit complaining or you only raise your stress hormones’ levels
What a great employer: first gives you a job and then teaches you how to survive with it.
#2. We’re A Team
This is so pervasive that most people even fail to see its manipulative side.
After all, teamwork is important for the success of corporations and individuals alike. But there is a trade-off between the two.
And those who can see the dual nature of the teamwork best position themselves to win the career contest.
Why It’s a Corporate Lie
Albeit there are many good reasons to be team players, there are also many good reasons to be selfish (for more on “public good games” read Thaler, 2015).
But you can’t do well socially by being openly selfish, and that’s why many people fail to realize the deeper truth of the “we’re a team manipulation”.
This is the complete description of team-work for the more astute Machiavellian player:
We’re a team… Of selfish individuals who must hide their selfish drives with teamwork appearances
The most successful political operators indeed play a bit for the team, pretend to play a lot for the team… And they mostly maximize their own interest.
And look at this quote to see that’s not even morally objectionable:
Here is the caveat: the “organizational objective” are, of course, Andrew Carnegie’s objective. And the same is true for every business owner.
When Team Culture Masks Abuse
When the “team culture” is taken to the extreme it can be used as justification to abuse the individual.
The miners complain about dangerous working conditions? It’s not good for the whole Rio Tinto, fire them. The unionists complain of wages too low to live? Not good for Carnegie’s steel company, hire the goons to break the strike.
Ray Dalio also takes an extreme “team first” position in his acclaimed “Principles“, where he basically says that:
What’s good for the whole is good –Ray Dalio
Yet here is the caveat: Ray Dalio is the owner of that whole, which makes him a slightly biased source.
Owners are inherently biased towards the whole because they own the whole.
And what’s good for the whole is not necessarily good for you. As a matter of fact, this “team first” value could easily justify cruelty and abuse towards the individuals (ie.: this class of citizen is bad for the whole: eliminate them).
Here is the same law re-written from a more cynical point of view:
What’s good for the whole is good for the owner –The Power Moves
Corporate Manipulation Explained
Group selection is controversial in evolutionary psychology (Pinker, 2012) but, from an organizational point of view, it’s fair to assume that groups with selfless individuals outperform groups where individuals pursue more selfish strategies (Sloan, 2007).
And that’s exactly what organizations angle for when they impose team values.
The manipulation of the teamwork value is to remove the selfish incentives which might be good for the individual but which are bad for the company.
Organizations with 100% selfless individuals increase the organization’s overall returns. The whole -and the owner- wins, but it’s all to be seen whether or not the individual also benefits from a selfless strategy.
The question then becomes whether the corporation will be nice enough to return the favor and share the spoils. But often, it’s a very small trickle.
Example: Howard Schulz & Starbucks
My favorite example of the team manipulation is Howard Schulz, founder of Starbucks and author of “Onward“.
In “Onward” Schulz makes a big show of loving his people.
Schulz was in so much pain for having to fire his beloved staffers. You know, for Howard they were family.
Yet, he did do fire a whole bunch of them. And then did it again.
#3. We’re A Dream Team
In the overzealous efforts of celebrating victories and hiding defeats management loves to gush how great the team has done.
And people love it too: everyone wants to be a dream player part of a dream team.
Why It’s a Corporate Lie
The “we’re so great” corporate BS is common. Yet dream teams are, by definition, a minority.
Simple math then tells us that most execs are lying with the “great team talk”.
But why would you listen to condescending execs? Here is a quick litmus test:
It’s only a dream team if everyone’s on a dream salary
If you are at around market salary, then you’re a pawn (or, at least, HR used manipulative negotiation techniques for your salary).
Corporate Manipulation Explained
Research has proven that attribution is a highly effective technique to improve performance (Miller, 1975).
That means that people tend to rise to the level of expectations, so so it pays off for the owners to build people up (also read Carnegie’s classic “How to Win Friends and Influence People“).
The Example: Pixar & Ed Catmull
Ed Catmull is the former CEO of Pixar and author of Creativity Inc.
Catmull prided himself on having institutionalized creativity. His job, he said, was to hire the best talent and remove the barriers to creativity.
I quote him:
What is the point of hiring smart people if you don’t empower them to fix what’s broken?
Probably Catmull didn’t think his employees’ salary needed any fixing and he took it upon himself to ensure their wages stayed below market value.
Catmull insists he did it for the “long term good of the company”. What a real leader!
Jesse: This isn’t a family! This is a prison! You’re a liar and a bully!
Jesse in Toy Story 3 might have as well addressed his creators’ CEO.
#4. We’re A Family
This is the advanced manipulation level of “we’re a team” and you can see it more often in early-stage startups.
Shared values, field trips, drinking together and, of course, “changing the world together”.
Part of the “we’re a family manipulation” include:
Using inclusive names for low-level employees (ie.: “partners” for baristas in Starbucks and “associates” for Walmart)
Management’s big show of openness (ie.: open door policies)
Informal attires and titles (“ninja”, “hacker”, “customer happiness”)
BTW, about the latter, if you want to test start-up open-mindedness, try to go to work with a suit and see what happens.
Why It’s a Corporate Lie
You can change titles, clothes or keep your door open, but the fundamentals dynamics of power don’t change. And the power dynamics in companies have nothing in common with families.
One above all: bosses fire employees. Families don’t fire family members.
Corporate Manipulation Explained
The manipulation here arches back to evolutionary psychology: we are all hardwired to break our backs for our families (Robert Wright, 1994).
And that’s what corporations are trying to do: entice in their (disposable) employees the same level of belonging that they have for their families.
Of course, the biggest beneficiaries of this games are owners, CEOs and company leaders. As a rule of thumb, the higher the manager, the bigger his incentive to play the family card (and the more likely it is that it’s all a big lie).
Example: Peter Thiel & Mafia
It’s probably not a coincidence that the mafia calls itself “la famiglia” in an effort to evoke a superior sense of belonging from its members.
And, somewhat misguidedly, Peter Thiel in “Zero to One” recommends founders to seek a culture that resembles a cult or a mafia.
Remember this: when an owner says the organization comes first, they are telling you that you are expendable.
So watch out for those “family” talk because family-first organizations require lots of sacrificial lambs on the altar of profit.
#5. We Wanna Change The World
In the era of “Start With WHY” nobody is out to win and succeed. Nobody wants the limelight because of their narcissistic tendencies.
And God forbid if any entrepreneur wants to make money.
No, today everyone wants to change the world or, in millennia’s parlance, “want to make an impact”.
Why It’s a Corporate Lie
This is so widespread today that it’s either we all turned into transcendental creatures… Or someone is lying.
Tai Lopez, for example, wants to help people (and not finance his fetish for sportscars). And even Elizabeth Holmes, the fraudster CEO of Theranos, said that it’s not about the money but the vision.
Corporate Manipulation Explained
Solid psychology research tells us that intrinsic motivators like higher goals and ideals can drive people more powerfully than extrinsic motivators such as money and benefits (Daniel Pink, 2011).
That’s great news for employers, who are now all busy concocting grand visions to help the world.
It seems to work especially well millennials, a generation packed with well-meaning simpletons who seek to “make a positive impact” (what does that even mean?).
What a win-win! Stephen Covey would be proud. The employers win. And the manipulated employees feel like they’ve won.
The Example: Bill Gates & Microsoft
Bill Gates vision was that of a “PC in every desk and in every home” to make the world more productive.
And today Bill Gates cures diseases to make the world a better place with his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
I am grateful for Gates’ work, but it’s rare that you will meet any dominant business leader who’s not ruthless and cunning. And Gates is no exception.
Several memoirs of business leaders who competed against Microsoft (like Ben Horowitz) show how Bill Gates went out of his way to squash his competitors. And he certainly fell out of the law when he settled for Microsoft’s abuse of monopoly power.
And, like pretty much all corporations, he does his best to avoid taxes:
If someone’s gonna cure malaria, Gates wants to make sure it’s him and not the government.
#6. “It’s Not About Me, The Owner”
“It’s about you, guys”.
You will see the self-effacing manipulation with very charismatic or very powerful founders who tend to hog all the attention.
What they do then is to play the self-effacing game to avoid being branded like the power-hungry and narcissist individuals they probably are.
There are two types of self-effacing manipulation:
“it’s not about me, it’s about the vision”
“it’s not about me, it’s about the people”
Why It’s a CEO Lie
People who become CEOs and work all the time are usually highly driven to succeed, win and dominate.
Sure, some of them also have a vision which includes others, but it all starts with the self.
Elizabeth Holmes, our example of self-effacing business leader, wrote at 9 years old she wanted to discover “something that mankind didn’t think it was possible to do”. That’s not the behavioral cue of modesty. That’s the cue of unbridled personal ambition.
Corporate Manipulation Explained
The self-effacing manipulator aims at becoming a transcendental type of leader.
Indeed the archetypes of the self-effacing leaders are often found in pro-social religions. Jesus Christ was a self-effacing leader who not only sought no (apparent) credit but literally carried the cross for all his disciples.
How can we not love the leaders that do it all for us? They almost seem to good to be true.
Well, turns out, some are too good to be true!
Similar self-effacing figures in popular folklore are Robin Hood, Don Quixote and Che Guevara who, on paper, fought for the people.
Example: Theranos & Elizabeth Holmes
Listen to how Holmes self-effaces:
Elizabeth Holmes: We have a belief system that it is not about us or about technology but about giving people a basic right
Little later people found out that Holmes defrauded not only investors and partners, but also the patients whom she so touchingly wanted to help.
If you have read “Bad Blood“, then you know that Holmes was possibly a sociopath or psychopath. Yet the deeper question here is: is she an exception or is she just the most blatant example?
#7. We Care About The Environment
In this day and age, it’s not about the shareholders anymore. It’s all about stakeholders and society at large.
Here are the stakeholders:
Employees
Customers
Society
Environment
The last one is particularly popular today. Even fossil fuel companies joined the (green) party:
Corporate Manipulation Explained
Companies care about profits. And since these days showing an environment-friendly facade helps to sell well, companies have adapted.
Needless to say, that facade is often more marketing than facts.
As this European Commission study shows, 60% of shoppers prefer to buy environment-friendly products, but corporate information is so misleading that, I quote:
European consumers are not able to make an informed choice (of what’s real or fake environment-friendly).
Where Is The Manipulation
Same as consumers, employees want to feel like they are good and caring human beings. Cognitive dissonance (Festinger, 1957) then dictates that working for unethical companies would make them feel bad.
So companies feed employees just what they want to hear (ie.: the goody-good ethical hypocrisy).
Example: Phil Knight & Nike
Phil Knight in his memoirs “Shoe Dog” says that he rented sweatshops “just like any other business did”.
And then he adds that they went after him because Nike provided a better target. Which is the equivalent of saying:
Everyone was a POS so I thought it was OK to be a POS and now everyone is on my case becuase I’m famous
Knight is a bit reminiscent of “I was just following orders” there.
In “Shoe Dog” Phil Knight also prided himself of treating his sponsor athletes “like real people” and not as a conduit to earn more. Nice! We could have only wished he gave the same respect to the kids in the sweatshops.
#8. We Are Driven By Values
Every single company today lists values and beliefs. And they always sound so good and inspiring, don’t they?
Why It’s a Corporate Lie
An organization is an inanimate construct, it has no values in and on itself.
The values you read are either the ones that the founder liked most -which rarely means he embodies them himself- or the values he believes better serve the business.
So values are either there because the founder wishes he had them, or because they’re good for the bottom line.
Corporate Manipulation Explained
The famous Maslow’s hierarchy of needs shows that when our most basic needs are met we all strive for higher ideals.
Company’s values appeal to our higher selves and have three objectives:
Feed the hypocrisy to make employees feel good
Nudging people towards pro-social behavior which are good for the organization
Seek to increase the feeling of homogeneity among members.
The last one is interesting. If we believe we share similar values, it means we’re alike. And since we like people who are like us (Cialdini, 1984), you become a better team player (again, good for the corporation).
Case Study: Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs, the most successful, competitive and (in)famous Wall Street investment bank lists among its core values“integrity”, “honesty” and ” putting their clients’ interests first”.
How surprising to find out that Goldman’s bankers internally referred to clients as “muppets”. How even more surprising that a few years prior Goldman Sachs settled a 550 million fine with SEC regulators for, in fact, swindling their clients with the cr@ppy subprime CDOs which fueled the financial crisis.
What Machiavellian Bankers Show Us
Goldman Sachs employees’ survey shows that none of the employees picked transparency and integrity as the highest value and they all picked “teamwork and winning”. Nice move to put “teamwork” next to “winning” LOL (“How to Lie With Statistics“, anyone?).
GS shows that in an environment of selfish Machiavellis people know the rule:
Pay lip service to the higher ideals and focus on amassing resources.
#9. We Win Together – Or Lose Together
Businesses love to talk up and celebrate “team victories”.
And often you win and lose together, that’s true.
But the consequences of wins and losses look very different for owners, CEOs, and employees.
Why It’s a Corporate Lie
When the team loses the CEO gets a golden handshake and you get the sack.
When the “team” wins, the big shareholders get the cash and you get a pat on the back, a pittance and a useless corporate party that will steal even more of your personal time.
Corporate Manipulation Explained
Much social psychology research shows that men become more risk-seeking and prone to rioting when they feel like they are not given an equal chance in life (Hopkins, 2013).
But people on top don’t like unrest and risk-taking men and they’d rather have an obedient and submissive workforce.
When they say you all win together, they are trying to pre-emptively stave off all thoughts of unfairness to make you feel you’re all on the same boat.
Example: Walmart & Sam Walton
Sam Walton was a ruthless money-grubber. Until, he says in his memoirs “Made in America“, he had a revelation while traveling in England.
Walton decided Walmart would consider its employees as associates and would let them part of the company’s success through stock-sharing options.
Wow! How nice what Walton says.
Critics, who also have facts on their side, are not nearly as celebratory. Walmart paid 352 million to settle 63 lawsuits over wages, including forcing employees to work off the clock.
And Walmart employees are so poorly compensated that the state of California alone pays them $86 million a year in financial subsidies and food stamps.
Maybe money can’t buy you love, but Walmart employee’s stock options can’t even buy you food.
#10. Us (Good) VS Them (Bad)
The outgroup manipulation is most obvious in military units and dictatorships the whole world over, but company leaders are no strangers to it.
It consists of depicting the competitors (outgroup) as “bad”, “unfair” or “undeserving” and us (ingroup) as “good”, “just” and “deserving of victory”.
Corporate Manipulation Explained
A world where evil is 100% evil and good is 100% good would be a much simpler world. But unluckily, we don’t live in that world (Baumeister, 2010).
And of course, the implied game here is that by “winning” you restore the world to what’s just and fair.
But guess what? The owner profits from that new world order. While chances are that you get zilch when the company’s market share increases to N.2 instead of N.3.
Where Is The Manipulation
The ingroup-outgroup is a well-known sociological principle (see Tajfel, 1970) and this is how corporations gain by creating this social dynamic:
With a hostile outgroup, people feel a bigger sense of belonging
With the competitive mindset derived from ingroup/outgroup, employees will work harder
The worse you frame the competitors, the easier to justify unethical, immoral and violent actions
Example: Jocko Willink & US Military
Number 3 above is why you see the “enemy mindset” so obviously in the military.
Here is what Leif Babin, co-author of Extreme Ownership, says about the “Iraqi insurgents” (italic is mine):
Our snipers killed a lot of bad guys and received many well-deserved accolades for it
“Bad guys”, says the officer from the invading army.
It might not be a coincidence that business-speak borrows so much military jargon, and I recommend you reject that “bad enemies” frame at all times.
A Note On The Danger of Social Identities
Ingroup – Outgroup lead to social identities, such as people defining themselves not as individuals but as groups.
I find social identities potentially toxic and dangerous as they are major drivers behind jingoism, hooliganism, wars and general aggression and unneeded hatred.
I will cut it short here, but the potential toxicity of social identities is why I always invite in my reviews to reject:
Tribalist ideologies (“Tribe“, “The Way of Men“);
Misogynist ideologies pitching men against women (Toxic masculinity)
Toxic feminist ideologies pitching women against men (“The Power of The Pussy“, “Lean In” etc.)
Sometimes the most pro-social stance you can adopt is through a massive dose of individualism. –The Power Moves
#11. Appeals To Higher Ideals
The advanced level of the “values manipulation” are the appeals to higher and abstract ideals.
Appeals to higher ideals on more fragile minds can even lead to self-sacrifice and death. You can see these more often in more extreme organizations such as military, sects, hate groups, etc.
Higher ideals include:
Unity & brotherhood
Honor
Loyalty
Motherland
Why It’s a Corporate Lie
Don’t even make me start on this. In corporations, you work overtime for… For what exactly?
In the military, you give your life for an ideal and your family -or mangled you- gets a badge in exchange.
What a great deal.
But hey, you sacrifice yourself knowing that somewhere there is someone who handsomely profited from your sacrifice.
Corporate Manipulation Explained
There are two types of higher ideals manipulation:
Leveraging people’s tendencies to believe in mystic or religious promises of after-death (Charles Manson, Bin Laden etc.)
Leveraging evolutionary tendencies to defend the group (discussed earlier)
It might not be a coincidence that countries and ships’ names have female names. So, you know, it’s easier to inebriate young men into giving their lives to protect “their” women (yeah, sure…).
Case Study: Best-Selling Navy SEALs
Examples of higher ideals can often be seen in all organizations that require big sacrifices from their team members.
The bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the ideals (and the ougroup, see above).
Writes Jocko Willink in “The Dichotomy of Leadership“:
The wounded SEAL’s grip on my hand tightened and he pulled me in (…). Not scared (..) that he might lose his leg. Only concerned he might have to leave our task unit.
Task Unit Bruiser. Our task unit. Our Lives.
This was a man. This was a true friend -a brother-. This was a hero. Young, brave, and more concerned for his friends than for his own life.
There you go. This guy about to lose his leg doesn’t even have a name. That’s how much he mattered. But hey, now his name is “hero”.
But you only need to put a wider lens to see a much different story of this “hero” and the great team he got a bullet for.
How about the “hero” being part of an invading force which some professional propagandist span as a “war for freedom”? And the team he got a bullet for as the fat cats getting rich on his behalf in the oil and arms’ industries?
#12. Appeals To Death-Defying Goals
Some of the most powerful values one can summon are transcendental.
Appeals to eternity leverage our unconscious wish of transcending the psychical world, contributing to something eternal. Few are frank enough to admit it because, unconsciously, they know how narcissistic that would sound. But death-defying values are all about “being remembered forever”.
The “making an impact” that we saw earlier is an example of an appeal to eternity. When we “make an impact” we leave a mark in the world and in the universe. And we keep living on.
Some appeals to eternity are:
“Changing the world”
Disrupting
“Moonshots” (see popular speaker Peter Diamandis)
Anything that’s “never been done before”
Working on the “biggest / most advanced” project etc.
Why It’s a Corporate Lie
I can tell you with almost complete certainty that no human being will ever be remembered forever.
And the idea of “changing the world” is ludicrous. The world changes anyway, and any changes are nothing but transitions.
In short, the goal of “being remembered forever” is not only aggressively narcissistic, but it’s also plain stupid.
And no, that’s not sad. Quite the opposite: it’s empowering and liberating (and it helps you break free of manipulative leaders).
Corporate Manipulation Explained
We are the only animals on this planet who are aware of our own mortality. That must impact our psychology and behavior somehow, and terror management theory is a branch of social psychology researching exactly that.
TMT has received its fair share of criticism, but it has passed laboratory scrutiny (Burke et al., 2010) and it’s solid science.
TMT It postulates that the conflict between self-preservation and our cognition of death pushes us to unconsciously pursue values, ideals, and goals that make us transcend the physical realm.
Burkeman in “The Antidote” says that people primed with subtle reminders of death:
Prefer charismatic leaders (Cohen et al., 2014)
Supports group-affirming values (Cohen et al., 2005)
Seek stronger punishments for “culturally amoral” (Rosenblatt, 1989)
There you have it: seek a charismatic leader, defend the group and punish outsiders. The definition of a sect.
And that’s what why conservative leaders also leverage the fear of physical harm and death: it rallies the troops behind the (supposedly) strong and charismatic politicians (Bush the Vietnam war’s skirter in military uniform, anyone?).
These are all behaviors that corporations would be happy with. Act like a sect, follow the leader and give your all… For eternity -and for the founders’ more physical income-.
TMT theory has been used to explain the birth and persistence of religions. And that’s why, in many ways, No Logo author Naomi Klein was quite right and prescient when she said that the best brands are the new religions (brain scans confirmed it too, eventually).
Example: Steve Jobs & Elon Musk
Steve Jobs was the master of this corporate manipulation.
Everything about Jobs was about “changing the world”, “making an impact” and “putting a dent in the universe” (he actually said that).
By reflection, people who joined Apple as employees were also part of that “universe dent”. They also “changed the world” and they all put in their (futile) claim to eternity.
Elon Musk also leverages appeals to eternity. The whole spiel on “making us an interplanetary species” is a big moonshot at “making history”. And people really get stupid trying to join Musk’s team. That’s the power of the charismatic, death-defying leader.
Do All Business Leaders Lie?
So the answer to this one is “the vast majority lies, yes”. But that doesn’t really tell us anything because the very human nature of maximizing one’s own returns lead most humans to be natural manipulators (Wright, “The Moral Animal“).
Better questions would be:
Do corporations take manipulations to a higher level?
By their own very organized structure and by virtue of the people they tend to attract to leadership roles, corporations do indeed manipulate much better and much more effectively than individuals.
Do all corporations abuse employees?
This is an easy one to answer: no, not all businesses abuse employees.
At least not beyond what most people would consider a “fair” and “non-abusive” exchange.
However, many do. And many more will try unless you stay vigilant.
Should employees be wary of their own organizations?
There is a natural, opposing duality in the relationship between organizations and employees.
Both can be better off cooperating with a fair 50/50 split fo the pie.
But, like in a public goods game, either one -but not both- can be much better off by taking more of the pie and short-changing everyone else.
The human tendency is to always take a bit more and give a bit less,  without exaggerating too much (see various experiments of ultimatum games). But some bad apples, of course, will try to take much more and give much less.
Employees must be aware of this potentially adversarial relationship.
Do leaders roles go to the worst of humans?
No, not necessarily.
Driven men are the men who move the world forward. Without them, we’d be still stuck in stone-age. We need driven people.
But there is definitely a dark side to it which entails the potential for abuse.
A case could be made that powerful business roles attract personalities that are most likely to centralize power, hog resources and do anything that’s needed to reach their goal (including trampling employees).
George Simon, Author of  the wonderful “In Sheep’s Clothing” says:
CEOs like who they are and are comfortable with their behavior patterns and how they act. Even though their behavior might bother others a lot. (…) CEOs are undetered by adverse consequences or societal condemnation.
And indeed Travis Bradberry‘s data shows that emotional intelligence increases in mid-level managers but decreases with execs and CEOs.
This all might point to an even deeper question: is it even moral to work for corporations?
The Morality of Corporations Over Individuals
This is what we gleaned so far:
Many CEOs care little about others
Yet corporate manipulation is about getting individuals to forego their self-interest for the group
Let’s be clear about something: getting people to care more about the group can be a very good thing. It’s, after all, the basis of our societies. It’s also the basis of transformational leadership (Burns, 1978) and it can be used for good also in corporations.
But it can also be used for dark and/or purely selfish reasons without any benefit for the individual.
Whether it’s used for good or of the founders’ personal gains hinges on how the leaders reward the individuals for foregoing the self in favor of the organization. I don’t know the specifics of your company and it’s your responsibility to judge your own company.
And I underline “responsibility”.
So take a hard look. What’s behind your company’s slogans and values?
And don’t forget to contribute
Finally, lemme clarify that this article is not an encouragement to expect a salary without giving back.
Expecting strangers to care for you without giving back is the definition of free-loading -and one of the worst examples of entitlement mentality-.
My recommendation is that you focus on giving while critically observing your work environment and assertively demanding a fair balance of give and take.
If you don’t see a fair environment or if your fair demands are not met, then consider you might be doing something better with your time.
SUMMARY
Organizations have a tendency to manipulate employees into dropping their selfish interests in favor of the group’s interest.
That’s not always necessarily wrong.
But it’s usually the case that the company gains by promoting pro-social behavior while the employee does not always gain in equal measure.
This article encourages you to critically assess your company and to look at the reality of things beyond corporate lies and HR manipulations.

It’s also very good for muscles and just so many other things, read our reviews and check them out for yourself, you will be shocked.

RAW ORGANIC GRASS FED WHEY PROTEIN is superior to organic whey protein isolate because it preserves the micro-factors and co-nutrients present in the milk such as healthy fats, calcium, and potassium.
Pros
does not have Soy, flavoring or additives
has nearly no taste at all- if you put it in water, it tastes like water. If you put it in almond milk, it tastes like almond milk, and so on and sooo fourth!
put some bananas, strawberries, ice the powder, blend it , (btw- here is an awesome blender for making whey protein shakes and it comes with Two 16 oz. Nutri Ninja Cups with To-Go Lids-and it’s free shipping!) – it will keep you full for a solid 4 to 5 hours
Cons
if you are looking for this whey to have a taste, this is not the flavor you want. Basically this has no taste at all, it is going to be the ingredients you add to it that are going to create the taste for you . And for some , I am sure that is a pro, but for some, con.
Verdict
We really love first off all, it is grass fed, it does not have soy, and the fact for us, that there was no taste, rocks! I personally like adding strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, you name it pretty much and not having my whey protein alter that taste. So what was said above, if you aren’t looking for your whey protein to have a taste, and be healthy , this is your whey protein-if you are looking for a whey to have a flavor to it, they do carry other flavors than this. And you can see them Here.   Also check out the coupon codes below.

Features
ONLY ONE INGREDIENT: 100% Grass Fed Pure Whey Protein with zero additives. Naked Whey no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free.
ALL NATURAL WHEY: Our Grass Fed Whey is sourced from small dairy farms in California to bring you a non-denatured whey packed full of essential amino acids, clean protein and glutathione.
MAXIMUM NUTRITION: 25g of Protein, 2g of Sugar, 3g of Carbs, 120 Calories, and 5.9g of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) per serving.
COLD PROCESSED: Unlike most whey protein powders, Naked Whey is cold processed to ensure zero contamination from chemical detergents (no acid or bleach), synthetic additives, or heavy metals, and this maintains important naturally occurring growth factors.

Pros
no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free
zero contamination from chemical detergents (no acid or bleach), synthetic additives, or heavy metals
not flavored or sweetened
Cons
it is not certified organic But the manufacture was emailed and asked about this, : Here is the response: Hello, To certify a food item as organic requires a lot of time and expense on the part of our farmers, and this expense would lead to a product that is over twice as expensive. Our farmers have decided to not go through the process, but we assure you that it is the closest you can get to certified organic. Our cows are never injected with any growth hormones, they are only given antibiotics in dire circumstances, and they feed on pastures that have not been treated with pesticides or non-organic fertilizers
Verdict
We really like this product, we understand that it is not certified organic, but the explanation they gave was good enough for us. It makes sense for a smaller company to not want to pay those costs, we do personally know farmers and they told us the same thing how expensive it is to become 100% certified organic and it doenst mean that they aren’t its just a lot of extra equipment they need to buy that drives up the costs. I would not make that a deciding factor because there are so many great benefits this whey offers. For instance: 
We Love that it is free of heavy metal, because we all know the effects to the brain heavy metals cause, a.d.d. you name it. Also no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free…There are very few that we found that can claim this.

has nearly no taste at all- if you put it in water, it tastes like water. If you put it in almond milk, it tastes like almond milk, and so on and sooo fourth!
put some bananas, strawberries, ice the powder, blend it , (btw- here is an awesome blender for making whey protein shakes and it comes with Two 16 oz. Nutri Ninja Cups with To-Go Lids-and it’s free shipping!) – it will keep you full for a solid 4 to 5 hours
Cons
if you are looking for this whey to have a taste, this is not the flavor you want. Basically this has no taste at all, it is going to be the ingredients you add to it that are going to create the taste for you . And for some , I am sure that is a pro, but for some, con.
Verdict
We really love first off all, it is grass fed, it does not have soy, and the fact for us, that there was no taste, rocks! I personally like adding strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, you name it pretty much and not having my whey protein alter that taste. So what was said above, if you aren’t looking for your whey protein to have a taste, and be healthy , this is your whey protein-if you are looking for a whey to have a flavor to it, they do carry other flavors than this. And you can see them Here.   Also check out the coupon codes below.

Features
ONLY ONE INGREDIENT: 100% Grass Fed Pure Whey Protein with zero additives. Naked Whey no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free.
ALL NATURAL WHEY: Our Grass Fed Whey is sourced from small dairy farms in California to bring you a non-denatured whey packed full of essential amino acids, clean protein and glutathione.
MAXIMUM NUTRITION: 25g of Protein, 2g of Sugar, 3g of Carbs, 120 Calories, and 5.9g of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) per serving.
COLD PROCESSED: Unlike most whey protein powders, Naked Whey is cold processed to ensure zero contamination from chemical detergents (no acid or bleach), synthetic additives, or heavy metals, and this maintains important naturally occurring growth factors.

Pros
no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free
zero contamination from chemical detergents (no acid or bleach), synthetic additives, or heavy metals
not flavored or sweetened
Cons
it is not certified organic But the manufacture was emailed and asked about this, : Here is the response: Hello, To certify a food item as organic requires a lot of time and expense on the part of our farmers, and this expense would lead to a product that is over twice as expensive. Our farmers have decided to not go through the process, but we assure you that it is the closest you can get to certified organic. Our cows are never injected with any growth hormones, they are only given antibiotics in dire circumstances, and they feed on pastures that have not been treated with pesticides or non-organic fertilizers
Verdict
We really like this product, we understand that it is not certified organic, but the explanation they gave was good enough for us. It makes sense for a smaller company to not want to pay those costs, we do personally know farmers and they told us the same thing how expensive it is to become 100% certified organic and it doenst mean that they aren’t its just a lot of extra equipment they need to buy that drives up the costs. I would not make that a deciding factor because there are so many great benefits this whey offers. For instance: 
We Love that it is free of heavy metal, because we all know the effects to the brain heavy metals cause, a.d.d. you name it. Also no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free…There are very few that we found that can claim this.

RAW ORGANIC GRASS FED WHEY PROTEIN is superior to organic whey protein isolate because it preserves the micro-factors and co-nutrients present in the milk such as healthy fats, calcium, and potassium.
Pros
does not have Soy, flavoring or additives
has nearly no taste at all- if you put it in water, it tastes like water. If you put it in almond milk, it tastes like almond milk, and so on and sooo fourth!
put some bananas, strawberries, ice the powder, blend it , (btw- here is an awesome blender for making whey protein shakes and it comes with Two 16 oz. Nutri Ninja Cups with To-Go Lids-and it’s free shipping!) – it will keep you full for a solid 4 to 5 hours
Cons
if you are looking for this whey to have a taste, this is not the flavor you want. Basically this has no taste at all, it is going to be the ingredients you add to it that are going to create the taste for you . And for some , I am sure that is a pro, but for some, con.
Verdict
We really love first off all, it is grass fed, it does not have soy, and the fact for us, that there was no taste, rocks! I personally like adding strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, you name it pretty much and not having my whey protein alter that taste. So what was said above, if you aren’t looking for your whey protein to have a taste, and be healthy , this is your whey protein-if you are looking for a whey to have a flavor to it, they do carry other flavors than this. And you can see them Here.   Also check out the coupon codes below.

Features
ONLY ONE INGREDIENT: 100% Grass Fed Pure Whey Protein with zero additives. Naked Whey no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free.
ALL NATURAL WHEY: Our Grass Fed Whey is sourced from small dairy farms in California to bring you a non-denatured whey packed full of essential amino acids, clean protein and glutathione.
MAXIMUM NUTRITION: 25g of Protein, 2g of Sugar, 3g of Carbs, 120 Calories, and 5.9g of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) per serving.
COLD PROCESSED: Unlike most whey protein powders, Naked Whey is cold processed to ensure zero contamination from chemical detergents (no acid or bleach), synthetic additives, or heavy metals, and this maintains important naturally occurring growth factors.

Pros
no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free
zero contamination from chemical detergents (no acid or bleach), synthetic additives, or heavy metals
not flavored or sweetened
Cons
it is not certified organic But the manufacture was emailed and asked about this, : Here is the response: Hello, To certify a food item as organic requires a lot of time and expense on the part of our farmers, and this expense would lead to a product that is over twice as expensive. Our farmers have decided to not go through the process, but we assure you that it is the closest you can get to certified organic. Our cows are never injected with any growth hormones, they are only given antibiotics in dire circumstances, and they feed on pastures that have not been treated with pesticides or non-organic fertilizers
Verdict
We really like this product, we understand that it is not certified organic, but the explanation they gave was good enough for us. It makes sense for a smaller company to not want to pay those costs, we do personally know farmers and they told us the same thing how expensive it is to become 100% certified organic and it doenst mean that they aren’t its just a lot of extra equipment they need to buy that drives up the costs. I would not make that a deciding factor because there are so many great benefits this whey offers. For instance: 
We Love that it is free of heavy metal, because we all know the effects to the brain heavy metals cause, a.d.d. you name it. Also no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free…There are very few that we found that can claim this.

It’s also very good for muscles and just so many other things, read our reviews and check them out for yourself, you will be shocked.

Our paleo and keto friendly whey is gluten free, soy free, antibiotic free, rGBH/rBST hormone free, and contains no artificial flavors, no so-called “natural flavors”, no artificial sweeteners and no GMOs.

SUPERIOR STANDARDS: Levels Whey Protein is undenatured and undergoes cold process micro-filtration to protect bioactivity and naturally occurring growth factors.

Perfect taste and no clumps

Our paleo and keto friendly whey is gluten free, soy free, antibiotic free, rGBH/rBST hormone free, and contains no artificial flavors, no so-called “natural flavors”, no artificial sweeteners and no GMOs.

Features
ONLY ONE INGREDIENT: 100% Grass Fed Pure Whey Protein with zero additives. Naked Whey no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free.
ALL NATURAL WHEY: Our Grass Fed Whey is sourced from small dairy farms in California to bring you a non-denatured whey packed full of essential amino acids, clean protein and glutathione.
MAXIMUM NUTRITION: 25g of Protein, 2g of Sugar, 3g of Carbs, 120 Calories, and 5.9g of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) per serving.
COLD PROCESSED: Unlike most whey protein powders, Naked Whey is cold processed to ensure zero contamination from chemical detergents (no acid or bleach), synthetic additives, or heavy metals, and this maintains important naturally occurring growth factors.
THE PERFECT WORKOUT PARTNER: Create pre and post workout whey shakes, smoothies and recipes to take your muscle gains and recovery to new heights.
Pros
no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free
zero contamination from chemical detergents (no acid or bleach), synthetic additives, or heavy metals
not flavored or sweetened
Cons
it is not certified organic But the manufacture was emailed and asked about this, : Here is the response: Hello, To certify a food item as organic requires a lot of time and expense on the part of our farmers, and this expense would lead to a product that is over twice as expensive. Our farmers have decided to not go through the process, but we assure you that it is the closest you can get to certified organic. Our cows are never injected with any growth hormones, they are only given antibiotics in dire circumstances, and they feed on pastures that have not been treated with pesticides or non-organic fertilizers
Verdict
We really like this product, we understand that it is not certified organic, but the explanation they gave was good enough for us. It makes sense for a smaller company to not want to pay those costs, we do personally know farmers and they told us the same thing how expensive it is to become 100% certified organic and it doenst mean that they aren’t its just a lot of extra equipment they need to buy that drives up the costs. I would not make that a deciding factor because there are so many great benefits this whey offers. For instance: 
We Love that it is free of heavy metal, because we all know the effects to the brain heavy metals cause, a.d.d. you name it. Also no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free…There are very few that we found that can claim this.

zero contamination from chemical detergents (no acid or bleach), synthetic additives, or heavy metals
not flavored or sweetened
Cons
it is not certified organic But the manufacture was emailed and asked about this, : Here is the response: Hello, To certify a food item as organic requires a lot of time and expense on the part of our farmers, and this expense would lead to a product that is over twice as expensive. Our farmers have decided to not go through the process, but we assure you that it is the closest you can get to certified organic. Our cows are never injected with any growth hormones, they are only given antibiotics in dire circumstances, and they feed on pastures that have not been treated with pesticides or non-organic fertilizers
Verdict
We really like this product, we understand that it is not certified organic, but the explanation they gave was good enough for us. It makes sense for a smaller company to not want to pay those costs, we do personally know farmers and they told us the same thing how expensive it is to become 100% certified organic and it doenst mean that they aren’t its just a lot of extra equipment they need to buy that drives up the costs. I would not make that a deciding factor because there are so many great benefits this whey offers. For instance: 
We Love that it is free of heavy metal, because we all know the effects to the brain heavy metals cause, a.d.d. you name it. Also no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors and is GMO-Free, Growth Hormone Free, Soy Free and Gluten-Free…There are very few that we found that can claim this.
