Power move

My mom used to do faux decorative wall painting for rich clients. They would pick a sample and she would paint the walls to match but she found that they often complained after the work was done, even when it was exactly what they wanted.

She ended up getting a spray bottle with water that had a bit of food coloring and called it a “toning layer” that she would spray on the wall. It didn’t change anything but it made the clients think their feedback mattered, she said it almost always worked and they’d be elated afterwards.

For me and my wife it’s a topic we bring up constantly throughout the year. Keep making suggestions and refining the ideas. Then October comes and of course he haven’t written anything down so we completely forget all our ideas.

Then two weeks before Halloween we say “ok we’re need to get costumes. It’s close”. Then we’ll come up with a very elaborate idea that we both know won’t happen, but we agree anyways.

Then 2 days before Halloween we check Amazon/spirit Halloween and do our best surprised Pikachu face when all the good costumes are gone or need more than 1 day to deliver and we end up settling on something dumb and get angry.

Repeat next year for some reason.

Same, it's pretty maddening. I want to stop hearing about stuff that's going to deteriorate my general health but at the same time I don't want to be blindsided by all the stuff that will have a legitimate impact on my life.

It's all so insanely stupid and I'm so tired of him getting away with all the bullshit without even trying. Feels like the whole government is just his condom puppets that say yes to his every whim and just allow him to fuck over the country
