He's a DC cop, and he wants me to push my psychology major in a direction that will allow me to get into bed with federal law enforcement and get him some friends in high places. He's painting it as a "Father and son team."
This is after he left my mother stranded in Los Angeles and tied up the courts so she had to settle for shuttling me across the country every few months for my whole life.
So your dad is trying to get you thrown in jail for corruption.
Brilliant.
This is why it's nice that the primary bond between me and my dad is that we're incredibly honest people.
I bonded with my dad over sports and JAY-SUS!!! But not really. But actually kinda mostly.

Oboro may have some problems to sort through, but she is not stupid.
So comparing jes is a to Oboro is kind of dumb.
Half of Oboro's problem at this point is her guilt. She becomes jealous and obsessive over small things, makes them into big things, which become big mistakes, and then beats herself up for it later. She would do well to not constantly occupy her enviably robust intellect with self-analysis, since she often comes to realize the correct course of action, shorts out, and does the complete opposite. Jes does not seem to suffer from an overabundance of self-awareness.

How many east coasters are there that'd be able to come down to Atlanta anyways?
I think Elki's close-ish, then there's Bama, FirstComradeStalin who lives inside Atlanta as well of a few others, but FCS hasn't been around for a while. Also he annoyed me.

I'd drive down from southern KY, it's about 5 hours.
How is that distinguished from regular schnitzel with lemon juice on it?
I thought schnitzel was just breaded veal?
More like pork choppish cuts of pork pounded thin and breaded, then pan-fried.
I mean, schnitzel can be made with any meat, but traditionally it's done with pork, because the Germans do a lot with pigs.
Ahh, I thought I was making a deviation from schnitzel. Just like you said, pork tenderized flat, breaded, lemon juiced, fried, served. So easy, so tasty. Makes my whole house smell like ass, though.

I'm only about 5-7 hours south east of you depending on traffic.

That's like the opposite of what I thought borderline personality was. But then again my understanding of it comes entirely from watching The Sopranos.

You know, my better half has the symptoms of BPD, and I never noticed the resemblance between her episodes and Oboro's in type if not scale. Interesting.

Dammit, stop describing me along with Oboro.
Read it again.
...I'm not sure whether to try and claim that's the Oboro-only part or not.
See, that's the worst part. I know I have issues, I know I need to get past them, I know what my issues are. The shit a therapist could help with is done and I am left with nothing!

I usually reserve the lemon juice till after, but it's the flavor that's important. It's also fantastic with gravies, the Jaeger schnitzel being (probably) my favorite. Brown mushroom gravy ftw.

A good therapist should be able to help you much further than that, with strategies to reduce anxiety, to help you recognize that "feeling spiral" and short circuit it, and with a series of behavioral changes that will translate into improved thinking processes.
Really the worst part is that I'll probably end up folding and doing it because I have literally nothing to motivate me to get a degree for anything else. I mean, no matter what I do with a psych degree I'll be in a position to help people and observe people, which is really all that's important to me. So I may as well do it the way my dad wants me to.
Are we seriously planning a South East PAX? We should all get together and drink heavily on November 5th. It's either going to be celebratory or self-medicating.

Well, I'm sorry you might have to spend some time in the slammer, but it sounds like you have substance abuse issues and repeat offenses, which suggests that you continue to make the same cyclical mistakes without changing your behaviors. Maybe tangible jail time will set you right.
I don't have repeat offenses, I have only every gotten two traffic tickets and then this other ticket for possession.
...
He means this isn't the first time you've done the dumbass act of driving while abusing a substance.
I don't give a shit what you do to your own body. The second you step into a car though your endangering the lives of everyone else on the road and sidewalk and you know what? For that you get a big FUCK YOU you selfish god damn piece of shit asshole.

Welcome to borderline personality disorder.
How is that normally treated?
SSRIs and dialectical behavior therapy, along with adjunct therapy to deal with any addictions that they might have picked up.

That's not how it works, actually. For smart people, knowing what your problems are can often be a serious impediment to progress, since you're really good at finding excuses to avoid actually doing anything about it. Good advice can just be "reasoned" away, whether it's someone else's, or your own. Oboro's a fucking Grand Jedi Master at that shit. A good therapist will recognize this and there are ways to deal with it, but it's not easy.
