MALIK: bluf: internally ignore malik. doesn't exist. lester exists but zero trust, no faith. 8:11 PM 20-Jun-24 seems like the mistake i made was giving these guys too much regard. taking them seriously and blanket applying my new principle of others outcomes matter over 'mine'. But now that mine are the departments/extension of rakesh (a person who acutally does merit it) these kids who are potentially bad actors can relatively go eat worms. now that I know that malik is a fuckboy (knowing he's actually is a bad actor combined with finding out it's because he's a dumbass little kid) i can just ignore him internally and treat him with rakesh-like rigid formality. internally as if he doesn't exist because someone who lies to hurt you like that doesn't merit regard. Lester lies to worm out of work but is at least not hostile so doesn't qualify for total cutoff. He will let you down though if you put any respect toward him so don't give him any trust. (? Malik - a fake smile for him. Lester, a smile to myself for him. ?) Just act more assured and they'll fall in line 8:54 PM 20-Jun-24
