Discrete Self Model

The unspoken assumption behind most of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders): that every human is a neatly bounded, fully knowable individual who can be diagnosed like a glitchy toaster.

Used to justify labeling complex, context-driven human behavior as “disordered” while ignoring trauma, systems, relationships, and late-stage capitalism.

Symptoms may include:
• Taking your emotions personally
• Believing your thoughts are facts
• Assuming “normal” exists
• Diagnosing others on TikTok
Therapist: “Sounds like you might meet criteria for 296.89.”
Patient: “Or maybe I’m just rejecting the Discrete Self Model.”
Therapist: “…I’ll need to consult the DSM-6 for that.”

Want a medal?

A sarcastic way of telling someone to get over it and stop seeking validation for doing something nobody asked you to do in the place, especially if they're going to be an asshole about it.
Entitled: Ayo, I did this for you. YOU'RE WELCOME!

ME: Want a medal?

Entitled: PLEASE!

We Have to Make the Operating Model Work

A phrase often said by a person, usually a person in a management role, who requires specific tasks to be completed but does not have the knowledge or skill set to complete the task his or herself.
A head chef was hired despite having no cooking experience and told me to cook a new chicken platter. When I asked at what temperature should I cook the chicken, the chef replied "We Have to Make the Operating Model Work."

I was given a task to build a gingerbread house with only a dirty q-tip and a used condom. When I asked my manager in what fucked up world this makes any sense, he replied "We Have to Make the Operating Model Work."
