no millennial trope has broken more brains than "you don't owe anybody anything". an ignoble, selfish narcissism dressed up in therapy-speak about boundaries and self-care in order to give yourself a pass from treating other people with a basic level of care and respect

Woman: I was abused and violated. Men: We’ll need 500 photos, 100 videos, about 20 witnesses, a timeline, a psychological report, and forensic proof. Abuser: I didn’t do it. Men: Sounds reasonable, we believe you.

Brad Pitt spent years buying up every neighbouring property around his Los Feliz estate. When he acquired the home of an elderly widower named John, already in his 90s, he could have asked him to leave. Instead, he told him he could stay for free for the rest of his life. John ended up living to 105. The story only came out because Pitt’s former neighbour, Cassandra Peterson, mentioned it in passing to People magazine. No announcement, no headlines. Just a good thing done quietly.
