Peeing standing up . Or that you don ' t have to even take your pants off . <| sep |> I mean , Mick Jagger hooked up with David Bowie so probably . <| sep |> Wouldn ' t be the first time he ' d do that so I ' m 90 % he ' ll go at it again . 10 % because toto might have yelled a bit last time that happened and who really wants that to happen again <| sep |> I love companies that pull that crap . I remember working for one where I was repeatedly written up and threatened with being fired for failing to clock out for breaks that I literally was forced to not take because it was too busy . What they wanted me to do was to clock out and keep working . That ' s what everyone else did . <| sep |> First off , that ' s awesome dude . I bet you ' re really happy to see all your hard work pay off . And even though your parents aren ' t necessarily validating your success , remember that they never held that power in the first place . Only you can validate yourself your parents can really only give you the feeling that says you ' re allowed to feel validated . If that makes any sense . Second , I ' m going to play a kind of devil ' s advocate here , which you can feel free to ignore if it begins to rattle you Your parents may not want you to be a lawyer or a doctor because of all of the sacrifices they ' ve made in their profession that they don ' t want you to make also . There ' s a famous Benjamin Franklin quote related to this belief . Your parents could be worried that you ' ll be discriminated against in school or within those professions . Will you actually be ? I ' d expect not but maybe they witnessed it when they were in school or still today professionally and are worried for you . In line with this might be concerns over imposter syndrome , which is a legitimate problem at the ivy league level . Your parents may be concerned if you ' re very successful they ' ll never or rarely see you again because you ' re becoming so selfsufficient so fast . If you don ' t need them for anything , they might think you ' ll have no reason to visit since you ' re not blood related . In other words , they might be worried you don ' t feel like part of the family and this is you distancing yourself . These are all just conjectures , but are still ways to view this without your parents being racists . Whatever you find out though , remember you have a bright future ahead of you if you keep up the hard work . But don ' t work too hard , y ' hear ?
