I mean, all of the moving parts involved outside of the friction brake portion do usually need lubrication. Usually a silicone or molybdenum based lubricant depending on where it's used. I use silicone for the slide pins inside the caliper and moly grease for between the pads and the caliper brackets and backing plates

I got stuck driving through Time's Square right before the Madison Square Garden rally and I saw way too goddamn many... Didn't realize it was the rally until I got home, so I was very confused at the time.

Trying to protect neurodivergent people unfortunately shelters bad behavior as well as benign. Yes, the antisocial guy trying to start fights and hurt animals would've been driven out of society, but so would the harmless kid who needs things to be arranged by the last letter of its name or something. I've got some idiosyncrasies that make certain aspects of "fitting in" require more effort than most, and I definitely felt the difference in attitude towards how I struggled as I got older. Another hard to control factor is that malicious people can game those same attitudes that help people who simply can't understand why they are different.
