Let's talk about a New Year's resolution, a message, and change....

I have known you before. The only ones I still know are the ones that left and never looked back.

Some reflections on last night’s hawtt Jew-on-Jew action with @thedandelionking

['Might makes right' disqualifies someone from leftism.]

Let's talk about balance and advice for the unvaccinated....

Make a plan for your kids, discuss it with them. Write your will. Sign a power of attorney. Talk about DNR/DNI with your family and decide if it's right for you. Make one box for originals or copies of the following: life insurance policy; home and car owners insurance; medical and vaccination records; tax records; court orders, such as child support and custody; social security card; marriage license; birth certificate; passports; vehicle titles and registrations; important documents and anything you don't want to lose; copies of last months bills (make it easy for the person taking care)

The Bio-Emotive Framework: An Escape from the Hell of Unprocessed Emotions

[NEDERA: Notice when emotionally activated; Experince the emotion; Differentiate by finding the words that best describe what you're feeling; Express by speaking it out loud; Resonate by allowing any body changes as a result; Resolve through crying; Act and update to create any boundaries needed around what provoked you.]

We Don't Sell Saddles Here

[By focusing promotion less on a specific product and more on compelling future outcomes, you can become a go to point for the larger activity or lifestyle and be perfectly positioned to point towards what your business offers: for example, Lululemon selling yoga, the ACME Saddle company selling horseback riding, designer brands selling desirability, Nike selling success…]

[When offering something people have no references for, or that they don't know they want, copy needs to be framed not in terms of simply features but outcomes that speak to where the customer is. Doing a better job providing what customers want goes hand-in-hand with communicating that as well as possible. It's imperative to eliminate every little thing that could get in the way of a fluid experience, because the person using this already has too much to deal with and now they have to learn your random piece of software.]

[No points for features if they don't squarely address the larger purpose.]

Every bit of grace, refinement, and thoughtfulness on our part will pull people along. Every petty irritation will stop them and give the impression that it is not worth it.

My way of playing includes how I deal with the unexpected: musically, and physiologically.

Injuries we experience are a reminder of what strangers may be carrying when they avoid things, and how we can be more mindful or compassionate when confronted with people who seem like or say that "they can't".

In the same way that Instagram forces posting regularly in order to exist, perhaps all reverse-chronological timelines force ephemeral content. You can reference or quote to old tweets if you're lucky, but still feels like 'posting once makes it disappear' unless you repeat the same isolated fragment frequently. How can one get a sense for how another thinks if they only read one tweet at a time and those tweets are spread out over a year? Perhaps 'update platforms' are not designed to understand larger thoughts? Blog posts can also be reverse-chronological but each can include dense context and past references so that you can collapse time in order to understand larger thoughts. So perhaps 'update platforms' are best suited to your 'current status' and those might as well disappear after 24 hours like 'ephemeral stories'; if you want to get around ephemeral content, use a blog.

To rather be helpful than right.

If too focused on technique while playing piano, we miss enjoyment and the point of sharing stories. Is there a similar consequence if too focused on "breathing correctly" as opposed to enjoying and feeling each breath?

Old English had "he walks not there today", similar to other languages with negation after the verb. We change/contract that to "he doesn't walk there today". Perhaps a useful explaining device.

It can be a security tactic (around people who choose to deploy anger) that they become hard to estimate under unknown conditions. When anything can turn into an explosion, the environment becomes one of constant fear.

Nicer than my current setup of editing /etc/hosts, adding 127.0.0.1 loc.whatever, entering my password… But I hesitate to have an experience too difference from another person who would run my apps.

Like the concept of Changelog as with Ghost and others. Not sure yet if this pattern would fit somewhere in my universe.

AI and Desire - The Existential Coach

[We are the parents of AI and might consider what kind of family it is being brought into.]

[Asking for regulation of AI by people who don't understand it is just PR.]

[Using the doctrine of survival to justify harm to ourselves and others.]

[AI is a mirror showing us how we treat one another.]

'Toragesic' is a brand of Brazilian back pain medication recommended by my therapist. I took sublingual tablets; was pretty fast and effective; tried to use it while also resting (not stressing or working during recovery) and I usually was normal after a few days. Some information in Portuguese from tuasaude.com and less in English from rxreasoner.com and drugs.com
