[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.]
[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.
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.
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.
‘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
[Languages don’t exist: there are only dialects, and some of those get promoted as a vehicle for national purposes, which makes it a political event.]
[They only know what we tell them when we tell it to them.]
[Often what looks like one concept to someone with experience is really several concepts to a beginner. Make a list of all the elements involved and there will usually be one that can be learned in isolation.]
[The learner should rarely feel like something is missing. The teacher presents one idea at a time, and the learner tries to apply it feeling complete and resolved.]
[Maintain an optimum cognitive load normally and increase or decrease tension deliberately to create contours of peaks and valleys so that the experience feels dynamic and engaging.]
[Try turning off Wi-Fi.] Seems that the WiFi and the USB subsystems might be sharing a data path to the processor, so there can be conflicts between them.
Transferring over wifi: Calibre has a content server (you can find it under preferences, sharing, sharing over the net), your Kobo can connect to it with its browser (under extra’s). The default port is 8080, there’s a more detailed explanation on the content server dialog.
More Wi-Fi possibilities in Add Books Over WiFi?, but the filenames tend to get mangled when importing this way, so I don’t like it.
Absurd to strive for reading continuously without stopping or reflecting on anything else. Thinking about the material can and perhaps should take you away for a moment—not simply an indicator of distraction that needs to be managed.
I have taken few steps to simplify its content, deeming any simplification a complication in waiting.
Está rojo is what we might say when referring to the state of a glowing hot piece of metal, while es rojo, as a characteristic, would be used to describe a painted piece of metal.
it is this thought that we must transcribe into our new language, rather than the base language itself.
noticing several friends point out my habit of being highly self-critical, something i’ve been aware of but never realized how often it happens, working on it now
