Initiative is the best way to show reciprocation
Eg someone asks “do you want to go on a hike”
Responding “Yes!” vs “Yes how’s Monday at 6?” are two different moods
Don’t leave someone to do all the activating

Most ways to find “likeminded” people focus on the surface.
Eg you’re into robotics, join the robotics club.
It’s harder, but more satisfying, to find people that are different than you in their surface interests, but “likeminded” to the core of your unseen selves.

I don’t desire financial success because I am perfectly happy living with my current state of frugality.
I am free. From resume expectations, prisoning jobs or life styles, the need to be someone fancy.

How to storyboard (any content)
Spit: dump all your ideas. No filters.
Section: clump your ideas, find common themes, and ditch some
Scaffold: put your sections in an order, add more details (e.g. sub-sections)
Structure: start adding your beginning & end for each section

I don’t agree with either — in a lot of places, there is simply no upside to leaving the door unlocked. In many neighbourhoods locking the door it’s a telling sign of your cognizance.

In the last week, 3 men have said something like “btw I did this, hope that’s ok with you!”
None of the times it has been. But they ask in groups and I keep my calm.
Then I go in private, and tell them their actions weren’t ok. I tell them that they should have asked me.

Of these babies, >10k will be dead by my 20th bday and >14k (total) will be dead by my 24th.
They’ll die from things like diarrhea and pneumonia.
Also today, 800 mothers will die, 2/3 from preventable causes.
