Salutations.

It is now 6:41 AM EST for me.

Just letting you know that I am going to look for that music video and trailer around 8:30 AM EST. To say something quickly, I currently don’t have a disney plus subscription. As soon as ‘The Mandalorian’ finished, I cancelled. However, this is what I read in google.com:

‘ After what has been a longer wait than fans anticipated, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania will finally release on Disney Plus on Wednesday, May 17. ‘

—

Also, from wikipedia:

‘ American Born Chinese is an upcoming action comedy television series based on the 2006 graphic novel of the same name by Gene Luen Yang. Filming began in Los Angeles in February 2022.

The series comprises eight episodes and is set to premiere on Disney+ on May 24, 2023. ‘

—

And in June:

‘ Secret Invasion is scheduled to premiere on June 21, 2023, and will consist of six episodes. ‘

—

So, May 17, I will subscribe to Disney Plus. If you choose to, if you like that type of programming, you may want to subscribe for those shows/movies. According to google.com:

‘ Disney+ Premium: Disney+ (No Ads) for the price of $10.99/month ‘

—

I think it’s a great deal for those 3 things alone, and after you watched them, just cancel. That’s about $22 for 2 months. It’s just a recommendation, something I’m doing personally.

Anyway, I’ll type something in again around 8:30 AM before I start looking for the music video and trailer. If you are there, I’ll see you then.

It is now 8:32 AM EST for me.

Just recently, I purchased the streaming movie ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’, and I stopped around 1 hour and 20 minutes into the movie so that I could do this. I’m surprised that I did that, because I would normally ‘fast-forward’ through things that I would watch. I ended up actually watching at least most of the movie, an entertaining surprise to me. Since I purchased it, I think it costs $25 to purchase it streaming. I’m recommending that your attention span use might like it, but you’re not obligated to purchase it.

So, here’s the plan: I want to introduce to you an idea that I believe may prepare you more for using idea ‘Strength’. After I explain that idea today, if I have time’, I’ll try to type in 2 more ideas. And then, next Thursday, I will begin explaining idea ‘Strength’, unless I change my mind again. Right now, I will look for a music video and trailer, and later today I will recommend them to you, and then explain that idea. I don’t have a name for it. So, if you are there later today, I’ll see you then.

It is now 9:56 AM EST for me.

In my opinion, I think that I found and prepared the music video and trailer rather quickly. The music video that I watched for the 1st time and recommend for this advice is called ‘Cupid’ by ‘FIFTY FIFTY’. I found it by selecting from www.youtube.com publisher ‘InMusic Official’, select ‘VIDEOS’, select ‘Hit Songs Of The Week | The Best Songs Of This Week’, which was published 14 hours ago, and 32 seconds into the video collection a video clip of music video ‘Cupid’ is shown, #18 out of 20.

Here is a quote from link ‘www.kpoplyrics.net’ for lyrics ‘Cupid’, English translation:

I gave a second chance to cupid
I believed you I’m so stupid
Let me show you my secret love, is it real?
Cupid is so dumb

—

To watch music video ‘Cupid’, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘cupid fifty fifty’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 42M views! It was published 2 months ago by publisher ‘FIFTY FIFTY Official’.

And here is a quote from link ‘https://kpopreviewed.com/’ found searching in www.google.com using phrase ‘fifty fifty cupid music video reviews’:

‘ The music video is more on the more traditional side. The lyrics paint the scene where the members were falling in love (i.e. trusting Cupid), but it turns out their crush did not reciprocate those feelings and rejected their advances, which resulted in the members calling Cupid stupid. We see all of that happen in the video, including one of the members (Sorry, I haven’t learnt FIFTY FIFTY members’ names just yet) cringe at the couple sitting in front of them. I did like how the colour tones in this video was pleasant, which works well with the song. I particularly liked the final choreography wide shot (where the members are dressed in dresses), which is a good example of this pleasant (yet bright) colour tone. The ending with just the one member sitting in front of her TV is a bit ambiguous. It might highlight the fact that she is alone now, or maybe a hint towards a future video. ‘

—

In my opinion, I was impressed as to how they integrated their synchronized dancing with the ‘cupid’ plot based on the review quoted. The special effects as always with the Kpop music videos that I have watched is impressive, and I recommend watching music video ‘Cupid’ for this advice.

—

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘About Fate’ starring Emma Roberts as Margot. Here’s the ‘Storyline’ from www.imdb.com:

‘ The romantic comedy is a tale of two people who believe in love, but seem to never be able to find its true meaning. In a wild twist of events, fate puts each in the other’s path on a stormy New Year’s Eve and comedy and chaos ensue. ‘

—

I found it by selecting from www.youtube.com publisher ‘Rotten Tomatoes Indie’, select ‘PLAYLISTS’, and from category ‘Sorted by Genre’, select ‘Indie Comedies’. Trailer ‘About Fate Trailer #1 (2022)’ is #15. Trailer ‘About Fate’ was published 8 months ago with 44K views. If you search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘about fate trailer’, publisher ‘MGM’ has the trailer ‘About Fate’ with 1.3M views, and was also published 8 months ago. I watched the one from publisher ‘Rotten Tomatoes Indie’.

In my opinion, it was relaxing to watch. I didn’t see anything inappropriate for this advice, so I recommend that it be watched for this advice.

It is now 10:49 AM EST for me.

All right. The idea that I recommend that you use for idea ‘Strength’ is an idea that I imagined. I don’t know if it’s true, but I think it may be useful for you to use. The idea is based on how I imagined management in general maintains a certain acceptable?/tolerable? identity of it’s employees. For example, I imagined, I don’t know if they actually exist, that many? companies/jobs in America group their troublemakers in one group, and many of those troublemakers I call instigators, and so I refer to a certain group as ‘the instigation group’. They make deals with management, allowing themselves to continue working for their jobs, a sort of symbiotic relationship between instigator groups and management. Many such instigators would arrange someone to talk to individually, so if something happens, if an instigator would have some sort of circumstantial episode, that instigator would be able to arrange to talk to that person, and that allows that instigator to have a sort of stable identity to allow themselves to do their jobs.

As an exercise, I basically imagined a silhouette of a person, for example, when a person’s hand is on a piece of paper, you use a writing device(pencil,pen,etc) to draw around that person’s fingers, and creates a silhouette image of that person’s hand. So, if an adult chooses to lie down on clean snow on a safe place on the ground, and that person would leave the ground, the impression left on that snow could be used to imagine drawing around that impression, creating a silhouette of that impression. Stand that silhouette up, and that’s what I’m using. If you use google.com and search for phrase ‘silhouette person’, you’ll see black images of people. What I imagined is just what is drawn around those images, or you can use a silhouette of a person from google.com.

Choose a shoulder from the image you chose to use, and circle it. Imagine there’s something there, like a piece of clothing, something safe and easily removed from the shoulder, and that represents a chosen perspective that you want that person to have, and/or a perspective that that person should have, let’s say for work. You may imagine someone from school/work having something, like an article of clothing, on one of their shoulders, and that represents a perspective that that person should have to use for work. What I’ll do is type a few examples where you will either try to allow that perspective to continue to be used by that person, or it’s just an example meant to help you use the idea.

Example1:

Kids in school learn something as a group that is evaluated as a joke. A month later while in class, a boy who missed a day in class is learning something with the class that is familiar, but a little confusing to learn. He talks to one of the students, a girl, and the girl explains that they are learning something taught to them a month ago, and she gives the detail of the joke said as a group a month ago. The boy recognizes it as the joke learned a month ago as a group, since he was in that group, and the boy says to the girl student ‘Isn’t that a joke?’

—

The class is re-learning something taught to them a month ago, but the class originally learned that lesson in the context of a joke. A month later, the class is re-learning what was taught in the form of a joke, but now it’s being taught in a normally familiar, practical use so that they can use that information. In other words, when the lesson is finished, for the purposes of a future project, what is on that shoulder that was re-taught to the will remain there. If it was just in the form of a joke, the kids may not use it at all. Now that it’s re-taught to them, in a manner of speaking, it should ‘stay on their shoulders’.

—

Example2:

This is just what I imagined a conceptualized use from management. I don’t know what it actually is, since I’m a non-managerial employee. Based on training, available resources, etc. , management is constantly making non-managerial employees have acceptable use of perspectives. For an illustration, I recommend episode 3.5 ‘Imposters’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Picard(2023)’, available from Amazon.com’s streaming service via their ‘Paramount Plus’ Amazon Video Channel. The scene starts, according to Amazon Video, about 48 minutes and 20 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Will Riker(Jonathan Frakes): ‘Old-school spycraft. It’s a data chip. But what are we looking at?’

Jean-Luc Picard(Patrick Stewart): ‘Her entire investigation.’

—

If you watched the scene, there are these pages? of information presented by the computer. So, refurbished, imagine some students/employees faces individually presented on those pages of information presented like the way it’s presented in that episode. You can manipulate them by sort of touching them like Riker did, just imagined of course, and based on what you want from them, the data(charts,graphs, words, etc) can change accordingly. Each page represents a simplified way of perceiving other students/employees as having a certain maintained use of identity that you can change with the help of those pages/charts.

Unfortunately, if you are a managerial employee and you don’t know that management regularly makes an effort to maintain employee identities, an instigator may present an interaction that discourages an innocent employee from maintaining certain perspective identities.

—

Example3:

I’m going to use a scene from the movie ‘Tenet(2020)’ starring John David Washington as Protagonist, and Dimple Kapadia as Priya. The movie is available streaming on Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts about 22 minutes and 23 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:

Priya: ‘Cheers.’

Protagonist: ‘Priya.’

Priya: ‘Hmm.’

Protagonist: ‘This is your operation.’

Priya: ‘A masculine front in a man’s world has it’s uses.’

—

So, refurbished with inapproprieieties removed, based on that conversation, Priya is allowing her husband to take all the credit for what she does with her business. When people ‘look’ at her business, they see her husband’s face, not her face.

So, for this 3rd example, for the adults, let’s say there’s a woman at work that is very attractive and single, and when she communicates to others, she can’t help but present herself in a way that involves some personal emotional expression, causing people to not treat her in a way that, for example, that allows her to be treated with a certain authority, a certain seriousness. So, the article of clothing that she want to metaphorically have on her shoulder is to be treated with a certain authority, a certain seriousness, even though her chosen, unavoidable means of direct communication discourages that type of authority, that type of seriousness, to be given to her. Like wha Priya said, refurbished for advice:

Priya: ‘A masculine front in a man’s world has it’s uses.’

—

Priya avoided that problem? by simply? allowing people to believe that her husband is ‘the face of the company’, instead of the truth, that it is her that is running the company. You look at her husband, and that is who you are communicating with. Problem? solved. However, in that very attractive woman’s situation, you may have to choose to do that all in your head, so to speak, to metaphorically allow what is on her shoulder to stay on her shoulder.

Example4:

Example4 and Example5 will involve the use of celebrity Chris Pine, because earlier today, around 7:00AM EST, a few hours ago, I was watching the streaming version of the movie ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves(2023)’, and in order to start this idea around 8:30AM EST earlier today, I had to stop watching it. I didn’t finish watching it yet. And because I liked watching it, and maybe because I didn’t finish watching it, earlier today I made 2 stories for this idea involving celebrity Chris Pine. So, for these 2 stories, let’s just call the character portrayed by celebrity Chris Pine, imagined of course, to also be called Chris Pine. If you choose to make this idea yours, in relation to advice said, you can change it all you want, including changing the name.

Anyway, here’s the story: A few years ago, Jon Hamm(movies ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and ‘Tag’) learned to use a certain perspective to communicate to certain employees, but he doesn’t have the ability to maintain the use of that perspective. That perspective was to be used to talk to certain employees during social engagements that he would always attend with his wife. That perspective was also created with the help of his wife. So, when they are in such a situation where he would need to use that perspective, he asked his wife to remind him to use it. If you were to use that ‘cloth on shoulder’ conceptualization, it’s something that Jon Hamm cannot constantly put on another person’s shoulder. He can only communicate that way for a short amount of time.

In the now, so to speak, while Jon Hamm is at work with employee Chris Pine, a situation occurs where he needs to use that perspective again, but it’s not a social situation. Chris Pine and Jon Hamm sort of ‘get along’. They’re not friends, but they work together, and Chris Pine knows that Jon Hamm is married because he talked about his wife several times to Chris Pine. So, when that situation occurred, there was some confusion involved with a few of the employees and Jon Hamm communicating. Chris Pine later entered the situation and tried to help fellow co-worker Jon Hamm. Soon, Chris Pine made the deduction that Jon Hamm has the ability to communicate with those workers a certain way, since he did demonstrate at several company parties that he can, indeed, do so. He made the deduction that his wife would remind him to use that form of communication, and Chris Pine presented the speculation that his wife would remind him to use it. When seen from the perspective of the other employees, imagine for the sake of simplicity that, from the eyes of those employees watching Chris Pine and Jon Hamm talk, initially, they are speaking some other language that they cannot understand, but eventually, they noticed that Jon Hamm is now speaking English, and speaking English represents Jon Hamm finally using that perspective that his wife helped him to learn, with the help of Chris Pine.

Example5:

This idea uses my experience watching the movie ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves(2023)’ earlier today, but I only watched/fast forward up to 1 hour and 21 minutes into the movie. I stopped around that time in the movie. I stopped in order to type in this blog, and I plan to watch the rest of the movie later today. The story uses 2 of the main characters, Edgin(Chris Pine) and Holga(Michelle Rodriguez). One reason why I’m using these 2 is because they chose to not be in a relationship together. It’s a comedy adventure movie. Here is a relevant quote about that, about 15 minutes and 52 seconds into the movie:

Edgin: ‘What? No, she’s not my wife.’

Holga: ‘Me with that? With those lips?’

Edgin: ‘That’s so gross. Just the drinks.’

—

So, I suspect that it’s because of their comedy movie reasons to not be in a relationship that I created a situation where, in America around this time, 2010-now, they’re 2 co-workers that are interacting with each other in sort of a platonic way…

What is an example of a platonic relationship?
Platonic describes a relationship that is purely spiritual and not physical. If a guy and a girl hang out all the time but aren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, they’d describe their friendship as platonic. (www.google.com)

like they did in that ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ movie, but not too much of that. For simplicity, let’s use their actual names. It’s a little paradoxical, but in this story, Chris Pine is showing Michelle Rodriguez a scene in the streaming movie ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’, and the details of that paradox are not important for this story. He paused a scene when they were in that place trying to acquire that helmet, around 1 hour and 10 minutes into the movie. They each have a laptop with the same image from that movie paused for them to both look at. And in this platonic relationship, Chris Pine explains to Michelle Rodriguez that he believes that there are people in the job that have certain identities, and that they don’t show it to other people. Those identities are created from the ‘public’ identities that they show while working. And he is asking her to present to him, if she chooses to, one or more of those identities that she uses at work, presented in that ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ scene that he set-up to watch in that laptop. So, shortly after they are both looking at that same scene, Michelle Rodriguez knows that Chris Pine is really into Star Wars, so she portrays something from Star Wars that she watched to him, causing Chris Pine to leave his chair and approach Michelle Rodriguez while she is still sitting down looking at that ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ scene, and he said to her quote:

Chris Pine: ‘I knew it!’

—

And as a response, Michelle Rodriguez nods her head several times, agreeing with Chris Pine, and also smiling.

Shortly after that, they both agreed to be in a relationship, and within a year after Michelle Rodriguez nodded to Chris Pine with that smile, they both got married to each other.

It is now 1:03 PM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. I believe that the idea that I just typed in may be useful to you. It may even help you prepare more for idea ‘Strength’, an idea that I will type in next Thursday, unless I change my mind. I could type another idea in, but it’s not an urgent thing. It’s not like I have to finish an idea. I guess I’m just choosing to finish now. So, if you are there next Thursday, I’ll see you then.
