Salutations.

It is now 1:20AM EST for me.

I’m not using my Samsung Chromebook, since I’m in a rush. I have to set it up, put it on the laptop stand, but I want to use the time available for something else. I’m supposed to start typing around 7:00PM EST yesterday, but I didn’t meet that goal again. I’m going to keep trying to meet that goal, even though I may never achieve that goal. I’m going to type again at around 7:00PM Tuesday, later today. Since I’m typing at that time, I will be able to order anything, so to speak. The restaurants taht I am interested in buying takeout from should all be available during that day. For example, if I look at ‘Favorites’ for the takeout app, the one’s that I selected should all be available.

All right. I want to make a quick comment about the previous list. I’m saying this to the kids reading this blog, I’ve been typing in this blog for a certain amount of years now, and it’s not my intent to ‘freak anyone out’ for what I am about to say. Also, I am an adult, and you are ‘kids’. I don’t believe that I am a mindreader, but I do have some experience. After all, I was also a kid before I got older.

Here’s the comment: I don’t have kid volunteers helping me out. I’m making these ideas using my imagination, just me. I haven’t told anyone about the blog, except a few times involving Ipage and WordPress employees, when something would happen to the blog, and I need it to get fixed. That can’t be avoided. Also, this is a public blog, so even though I don’t tell anyone about it, people could still discover and use it.

So, this is the comment: I imagined some? of the kids singing the recommended words from the music video ‘Let Me Go’ by Hailee Steinfeld:

I’ve been hoping somebody loves you in the ways I couldn’t
Somebody’s taking care of all of the mess I made
Someone you don’t have to change
I’ve been hoping
Someone will love you, let me go
Someone will love you, let me go
I’ve been hoping
Someone will love you, let me go

It is my belief that you are using expected reciprocation when singing those words. When I make these ideas, I also do so without needing many forms of reciprocation from those that are reading the blog. For example, and I am also imagining this, I cannot prove it, your Teacher’s Committee are always upgrading their accommodations for their students without requiring specific reciprocations from the school’s students. Said to the kids, have you ever attended a Teacher’s Committee meeting? In a manner of speaking, they don’t require reciprocations from the school’s students for changes in policy that the students have not been informed of, since they don’t know what those changed in policy are. Of course, they welcome their parents to attend meetings. That could happen.

In my opinion, if you are experiencing certain disappointments in the use of that ‘Hailee Steinfeld’ idea, one reason is because you expect reciprocation, for example, from one or more people you are presenting that singing or idea to.

To help improve the effectiveness of the use of that idea, I recommend that you add to that idea more interactions, more results, that do not require certain forms of reciprocation from the person that you are using the idea with. Create a use of that idea that involves both reciprocation and not needing reciprocation.

Here’s a story idea that I typed in a previous list a while ago to help you understand how to create an idea that has both reciprocation and non reciprocation results. It’s based on a scene in the movie ‘Conan the Barbarian(1982)’ starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan. In 2 scenes that I can recall, Conan talked about the god Crom that he worships. Let’s say that Crom in the 21st Century, let’s say in the year 2013 randomly chosen, he decided to walk on a bridge that people created somewhere in America. While he was walking on it, the adults in general driving thought that a movie was being made as they drove past him. The kids that were in the cars watched in awe, since he was impossibly tall.

My point is that the god Crom was able to physically walk on that bridge. For many participations out there, companies, corporations, people, etc. create accommodations for others to use, without needing any reciprocation for those that may use such accommodations. So, even though you currently choose to not participate, if and when you do for certain participations, certain accommodations will be made available to you, even without your reciprocations.

—

I upgraded my ‘strategy ideas’, but I want to offer you more ‘story ideas’ to help prepare you more for using them, if you choose to use them. Therefore, I will start by typing an idea that starts with idea ‘Avoid’. After I finish typing that idea, I plan to type in more story ideas designed to give you more ‘contemplation room’ to process the ideas more.

I want to buy food to contribute to going to the laundromat, so I have to leave soon to buy that food. There are places open 24 hours in America, so I’ll go to one of those places to buy that food. I have to do that quickly. Like I said before, I will start typing again around 7:00PM EST today. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

Here’s a quick imagined question from a kid:

Kid: ‘How did you do it?’

—

I did it with the intent to improve communication. For example, based on intent, when a single woman that I found attractive chose to use that idea, they should feel a sense of improved communication. Well, that was the intent of it.

—

I’ll see you later today.

It is now 2:14AM EST for me.

For new readers, and I typed it in in a previous list, I want to say something about the use of the music video ‘Let Me Go’ by kids: It is my belief that most of the new music videos being made are ‘relationship based’, so what you do is repurpose them for another use. For many popular music videos, when you look at what wikipedia.org says about them, there is always some deeper meaning that the singer wants to convey, more than just presenting it’s relationship based elements.

—

Anyway, I’ll start typing again around 7:00PM EST later today.

It is now 12:43AM EST for me.

I missed typing at 7:00PM EST yesterday, but as I planned, I was able to do certain tasks a day before. For example, instead of preparing the boxes and cardboard recycling on the day they’re collected, for me, that’s Wednesday, I prepared them a day before, on a Tuesday. That way, for me, there’s no feeling of being more mindful of the time, since cardboard and boxes recycling will be collected later that day. By preparing the cardboard/boxes recycling a day before, to me, it feels like I’m managing my time better.

Now that I did certain tasks a day earlier, I feel more relaxed typing in this blog, since I am no longer obligated to do those tasks later today.

I recommend that you do the same: do certain tasks a day earlier. The change in obligation may allow you to feel more relaxed.

I don’t have any Amazon.com purchases I’m choosing to recommend for this blog right now.

I’m going to look for a music video and trailer now to recommend for this list. That should take about an hour and a half to prepare. So, if you are there in an hour and a half, I’ll see you then.

It is now 3:44AM EST for me.

Wow. That took a long time. I also took a nap and got something to eat. Also, I had a problem with the Ethernet adapter. Eventually, all I had to do was disconnect it and reconnect it, since the signal coming from the modem was OK. Next time, I’ll do that.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Lights Camera Action’ by Kylie Minogue. Here is a quote from link stayfreeradioip.com:

‘ Lyrically, “Lights Camera Action” captures the excitement and freedom of a night out. Kylie paints a picture of a glamorous, high-fashion world where inhibitions are shed and the focus is on having a good time. The references to designers like Lagerfeld and Gaultier add to the sense of luxurious escapism.

—

And here is a quote from wikipedia.org about the music video:

It was filmed in Budapest, Hungary, and features Minogue in various guises on a staged film set.[21] It begins with a black-and-white shot of Minogue in an office-like setting in front of a map, similar to the snippet clip she shared on social media before the song’s release.[51][52] Additional scenes follow, including her posing in front of a photographer (played by Minogue), getting her makeup done with curlers in front of a mirror with additional personnel around her, a tracking shot of her singing the song, and her wearing a black-and-yellow dress with confetti, caution tape, and a stuntman in the background.[52] It concludes with Minogue in a cinema, watching a black-and-white shot of herself. ‘

Here is a quote from the lyrics:

It’s about to go off
Tell me, can you feel it?

Lights, camera
Lights, camera, action, that’s it

Lights, camera, action, that’s it

Lights, camera, action, that’s it

—

It is now 4:48AM EST for me.

I took another nap.

I found the music video by selecting in www.youtube.com publisher ‘Hot Music Charts’, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘Top Songs of the Week | January 31, 2025’ published 4 days ago. A video clip from music video ‘Lights Camera Action’ starts about 6 minutes and 27 seconds into that video clip collection, and is #38 out of 100.

To watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘lights camera action’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 3.6M views. It was published 4 months ago by publisher ‘Kylie Minogue’.

In my opinion, if you choose to watch it, it may seem somewhat boring in the beginning, that ‘black and white’ scene, but the more you watch it, the more it may interest you. For example, my favorite special effects scene starts 2 minutes and 4 seconds into the music video, the ‘slow motion’ scene where the man wearing a suit behind Kylie Minogue is performing a stunt scene. The comparison of that man with Kylie Minogue seems to make her look good. I watched it twice using this Samsung chromebook. I may watch it later from the TV screen.

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps – Official Teaser Trailer (2025)’. I used publisher ‘IGN Movie Trailers’ to reference it. Select ‘Videos’, scroll down a little, and there it is. I then recently searched for phrase ‘the fantastic four first steps’ to find a trailer that had a higher view count than IGN’s. I then selected the trailer from publisher ‘Marvel Entertainment’. It had 18M views, and was published 20 hours ago.

Here is a quote from link gizmodo.com about the trailer:

‘ There’s a lot we don’t really see in this first teaser for First Steps. Like we said, there’s no look at Reed’s powers in action, and while we see Galactus, we don’t see his herald, Julia Garner’s Shalla-Bal. And there’s not a hint of any potential connection between this take on the team and their most iconic comics foe, Doctor Doom—and however they might be connected to Robert Downey Jr.’s take on Victor. Time will tell, but for now, we at least get a pretty solid picture of the retro-period charm that Marvel wants to suffuse this movie with. ‘

—

And here is a quote from wikipedia.org about the movie:

‘ Premise
On a 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic Earth, the Fantastic Four must protect their world from the planet-devouring cosmic being Galactus and his herald, the Silver Surfer.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 25, 2025,[6] in IMAX.

It will be the first film, and start, of Phase Six of the MCU. ‘

It is now 5:16AM EST for me.

Finally!

I’m not going to ‘rub it in’:

Here’s the definition of ‘rub it in’ from www.google.com. I searched in www.google.com for phrase ‘not rubbing it in meaning’ to find that definition:

idiom. to make someone feel worse about something the person already feels embarrassed about: I know I shouldn’t have paid that much for the poster – don’t rub it in, OK?

—

Here’s the scenario that I imagined to create idea ‘I’m not going to ‘rub it in’: if you are new at reading this blog, I imagined that, for many jobs in America that have many people as employees, they have what I call an ‘instigation group’, people who were caught instigating other employees, and they agreed to be part of an instigation group. From time to time, they would talk to management and each other, create projects with management, help resolve job related issues. I just imagined them, I don’t know if they actually exist, but if they did, it is my belief that they are ‘ahead of the race’ compared to the rest of the employees. They were caught being troublemakers, but I used their imagined existence to help me make ideas in this blog. I’m sure there’s more to it than that, but that’s them in an imagined nutshell.

In this imagined scenario, it may happen a few times in maybe 10 years, a topic where the instigation group would complain about something that they all know about, and even though they’re the instigation group, somehow, it involves ‘rubbing it in’ whatever it is that they know to other employees. Then ‘the voice of reason’ would be introduced in that conversation, someone from management. I imagined that to be a man wearing a suit, and he said to them that ‘we(management)’ know a great deal of things that are happening in this company/job, and we don’t ‘rub it in’, especially if it makes perfect sense that we should’.

Of course, I don’t see how the other employees did anything wrong. This idea reminds me of a recent idea I typed in a previous list. I think it was called ‘The more you know, the more reserved you should be’.

Now, here’s the ‘experienced instigation’ explanation: According to idea ‘I’m not going to ‘rub it in’ ‘, when you experience instigation, let’s say from the instigators where you work, such an instigation identified by idea ‘I not going to ‘rub it in’ ‘ shows you that the experienced instigation is overemphasizing a few issues, even though management is aware of many situations that may be re-interpreted as many possible issues, but management chooses to not ‘rub it in’ upon the non-managerial employees. One adverse, intentional effect, to overemphasize those few experienced instigations, is to discourage you, if you are a non-managerial employee, to pursue a career in management!

Imagine someone in management experiencing a situation introduced by a non-managerial employee, and that someone chooses to not ‘rub it in’. Such an example can help you manage better certain experienced instigations. For example, if you choose to use idea ‘I’m not going to ‘rub it in’ ‘, recall that example of that managerial employee not ‘rubbing it in’, then contemplationally say ‘I’m not going to ‘rub it in’ ‘, or something similar to that phrase, or relates to that phrase. The instigator doesn’t want you to pursue a career in management, you understand that now. And you’re using idea ‘I’m not going to ‘rub it in’ to help with certain experienced instigations.

It is my belief that the illustration examples that I would provide for these ideas would significantly improve it’s effectiveness. The illustration example is in episode 1.4 ‘Twice Born’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Dune: Prophecy’. The episode is available for purchase streaming from Amazon.com. If you have the streaming service Max, you can watch it from that service instead. According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 44 minutes and 25 seconds into the episode. If you want to, with inapproprieities removed, you may watch more of that episode for more information. Here is the quote:

44 minutes and 28 seconds:

Harrow Harkonnen(Edward Davis): ‘What do I do?’

Valya Harkonnen(Emily Watson): ‘I think she just did it for you.’

—

In my opinion, Valya Harkonnen did not ‘rub it in’ when answering Harrow Harkonnen’s question.

It is now 6:23AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. I made the mistake of starting this list too late. I originally planned to start typing around 7:00PM EST Tuesday, and I was hours late starting. Next time, I will try to start sooner, to allow myself to add more than just one idea to the list. As a priority, I will try to start typing at 7:00PM EST, but on Monday night. If I can’t type it then, then I’ll try to type at 7:00PM EST Tuesday night. This coming Monday or Tuesday, I still will try to give you more ‘story ideas’ designed to give you more contemplation room to use these ideas before I offer another ‘strategy idea’. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
