You must choose better - in everything.

The design for change is not to change basically "the way things are" in business.

We are often on the internet because we want to be known more as an individual, and to be more widely accepted. And dare I say praised! 👏

It seems one of the basics... (which often results from cold "system" not giving a fuck / not caring about our soul / using people for their body or raw-brain extraction only).

Am I totally wrong about #Work #Job #Life #Extraction ?

#Mastodon Posts Backup Export+Import? #Job - #Fedihire

☑️ I want my Mastodon profile exported to a format I can read as a more standalone or more common standard (like a HTML / XML, book or perhaps Wordpress site, but simpler is more the idea or both / all these).

May take a bit of figuring out how to export to something more standalone but happy to pay even if I could do it myself... (an endless scroll would be good almost emulating Mastodon).

👎 Currently Mastodon has NOTHING you can export and import to...

(you are stuck on server you post on!)

So not even importing to itself will work... 👀

*Although* maybe a 'local' instance all to myself might mean I can run a 1 person profile and just copy my posts file over ?,,,
hmmm that would be ok too to have my posts as reference / non-public, but who knows?...)

thoughts welcome....

Love seems not quite enough in many ways.

But manipulation and incentives seem also not great as a "means to an end" (in which the end is incrementing more love!)

Although I have been thinking of paying 💰 more people to do what they already like to do 🎢

Change for the better might not come from sterilised-design workplaces and state-sanctioned templates, with orders coming from the top.

#Change #Life #BetterPractices

'Work' as your medium can be surprisingly temporary when one day you are given leave or leave of your own accord (unhappiness, lack of change etc).

'Work' as your vehicle and medium for friendship can be often superficial, boxed in and limited in breaking the barriers of any sterilised-design workplaces and state-sanctioned templates of atmosphere.

Ironically the design for change, is not to change things.

Colleagues can be nice but not necessarily long-term or for the long-term. Sometimes when the job stops so does your friendship.

So I'm not saying: don't try - but do look for more purpose made or genuine friendship and spaces... and if not make space at home or wherever you can for some real talk!

What would it take to work together on practically anything?

Do you even have people in mind?

#War - Invade or be invaded?

War is when you start becoming like them in fighting, but don't want to be too relaxed either by doing nothing.

Invade or be invaded so territorially you're not taken over or invite people to easily invade...?

█ Let go or be dragged (and similar storyline comments from,"Finding Nemo" and general quotes around from a quora page)...

TLDR = █ - see for main quotes

"Marlin is faced with this clearly inevitable death. However, as he is hanging on for his life, and knowing he is about to die, he is asked by Dory, to let go. He knows that letting go will mean getting swallowed by the whale and die, so obviously either the whale is lying in order to eat them, or Dory is just wrong and her ignorance is about to get them killed. So Marlin has every reason to think that he is absolutely about to die no matter what, and there’s nothing at all he can do about it. And Dory tells him to “let go.”

█ He realizes that he is going to die, and then he accepts it, and this action marks a huge turning point for Marlin.

However, instead of dying, he and Dory are shot out of the whale, and land safely back in the water to continue their journey. In an instant, he sees that every single element of that situation that he believed pointed toward certain doom were actually positive forces encouraging him to relax. Because only in relaxing sometimes and letting go, do we allow ourselves the opportunity to have any kind of positive experience in life.

█ True, you might be surviving regardless, but surviving is not synonymous with living.

It reminds me of a line by Danny Aiello in Jacob’s Ladder:

█ "If you're afraid of dying, and you're holdin' on, you'll see devils tearin' your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freein' you from the world.”

Also this line from the Native American character in Cowboy Bebop:

█ “Do not fear death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light, but if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity.”

Deep meaningful #movies #film?

My list below mixed from other people's existing comments:

There are many movies with deep hidden meanings, as filmmakers often use symbolism and metaphor to convey complex themes and ideas. Here are a few examples:

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" - explores the nature of memory, love, and the human psyche.

"The Matrix" - uses the concept of a simulated reality to examine philosophical questions about the nature of reality and free will.

"Fight Club" - critiques consumer culture and explores the concept of masculinity in modern society.

"Donnie Darko" - uses time travel and alternate realities to explore themes of fate, mental illness, and the nature of reality.

"Inception" - explores the nature of dreams and the subconscious mind, as well as the power of ideas and the human will.

"Captain Fantastic" Anti-capitalistic Growing of Children with dad that teaches and lives the way inside the modern cultures someone against / intolerant of the old!

====================

These are just a few examples, but there are many other movies with hidden meanings and deeper themes waiting to be explored.
