Today, I put into practice a hack I was taught a few days back.
I liked a video someone shared on their status, and I knew asking them would trigger a conversation I was unwilling to have. Instead of asking, I just used the hack to get it myself.
No troubling of anyone, just deploying technology that was always in my phone, but never used.
I wonder how much more my phone is capable of. This phones is expensive for a reason, but I bought it not for its features, but for signalling. I have now decided to learn one new thing this phone is capable of every week.
Life can be so much easier when you know how to use the tools already available to you.
I am thankful for technology and its unexplored possibilities.

When Everyone’s a Genius (A Few Thoughts on Speculation)
“Every investor is making bets on the future. It’s only called speculation when you disagree with someone else’s bet.” – Morgan Housel
Advice
Work with what works for you.
Abuse
It is easy to say “walk away” when you look in from the outside.
It is hard to walk away when you are on the inside.
Humans are addicted to one kind of abuse or the other. Some are accepted by society, others are frowned upon.
Withdrawal is tough because of the seeming availability of abuse, and scarcity of options. Which is why sources of abuse also actively limit alternatives.
Continually saying “walk away” or “leave to save your life” does not help, because anyone that sees no alternatives already stares at death.
We need more visible institutions that support with alternative paths.
