How to not be evil. You’d think it’s simple, but evidently not.
Basic fucking decency would be a start
How to properly zipper merge on a highway.
Drive slower, you’re not in a rush, it’s all in your head, your home’s not gonna permanently locked away if you’re late, your office won’t explode if you’re late and if you’re already late to work you’re already late.
Drive. Slower.
Another language. It changes the way you see the world
ASL has made a shocking difference in my life, both opening me up as a more accessible person, but also finding a lot of use for it in my own file!!
The fact that psychedelic drugs like mushrooms and LSD aren’t as dangerous as media and politics make them out to be.
They are actually among the physically safest drugs out there, even when including caffeine and sugar. They can be used in so many ways for self-improvement and treating depressions, anxiety, PTSD and many other conditions.
The book ‘How to change your Mind’ by Michael Pollan is a wonderful read on the topic.
Empathy
How to properly go through a four-way stop.
As a non-USA person, the existence of a four-way stop has always baffled me. I think it is the peak of awful road design. I don’t think you could make a worse intersection.
The rules for how they’re supposed to work sound simple enough on paper. Unfortunately a lot of us in the US have poor reading comprehension skills.
Or use a roundabout
Can you teach me this? I have roundabout anxiety.
Assuming right-hand side of road driving and right-hand (anti-clockwise) directionality of travel.
- Look left. Clear? Proceed. Not clear? Yield.
- When safe to do so, enter the roundabout. Locate your exit.
- Exit the roundabout.
Corollary: never stop in a roundabout. Go around more than once if you have to, but don’t stop.
I assume roundabouts in Australia and England and UK colonies that drive on the left, all instructions are direction-opposite.
Assuming left-hand side of road driving and left-hand (clockwise) directionality of travel.
- Look right. Clear? Proceed. Not clear? Yield.
- When safe to do so, enter the roundabout. Locate your exit.
- Exit the roundabout.
Corollary: never stop in a roundabout. Go around more than once if you have to, but don’t stop.
In step 1 it’s feels like it’s never clear and i don’t know how long to wait.
It’s like a stop sign entering a busy road. You stay stopped until it’s clear. Never mind the impatient people behind you that probably don’t know how to use a roundabout as well. People seem to think that you just enter the roundabout without stopping and people in the roundabout have to yield to them. The people in the roundabout have the right of way so they can get out of it and make room for more.
I did one yesterday!! There were only 3 other cars, but still, i did it!
Good job. Like anything, practice makes you better.
to love themselves so they can love everyone else

The first thing that pops into my head is an idea about writing. You’re mixing your tenses.
mood, not tense, no ?
Sense of the, so called, common variety, ironic wording considering how uncommon it is. But I imagine that educating people would help this, both in school and in the community. One seemingly obvious thing would be how people litter in green spaces, was that wrapper going to kill you when you get home?
