Are you a Friend, a Benefit or a Story?

One can become 3 things in a person's life. A Friend, a Benefit, a Story. The third type is not popular but it is when a person is physically remote and there's no experiences mutually shared. A story then becomes the material of gossip. "Did you know what happened to..?" Etc. Some people will contact you after a long time to extract some stories (material) with the excuse of asking/caring. But the question is how can one be sure? Simple... if they shared personal stories of similar significance, then they are genuine but when they have not much going on in their lives (as they express "no news") then you're the material of gossip in the next evening tea time.

Another indicator is the means of communication. Some people will use WhatsApp or a Facebook message when they're locally in the same country after a long time of no contact. If you really count for them, why does it seem that a phone call is so expensive? Because asking about someone you care about is different than just doing a social duty because culture and tradition say so.

Each of us would have his/her personal rules for what is acceptable and exceptions but many will not share it. The reason I do, is to clarify that details have value, always count and are not random.

A Simple Color Calibration Guide for Manjaro Linux

When I installed Manjaro Linux on my HP laptop, I noticed that the screen was more blueish than normal. This is a very simple guide on how to fix that in minimal steps. 1. First update your system with sudo pacman -Syyu 2. Download monica color calibration tool (which is basically a GUI front end for xgamma binary) with sudo pacman -S monica 3. Launch Monica from the start menu: At first you will notice that the gamma of all colors are equal to 1. Then you will move the sliders until you can see the colors are balanced as shown. However, you will need a grey color as your reference first. 4. Download this image, or the silver coin of your country from images.google.com , increase your laptop brightness to maximum then start moving the sliders while looking at the silver coins. Your calibration is correct if the coins look as grey as they should, if there is a reddish, blueish, greenish or yellowish color cast, it means something is wrong. In my case, t...

B1 June Pain Killer

Pill #1: The Source of Disappointment Calm down, you are not disappointed by block.one #B1June event. You were just not paying attention that the orgasm happened when the social media platform (voice) news was leaked. How can any other announcement be as exciting after the orgasm? Pill #2: Universal Basic Income The second reason is the universal basic income that was discussed by Dan Larimer before in his articles, but not elaborated during the event. Although voice.com tokens are incentives for quality content sharing and earning from it, but marketing it as a total replacement for ordinary jobs is a bit of a stretch and it wouldn’t have been wise to do so. Which I think some people expected thinking *universal* basic income. Pill #3: The News Leak If Dan or Brendan leaked the social media platform before the event. I wouldn’t blame them much, because some crypto enthusiasts went too far with their imagination, anything that would have been announced during the even...

Headaches & Self Development

The way to self development is not an easy going, peaceful journey there is a price to be paid. One of these penalties, I believe, is headaches. For the sake of imagination and fun, I am referring to the Hulk character. You may have noticed that before and during the transformation the person encounters a painful headache, but after the transformation his new mode is anger but there are no more headaches. In our present times, people seek to escape headaches through painkillers. Many times these headaches could just be malnutrition or oxygen shortage in the brain blood vessels. There are many biological/physiological reasons for a headache, but there are also spiritual/psychological reasons and I believe that occupying the mind with a specific problem for a long period of time may inflict permanent personality changes whose initial symptom will be a headache.
