I've been watching and impressed with so many great new movies lately, that I sincerely enjoyed and heartily recommend. Challengers, Hit Man, Problemista, Suncoast, The Fall Guy, The League, LaRoy Texas (Violence), and Late Night With The Devil (Horror) are all excellent movies!

Be Kind And Considerate
It takes more effort to be kind and considerate instead of reacting negatively, but it is worth the effort.
Think If You Should Say Anything
If you wouldn’t say something to someone face to face, while they chop vegetables with a sharp knife, then maybe you shouldn’t say anything at all.
X Is Pronounced Ex
- Tumblr is pronounced tumbler, X is pronounced ex, R is are
- Apple is pronounced apple, Facebook is facebook, Twitter is twitter
- Letters aren't spelled as pronounced, so there is ambiguity saying X
- X is fine, but I think that's one big weakness of the brand "name"
Stop Making Movies About War
I wonder if one of the best ways to find peace on earth would be for us to stop making movies about war.
Split macOS In Two
I wonder if Apple should split macOS into two separate operating systems, instead of simply making macOS touch capable. Make one OS for touch operated MacBook laptops with touchscreens, and one for mouse operated Mac desktops with monitors.
What
- Split macOS in two, maybe renamed MacOS and MacBookOS
- Like current iOS and iPadOS, MacOS and MacBookOS have similar apps
- Make MacBookOS a touch first UI for laptop MacBooks, and later iPads too
- Keep MacOS a mouse first UI for desktop Macs, and also iMacs and servers
- Force allow all iPadOS and iOS apps to work only on MacBookOS, but not MacOS
- Make any iPads that are 11" or larger and all MacBooks both use MacBookOS
Why
- iPads become more powerful by having the full power of MacBookOS
- MacBooks become more useful with touch iPad and iOS apps on MacBookOS
- iPads and MacBooks come with powerful MacBookOS, giving people option
- People have option of the all-in-one MacBook laptop or modular iPad tablet
- The most popular segment of "portable computers" are merged into one OS
- Apple Vision replaces the iPad as an entertainment device that can do work too

Keep the people in your life and follow those who inspire you and trigger your best and most positive thoughts.
Reasons I Might Leave Mac
Here are some reasons why I might choose to leave Mac computers, which are also some major improvements that I think may be able to be changed on future Mac devices.
- 8 GB and 256 GB base instead of 16 GB and 512 GB
- Memory and storage upgrades are way too overpriced
- Promised all iPad and iOS apps would work on Mac
- Most iPad and iOS apps still not available on Mac
- The MacBook screen has an intruding notch cutout
- No USB-C port on both sides of all MacBook devices
Quandaries
- Base M-Series is not optimized for fanless devices
- High throttling misappropriates actual performance
- No OLED/Mini-LED displays or 120Hz refresh for Air?
- No touch MacBooks that support touchscreen apps?
Be Grateful And Hopeful
Hi Lola. "Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due." - William Ralph Inge
- I wonder if worry and anxiety about a possible negative future are best turned into a grateful and hopeful mindset for what is good about today, and how positive the future could be if we dream for it.
- It may be that the things that truly affect us negatively often happen out of the blue, and we are more resilient and able to cope with those events than we realize. A grateful and hopeful mindset may help us enjoy what we have today, and make a future that is happier and better.
