To get consumers to go buy things,
via the media,
corporations make individuals feel
so superior to most people
they feel disgusted of others
and stop interacting with them.

The glorification of movie stars, and the innate—it seems—cognitive bias that makes everyone think they're better than almost everyone else, help induce "consumer self-isolation".

Writing down the exact words each individual says (or only the keywords) and/or electronically recording the words to deter speakers in a discussion, argument, conversation, or negotiation from making false statements, saying they said something other than what they said or saying they did not say something they said.
Because human beings tend to make false statements it is extremely helpful to practice Truth Upholding.

I did indoor running—especially at night, in the small house I rented in Pharr, Texas I moved my bed away from the wall and ran around the house daily.

Though a painting's frame is separate from the painting, it influences how viewers see it. Any human interaction can be framed as, for example, an urgent complaint, a compliment, something serious and safety or life-threatening, or as something positive, pleasant, friendly, funny, inquisitive, etc. How a person presents himself to others by means of 1) his body's shape (athletic, fat, or skinny), 2) how he is dressed, 3) his hair, 4) what he says and the tonality with which he says each thing, 5) how confident or insecure or fearful or loving he is, and other details frame the situation he created, which whether the person knows it or not are modified by the five things above, and affect and can even determine it's outcome. To fool someone or for other purposes, individuals frame situations as something other than what they are. Some individuals can modify or even flip a "situation framing", to their advantage.

A method to differentiate a dash placed at the end of a line to indicate that a word has been separated into two parts because it did not fit on a line, from a hyphen inserted between two or more words, such as "hands-on", "brother-in-law", or "state-of-the-art".
It is best to differentiate a dash placed at the end of a line to indicate that a word has been separated into two parts because it did not fit on a line, from a hyphen in a compound word such as "hands-on".
A "compound word" is comprised of two or more words and has a hyphen between each word.
If a line ends in "able-" and the next line says "bodied", readers automatically interpret "able", followed by "body", to mean "ablebodied". Most people do not remember that the correct way to write "ablebodied" is with a hyphen (able-bodied). I call this method to differentiate dashes from hyphens the "next line hyphen".
If the last word on a line of text says "for-", and the first word of the next line says "profit", the logical way to interpret the dash is as being a dash, though in reality, the writer means “for-profit”, not “forprofit”.

Thoughts, actions, procedures, and mechanisms that study, find and disseminate ways to prevent pain, often by preventing a specific error from recurring. Conflict resolution is one of many pain prevention methods.
The fear of feeling pain, and the need to not feel it, move people to analyze errors to find error-preventing methods, procedures, and mechanisms.

Pain prevention and error prevention engendered one another.
It is best to immediately find ways to prevent an error from recurring.
