Summarize the following:
Take the issues your friend discussed with you in your conversation to heart to prevent having fights in the future and to reestablish the trust between the two of you.  Be careful to not repeat old mistakes again, but to learn from them instead and move forward.  For example, if you know they get upset when you take their things without asking, then be very sure to not do that in the future. Also, if there are any things you need to work on to improve yourself, begin that process.  For instance, if you are very forgetful and regularly forget plans with your friend, then invest in a planner or use your phone to set reminders for you. Being proactive will help to rebuild your friend’s trust in you by showing them that you are taking concrete steps to avoid a similar situation. During your apology, you very likely made certain promises to your friend that you would either avoid rude behavior or begin doing things differently in the future.  In renewing your friendship with this person, it is important that you keep and continue to keep these promises that you made not only to avoid an argument but to preserve your friendship for the long haul. Take some time with your friend to reflect on the great memories that you have shared with one another.  This would be a great time to bring out your photo album or look at your mutual photos on social media.  Sit and reminisce with your friend to remind each other of these times and the good times to come. You can even try using a little humor to lighten up the situation and reconnect with the person after making an apology. In addition to reflecting, go out and recreate those fun memories!  If you and your friend love to go to the beach, play sports, or go out to the movies, do all of those things again.  This is a great way to remind each other of why you became friends in the first place and to move on from your fight. In focusing on getting your friend to forgive you, it can be easy to be consumed with guilt over your actions.  However, if you know that you have done all in your power to make amends with this person, it is time to make amends with yourself, too.  Beating yourself about something won’t improve the situation, but will likely make it worse.  Forgive yourself!

summary: Avoid future issues. Keep your promises. Reflect on good memories. Do fun things you used to do. Forgive yourself.


Summarize the following:
Give your electronics directions by installing a microcontroller. This is a small computer chip that fits on your circuit board. Using one involves studying a computer programming language like C or C++, then typing out code through your computer. Arduino is a simple way to program microcontrollers for beginners. Plug the Arduino board into your computer, then download the Arduino software to begin coding. Download a simple, free design program like Fritzing on your computer. Use the program to put together your own custom electrical circuit. This helps you understand electrical circuits and schematics better. Also, you can use the program to design something unique to build.  You can also use more complicated PCB design software like Eagle and KiCad. Once you have made a circuit, you can send it to a prototype manufacturer for printing. Deconstruct an old TV, toaster, or another device. Use it to study the electrical components inside. Then, try putting it back together again. You can also attempt to fix broken devices to get a better understanding of how the components work.  Take precautions to avoid electrical shock. Get permission before working on any devices you don't own. No matter what age you are, you can find a class that will help you get started with electronics. Look online for introductory classes to electronics or electrical engineering. You may even find some in your area.  Once you get started, you can move on to more advanced classes or practice making your own electrical circuits. Some high schools and colleges offer courses on these subjects. Also look for free online courses on sites like Coursera or edX. As you progress, you will eventually need to connect wires or fasten them to electrical boards. With a soldering iron, you can glue components together by heating up tin soldering material. This helps you create better electrical circuits that last longer.  Breadboards are easy to use, but the connections fall out over time. Remember to take precautions when working with a hot iron and metal. Never leave the iron on or place it on a flammable surface.

summary: Master a programming language to operate electronics. Design your own schematics using computer software. Take apart electrical appliances for studying. Take a school course on electronics. Practice soldering wires and electronics.


Summarize the following:
Never interrupt, shout over, or insult another person (even if you feel that they really, really deserve it).  Keep in mind that not every pro-lifer is motivated by the desire to slut-shame and control women. Some of them have never been exposed much to other ideas. Some haven't thought through the implications of taking away someone's bodily autonomy. Others had a bad life experience related to abortion, and reacted by condemning all abortion. There are reasons besides cruelty, so don't leap to judgment. Religion and government are separate, and religion and abortion rights are separate. Condemning someone's entire religion is cruel and divisive.  Not all religious people are anti-choice; for example, it is possible for some self identified Christians to be pro-choice. Even if the person in front of you is a flaming bigot, think of the nice religious people, and don't insult their religion. Pro-choice people have long pointed out how "baby" and "unborn child" are manipulative ways to refer to an unwanted fetus. But calling all fetuses "clumps of cells" is also an insensitive use of rhetoric, because there are some fetuses that are truly loved and wanted, and to those parents the fetus is far more special. Stick with the factual term fetus. Dismissing fetuses as mere "clumps of cells" can be deeply upsetting to people who miscarried a loved, wanted fetus. Don't accidentally minimize the hardship of losing a beloved fetus. Transgender men, nonbinary people, and some intersex people of any gender can also get pregnant. Be sure not to step on the toes of transgender people as you fight for the rights of everyone with a uterus. The lives of disabled people aren't automatically worth less than the lives on non-disabled people. While some "fetal abnormalities" are indeed lethal and may require an abortion to save the pregnant person's life, others (like Down syndrome) aren't awful. Be cautious about advocating selective abortion for disabled fetuses, because this can be hurtful to people with disabilities and their families.  If a person only wants to be pregnant if their future baby is non-disabled, that says something about their attitudes towards disabled people. (If they don't think they could handle a needy child, then they probably aren't ready to be parents: there's no way to guarantee that a child won't be disabled, or need a lot of help.) Aborting fetuses with disabilities isn't automatically more "compassionate." Disabled people can experience joy, and bring it to other people too. Non-disabled people experience suffering sometimes. Disability status doesn't predestine someone for happiness or sadness. Instead of lumping in disabled people with phrases like "fetal abnormalities," try using phrases like "fetuses that aren't viable," to specifically refer to fetuses that cannot survive. You are not obligated to change anyone's mind, nor do you have to keep talking to someone who says very rude or upsetting things. This may be personally upsetting to you. Say "I don't want to talk about this anymore," "I need a break," or "I need to get some air" if you can't keep calm. Any decent person will respect your wishes.  If the person makes you feel unsafe, leave right away. Call police if you are being threatened or stalked.
summary: Be polite and courteous when defending your beliefs. Never insult someone else's religion. Don't manipulate rhetoric. Remember that not all pregnant people are women. Be respectful of people with disabilities and their lives. Take a break if you need to.
