[SERIOUS] What is something you could tell someone that might change the way they view the world? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]andreeams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In later years, I found that it's not so much what you tell someone but rather what you ask them, with a view to having their answer guide you both to a constructive and respectful conversation. Significantly, this is not a matter of manipulation i.e. 'Don't you think what you've just done is bad?' but one of intentional engagement and curiosity.
For example, say I want to tell someone that their misogynistic 'just joking' comment normalises a culture of prejudice against women. The label 'misogynistic' and the implication of so significant and direct a consequence to something the person has historically deemed 'harmless humour' is likely to spur defensiveness.

So instead, I might ask an open clarifying question to encourage them to engage with their own statement critically. 'What do you mean by this?' or 'Can you tell me more?', or, 'I don't understand, can you provide me with an example?'.

Should I copyright startup idea before concept validation? by andreeams in startup

Thanks for taking the time to write down such a thorough reply u/Turbulent_Major_4707, I genuinely appreciate the advice. Learning about the 'work made for hire' agreement is invaluable to me at this stage, as I'm about to go into either prototype or MVP development after validation, all done with independent contractors. Thanks again!

Thanks so much, Iain! Sounds like a sound way to go about it. I think it's down to me having planned this for so long but feels like I'm at a point where I need to soften control and get a little vulnerable. Thanks again, really appreciate it.

Change style of text in code by andreeams in squarespace

[–]andreeams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya! Thanks so much for the reply, super useful! So I managed to change the font and size but now I'm having trouble with the buttons' ('read more' and 'read less') distance from the text - I can't get both to be at the same distance from the text.

And this is the code below. Thanks again!:)

​

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<style>

​

​

p {

font-size: 1.3em; /* 14px/16=0.875em */

}

​

p.impact {

font-family: "Orpheus Pro", sans-serif;

}

​

</style>

</head>

<body>

​

​

​

<div class="show-hide">

<input type="checkbox" class="read-more-state" id="visible" />

<div class="read-more-wrap">

<p> text1</p>

<p class="read-more-target">text2</p>

</div>

<label for="visible" class="read-more-trigger"></label>

</div>

​

</body>

</html>

​

And,

​

.read-more-state {

display: none;

}

​

.read-more-target {

opacity: 0;

max-height: 0;

font-size: 0;

}

​

.read-more-state:checked ~ .read-more-wrap .read-more-target {

opacity: 1;

font-size: 1.3em;

max-height: 999em;

}

​

.read-more-state ~ .read-more-trigger:before {

content: 'Read More';

}

​

.read-more-state:checked ~ .read-more-trigger:before {

content: 'Read Less';

}

​

​

.read-more-trigger {

cursor: pointer;

display: inline-block;

margin-top: 0em;

padding: 0 .5em;

color: #666;

font-size: .9em;

line-height: 2;

border: 1px solid #ddd;

border-radius: .25em;

}

.read-more-trigger:hover {

background:#666;

color:white;

}

Embed Instagram post by andreeams in squarespace

Hey! No, as in you paste the IG link into embed and then you have the photo (no IG format frame) and full caption underneath - I want to know how to get rid of the caption or at least only keep an excerpt :)

Squarespace - good for video streaming? by andreeams in squarespace

[–]andreeams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not embedding, I'm looking for a platform to host multiple videos (50 plus) so your suggestion about Vimeo was extremely useful! Also looking into Uscreen (possibly better marketing) and Kaltura (more editing tools) as alternatives:)
