### <center>The following is a fictionalized life hacks program.</center> ### <center>No limbs were lost in the making of this transcript.</center> ---  __MISS Direct:__ *We're live in five, four, three, two, one...* __MISS Articulate:__ Good morning everyone, and welcome to today's simulcast of the MISSES LifeHAX program. We are transmitting live over the Global Satellite Network from the campus of the Millennial Institute for Social Sciences. I am your host, MISS Articulate, and in this first segment, we will be discussing anger and how to manage it. Joining me in studio this morning are MISS Behavior and MISS Diagnose. Welcome, girls. __MISS Behavior:__ Thank you for having me. __MISS Diagnose:__ It's good to be here. __MISS Articulate:__ We will be getting to viewer questions shortly, but before that, MISS Behavior, could you give us a brief overview of the techniques or philosophies we will be basing our advice on this morning? __MISS Behavior:__ I'd love to. Those of us who are MISS designates adhere to a motto or creed called MISSES—Modesty, Intelligence, Spirituality and Strength Elevate Society. We strongly believe that through these four principles, all of society's needs can be fulfilled, and all of society's ills can be held in check. __MISS Articulate:__ Thank you. MISS Diagnose. Could you give us some examples of how the MISSES creed might be engaged as it pertains to anger? __MISS Diagnose:__ Absolutely. All four principles, applied separately or in unison, would very much help to curb anger. When we are modest, we recognize we have weaknesses, that we have room for improvement and that we are in our way no better than anyone else due to our imperfections. With intelligence, we can assess the situation we are in, determine what is truly going on, and find a way to solve whatever it is that might be upsetting us or others. With spirituality, we seek for inner tranquility, guidance, and protection from those that might do us harm. We acknowledge the existence of a higher power who will provide us with what we need in times when our abilities are insufficient. And strength, when applied appropriately, can help keep our aggressive tendencies in check through will and discipline. __MISS Articulate:__ Very good. With that, let's take our first question. __MISS DIRECT:__ *We have a voice and image encryption request.* __MISS Articulate:__ I understand our viewer does not want to be identified. Okay, viewer, what's your question? __Unidentified Viewer:__ I'm always so angry. I just want to rip people limb from limb. I want to do it now. TO YOU! __MISS Diagnose:__ That's disMember! __MISS Articulate__: Good morning, disMember. It is you, is it not? __disMember:__ Yeah, it's me. I don't know how you all do it. __MISS Diagnose:__ Hello? MISS Diagnose? __disMember:__ Oh, yeah, right. Hi, girls. __MISS Articulate:__ Miss Behavior, what can you tell us about disMember? __MISS Behavior:__ Well, for starters, tearing people apart— __disMember:__ Limb from limb. There's a difference. __MISS Behavior:__ Excuse me. Limb from limb—is never appropriate in any scenario. Ever. __disMember:__ Never? __MISS Behavior:__ Ever. __disMember:__ What if someone eats my favorite sandwich because I left it for three days in the fridge in the boss's lair and forgot to put my name on it? __MISS Behavior:__ Very specific, but no. Not appropriate. __disMember:__ What about if someone snores really, really loud? Is it okay, then? __MISS Behavior:__ No. __disMember:__ What if... __MISS Behavior:__ No. __disMember:__ ...they call me... __MISS Behavior:__ No. __disMember:__ ...a sissy la-la? Surely, that would... __MISS Behavior:__ No. __disMember:__ Hmmmm. You know, this is very helpful. Very calming. Maybe I need to reevaluate my very existence. __MISS Behavior:__ That would be good. __MISS Articulate:__ Ahem. MISS Diagnose, what would you suggest our... associate do to tamp down this desire of his to de-limb others? __disMember:__ Yeah. What you got, doc? __MISS Diagnose:__ I'm not a doctor. __disMember:__ That's right. You're NOT. __MISS Diagnose:__ Normally, I would say someone's propensity for violence, such as the kind disMember describes, is derived from a deep seeded sense of worthlessness... __disMember:__ I'm worthless? __MISS Diagnose:__ ...that then manifests itself through extreme and severe measures. My suggestion if such were the case... __disMember:__ You don't want your LEGS, do you? __MISS Diagnose:__ ...would be that he undergo profound resonate cognitive regeneration... __disMember:__ Meditation? __MISS Diagnose:__ Yes. Constant, around the clock, twenty-four hours of it. __MISS Articulate:__ Interesting. __disMember:__ Not to me, it's not. __MISS Articulate:__ Now, you prefaced this with normally. What did you mean by that? __disMember:__ Hey! I picked up on that, too. What gives? I'm not worthless enough or something? __MISS Diagnose:__ disMember is not normal. __disMember:__ Now, we're getting somewhere! __MISS Diagnose:__ He's a creation of his evil mistress, disMISS, and therefore must be stopped at all costs. __disMember:__ Ooooooo... You've got me shaking, missy. __MISS Direct:__ *Team MISS has been dispatched. Keep him occupied.* __MISS Articulate:__ Ah, well, yes. Very fascinating. disMember, do you think you could hold with us through a commercial break? We'd love to talk to you some more. __disMember:__ Sure. Why not? I've got nothing better to do. Do you think my cohort disEmbowel could join us? I'm sure little MISS Diagnose would love to figure him out. __MISS Articulate:__ The more the merrier, disMember! We'll be right back after these messages. --- ### <center>About This Post</center> This fictional video transcript was inspired by @dragosroua and his [June 30 Days Writing Challenge](https://steemit.com/challenge30days/@dragosroua/announcing-the-june-30-days-writing-challenge-life-hacks).
