Mine is rice cakes and seltzer. Fall asleep before hungry comes back.

Worked at a Best Buy back in 2018. I’m 5’. I thought I was going to be trampled several times by aggressive packs of customers. I quit a few days later.

Absolutely nothing like a used tampon.

Depends. And it can change based upon environment and philosophical needs. Lots of variables/case by case. But the tl;dr is charisma is just pairing yourself with positive social feelings…so the sight of you becomes rewarding for many people.

You don’t specifically need charisma to change behavior. Charismatic behavior makes you a reward. Hence people are more likely to engage to please you. But there are other ways to be rewarding.

Manipulation and coercion are different.

Manipulation is altering people’s motivations until they do the thing you want them to do even if they think it’s their idea in the end. This includes benign changes to environmental conditions. For example, making classroom A entirely analog and classroom B digital fun cracktopia. Some individuals are really rewarded by one or the other.

Now, I want to alter (change, not necessarily increase or decrease, this is subjective)the motivation to go to cracktopia specifically so i bring those conditions in line with classroom A, analog. The motivation will therefore be altered and reward will be signaled by some other thing. There is no overt punishment or coercion here, just altering of motivation.

Coercive control necessarily involves aversive items such as punishers or failure to withdraw aversive conditions such as holding a nose until a mouth opens. Or physical full hand-over-hand prompting. Might there be a reason that is acceptable for this? Yeah, some people need help with items of hygiene even into adulthood and even with years of intervention and therapy require physical assistance.

That is to say, both coercive control and manipulation without coercive control can work to the benefit or be extremely detrimental.

You don’t need any charisma if you can alter motivation. As a behavior analyst nobody likes but everyone listens to.

Yeah good point. I’m interested to see how it will work out, and whether it will become less convenient to have a whole gaming setup anymore.

I might get brave and try it on this older machine. I’m not super savvy. I can put Legos together…like a good millennial, but that’s about it. One foot at a time etc.

It’s time for me to build a new gaming pc. With the current cost and this…(keeping in mind I’m no computerologist) I may just get the Steam Machine.

Dating and already having nearly grown children in your thirties is also weird. People assume you aren’t allowed to have standards (single moms are for fun) or to raise their small children for them (mommy shopping). Or you are looking for a replacement parent (absolutely not). It’s…something.

5 minutes or so.

These guys just need to stick with toys and leave women out of it.

Hmm. I think algebra 1, 2, intro stats, and geometry for core curriculum. Anything beyond like calculus(I took) as elective or college credit. It’s been years but I think I took stats over trig.

Personal finance should be taught but not at the expense of other maths.

I didn’t, I did hear about them. I didn’t have much access. I think the next one I ended up playing was sim city.

Ah, the early SIM games were so comforting. Thanks friend.

Did you know you are an animal? :)

There was this game by Maxis called Sim Town. It was my first experience with sim games as a kid.

My skills travel pretty far. But with my gender id not be allowed to use them.
