Meanwhile my taste In women: muscle mommies.

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

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.

I (average user) was given a case of sensitive information and told to edit it/update it/reupload it. Using my work device was the expectation…but I had not been granted any paid software to do so.

The IT guy was like “you can use this website” which was almost certainly a violation given the nature of the data. It was maddening because I knew (I also did not use one of those websites).

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.

 

(This is just meant to be lighthearted.)

On my way home after a long week, a chonky orange crossed my path. Lucky me! I think?
