well folks my wife is at it again, she caught me drinking beers behind the mower shed so now she's stuffing her nose into my mouth to measure my levels of intoxication. thankfully her family wheat allergy flares up any time she does this immediately after i eat bread so my new routine is to wait for her to settle down for one of her Ironman Powernaps, then i immediately chug a quarter mason jar of moonshine & greedily horf down an entire loaf of grocery store garlic bread such that when she awakes and screeches for my breath she gets a big ole cloud of Celiac Poison.  ahhhhh do,estic bliss! im so glad my life 24/7 proves these childfree redpillers right, 24/7!~a r e a s o n a b l e m a n w r o t e ~

Play posted:I know plenty about it, and operant conditioning is the way animals are trained. You're completely right that it's also teaching, but the two things are not mutually exclusive. It's teaching on the only level possible in the situation, and I definitely don't agree that it's a bad thing but some people do feel that way unfortunately. Operant conditioning is literally the only way organisms learn. Calling it animal training grossly and deliberately over-simplifies things. Its not some 'lower-level teaching' - your college professor, 5th grade teacher, boss, parents, literally every instance in which you learn is operant conditioning. It is not just some form of clicker training. There's a whole sub-discipline of ABA that deals with college instructional design, another for organizational management, etc. Edit: A behavior technician is a high school diploma level position that requires no actual experience or education in the field. Please don't present yourself as an expert on ABA. Autism Speaks spends a lot on research on the cause of autism and the treatment of autism. They will help more people in the long run answering those questions than giving a handful of families money for treatment. There's issues with Autism Speaks, for sure. Admin/advertising spending is crazy high, and they need more representation of autism in their leaders. Their ads are an issue - things like videos of kids with autism beating the poo poo out of people. I don't like them, because it just creates fear and stigma. But I also hate the push to pretend that low-functioning autism doesn't exist. Autism isn't some super-power, and it can be a huge loving tragedy. Unless you don't consider cases like a kid gouging out their own eyes or wandering into the woods at 2am a tragedy, I guess. Dienes fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Mar 30, 2017 |

Bubblyblubber posted:stdh.txt, or at least I hope it didn't. Well, that took a turn. I missed the non-romantic tag and I guessed that it would be the interviewer asking the lady out on a date. Jesus, send that email to his management and HR and file a complaint with the company. My brain also goes wonky when it sees/hears maths, but since she's using that version of the word there might actually be some protections or something in place from the government. At least a sternly worded letter from the Queen Mum about how disappointed she is or something.

It's really a sight to behold. I work with someone like this. She fuckin hates "illegal immigrants" and old people who have the audacity to apply for Medicaid when they still pay premiums on life insurance (that they've probably paying into before they got sick) and she turns every conversation into saying awful things about various groups of people we are supposed to be helping. We process paperwork for health and human services. I don't think she realizes, when she goes off about "illegal immigrants", that the sites she reads her bullshit on use that as code for all Latinos. We have a lot of Latinos in our office and she is loud. She also thinks no Muslim should be allowed to come to the U.S. I don't bother trying to talk to her because somehow she turns every conversation into a way for her to loudly proclaim her awful opinions. The other people I've met with aspbergers have been perfectly nice and feel awful when they don't pick up on social cues.

The letter sounds more like the OP's imagination and self-loathing than something a real human typed and wrote to an interviewee. I've seen people do some pretty irrational things in the IT department, I really wouldn't put it past somebody, especially if they were at a smaller company that doesn't do a lot of hiring in the first place. I agree about the way the letter is written, though.

When they started ripping on me for liking Hannibal more than Doctor Who I should have gotten up and walked out, but I really needed the job and the money. In hindsight I'm really glad I didn't land that one. their server names were split 50/50 between comic book characters and woodstock acts, which I guess is exactly what you would expect from an IT department of four 40-50something grogs with no oversight in a company with <200 employees

When I went for indoctrination for Starbucks in 2001 while I was in college they made everyone there write a 1-page essay on what they loved about coffee. I didn't drink caffeine at all at the time because it made me feel bad. It wasn't exactly hard to bullshit through and I highly recommend Starbucks for anyone in school. They give you benefits if you work more than 20 hours a week and the tips are nice although not high for service industry.

I had to take a math test for my job, but it was art framing, which involves a lot of measuring. I've [24f] been looking after my 4 siblings for the last 3 months and my bf constantly criticizes everything I do quote:
I [26F] found out that my boyfriend [28M] has been talking to a dating coach and getting involved in PUA forums. quote:It really late where I am at, approximately 1:00AM to be exact... I have been really sad, depressed, and anxious over what I found on my boyfriends Mac. I need to get some outside opinions, since I might be telling myself a different story.

I can feel for that lady trying to take care of her siblings and her BF sounds like a turd. He has a point about the yelling, though. Kids eventually become immune to that poo poo if you bust it out constantly and the behavior of the little one kind of exemplifies that. I mean of course she's doing the best she can and he's 100% the wrong guy to be telling her.
