piss tape israel posted:Can you even do that? I'm reading that as turning in your two weeks while you're halfway through your vacation. Not sure if I can do it, but given my super has suggested a leave of absence it might work out (my job has hosed my mental health but don't know if I'd have to come back after the leave). People know I'm leaving, but the timing has been up in the air for a bit. I'm mostly looking to keep my insurance so I can keep my shrink while job hunting. Also realized I gotta check with benefits to see if I need to stick around until the new year to get my 401k contribution in which case I'd bump it back a week. Ready as poo poo for 10 hour days to not be the regular. C-Euro posted:^^ It's not exactly the same but my last boss gave notice and then decided that he would rather use his last couple of vacation days rather than have them cashed out so he just dipped for good in the middle of his final week. Thanks buddy! Looking forward to at least a month off.

swickles posted:I'm waiting to board my flight and there is this dude doing street magic/hypnotism at my gate. As TFF's resident amateur hypnotist, here's what I'd do: grab the people he's just hypnotized, one by one, within 3-4 minutes of them being finished with the street dude. In a firm but calm voice have them sit next to you. Have them relax the arm nearest you. Taking them by the wrist, do a mild but firm pull on the arm and say SLEEP. Immediately start talking them downward saying "drifting, floating, relaxing, that's right..." and then "In a moment I"m going to count to 3 and have you wake up, and when you do, no matter what is printed on your ticket, you will know for certain that you are seated in 12A on this next flight. You'll board the plane, look at your ticket, and it will say 12A. If there is anyone else in 12A, or saying that they're supposed to sit in 12A, you will get very upset, and demand to speak to who's in charge. 1, breathing deeply, 2, feeling fresh air coming into your lungs, sitting back upright, and 3 eyes open feeling great." Then repeat that with the next 5-6 people.

The Big Jesus posted:Hypnotism is all bs though, right? You can get into an argument forever on whether it is or not. I did a thread on it in Ask/Tell, it devolved quickly. For me, it is real. What I just suggested re: airport, I am 95% confident I could pull off, and create an unholy mess for some unlucky stewardess. It works better with certain people, like ~30% or so of people are amazing at following hypnotic suggestion, and this is where stage shows succeed, because if I pull one person at random, I have a 30% chance of finding someone like that, whereas with an audience of 50+, I'm guaranteed quite a few. What it does: if I'm in a group of people, and ask one of them next to me to sing the Star Spangled Banner like Whitney Houston, they'd probably demure, then start and immediately apologetically smile after the first line, or giggle, and get embarrassed and stop after about 10 seconds. Under hypnosis, that person would belt that poo poo out and add all sorts of vibrato and whatnot regardless of their talent level, regardless of the people around them laughing and pointing or whatever, and crank it high volume all the way until the end. If I'm feeling tricksy, I'd give them amnesia of the entire performance. (It'd still be in their memories, just locked away, inaccessible until commanded or triggered).

I went to a hypnosis show in Vegas once, and attempted to get hypnotized. I made it to the final round of people to be chosen for the act, but couldn't quite cut it. I felt like I was halfway there, but couldn't truly let go.

You can still probably be hypnotized, but stage guys are looking for the quickest to drop, easiest to work with, and being funny looking helps

My college campus went smoking free (that means everyone started vaping instead), and one of the things they did to help was hire a hypnotist who apparently stops people from smoking, and I've always wondered how that works.

He picked a guy wearing a MAGA hat. He claimed at the end of all the people he hypnotized they would have an orgasm every time they shook someone's hand until midnight. I have a hard time believe people could do that.

It’s like a cognitive-behavioral tweak, but I think it would take a decent amount of one on one work, like 6-7 sessions, to have an effect. Smoking is a powerful loving addiction.

I have a hard time believe people could do that. The orgasm one is interesting - if you don’t do any leadup, it’s not going to be an actual one, even if the subject thinks it is. They’ll mimic it, and swear they had one, but you can tell the difference.

Yeah, I kinda wish they took a better tactic because with smoking people tend to avoid doorways and things like that to be polite. Vaping people want to do it in the middle of class.

I’m about to set a North Korea- themed bar crawl, complete with cave bunkers and shochu stops. There’ll be a DMZ after which we leave landmines(beer cans of Hite Ice) on the ground for people to stop and drink.

Uterine Lineup posted:Look up what happened to the lady that ruined the baked Alaska. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/...-and-smell.html She was framed! OK no, she shouldn't have taken dude's ice cream out, for sure; but it was out for like one minute. And the guy who binned it was being stupid, he could have poured off the melted bits and kept the frozen center and at least had something to hand in. Also it was messed up for them to make an ice cream challenge for bakers cooking outside in hot weather with not enough freezer space to go around, come the gently caress on. I have a friend who lost his sense of smell and most of his taste after a head trauma, it's totally a thing that can really happen. Anyway neither of them had a prayer of making it to the quarterfinals much less the finals, but it was still a rare bit of controversy for such a low-drama show. ...My wife and I are getting a cold. I loving hate getting colds just in time for christmas. Plus I have to get up at 7 AM on christmas day to accommodate my family's insistence on how things Have To Be Done. It's like this every year, I can never get enough sleep that night, so I spend christmas day in a fog as it is.

The VP who's been giving me so much work these past couple of months was out yesterday and won't be back until the 26th. I'm only working this morning and then I won't be back until the 29th, and even then I might decide that I'm too jetlagged to come in to work. So I get at least a week free of this guy  I did decide to write up all of the open requests that he needs to review (seems like every loving thing that I do has to go through this guy), but I'm willing to bet that the effort will go unappreciated, if not just straight-up unnoticed.

I swear if the Pirates just give up Gerrit Cole to the Yankees for nothing but their best prospects the city should just bust out the guillotines and hunt down Bob Nutting. Also it amazes how bad the hot takes in CD can get where someone is ranting about how well established actors/directors should be ashamed of themselves for taking paychecks to work in Disney/Marvel movies because that leads to those movie having "prestige" to them because something something "Disney is killing independent filmmaking!!!"
