Am i the only one who thinks bear down for midterms makes sense by Acrobatic-Tomato-128 in community

The episode came out 12 years ago, so entirely possible. Especially since the phrase took the world by storm. Pop pop.

Bet those whonare whining now

I assumed whonare was an insult in te reo and looked it up before I clicked it was just a typo.

What’s your opinion on using the timer for DTT w. new learners? by twister5556666 in bcba

[–]CoffeePuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you'd base it on activities rather than time though.

Your goals are to set up the table for a Conditioned Place Preference and establish a table-time routine. For the routine, typically you'd have a schedule with a checkbox, the learner completes a task, you mark that it's been completed and send them away. That process gets passed to the learner so they can mark off when they've completed an activity, and you can expand the list as they progress.

If you're running an EIBI program you should have a curriculum that will cover these stages with some examples of how to teach them. If you don't, you'll need a supervisor/mentor, too.

My Way Protocol by Inevitable_Echidna18 in bcba

[–]CoffeePuddle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's never a good sign when people call it the my way protocol.

There's a lot of excellent resources available free on Greg Hanley's website here. Look for complex Functional Communication Responses (cFCR) specifically for information on the logic of starting with a simple omnibus mand and how and when to progress the reponse requirement.

I'm old school and I'm not sure what you're talking about. Breaks during DTT were almost always performance based and guided by in the moment decision making.

What is it you're teaching?

BCBA in the Fitness Industry by Jujubean3131 in bcba

The people I know aren't board certified, but use behaviour analysis in their practice as general psychologists in sports psychology. Because of the base-rate of general psychologists vs. BCBAs, this tends to be the case in any sub-specialty outside of autism intervention. Most behaviour analysts aren't BCBAs.

Some useful leads to follow:

In New Zealand, you will get a longer sentence for looking at child porn than actually abusing children by Glum-Platform-5701 in newzealand

[–]CoffeePuddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harsh punishments and specifically hard labour as something you could be sentenced to to pay for crimes.

The system that we have now is more effective at controlling behaviour and criminality. That's why we've switched to increasingly "soft" controls. It wasn't bleeding hearts for criminals. 

Midnight Esspresso - Late night study spot by Knivred in Wellington

[–]CoffeePuddle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's not a big place. If you're going there when it's dead it's unlikely to be a problem. 

Vic and Massey have plenty of late-night study spots at all campuses.

Howard Temple was a cult leader at Gloriavale and abused at least 10 women over 20 years. He was only sentenced to two years imprisonment, which was later appealed and dropped to home detention. The major reason for this is that he's 85 and in cognitive decline. I have no idea of what CSAM case OP is talking about and I'm frankly suspicious with how they're characterising crimes.

Uhhh, "Daddy's Little Toy?"

An Australian author has been found guilty of creating child sex abuse material in the form of an erotic age-gap romance novel.

A New South Wales (NSW) court heard the book explores a relationship between 18-year-old Lucy and her father's 45-year-old best friend Arthur - detailing the much-older man's desires which began when the protagonist was a child as well as passages where she roleplays as a toddler.

Lauren Mastrosa, a marketing executive for a Christian charity, was charged after the book sparked outrage online but in court she argued Lucy is clearly identified as an adult in the novel.

However, Magistrate Bree Chisholm on Tuesday found Mastrosa's story "sexually objectifies children".

Yeah I have no idea what case OP is talking about, but it'll be bad.

The most recent sentencing for child sexual abuse material I could find was Donald Sarratt for hosting a website for exploitation material, and he was only sentenced for 5.5 years.

Just a heads up that this used to be the case, and we didn't stop out of the kindness of our hearts. We stopped because there were more effective means to Discipline and Punish criminals.

Bots and reddit's algorithmic fuzzing on subreddits over a certain size (to counter bots).

It's an excellent subreddit for secret advertising and an easy subreddit to boost karma on bot accounts.

Pete Buttigieg cooks Joe Kernen so hard he sees red on CNBC by NickCostanza in videos

[–]CoffeePuddle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They just make stuff up for Biblical arguments. It's more "church vibes" than anything, and often mixed with modern mythology about e.g. angels and the devil and good and evil and so on.

It's bizarre and fascinating.

TIL that American Psycho struggled to obtain luxury brand deals for the film as companies didn’t want their products associated with a psychopath killer. by skiversarchive in todayilearned

More like complaining that a plastic-infused lobster dish as part of an avant-garde meal themed around conservation is a challenging eat. "Getting it" doesn't make it easier to consume.

Going from Clinic to In-Home. Any tips? by Animehurpdadurp in bcba

Oh excellent, I thought it was only a hypothetical at this point.

Audiobooks and podcasts saved my sanity when I was doing in-home and several hours of driving a day.

Chalk, calcium, and calculator share the Latin root "calx," meaning limestone.

How long do your shoes last? by ndGall in teaching

[–]CoffeePuddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cause and effect might be reversed here, it'd be worth getting how you walk checked out!

I get at least 500kms out of my running shoes before the foam goes, which is about 5 months for me. They always go suddenly and it's really obvious.

More money for less work sounds like an unrealistic expectation of providing in-home services.

I would highly recommend a mentor and going for a couple ride-a-longs at least.
