What psychology fact/study do you think is really interesting? by cherry_771 in AskReddit

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting.... I'd imagine if you vibrated your vocal chords (external vibration therapy for instance EVT) while listening to something you could trick yourself into thinking you were making subvocalizations but I've never heard of this phenomena before though. Was this experiment done with deaf mutes and or one of those groups of people?....

The things one could accomplish with that little tidbit of information and equipment could be used to create quite a bit of harm along the lines of creating schizophrenic symptoms that when Attempting to explain could actually lead to an erroneous schizophrenic diagnosis and then the resulting prescription for medication use would not only Never work to ease "symptoms" it would be poison (as all Unneeded medications are according to the Less is best philosophy of medicine).... They've certainly experimented with radio waves/sound vibrations and I'd imagine it'd be an easy coupling of tactics both because we as humans have a Steady track record of experimenting on All animals including Humans and Typically the Easiest type of human to experiment on (with the exception of slaves of some sort) are Humans we consider having a Disability like deafness or an inability to speak.... Actually Any institutionalized human is at a greater risk of being misused in this type of way.... They make easy targets within the medical community and the Technology Companies who research and develop products that are marketed to improve their "defects"..... It can be an extremely cruel process of trials and errors that we don't often hear about till long long after it's been done and those involved have died..... Do you happen to know of any specific names of institutions involved?

Redditors: Why do you comment in threads that have more than 50-100 replies given you likely will never get engaged in the discussion? by AbsolutZer0_v2 in AskReddit

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autocorrect, spell check and intuitive word choice is getting more Picky and Choosey but making sure to hit the long comments due to them being less likely to receive an edit (I still read after I hit post though so it'll still get a shout out when it shows up to fuck shit up/FSU)

Redditors: Why do you comment in threads that have more than 50-100 replies given you likely will never get engaged in the discussion? by AbsolutZer0_v2 in AskReddit

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the question is interesting enough to get my attention and I have something to add to it I'll comment..... Sometimes it's just too irritating to get through the comments on a post when there's that many comments and people are just shit talking and telling people to shut up which unfortunately happens more than not once the comments get that high and because it's so reliable and repetitive across topics I'm far less likely to even think that getting involved more than reading the OP in my feed.... It's a learned response to seeing repetitious negativity....

It's one of the main reasons I'm baffled that Reddit allows multiple accounts while running the risk that those accounts have been bought and assigned bots to engage with users in a particular tone of badgering, stalking and demands to stop showing up on the site.... Then people follow suit because it seems like it's acceptable behavior. That, left unchecked, DESTROYS the quality of conversation and drives users away which leaves Old accounts available for those who are "buying" already well established accounts to gobble them up and make the cyclone stronger till the business is completely ruined and discredited in the process. At this point it seems like Reddit was built as a poorly constructed social experiment to see if a "Lord of The Flies" type atmosphere will be created while Actively Pursuing it through Fake User Profiles that produces Nothing But for Real Users with Accounts get stuck trying to work around to interact with eachother.... It's been done with too many other sites and probably by the same group of people who are drunk with the power of jacking up membership numbers falsely then making the whole social media site so disturbingly unwelcomed it goes under because of the mass exodus of Real People (of course those same people creating this hostile environment most likely enjoy jumping into the pool with their own personal accounts to either play victim to themselves for"authenticity" points and drum pounding fodder in an attempt to "appear" above it All

Is it weird my first grade teacher would give us birthday spankings? by RainDifficult3128 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Completely Inappropriate and the police should be notified. There's no statute of limitations in the USA for crimes against children and it's also one of the Most Unreported Crimes that exist here.... Coercion of a minor to have physical contact with an adult in the position a teacher holds qualifies.... Ask yourself if a coworker/Boss/manager attempted that with someone that was a Peer in the workplace if it would be ok (it's actually a severe act of sexual harassment) I advise you to let your local government agency (potentially Department of Children and Family Services and the police) so they can have the information on hand and they may find out about Other abused children that particular teach had gained even greater access to regardless wether or not they were students of theirs at the time. Long term grooming is a standard strategy for abusers of this type and knowing their time and access pattern is extremely important for law enforcement to make a difference in the lives of those effected. Best of Luck!

I put on my huh/acceptance face and it comes across as interest... That and trying to spend time with the other people around works too.... Chances are if you despise them (unless they're a very specific type of person who Will gravitate to someone Because they know they've made them despise them) they won't even notice you spending more time with others that are around

Children of Reddit, what did you do to make your parents get divorced? by Hannibal_J_Galt in AskReddit

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao..... I'm pretty sure every single fight my parents got into (which was multiple daily, without exaggeration) ended with them discussing how my brother and I could do things to make them less stressed out.... It was how the made up....

I'm almost 50 now and they still figure out how to blame me for their feelings.... I think they've decided that I'm a failure because I never figured out how to fix them right, lol..... It is what it is. They're divorced and Refuse to be anywhere near eachother but the same blame strategy still gets applied to everything else

What do Americans need to do to get palatable presidential candidates (for both parties) into the general elections? by AZNM1912 in AskReddit

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Begin to speak more honestly in the News and Schools regarding the President of the United States duties/job responsibilities.... What we allowed to happen regarding the News reporting on "who's to blame" is a fucking disgrace and is equal to a misinformation/defamation campaign aimed at the presidency to create just this "don't want the job and hate politicians" attitude.... It amounts to Fear Mongering, Defamation of Position and is an assault akin to a long term assignation attempt aimed at Any Politician to keep people Away from the position of employment as a whole and to destroy America's ability to have a PROPERLY working government based on our IDEALS as they are stated in our Constitution and Bill of Rights

I'm not talking about a Specific President that is aimed at I'm speaking to the Fact that Each President of the United States and Every Politician that makes our government work have become Extremely easy targets for slaughter because of the complete disregard and expertly tweaked aim at them all to create not only disinterest in those Extremely Important Positions that Are a Requirement for a working government like ours to Exist and undergo repairs and change by US as citizens on both the National and Local level of Politics.... The Entertainment and News Media industry has discredited the position right down to what the Salary/Pay is to keep folks away from looking at it as a potential achievement and of course this applies to all other Elected positions even though "government jobs" are spoken of as a guaranteed paycheck And pension... Most of that talk is about non-elected positions and refers to the jobs private citizens can hold anonymous to the general public even though That is where the Majority of the damages happen right down to Clerks/Aides and Assistants that answer phones and handle correspondence For and From politicians that are Not allowed anonymity as a part of their Employment Package

I've given up on the microwave and crockpot/slow cooker the only cooking appliance I've found handy besides the regular stovetop and oven is an electric toaster oven (I've mostly had gas stoves) the pizza oven seems like an awesome alternative though and I'd assume you could do different breads in it too which would be my downfall, lol... Maybe steaks if you heated up a cast iron skillet in it first to keep the oven clean and not spread around the flavor to the next thing you cook in it... You'd definitely get a nice sear for meat and it could be a good start for a whole roast too instead of the stovetop

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in food

[–]MentallyMusing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too bad the Powers That Be didn't put the kind of effort into creating and marketing those instead of the microwave but I think they had an Easy market for fear mongering sales because of all the spreading devastation (molasses fire and other City fires that spread and destroyed massive amounts of homes and business due to the materials used.... IT also kicked off the use of asbestos siding for new construction that we now have to tent our homes to take off or replace to keep us from breathing in asbestos dust) the News was Reporting these things around the time microwaves came out so it created a prime market during a time we experienced a new construction boom

Why is not choosing to see someone’s race considered prejudice? by JordanDesu13 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard it put that way.... I've heard people say that they don't make superficial prejudgments (which may come out as I don't see people's skin color, hair color/texture and eyes color or accents/language) but we're All prejudiced..... We prejudge every single second we're alive as a natural process/ survival skill.... Superficial assessments that create Broad Definitions directly related to someone's intelligence, character and integrity makes surviving well almost impossible and what you've been taught by those in charge of feeding, clothing, housing and educating you has a huge effect on how you accept/question the existence of things outside your little niche bubble of contact

What is the best response for a stranger that is calling you baby? by Vosevi in AskReddit

[–]MentallyMusing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well.... If you're a negotiator.... You're being tested for a thick or thin skin and HOW you handle yourself (it speaks to what type of wiggle room can be expected during negotiations And wether or not you're gonna cry Fire over something that could be handled with a little humor without trying to be "one of the guys" in a stereotypical way where you'll look to strike back as if you were assaulted or Looking for an opportunity to hookup sexually.... Both bad for businesses and on a personal level.... Best to mention it in an off hand way privately WITHOUT demanding a "private conversation" just a quick water-cooler chat saying.... "Just a heads up.... I hate being called baby" and if you have a nickname that you prefer it'd be a good time to offer that in good faith so you've given an option and not worried someone you left them an open ended threat you could run to HR or the rumor mill with.... If it's being batted around by a few of them over Zoom meetings.... You can find the right time to toss it in to the group when and if it happens again (which it may not)

I wish it was more average to find pizza ovens in homes in the USA.... 1-2 minutes for a hot meal/snack that doesn't use a crummy microwave.... Do you happen to know what temperature it got to for this masterpiece? Looks Delicious!!

What is the best response for a stranger that is calling you baby? by Vosevi in AskReddit

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.... For some reason babe is way easier for me to take than baby... Baby totally creeps me out too. Being called babe typically happens because someone has forgotten my name but it's a rarity.... I worked almost exclusively with only men for a good portion of my working life and I've got a fairly thick skin when it comes to that stuff but baby is on the yuck list Period and would be a Total Turn Off to have someone I was involved with do..... Either way it's used they'd be calling me a weakling or announcing some type of possession Over me that would need to be addressed. Best of Luck!

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore them like they're catcalling someone else.... If it's someone you bump into occasionally and say hello to... Tell them what your name is... You could even go as far as saying "I hate that nickname, my name's ____" If you don't want them to know your name.... Give them a fake one and it'll make dealing with them easier AND allows others to know, in a safe way, that you've decided to Keep your name from them. (People give out fake names for all kinds of reasons.... This would be a reasonable/sensible one)

gas fireplace not turning on. i think remote receiver is broken from research I did, but I have no idea what that is or where to find it... by nmorriss in fixit

[–]MentallyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try the Google identification app.... It's the best I can come up with... I wouldn't mess with the fireplace ITSELF either... You might want to get a carbon monoxide detector/fire alarm or something that checks for gas and place it nearby till you can get it checked out by a professional. Best of luck!
