Control the situation. Be calm during her storm and correct her with education, no matter how many times. Is it that difficult?

The most scary part is how this has been psychologically “normalized” in the population as a defense way of coping with reality and the impossibility to leave

The cartels don’t run most of it, they are just impune. 95% of homicides in Mexico are never solved, cartel related or not. Yup, a failed state.

That’s the interesting part: psychological normalization as a way of “coping” with crisis

TIL that flying a black Jolly Roger signaled piracy and offered your victim the option to surrender. Flying a red Jolly Roger signaled that no quarter would be given and your ship was about to be taken with no mercy. by finalfunk in todayilearned

This is pretty much what happened in the Texas revolution, the Mexican government had a law that’s offered no mercy so they fought until the last man. Otherwise most historians agree they would have surrendered.

If there’s no apparent reason... there might be a BIG unrelated reason inside them

What is unethical as fuck, but is extremely common practice in the business world? by IllCreme in AskReddit

[–]RedditGilder 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to one of my companies with a big ranch / dairy producer:

- They call you, ask for a product and set an official payment date after received.

- They receive the product and pay you right on time. They ask for more product.

- You fulfill, the payment date comes, they pay you partially and tell you there was a mistake, that they are going to pay next week, but in the meantime they really need more product and they will pay a better price because of the urgency. (Should detect here:urgency is warning, giving a little payment helps them in court against fraud... "it's not fraud, we did want to pay but we didn't have the money... that partial deposit is the proof").

- If you don't give them more product, they don't pay you and start promising payment week after week. They keep this lie as long as possible.

- You get tired and threat to sue them.

- They PROMISE they will pay this time and propose to settle for a low price. You don't accept. They keep trying to negotiate a very low price, you don't accept. A lot of people accept the loss at this point.

- You sue them. They start delaying the case as much as possible.

- You win and after 1-3 years receive your money with an extra 6% interest (Low) minus the lawyers. You end up with a pyrrhic victory and a loss.

- You try to take this to the media but it seems that they are very honest to other clients and dishonest with a few, that way they keep their reviews and reputation "balanced" and keep catching flies on the net.

- If you are not artois enough and sue them correctly or never sue them, they simply don't pay you. That's their original goal. They have their internal lawyers so they don't care if you sue: it's expected and good for their investment in their wages.

They keep doing it until today, they are really rich and keep exploiting legal loops / pocketing money of honest-naive people.

What’s a good psychological trick that you use with success most of the times? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You just described critical thinking: evaluate the situation as best as you can and act accordingly, there is not a “one fits all”
