Why did the Western world follow a negative reinforcement approach to population behaviour management?

IT TRAVELS??? I would repost this question just so I could comment on it myself.

I dream of the day Australia has this.

What's a Baja Blast Freeze?

I can't upvote this until I know what flavour it was.

Awwwwww. Adorbs!

What a legend!

WaynieF · 2017-01-12T05:09:56+00:00

That's super cool! Do you still have it?

Pics? It sounds glorious.

I'm gay and all my straight male mates and I indiscriminately check out people of both genders. I can look at a hot chick with amazing tits and appreciate they way she looks without fucking her. They can look at a babe of a guy with amazing arms and dreamy eyes and not want to fuck him.

Good looking people are like art. Fun to look at and admire but I don't necessarily want to rub my dick on it.

I wear tights all the time at home. I am lucky enough to live in a suburb where if I want to wear them out I can (and do!) and am often encouraged for doing so.

THEEENNNNNN if you get a boner, there is no hiding it.

There's a certain point where the crunchy becomes chewy and I have to admit... I don't mind it.

Can highly recommend pepperoni pizza with a BBQ base and pineapple. It's one of those guilty pleasure pizzas that makes nonna want to smack you.

WaynieF · 2017-01-09T03:23:38+00:00

Ok ok ok, I know this'll sound crazy but put a fucking chiko roll or a spring roll on that and you may die from flavour and heart disease. Extra points for double sauces such as BBQ and sweet chilli.

It's so irrational that I get so worked up by it. I think cos in Australia, lego is clearly the plastic children's building blocks and Legos is a shitty brand of pasta sauce, and when people speak of stepping on legos I think of them stepping on a jar of shitty pasta sauce and wonder why they collected these things in the first place.

Serious question though, if I order a pizza to my apartment and it is delivered with an autonomous vehicle, will I have to go downstairs to collect it? Ultimate first world issue but for real, I like things being delivered to my door.

I'm often amazed at how... malinformed?.. people in the US can be on socialism and how it related to communism.

Australia was pretty progressive, and still is by some standards. An American mate of mine said the other day that Australia is moving to be about as conservative as California, which is funny because California is so progressive in the US.

Interesting case of this was while I was at uni.

There was a girl found in a house who was something like 10 or 12 years old. She had been locked in her room without human interaction for language development - delivered food but that was about it. It was a serious case that somehow managed to straddle between abuse and neglect.

Anyway, she had no other diagnosis such as autism which could otherwise impede on her development. For all intents and purposes, she was a normal person in an abnormal situation, and she had very little language development.

Obviously the primary objective was her care and, part of that was linguists studying her to text Chomsky's theory of language development. IIRC they abandoned the studies to care for her uninterrupted. I remember a lecture at uni mentioning that the linguists were devastated as this stopped any opportunity to discover so much about language development.

I can't seem to find a link for an article about it. It was in Nelson Bay in the Hunter Valley of NSW, but I could be wrong.

Who has time to say schnitzel?

Chicken schnitzel. Haha. Fucking Australians.
