I wonder if there were two buttons, one for the shock, and another which gives them something more rewarding. I wonder how fast or slow they give up on the more rewarding response because that too becomes boring. I suppose like a song that sounds great at first but you hate it after x times
That was the same for me. I didn't realise I had high anxiety especially around people interaction. I just went with what people told me, that I'm introverted. It took me way too long to figure this out and I only did so because my anxiety was getting worse and about more things. Once I was on medication I realised holy shit, I needed this like 20 years ago!
I'm now able to join clubs, meet in large groups. But like you it's now a choice. I generally do the social thing then leave or take some time out when batteries are low.
That happened to me, but it's a block in the town centre. Houses next door, full on broadband. Flat, nope. BT lines. Connection wasn't very stable. I gave up on it and bought a 5G broadband hub. It works amazing.
He sits down in his old local pub and catches up with old mates after finally completing his journey. His mate Dave points out that he completely missed Africa. Off he goes again.
I see what you mean after looking at it for a while. Now it looks like a chicken wish bone shape leg to leg glued on to one large leg coming from her lower waist
We try to teach our kids not to lie but then lie to them about Santa. When they question sensible ideas like we don't have a chimney some other made up lie comes out, prolonging the deception.
I do agree. Also in my company (manufacturing) IT seems to be seen as a knowledge resource. People ask questions which isn't really IT, its more like "how do I do this part of my job which my predecessor didn't explain or document in any shape or form".
I listened to a podcast recently about potatoes. The ones in Europe are all one species. They can't grow variants from seeds because they have 4 chromosomes which means growing from seeds doesn't give the same variant. They are basically clones. If a variant is lost it cannot be brought back, it's gone for good.
I did photography at college a few years before digital technology took off. The old dodge and burn was way more fun. There was no undo button so you had to remember what gets done where and keep refining the print. It took ages. And the chemical smells were amazing!
Had similar many years ago. Was about 3am on a country road. Thought there was a cyclist. Why the fuck is there a cyclist in the middle of no where at this time of night. Slowed way down to a crawl as I as approached. It was a red reflector on a post outside a farm house.
