Actually, in cognitive therapies, the assumption is that depressed people focus on negative outcomes. It is difficult to pull yourself out of it; unfortunately I am not naturally optimistic (not naturally pessimistic either , tho slightly more towards pessimistic).fresh_42 said:

Plus, depressed people are by far more interesting.
My cousins are all tall. Which sucks for me. But it's okay, what I lack of tall I make up for jumping like a ninja all over the place.Silicon Waffle said:Short people want to be tall, but do tall people want to be shorter ?
If you're one head (skull) taller than me, that'll be too *matched*. I will stand on my toes then.
You could say that again.fresh_42 said:Plus, depressed people are by far more interesting.

One can have both. And the degree of depression varies a lot, among people and through times. I agree on your definition on interesting people. Maybe I shortened it because depressed people always have a fundamental amount of complexity at hand.WWGD said:

Likely true; memory is mood -specific. Kind of strange, a tip that was apparently successful (tho I don't have hard data): students were told to replicate, during their exams, the mood they had while they were studying.fresh_42 said:
That might have been a trick to achieve a level of high concentration while simultaneously forgetting the exam situation. When I tutored kids in math I experienced that concentration is half the work. They are rarely just stupid.WWGD said:
Interesting you mention that; I have been reading the book 'Focus' by D.Goleman. Interesting, though, ironically, it goes OT towards the end. Anyway, it seems like the main drags of focus are sensory and emotional. I am actually trying to observe my attention process, so I can manage it more effectively. But I do agree on its importance, managing should be taught in school.fresh_42 said:

Although I agree to some extent with the point that this cartoon is making, I believe reality is more complex. However, that is probably why it is a cartoon.Sophia said:

You have quite permissive gun laws in the USA, don't you? I would say: take advantage.WWGD said:
But we also have one of the highest incarceration rates, and if I take advantage of my gun rights, I will also be taking advantage of a prison stay. And these prisons are nothing like the Swedish ones.Krylov said:
You don't have to kill the person, just the sound installation. After all, the sound is trespassing on your property. I could imagine this may be sufficient cause.WWGD said:
I used to have a car alarm that would send out a loud screech to a pager over radio frequencies before it went off about 10 seconds later. I would purposely trip the alarm at a stop light whenever someone was blasting their radio and annoying people. The noise that would come out of their radio sounded like they were blowing radio circuits which would lead them to immeadiately turn it down. Maybe you can find something similar.WWGD said:

It was using radio frequencies so I assume so.WWGD said:

Yes, I like such cartoons. or all statements that offer readers chances to self-reflect, think to themselves without any exact pointers to who they are in either real or imaginary life.Krylov said:

What a pity. I have thought about capacitors, forced discharge and so on, but your obvious association to a chemical solution would probably make more fun. However, the Burn Notice device has the big disadvantage that it is supposed to escape the place to avoid that you get involved into the aftermaths. And as far as I could guess you don't live in MiamiWWGD said:
I loved the show, could swear by it, but the part of them avoiding the cops after just about any situation seemed too unrealistic for me to suspend disbelief.fresh_42 said:What a pity.

Me, too. Sort of MacGyver, Hawaii-Five-O and Miami Vice all packed into a 45 min James Bond adventure.WWGD said:

In here they have marathons of the series from time to time. They are likely to have them there in Germany too: Das brennen merken? Or maybe you get US cable and see it in English?fresh_42 said:
They are probably available on DVD or an internet platform. Some channels tend to show the same shows again after some time. Mostly SciFi as Star Trek, Stargate and its spin-offs or the Bellisario stuff.WWGD said:
