Nah, I listened to a lot more of that stuff when I was writing my dissertation. That and heavy metal. (Now how's that for an odd combination?) Hmm...maybe that's the problem, I need to go back to listening to country music...my thinking cap might actually be a cowboy hat! :eek: :biggrin:

Not a chance! You put one of those things on, it knocks 30 points off of your IQ like you'd been whapped upside the head with a 'stupid' stick. :eek:

You think a protege learns by just listening and learning by example? Hands-on experience is essential.

Its dirty laundry mostly
 
  • #1,929
What if you were talking to someone and he was otherwise normal, but did not use facial expressions? Utter poker face. Imagine that situation and tell me how you would feel.

The first thing you want to do--human instinct--when talking to someone is placing their archetype. If they don't fit into what you already understand and can predict, you don't want to talk to them. Just more of the tribal instinct at work. You know how the Devil is referred to as "the interloper."

Yeah, I know what you guys have been up to over there at the laundromat too. I wouldn't want to touch that dirty laundry.

One word: Botox!
 
  • #1,932
No, because with Botox (or, alternatively, stroke victims) you know why they are not using facial expressions, so you can explain it to yourself and proceed. I mean when there is no apparent reason why he is not using facial expressions. Just a poker face.

Does it matter the reason? It's still weird trying to talk to someone who has no facial expressions. Afterall, we communicate quite a bit through facial expressions (and yes, I do know someone who hardly ever shows an facial expression or overt emotion; it took a long time to get used to having to read the most subtle cues to know how he's reacting to things people are saying).
 
  • #1,934
All right, I thought you were presenting botox users as people it was not so hard to talk to once you got used to it.

Another item is the phrase "relates to." If you can't "Relate to" someone that implies that you find them uncomfortable to be around. But the meaning of the phrase is just that you can't find similarities between the person and yourself.
 
  • #1,935
Also, "relates to" suggests familial relation.

Oh, no, just as an example of someone who has no facial expressions. That was the first thing to pop to mind when you said that. It's really hard to entirely suppress facial expressions without paralysis. You'll notice that high stakes poker players often wear sunglasses or hats or something else to shield their eyes. It's because no matter how good of a poker face someone thinks they have, there are almost always still very subtle cues they can't avoid. So, otherwise, I can only think of a sociopath as someone who would talk without showing any emotion, because they really aren't feeling any emotion. Even the guy I know who is incredibly subtle about facial expression has some (after people meet him the first time, most comment on it once out of his presence, it's that strikingly obvious that something is unusual about his lack of expression). But, the more you talk to him and get to know him, you start to notice little movements of his eyes and lips. It's kind of funny though, because his wife is the complete opposite. What he lacks in expression, she makes up for! She is the bubbliest, most expressive person I've met. It's quite cute to see them together. :smile:

Oh, my beloved little thread! Don't you ever go wandering out of eyesight again! See what happens when you don't listen to your mom?

Now let me dunk you in some bleach to clean off all that grime from that pirate ship.

Yup it must be a little Franzbear thread. :biggrin: I'm just the thread's weird uncle. Come to uncle Artman thread. I won't hurt you. o:)

We're just going to go on a hunting trip. You can bring your toy gun, and I'll bring a bunch of real ones. o:) It'll be fun. :smile:

And you can put on this tee shirt. :rolleyes:

The concentric circle pattern looks great on you. :smile:

Honey, how many times have I told you not to go places alone with your Uncle Artman? Now, let's get you changed out of that shirt and into something more appropriate. Here, try on these very flammable pajamas and I'll tuck you into bed.
 
  • #1,946
Good night little thread. o:)







pssst, Franzbear, pssst. Leave your window open.








We'll wait until your mom is asleep. Then we'll go. I'll bring another tee shirt for you, don't worry about that, but you can leave on the flammable PJs. It'll be fun. o:)
 
  • #1,947
Oh, I see your Uncle Artman has gotten you all tucked in already. Now, don't tell your father I told you this, but if you're going to go camping, you're going to have to learn to start a fire. Here are some matches and sticks to start with. If the fire gets too big, just toss this bucket of gasoline on it. o:)

WHAT ARE YOU TELLING MY THREAD??!

Listen buddy, don't ever throw gasoline on a fire. You throw barrels of ether onto a fire.

Ah, yes, ether. Take a very deep breath to calm yourself. See, it's working already. Another deep breath little thread, and it will all be over very quickly.

Liquid oxygen is probably more effective than gasoline.
