Maybe you should tell him, he might feel the same way?
Ooh! Intriguing... There's lots of speculation & secrecy. Let us know if you find out :)
Milgram - it is interesting stuff. What is scary about really early psychology 'research' is that some of it 'provided support' to some really nasty ideas and resulted in horrific outcomes for marginalised people. (I studied Psychology & Sociology). On the positive said there are many thing we now understand much better & as a … Read more
I read about this in a marketing blog & have taken part in a tweetup where we saw this as an example of gamification - really interesting stuff!
I really like the experiment that was conducted in Stockholm, Sweden to provide evidence for the Fun Theory.
The hypothesis was that people could be encouraged to make positive changes to their behaviour simply by introducing a "fun element" into the scenario.
For the experiment, they placed a 'keyboard staircase" into the exit of a subway station … Read more
Exactly! People were assigned as either guards or prisoners. Traumatic for both in the end. If you have time, click on the link & watch the video. Scary stuff!
I think the Stamford Prison Guard Experiment is equally intriguing and horrifying - would I or people I know act like this too?
That's the thing about love, you can't always choose who you love, it sometimes chooses you.
Why you don't want to be in love with them?
Both sound very scary! :-/
Growing up in Italy, a car I was sitting in got attacked by a gang of neo-nazi thugs armed with hammers and bats and stuff... That was pretty scary.
Luckily, the car started up (after choking for a bit) and we managed to speed away. The car got pretty badly smashed up though, and it belonged … Read more
Ha ha! Haunted by Westlife - or is the other way round?!
In the middle of the night...actually it was 3am in the morning, my phone randomly starting to play Westlife...and I couldn't turn it off. So I turned my phone off and the music continued! And I was horrified! So I threw it away, far as possible away from me and it continued, I tried everything, … Read more
I hope everyone is, because I can't wait to see the questions that win the competition :)
Apart from being a bit of fun, there are some other reasons to take part:
- Both challenges are intended to help grow the community by getting more and more people engaging.
- It's also a good excuse to brag about Blurtit to … Read more
National Novel Writing Month
I have friends who have taken part before - seems quite an experience!
I guess it depends how far you want to fast forward, but I'd like to think we're all heading towards a place where what we're currently seeing through a screen becomes far more tactile, real, and more integrated into our every day routine.
I think that images and video are going to play a huge part in the future of social media. A picture speaks a thousand words, and a video can be watched whilst you do some work, so I think the benefits over reading content mean that we will use images and video more.
Many people I … Read more
Thanks for your answer - a lot of what you said makes sense. I guess it's not very often you want to 'reanswer' so I will try editing/commenting. :-)
I guess the main reason is spam prevention.
People that spam the site usually target specific pages, with the goal of putting in as many links as possible, sometimes anonymously. Limiting the amount of answers they can post means we stop pages being overrun.
But maybe there is a better way to deal with this issue. I … Read more
