The article doesn't label them as punishers, it labels them as aversive stimulations. A punisher must be presented after a stimulus (which in this case stimulus=child porn, ugh, I can't believe I had to write that). Anyway, satiation is when you have so much of something you like that you don't want anymore of it, it…

Thanks!

That was an amazing sentence!

Hey, I'm not sure this is the right venue for this message, but as I don't have twitter (Luddite4life!) this will have to do. I assumed you taking a week off was for bereavement (and regardless if it was or not, sorry for your loss) but reading other comments that doesn't look like it's the case. I really enjoy what…

This is a good article. As a certified Behavior Analyst I have one minor technical correction. They are not negatively reinforcing the sexual stimulation associated with those negative images, they are positively punishing them (or that is what they are trying to do). The definition of a reinforcer is any stimulus…

Ahem

Yes, every day. But just for part of the day. From 9 to 5. There are huge chunks of time, at night, where I'm asleep. For hours. It's ridiculous.

So, you commented on the fact that you have nothing to comment about, which in turn gives you something to comment about, which is that you have nothing to comment about... It would be more accurate of you to say that the only thing you feel like commenting about is the fact that you have nothing to comment about.

I totally didn't read it as he was Japanese so of course who was racist. I read it as he was a dude who nickel and dimed servers and hired cute minors... Sometimes I wonder if people read through things looking to get enraged. I think we should have a corollary of Godwin's Law about calling people racists. What, you…

I understood that point. My point was that you can't reduce sex to just a did get an orgasm and didn't get an orgasm. The way that the author is looking at sex is very simplistic, competitive, and unhealthy. Why is it that we take blow jobs off the table and leave vaginal sex on the table if neither leads to orgasms…

Tracy,

1) Hooray for your name.

Baltimore believes that really bad propaganda on benches can work. Before "Greatest City in America" there was "The City that Reads" to combat illiteracy. Because nothing combats illiteracy than peer pressure written onto benches...

This is true. As a former student and educator in Maryland I can attest to this fact. And it's fourth grade.

Our slogan is actually, "Maryland: A thinking man's Delaware."

Not food related, but I spent a semester abroad in Ireland. Someone on a bus heard my American accent and asked where I was from. I told him Baltimore and explained that it was near Washington DC. Then he asked if I knew his friend Sarah from Iowa... Of course, she's the best!

Off topic, but I love your name. And your picture. You can go back to food talk now...

Disney is actually pretty awesome for people with special needs too... There is some good to them.

JLL, I don't think (s)he said that celiac disease isn't real. Oregon Beast lamented the anti-gluten trend. There is no data that gluten allergies are real. Celiac disease isn't an allergy. It is an auto-immune problem and is very real. I have friends with celiac and honestly I think it's the anti-gluten dieters and…

I really agree with 1 and 3... When Im up at 4 AM I don't want a lot of ingredients or have a large time commitment.
