If you have 12 hours of idle time, there’s a fantastic video on The Phantom Menace that really added to my appreciation for it. Bread Circus is amazing
According to www.notebookcheck.net , a framework 13 with a Ryzen 7840U will run out of battery 22% faster than the macbook but will outperform the macbook by 85% on some benchmarks. I wouldn’t pick the mac.
Aside from it being a sales tactic, it’s also just a strategy to memorize people’s names. I use it often because I’m trying to be friendly, and I have slight face blindness.
I teach new hires to my team on sales tactics. My background is in psychiatry/psychology.
It all boils down to being legit. Be you. Don’t be fake. Don’t lie.
Based on sales I typically outsell my peers 4:1. When I say a customer is a friend, that means we are friends.
After COVID people are looking for more authentic relationships. The dynamics have changed. They don’t want the fake sales person who just takes them to dinner. They want someone that has a real relationship with people, they enjoy spending time with and they trust.
The social isolation has caused people to seek true connections when they spend time with people.
EthosLab - the OG Minecraft Youtuber that other Minecraft Youtubers watch; somehow still innovating on redstone and technical builds to this day despite Minecraft redstone already pushed to its limits long ago, and his multiplayer shenanigans on Hermitcraft and Life Series is top notch.
Adam Ragusea - cooking videos made for actual home cooks who just want no-flair no-fuss recipes, as well as food science videos exploring and explaining different cooking methods and food chemistry. I’m particularly a fan of how he encourages you to measure and cook by feel rather than by strictly following recipes.
No need, I’ve been hearing that it’s good when they get all the money shoved at them BECAUSE, and hear me out now, they may or may not choose to maybe trickle some of the wealth they don’t obsessively hoard or burn on pleasure trips into space back onto the population.
They’re bound to start doing that aaaaaany decade now…
I’ve found that when I want to kill a crush I can start looking for characteristics I dislike. Everyone has them and early on in infatuation we gloss over them. But intentionally highlight them and that crush usually goes away pretty quick. Works for me anyway
Really? Man, I always thought it was to study their routines and plan the murder for when they are most alone and have the site and a grave prepared. Ideally away from prying eyes unless you like the thrill of getting caught or whatever…
But that aside, this is really solid advice. Nitpicking things you don’t like is a great option towards losing interest.
Lately I’ve been obsessed with Tasting History with Max Miller. He recreates historic dishes while exploring the history surrounding it. Very bingeable
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
I don’t think that’s the reason, just an association I had
It’s a sales technique, when someone calls your name often, your brain is fooled to consider the person closer than they really are, making you a little more likely to buy the product/idea they’re selling. Not effective on its own, but you can be 100% sure it’s not the only technique they’re using on you and all the small bits add up eventually.
I think you’re just listening to that group a lot? If you go to a sales event or an expo people will say your name and make eye contact. It’s really normal behavior that in a normal situation you don’t need to over analyze but it is being amplified in those situations
Yeah, I mean among friends and coworkers people will definitely call each other by name, and that does still feel weird but not nearly as much. The frequency they use names is just way less and the tone/attitude is different
Sounds like you’d think this was weird in any situation so why are you even asking the question? If you’re going to show respect to someone, you use their name. It’s also a sales tactic to show that you’re paying attention to them and took note of their name when they said it. It makes people more comfortable when you’re personable with them. At least the majority of people. I know everyone’s scared these days to even answer an unknown phone number.
The level of weird it feels to me is pretty different.
When friends do it, and it’s so infrequent, it’s like a very small feeling, and the majority of the weirdness feeling actually comes from me thinking about how I almost never call people by their name, and I’m probably the weird one, and maybe I should make an effort to do it more.
When I see it being done a lot in one conversation it’s a big feeling, and as other people have pointed out, I think a big chunk of the weirdness vibe I get is from the technique being used in a condescending way. And then each time it happens in the same conversation the weird feeling feeds into and amplifies itself, which is what ended up pushing me to ask
True, there should be a topic on this and at the very least, give sample alternatives for those less tech savvy. We should try to do better than Reddit, especially with communicating; something they were notoriously bad at.
