2024.05.14 17:38 Limejhit Here are 10 NON-OBVIOUS marketing psychology principles used by Apple, Ogilvy, Liquid Death, and others to make billions of dollars every year
Let's start by stating:
"People don't buy products. They buy emotions"
"95% of our purchasing decisions are emotional" -Harvard Business School
The real WHY of WHY PEOPLE BUY is often hidden deep in psychology in the unconscious parts of our brains.
Marketing tools are just the tools to influence the human psyche in one way or another, with psychology in its core.
I play with behavioral science (psychology in marketing) on a daily basis, so I thought I will share 10 cognitive biases (mental shortcuts) here, so you can implement them in your business today to make a few extra bucks:
The less “risky” you make doing business with you, the higher your conversions.
🧠 Make it less risky
"Effort is the universal currency of respect"
🧠 BUILD IN PUBLIC
Constantly showcasing your startup journey, its ups & downs, and the new features you added to your products or services creates the perception there's a lot of work put into your business.
Long waiting periods for service are unavoidable?
Show your process. Educate your client on the craft performed during that period.
Do you use any unusual material in your product? New, creative production process?
Educate with a few extra words
In fact, those who have undergone a major life event are 3 times more likely to switch brands
🧠How to use it?
Identify the life event most relevant to your category.
Then use ads. Facebook lets you target people when they move to a new house, end a relationship, start a new job, or start university.
Major life events shake up purchasing behavior.
Watching, listening, hearing, or reading a story activates the same regions of the brain as those engaged when actually performing these actions in real life.
🧠 Don't show your product. Tell a story
"The most powerful person is the storyteller." - Steve Jobs
Research - Rob Walker story:
The same goes for a brand.
But here's the catch...
Your brand needs to be well-perceived in the first place.
Admitting to your flaws, when your brand is perceived as not reliable, only makes things worse.
🧠Be vulnerable
• Embrace your imperfections
VW Beetle campaign in the 1950s and 60s
At that time American cars were supposed to be big, and stylish, not small and ugly. Yet the VW Beetle became a massive hit from its brilliant advertising campaigns.
The campaign addressed everything typical American consumers didn’t like about the beetle.
With headlines like:
Upsell whenever you can, but in a friendly, not pushy manner
🧠The easiest upsells
When people see that you're giving big discounts frivolously every month or week, they tend to ignore them after a while.
The perceived value of your product lowers with each discount
🧠Strategize your discounts
Short-term gains are cool, but have you ever implemented a long-term pricing strategy?
• Every person is different.
Create an email sequence that will split your contacts into specific groups.
Then customize the discounts for each group
🧠Viral refferal program
When creating a referral program the most important reward is the first one.
The first reward has to be both achievable and attractive to motivate people to participate.
Harry's referral program collected 100k emails within a week, using this prize scheme:
🧠 3-tiered pricing pricing explained
• 1 price = 2 choices: to buy or not
• 2 prices = 3 choices: buy the cheaper one, the more expensive one, or not buy
• By adding the third price, a much more expensive one, now the second price (the previous expensive one) looks like a bargain
When a company or brand makes a particular option the default or standard option, it is more likely that people will choose that option over other options that are presented.
When we are not sure what to do and lack expertise in the area we consider the default as a form of advice and we stick to that.
🧠Make the usual no-brainer offer the default option
A large national railroad in Europe increased its annual revenue by an estimated $40 million by changing its website to automatically include seat reservations unless customers explicitly opted out.
Prior to the change, only 9% of tickets sold included reservations, but after the change, 47% of tickets sold included reservations.

I play with behavioral science (psychology in marketing) on a daily basis, so I thought I will share 10 cognitive biases (mental shortcuts) here, so you can implement them in your business today to make a few extra bucks:
1. Risk Compensation Theory
People adjust their behavior based on perceived risk.The less “risky” you make doing business with you, the higher your conversions.
🧠 Make it less risky
- Offer guarantees
- Outline a clear refund/return policy
- Give a lot of social proof to reduce perceived risk
2. Labour Illusion
People value things more when they see the work behind them."Effort is the universal currency of respect"
🧠 BUILD IN PUBLIC
Constantly showcasing your startup journey, its ups & downs, and the new features you added to your products or services creates the perception there's a lot of work put into your business.
Long waiting periods for service are unavoidable?
Show your process. Educate your client on the craft performed during that period.
Do you use any unusual material in your product? New, creative production process?

3. Life Event Effect
People are more likely to change their habits during a major life eventIn fact, those who have undergone a major life event are 3 times more likely to switch brands
🧠How to use it?
Identify the life event most relevant to your category.
Then use ads. Facebook lets you target people when they move to a new house, end a relationship, start a new job, or start university.
Major life events shake up purchasing behavior.
4. Storytelling Effect
People prefer and better remember stories than facts aloneWatching, listening, hearing, or reading a story activates the same regions of the brain as those engaged when actually performing these actions in real life.
🧠 Don't show your product. Tell a story
"The most powerful person is the storyteller." - Steve Jobs
Research - Rob Walker story:
- In 2009, Rob Walker bought 200 objects from eBay for a total sum of $129.
- He then asked 200 authors to create a story for each object.
- Rob then sold those 200 objects with included stories on eBay again.
- He sold them for $8000.
- That's a 6202% increase in value.
5. Pratfall Effect
A simple blunder or mistake of a person can improve the attractiveness or likability of that personThe same goes for a brand.
But here's the catch...
Your brand needs to be well-perceived in the first place.
Admitting to your flaws, when your brand is perceived as not reliable, only makes things worse.
🧠Be vulnerable
• Embrace your imperfections

At that time American cars were supposed to be big, and stylish, not small and ugly. Yet the VW Beetle became a massive hit from its brilliant advertising campaigns.
The campaign addressed everything typical American consumers didn’t like about the beetle.
With headlines like:
- "Lemon",
- "One of the nice things about owning it is selling it",
- "And if you run out of gas, it’s easy to push",
- "Nobody’s perfect",
- or "Live below your means".
6. Foot-In-The-Door Technique
People are more likely to agree to a large request by agreeing to a small one firstUpsell whenever you can, but in a friendly, not pushy manner
🧠The easiest upsells
- Sell more of what you just offered them
- Sell something better than what you just offered them
- Sell something complimentary
7. Inaction Inertia Effect
When missing an offer once you are likely to miss an offer twiceWhen people see that you're giving big discounts frivolously every month or week, they tend to ignore them after a while.
The perceived value of your product lowers with each discount
🧠Strategize your discounts
Short-term gains are cool, but have you ever implemented a long-term pricing strategy?
• Every person is different.
Create an email sequence that will split your contacts into specific groups.
Then customize the discounts for each group
8. Stepping Stones
Any task you want your customers to do, needs to be broken down into smaller, attainable steps, otherwise, a person will get discouraged🧠Viral refferal program
When creating a referral program the most important reward is the first one.
The first reward has to be both achievable and attractive to motivate people to participate.
Harry's referral program collected 100k emails within a week, using this prize scheme:
- 5 users referred - Shave cream
- 10 users - Truman Handle Blade - Razor blade
- 25 users - Winston Shave set - Premium Handle
- 50 - One year free blades
9. Decoy Effect
People change their preference between two options when presented with a third option (the decoy) that is “asymmetrically dominated”🧠 3-tiered pricing pricing explained
• 1 price = 2 choices: to buy or not
• 2 prices = 3 choices: buy the cheaper one, the more expensive one, or not buy
• By adding the third price, a much more expensive one, now the second price (the previous expensive one) looks like a bargain
10. Default Effect
People tend to accept what we are given and stick with what we haveWhen a company or brand makes a particular option the default or standard option, it is more likely that people will choose that option over other options that are presented.
When we are not sure what to do and lack expertise in the area we consider the default as a form of advice and we stick to that.

2024.05.14 17:29 FritzHartnagell Sexual assault from 2011 wasn't handled properly
Missouri.
I dated a girl in 2010 and 2011. In 2010 she broke into my apartment by climbing thru my bedroom window and destroyed my room. My roommates were home and witnessed it. We called the police. Officer A and other officers arrived. Officer A didn't file a police report. No follow up contact from the police department happened. No charges were filed.
The same girl stalked me to the domestic violence shelter I worked at. Her sorority sister lived in an apartment across the street. She blew up the emergency hotline all day trying to speak to me while I was working. Repeated phone calls that prevented anyone else from calling in. The executive director told me I would have to file a police report, obtain an order of protection or resign. I called dispatch who sent Officer A to the shelter. He called her and asked her to stop. No charges were filed. No police report was done.
The next year I broke up with her again, in 2011. She followed me home from the bars. I went to sleep in my bed. I woke up and she was on top of me with me inside of her. When she realized I was awake she pinned me down and told me to change my Facebook status to "in a relationship." I threw her off of me into a wall. I called the police. They sent Officer A and maybe 5 other officers. They got her out of the apartment. No charges were filed. No police report was done.
I've since contacted the police department to find out why no reports were done. They told me Officer A no longer works for the department and if I want to file charges I need to contact an attorney. They wouldn't give me a reason why.
I called again and told then I was recording the phone call. This time they transferred me to a supervisor who told me I need to call dispatch and report the crimes. So I did. Dispatch told me they were aware of me and would need to contact the police department before assisting me. They ended up transferring me to an officer who took my report. They sent it to detectives. I called but the police department wouldn't let me speak to any detectives.
I called yesterday and explained to the front desk Officer what happened. She told me she doubts that I was instructed to call an attorney. I got her to transfer me to a detective. I left a voicemail.
The detective called me back this morning and apologized. He said they contacted the prosecutors office to see what they could do. Prosecutors office said it's out of the 3 year statute of limitations. He said they did a report for me if I want to pursue civil litigation. He said that Officer A no longer works for the department. He retired so there are no actions the police department can take against him. The detective apologized for it not being handled properly.
What civil actions can I take? My mental health is not great. Relationships are difficult for me to sustain most of the time if they are intimate. I've gone to counseling and the counselors believe this was a catalyst for my mental health decline. That's lead to relationships with women who weren't positive impacts on my life. That's resulted in another sexual assault. Holding down a professional job is difficult for me. I spend a lot of time not in the present. I've been told by a professional that this is CPTSD. My unstable career paths have resulted in medical insurance not being a guarantee so mental health treatment is kind of, "where I can get it when I can get it."
I used to be normal and confident. I want that back. I don't think I am going to get that back. I need to know what civil actions I can take and against who.
Thank you.

2024.05.14 17:24 givenpriornotice Should I sublet before finding a rental?
Hi all,
I’m in my mid 20s and I will be starting a new job in DC and will need to be there in-person by mid-June at the latest. I’ve never been to DC before and I am a bit nervous about the move as my family won’t be able to help me.
I’ve been looking at rental listings on Apartments.com, Zillow, and the Facebook housing groups and I’ve found leads for apartments and roommates that fit my budgets but nothing great yet.
However, I was wondering if it would make more sense for me to sublet in DC first on a month-to-month or a short-term lease basis first and wait until around August to see if I can find something better to lease or should I just bite the bullet and try and sign a lease now?

2024.05.14 17:22 ThrowingUpAir I'm lost
I made this burner account, I don't know how this site really works so hopefully I'm using it right
I'm a 20 year old male and I want to kill myself I'm lost, and don't see the point in trying to push on living anymore. I've come from an abusive household, thrown into another bad housing situation I currently live in a walk in closet, and unfortunately I'm too physically and mentally disabled to work functionally enough to do a 'normal job' I have been diagnosed with multiple things thought my life, schizoaffective, and DID run my entire life. I can't remember much of my childhood, and retaining memory for day to day living is taxing. My emotions are overwhelming, I feel every emotion but cranked up 10x. I have lots of issues with my legs, I'm unable to walk for long periods of time because of my disability. I want to kill myself because I don't think there's one person that can truly get down to my level. I want to kill myself because I would rather do that then feel like I'm a lab rat. I am an artist, but seeing the state of the animation industry and the state of ai has me terrified. Ever since I was a little kid I had a dream to share my stories and make comics but I just don't know if I have that strength anymore I want to kill myself because I am the definition of wasted potential. My mother and father are dead, and I have no connection with anyone in my family. I have lived without any connection from family for 3 years. I ran away from home at 17
My mom had an ulcer, she bled out. Puked up blood until she died I hadn't seen her for 3 years because I cut contact. She was abusive, physically, mentally, maybe even sexually. My dad died (maybe) of cardiac arrest. He was an alcoholic, and also physically and verbally abusive. The last time I contacted him was through Facebook Messenger, he told me he was in the hospital then suddenly stopped texting me entirely I was still a kid
I feel so incredibly lonely all the time, how long would it take for my roommates to find my body? I sit in my room and starve in hopes maybe I'll lose enough weight to be pretty I sit in my room high, just like my stoner mother I want to kill myself because I have no hope that things will get better, and that I'll eventually end up in the same hole my mom did My roommates will sit and watch me rot away, just as I watched my mom rot away I have no friends, in a sense of I don't have anyone that has truly connected to me. Sure I have people I talk to but do those people willingly come out and talk to me or try to learn about me? No. Do these people have a deep connection with me? No, and they aren't willing to. They purposely isolate me I can't reach out to my therapist, if I tell him how I really feel I'll be thrown in a hospital somewhere Tried to call a hotline and they hung up on me, ironic, so I've learned to just stay quiet about things and sit in the bathroom cutting my wrists instead. I'm always the glue in friendships, they will dwindle away eventually, no matter how much I try to bend and mold myself to fit their needs They make fun of me for it, saying I can't go 15 minutes without being perceived Maybe I'm selfish
I want to feel pretty, and loved, I so badly want to have purpose. But I cannot bear the agony that is loneliness, and I want to die. I want to be someone's son, a boyfriend, a husband or maybe even father, but I'm worried that's just wishful thinking.

2024.05.14 17:18 TheBestLotad Am I just anxious, or was I a fool to begin with?
Hi Reddit, I'm new, and my best friend uses Reddit so I hope they don't come to this sub. I only know about it because I listen to RSlash.
I (NB 25) love my best friend (NB 29) in a "more than friends" way.
I'll be honest, I'm terrible when it comes to relationships. I get clingy, lose myself in the relationship, always feel the need to "prove" my love; essentially I am an easy target for bad people. Because of this I haven't been in a relationship for 6 years, it helps that I'm asexual (sex repulsed), but I still have the desire for romantic love.
Me and my friend met online about 2 years ago and we instantly clicked. At the time I was still weary about getting into a relationship, as I wasn't confident that I wouldn't slip into those unhealthy habits. Funny enough, that was also around the time my therapist cancelled my therapy appointment without telling me and ghosted me. I'm guessing I didn't appear mentally ill enough? I don't know. And no she was fine, she just went on a vacation.
Anyways, me and my friend talked a lot, and clearly our talks were more than platonic. But hey maybe I'm wrong and it's normal for people to call their best friends by pet names, say I love you over and over again, and send love letters in the mail about how much you love them and want them in your life. They used to be so loving, and I felt so secure in what we were.
Then Christmas happened, and it hasn't been the same since. They got asked out on a date by a work colleague and accepted it, which shattered my heart. I told them that if they pursued the relationship, that I wouldn't feel comfortable being as loving as we were and that we would have to talk as regular friends do. I asked them what we were and if they loved me the way I love them. It hurt when they said that they weren't sure.
They cancelled the date with the other person, but I don't think I've recovered from that day. Even though from it we decided that we would plan on living together once we were at stable places in our careers (we were both having issues with our jobs).
One time I got super drunk with their friend, and the friend said my best friend loved me and wanted to kiss me but just would never admit it, which felt good to hear. I've heard from their friends that they know they love me and that I've been a force of good in their life, one asked me to please stay because I make them happy. Essentially all their friends have been saying that my friend loves me but just doesn't know it.
Meanwhile my friends, who aren't online all that much so haven't seen how me and my friend interact, have been wanting to set me up. One was trying to set up a double date between her bf, and then me and her friend. When I told my friend about it, they were obviously hurt and got quiet for the night, being sheepish to tell me that I should do what I want to do.
I didn't want to, I still wanted to be with my friend, even though we weren't "together" together. That was a few months, and the last time it's happened.
So why am I here? Shouldn't it be obvious that we have feelings for each other?
These past few months they've slowly been showing their affection less and it's been bothering me.
They get off work and I ask them how their day went, and they'll say they're tired and going to bed, then do exactly that. They won't ask about my day, and that will be our only interaction for the day. At one point this was happening every single day.
They no longer say all those kind words that made me fall for them in the beginning, about how I make their life worth living. They've stopped calling me all those pet names that made me feel special, they rarely even say "I love you" first.
I spoke with them, about how I miss these pet names, that I miss being told that I matter to them. I tell them that these are my love language and that I don't feel loved, and all they say is that they're sorry and they don't know how to make me feel loved. I JUST TOLD YOU HOW!
They used to plan on coming to visit me once they get the money, but when they do get the money they visit family instead. I understand that family comes first, but it still hurts to know that they basically lied to me.
I'm reaching my breaking point, I'm tired of playing this game of "will we, won't we". But at the same time I'm afraid that I might be over reacting, and I don't want to leave them alone if they do really want something. Plus it's really hard finding a partner when you're sex repulsed.
So should I just move on? I haven't told them that I'm ready to break off what little we have, but other than that I have been VERY up front with my emotions as I have them.
TL;DR: I'm anxious and tired after playing around with someone with commitment issues after 2 years.

2024.05.14 17:07 Sherlock9211 I like a girl, need some tips!
Hey guys!
I like a girl since we were in class 6th!
Lambi story hai dosto, don't judge me!
She left school in 7th grade, just as I realized I liked her. Despite struggling academically, I unexpectedly came 2nd in 8th grade. I tried reaching out on Facebook and WhatsApp, but conversations were sparse. In 9th and 10th, I switched schools to an all-boys institution, where I found her on Facebook through mutual friends. Despite her limited activity, I maintained contact through Facebook and WhatsApp groups. Through Polytech and Btech, our communication sporadically continued. In my 4th year of Btech, we reconnected and began sharing topics, including collaborating on articles for my website. Despite our busy schedules, we stayed in touch, and she even used me as a professional reference during a job switch.
I kept talking to her, sometimes flirting, while also pursuing my passion for guitar and posting songs on Instagram. She would often ask for song recommendations and even requested songs dedicated to her. Additionally, she asked me to edit her videos, showing a growing level of trust and connection. She eventually moved to Pune for a job, and we remained in contact as she searched for accommodation, even engaging in video calls. When her company allowed remote work, she returned to town, sparking strong feelings in me.
Feeling like everything she said was a green light, I decided to confess my feelings. One day, while chatting on WhatsApp, she asked for a caption for her display picture, and in my nervousness, I opted for a light-hearted response instead of revealing my true feelings.
After that I asked her that I have a crust on someone! and want to tell her, will she like me!She asked me do you talk to her? I said yes. She said - daily baat hoti hai? I said - casually! jese tere se baat hoti hai! kabhi lagta hai hint hai kabhi nahi lagta! She said - 2-3 din cut off krke dekh and see her reaction I said - mai agar msg na kru to hafto tak uska msg na aae. She said - fir nahi hai kuch, agar wo like krti hai to she will message you chahe busy hi kyu na ho! and if you like her, tell her about your feelings.
And I saw that she deleted her photo for which she asked caption! I asked her why she said mind changed and not posting now!
Next day we are talking about games and she said to play truth and dare first ques she asked is who is your crust tell her name? I said - 'her name' she thought thatw as a joke and we move on!
Now after that I asked what are my chances if I ask my crush? She said - I don't know, and I don't who is your crush I said - you are She said - tu majak krra hai I said - mai majak kru karunga She said - no chances then😂.
That was the message and I broke down! It was midnight and it is light raining!
After that I tried to maintain the talk but it was not like before! Basically I have't said her clearly so that was a mistake of mine!
Now is been 2 years, we just casually talks in months! and last I messaged her is a year ago.
Now since I never go into any relation after that! The feeling are not that strong but I still kind of like her. sometime it feels I should tell her again and ask her out! and sometime I fear if she I really want her!
So what should I do? I am still confused and I might know what to do, but still have doubts!

2024.05.14 17:06 Pale_Replacement4655 Baby Reindeer Irl (my own personal hell)
I've been struggling with this one for awhile. I know it's as easy as "don't pain shop" or "who cares what AP does, WH came back to reconcile, right?"
It's been 4 months since D-Day. Their affair started at work and lasted 5 months. We've been together for 7 years. He was home every night, so I never thought twice. I thought he was hanging out with friends. Like most of us BP's, I didn't think he had it in him to hurt me the way he did. I found out the day before we were to visit our wedding venue. We have since gotten married (I know, it was insane and sporatic. Prenup is signed. I don't regret it, but I do feel like I did it in my state of panic. Anyway, I have to mention this in order to explain how AP is affecting me moving forward.)
Anyway, things have been great over here. He no longer works with her. He's genuinely remorseful and has been supportive on my bad days, when I'm triggered, etc. MC has been going great as well. WH is in individual therapy. I will be going to IT soon as well, we're just pretty tight on funds right now with him having to quit. There's no contact with AP, I have access to everything and I stay on top of checking - not so much because of him, but because of AP. She is completely delusional.
When he came home for good, she sent anonymous packages in the mail along with her family. I found around 20 notes hidden throughout his things (he moved out for less than a week.) She emailed him on multiple email accounts, including an anonymous domain website. She created multiple reddit accounts to message him with photo proof if was her. She Cashapped him to attempt contact. They both play a popular RPGMMO game, where she has logged into, taken screenshots, and posted them to her Twitter. There are associated apps for the game, including Discord and Steam, that she has tried to reach out to him on. She created a Facebook page with her last name being WH's stating she was pregnant (she's not) to harrass us.
This was a few months ago, I have everything saved incase she attempts any type of contact again. She knows it's straight to the police. But, she's gotten her way around the no-contact by following us and posting content online such as:
I guess I'm not really asking for advice, because I know what the answer is. I just needed to get this out and see if there is any other individuals out there who have had similar experiences. I just want her to stop before I actually explode.

- Following us to a concert in another state knowing WH would be there
- Wearing his clothes (he unfortunately forgot a few things when moving back, as he was trying to make it quick. Fair to mention WH has been attached to my hip as he has been unemployed until very recently)
- Posting photos with other items of his in the background, inconspicuously (This is kind of funny, because things like that go over his head)
I guess I'm not really asking for advice, because I know what the answer is. I just needed to get this out and see if there is any other individuals out there who have had similar experiences. I just want her to stop before I actually explode.
2024.05.14 16:59 WYLD_STALYNZ Trans friend (mtf) confronted me about having someone "unsafe" on my FB friends list
A few days ago I got a DM from a friend of mine (V) expressing concern over someone (B) I had on my FB friends list. The guy is a creep, that's not really up for debate -- he harassed/stalked several trans women at a recent event, peppering them with uncomfortable questions, all with some really profound Lead-Poisoned Boomer energy. I looked at B's profile and saw that I had him unfollowed, something I probably did almost immediately after friending him, because his feed is a stream of turbocringe Boomer memes. By the time B did that creepy shit to my friend, I already had him out of sight and out of mind on socials.
I was accused by V, simply for having this person on my Facebook friends list, of "holding up a broken stair", and that is not sitting well with me at all. Some further context is that we all participate in a shared community in which I am a leader, and apparently by not unfriending B, I am lending him social capital which legitimizes his behavior. In my official capacity as a leader though, B is not welcome in any spaces where I have a say in who is welcome, which is something I don't really even have to deal with, because B is also not welcome at any of the events where my leadership role comes into play (something determined by those events’ organizers, not me). If the question of whether to include B in a trusted space had ever actually fallen to me, the answer would have been a very firm no.
I pushed back a little bit at V's demand that I unfriend B. It felt pretty coercive due to the accusations of being a bad ally which could apparently only be dealt with in that moment by doing exactly what she said. Following our conversation, she also made a post to her main feed congratulating herself for DMing and shaming her friends like this, which had this line in it: "You go tell your problematic friends to start therapy then you go make a better, new friend."
I...don't talk to B. I don't have a relationship with B. B is one of hundreds of people who I met a handful of times, accepted a FB add from, unfollowed because he was annoying, and mostly forgot about. I don't have the kind of relationship with B where I would tell him to get therapy. I do not need to replace B's friendship because I never had it. FB friends =/= friends.
I also object to the demand for certain strategic reasons; nothing that applies to B directly, but which have definitely come up before. Multiple times in the past, I have remained connected on social media to people who have caused harm to people I care about, for the sake of keeping tabs on them. For example, a friend of a friend was being aggressively stalked for a long time a few years back. Most people in the victim's direct circle blocked his stalker for the sake of maintaining a good perimeter around him. But stalker was and still is barely aware I exist. And stalker had (she seems to have moved on now, fucking finally) a habit of posting a bunch of shit on social media about her victim when she was getting ready to harass him again. Needless to say, he REALLY appreciated the early detection system, and his lawyer REALLY appreciated that someone had the ability to collect screenshots of her activity.
I guess my question here is this: do people really view social media connections as an implicit sign of trust?
I assume the average person's FB friends list is much, much closer to being "a repository of every person I have ever met" than it is to defining a trusted circle of people. V told me I only get to see it that way because of my privilege as a cis man. I really just don't agree with that take, which I think should be fine, but I was made to feel that disagreeing makes me a bad ally.
Appreciate any insight. I'm really not sure how to feel, because I do genuinely understand why V is so upset by B's behavior, but I still feel coerced into unfriending B, and overall I don't think my take on the weight of FB friends vs. real friends is off-base at all.
edit: to be clear, I unfriended B, because we had no relationship, it made no difference to me, and it made someone I care about feel safer. I still really take issue with the way it was demanded
submitted by WYLD_STALYNZ to asktransgender [link] [comments]
I was accused by V, simply for having this person on my Facebook friends list, of "holding up a broken stair", and that is not sitting well with me at all. Some further context is that we all participate in a shared community in which I am a leader, and apparently by not unfriending B, I am lending him social capital which legitimizes his behavior. In my official capacity as a leader though, B is not welcome in any spaces where I have a say in who is welcome, which is something I don't really even have to deal with, because B is also not welcome at any of the events where my leadership role comes into play (something determined by those events’ organizers, not me). If the question of whether to include B in a trusted space had ever actually fallen to me, the answer would have been a very firm no.
I pushed back a little bit at V's demand that I unfriend B. It felt pretty coercive due to the accusations of being a bad ally which could apparently only be dealt with in that moment by doing exactly what she said. Following our conversation, she also made a post to her main feed congratulating herself for DMing and shaming her friends like this, which had this line in it: "You go tell your problematic friends to start therapy then you go make a better, new friend."
I...don't talk to B. I don't have a relationship with B. B is one of hundreds of people who I met a handful of times, accepted a FB add from, unfollowed because he was annoying, and mostly forgot about. I don't have the kind of relationship with B where I would tell him to get therapy. I do not need to replace B's friendship because I never had it. FB friends =/= friends.
I also object to the demand for certain strategic reasons; nothing that applies to B directly, but which have definitely come up before. Multiple times in the past, I have remained connected on social media to people who have caused harm to people I care about, for the sake of keeping tabs on them. For example, a friend of a friend was being aggressively stalked for a long time a few years back. Most people in the victim's direct circle blocked his stalker for the sake of maintaining a good perimeter around him. But stalker was and still is barely aware I exist. And stalker had (she seems to have moved on now, fucking finally) a habit of posting a bunch of shit on social media about her victim when she was getting ready to harass him again. Needless to say, he REALLY appreciated the early detection system, and his lawyer REALLY appreciated that someone had the ability to collect screenshots of her activity.
I guess my question here is this: do people really view social media connections as an implicit sign of trust?
I assume the average person's FB friends list is much, much closer to being "a repository of every person I have ever met" than it is to defining a trusted circle of people. V told me I only get to see it that way because of my privilege as a cis man. I really just don't agree with that take, which I think should be fine, but I was made to feel that disagreeing makes me a bad ally.
- Are people really informing their social choices like this? Do people go on B's profile, see me in his mutuals, and say "oh, u/WYLD_STALYNZ is friends with him on FB, he must be someone I can let my guard down around"?
- Is this situation different from other situations involving stalking/harassing behavior because the victims are trans? Do I owe my trans friends a response that is more in line with their specific desires due to their marginalized status?
- Where does rehabilitation come into play in V's philosophy? She said herself in the comments of her post that she believes, after speaking with B multiple times, that he has the capacity to improve if he put in the effort; he's not hateful, he's oblivious to the point of it being a serious liability. If she believes this person is actually capable of redemption, but then demands that everyone in our shared community cut him out and shun him, what is B's path forward?
Appreciate any insight. I'm really not sure how to feel, because I do genuinely understand why V is so upset by B's behavior, but I still feel coerced into unfriending B, and overall I don't think my take on the weight of FB friends vs. real friends is off-base at all.

2024.05.14 16:57 fabbrunette Why doesn’t Jillian Harris follow Canadian Ad Standards and provide appropriate disclosures on her sponsored posts?
 | It dumbfounds me that this boss babe cannot follow basic rules when it comes to advertisements and sponsored posts, especially when she has a whole fan-girl team that should be reviewing and helping her with the posting process. submitted by fabbrunette to JillianHarrisSnark [link] [comments] Firstly, this promo package she received is NOT a PRESENT, it is PAYMENT:
Why does this matter? Influencers with much less followers are bound by these guidelines - brands and agencies partner with “smaller” influencers and as part of their contract explain EXACTLY what needs to be written and disclosed - because it is not only on the influencer but also on the BRAND to ensure these standards are being followed. So why can’t Jillian Harris, self-proclaimed story-teller and full-time influencer, do her job right? Does she truly believe she’s ABOVE basic standards, which are put in place to protect consumers from big brands and influencers? Hey Jill! I know you read here - here is the Canadian ad standards done in a really easy-to-read manner for you and your team to study: https://adstandards.ca/wp-content/uploads/AdStandards-Influencer-Guidelines-EN-2023-FIN.pdf I mean, you’ve only been doing this for, what, 12 or 14 years? About time someone showed you how it’s supposed to be done. Also, way to hide the camel toe and cheeky bum with the brand names - but no disclosures! |
2024.05.14 16:54 POS272 Thinking about an MBA further down the line, how do I build my profile?
I'm (21F) currently in my junior year of bachelors in comp sci (4 year program, but non-IIT) in India. I have a slight inclination towards pursuing an MBA, and would like to get some tips on how to build my profile for the same.
During my second year of uni, I started dabbling into finance and financial analytics and eventually realized I enjoyed it way more than my actual degree. I looked into some potential ways to break into the field, and realized an MBA might help. To me, an MBA seems like a degree that helps you break into tons of other fields if you're looking for a career change or pivot, but I'm not sure what exactly to do.
My gpa right now is 3.3/4 , but it will eventually increase because I have two more semesters left. I do know I need solid work experience and a good gmat score, but I'm not sure what else I need.
I've been looking to gain some internship experience, and trust me, I've applied EVERYWHERE, but all I've gotten so far is automated rejection mails . Hopefully I do land a job after final year ( I don't mind working in cs for some time, its not something I fully enjoy, but I can handle it), but how do I climb up the ladder and potentially gain some sort of leadership experience? How do I make the switch to something that deals with both tech and finance? And lastly, how do I build a solid profile for b-schools abroad(hopefully the US)?

2024.05.14 16:54 Then-Patience1456 Am I wrong for giving an ultimatum?
One year ago my husband(34m) and I(27f) were at marriage counseling and it came out that my husband was finding random girls on Facebook and instagram and sending them compliments and leaving comments on their posts regarding their looks. And had been doing this over our entire relationship, even while I was depressed and contemplating suicide he was messaging other girls (with no answers)
With the suggestion of the marriage counselor and my own personal counselor it was recommended that social media be deactivated while we try to better the marriage, his counselor also co-signed on this. After a while and a lot of arguing he did it.
A couple of months later, while at a store together my husband stopped a girl to compliment and ask her about her jacket, she looked uncomfortable but answered and walked away. I was annoyed but went about my day. A few days later he does something similar while complimenting a girls glasses.
I took that to my therapist and she encouraged me to talk to him about why I didn’t like it, specifically because he does not talk to me or compliment me in that manner and it was bringing back social media vibes.
A month later my sisters baby father accused my husband and sister of sleeping together, called me and told me they were actively fucking as we were on the phone. This was false as my husband was in bed sleeping with me in that moment, baby daddy later apologized for the accusation.
April. He asks for Facebook back, says it’s for networking for his business and to connect with people to find a better job. I told him I wasn’t comfortable. Over the course of the same conversation multiple times I eventually got fed up and told him he’s clearly going to do what he wants despite my discomfort so do whatever. A week later his now active account pops up and we argue because he didn’t inform me that he had reactivated it.
Mind you in all of this, no actual progress has been made in rebuilding trust, I say all of this^ because I’m explaining that every time I tried to bring my guard down something else happened.
Now flash forward to three days ago. I wake up and open instagram. First thing that pops is people you may know with a user name similar to my husbands. I open it. It’s got 8 followers and is only following one person a female with a private account. But the private account is following my husbands main account which is alive and well.
Idk if you know but instagrams deletes deactivated accounts after 30 days… it’s been like eight months since he got off of social media. But here is the account alive and well. I confronted him with this. He claims that he told me he was reactivating it because there’s a Japanese distributor that prefers contact via instagram and he swears he told me about this.
I told him I want him off social media because I feel disrespected. He says no. He says go ahead and file then when I say I’m done. He proceeds to bring divorce up again after this conversation after I kicked him out of the room to go sleep in the guest room.
Since divorce was brought up I told him he has a choice to make deactivated social media and we can find a new therapist to aggressively work on our marriage or he can file for divorce.
He refuses to deactivate.
Am I wrong to then go ahead and file?

2024.05.14 16:50 Used-Preparation-695 Disclosing PDA with work/school?
TLDR: bla bla bla life story, my question is: How have you gone about disclosing PDA with your school or work place? I'd love to hear positive or negative experiences and whatever advice you might have.
Hey! I'm in the midst of a thorough psychiatric examination after years and years of quick diagnoses and symptom treatment. My psychiatrist just told me that I have a PDA profile (I'm not diagnosed with autism but am being examined for it). I never heard of this before but by googling I found that this is EXACTLY what my core problem is in my day to day life. First I for some reason feel inclined to share some of my life story lol for context or for the sake of my own clarity.
I'm in college/university and have two freelance jobs. With the freelance positions I finally found something that works pretty well for me job wise, I've stayed in these positions two and three years respectively. Before this I've never held on to a job for more than a few months MAX, and the one job that I had for several months was during covid when I worked from home 90% of the time. My ex girlfriend was always baffled that "every day you question whether you should leave for work/school, it's never a given" and honestly I'm baffled too, or moreso that people just get up and mindlessly leave their house, although this sounds like an absolute dream. To get to the point, in school I've always had high percentages of absence, in high school I was at about 35% when only 5% was officially allowed. I was always able to get away with it cause I'm a "high achiever" and got straight A's. But the neverending excuses made and makes me feel frankly like a lazy, dishonest piece of shit person, I don't trust myself and am paranoid that my peers talk behind my back. I never know when I'll wake up and be in what I've always just called "the pit". However on some level in high school I was able to shake it off, it's not like high school was my passion so as long as I wasn't thrown out I thought it was okay that sometimes I didn't show up. Now, the strange part is that my subject in college truly is my passion. I can not think of anything else I would like or want to do more. So I've been so frustated that I still find myself paralyzed on a random morning, or just ghosting school for weeks at a time. Anyway, while PDA isn't exactly an "explanation", it's nice to be able to collect the pieces and see a clear pattern. I though that maybe this could put an end to the excuses and lies if I disclose the profile with my school. Finally, my question is: How have you gone about this? Has anyone got positive or negative experiences to share?

2024.05.14 16:41 MaidOfClarity Poor guy gets dumped at the property without guarantee of a room...two nights in a row.
Squick warning: descriptions of particularly unpleasasnt smells and sights.
I've seen tales of hotel FD employees having to deal with cops who drop people off at the property, saying, "hey, this person needs a room," but before the hotel can collect payment and deposit, the cops just drive off, leaving the guest stranded and the front desk staff agitated with a new loiterer who decides to cause problems for said staff.
Today, we shall talk about one of these stories, at my old workplace, a motel of about three dozen rooms. The lobby / FD itself is in a suite about the size of a kitchen, like many other motels.
It's a Saturday night shift (22:00-6:00) like any other, and I'm just checking in the last of the arrivals. Someone had called to rent a room - I took name, phone number, and credit card details to hold the room for them.
I see that the cops have arrived and are escorting a man to the front desk to get him a room. Unfortunately, I'm also checking in a guest who already had a reservation, and before I can ask anything to the cop like whether he has a reservation or the funds to rent a room, she's already left as I finish handing the keys to the guest who actually has a booking. Wow, good job officer, so what was your contigency plan if he couldn't afford the room?
So the guy walks in, we'll just alias him as Kevin Kleinbottle. Kevin is a repeat guest to our property who seems to be in his 60s or 70s, having rented a few times here in the past...but hoo boy he has seen far better days. He's wearing some pretty tattered pajamas and smells like he hasn't showered or used the toilet in days. The poor guy also sounds like he's down on his luck, and I also noticed, since he got escorted here by the cops, what happened to the vehicle he would drive to come here?
Well at any rate, I break the news to him, that unfortunately we are sold out. This isn't me pretending to be sold out so I could avoid having to have a hard talk with him, we were genuinely sold out. And given his state, at least if I rented him a room he would be able to shower and get himself clean again.
He's, unsurprisingly, distraught about this. I tell him he could try the other motel around the corner, and he walks off.
Then the next day, he returns, once again aided by a cop who doesn't seem interested in seeing the business transaction through before leaving the property. At least this time the repungent odor is mostly gone and he's better-dressed, in a shirt, light jacket, and sweatpants, but still looks pretty unwell. And this time we had a room available to sell. Unfortunately, his card declines for the room payment and deposit.
He tells me to call the cops again so that they can try to get him somewhere else. The front desk phone is too far to reach to him, so I use my cellphone on speaker instead - of course, making sure it remains in my grip. The cops tell him that they can't assist him again because they are working on some high-profile case so every officer has their hands full.
In the meantime, he has me get a chair since he's getting tired and fears he might stumble over - I grab one of the plastic chairs from the back office.
I'm eager to get him off the property so that I can go back to my work and avoid drawing complaints from paying guests that happen upon his presence in the lobby, and he seems just as eager considering he can't afford a room and can't get anywhere by himself tonight. He decides to just have me call an ambulance instead, citing health problems. I do see that he has a wristband that states "FALL RISK", so I wouldn't be surprised if he was acquainted with the local hospital.
Which he was, upon the arrival of the ambulance and paramedics. They help him to his feet and escort him off.
And that was the last I saw of him - I hope he's doing better these days.

2024.05.14 16:36 Autistic_Retard420 Hallucinating about Smite
Thought this would be a funny story to post here. Not sure if drug-related posts are frowned upon. Maybe some of you have similar experiences.
6 or 7 years ago me and my boys were hardcore smite players. We were young and didn't have fulltime jobs. Just school and the occasional job on the side. We used to play smite from when we got home from school til 4am or sometimes even 6am. We also experimented with drugs a bit back then.
Me and a friend were off XTC at my place one time and we just were sitting on the couch chatting to eachother. We then both noticed that we hadn't spoken for quite some time. I told him I was in the middle of a team fight in smite, just playing the game in my head and actually seeing the game happen in front of me. I remember even going to base after the fight, buying items and returning to my lane. When I told him this, he said he was experiencing the exact same thing. We were both playing full smite games in our heads and visualizing them. After a while we both had played about a 15-minute game, just visualizing it thanks to the drugs. It was awesome.
Must have been because all we did was play smite back then. Have any of you experienced anything similar?

2024.05.14 16:34 i-fart-butterflies Abusive ex may be stalking and monitoring me. What to do?
From 2019 to 2021 I (28, trans man) dated a woman (26F now). She was extremely physically abusive and tried to isolate me from my friends and family as well as ruin my connections with them which worked. In 2021 she ran off with some other guy she met online but honestly at that point I was more relieved than heartbroken. Living with her was hell. A few months later she begged me to take her back because things didn’t work out but I refused.
I thought I could just go back to my old life until I found out that when she said she’d “follow me to the ends of the earth and make sure I never found peace if I left her” she intended to make good on that.
She’s been stalking me. On one of my socials I noticed a weird account kept viewing my page and decided to see if it was anyone I knew. Turned out it was her. I later noticed similar accounts monitoring me on other social media (Facebook, Tumblr, etc). Keep in mind that after I refused to take her back I deleted all my socials and changed my phone number, email address and moved and resurfaced under a different screen name about a year later.
I need to circle back and give you some e background information on why I am so scared of her. She views herself as a vigilante. I found out while I was with her that I was not the first person she’s done this to.
Often times she feels like she hasn’t done enough and keeps tabs on people online. She had an ex boyfriend she did that too who I found out about long after she moved in with me. The guy relocated shortly after they broke up but she managed to dig up not only his new address but a bunch of other stuff like who he was living with and places he went to regularly. She had plans to come back and get revenge on him for dumping her and those two were only together for a few mont. We were together for a couple years and living together so I think she has something extra nasty in store for me, particularly since I started seeing someone else a couple years later.
People have dismissed my concerns because she’s “just a girl” and some even think I did something to deserve it. She tried to snap my cats neck, broke my nose by hitting me in the face with her big ass clunky phone, and attempted to stab me in the eye for talking to my aunt. She also told me that if I ever found anyone else after her she’d kill them. After some of the things she did to me I don’t think that was an empty threat.
Here’s the plan I’m trying make. I don’t think what she’s doing is limited to cyber stocking. I’ve been getting some really funny phone calls the last couple of days, even though I changed my phone number a couple of years ago. Not just on my cell phone either. I spent a couple days in a motel and received a funny call on the landline they had in their motel room. When I picked up, all I heard, was breathing on the other end for quite some time before they hung up. This is similar to the stuff she did in 2021 after I told her I wasn’t taking her back hence why I changed my number in the first place.
It even happened at work. I work the night shift and if you get any calls, it’s my job to answer them because I work the front. Normally, we never ever get calls after 10 PM and got one around one in the morning. It could’ve been someone who called us by accident but when I picked up the phone I heard a heavily distorted voice on the other end. I couldn’t really understand what they were saying, but it sounded like they said my name just before hanging up.
There’s another thing that really freaks me out. I got a few calls on my cell from a number with the same area code as hers. I looked the number up and not only did I find her name associated with it, but it also listed her newest address, as being in a city about an hour away from me. I find this particularly alarming, because her permanent address has been in the same state, her whole life and I moved to a different state because I knew she lived in that area. Now it says she lives in my state only 39 miles north of me.
I realize how crazy and paranoid I sound but I think I’ve got a reason to.
My problem is I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to move because I finally have a somewhat stable job. I’m on track to transfer to the university here and finish off my bachelors degree. This city also has some really good doctors and it is so hard to find a good doctor these days. I’ve only been here a little over a year. I don’t want have to move again.
The only person who knows about this is my mom who suggested I break my lease and move back in with her but I don’t want to do that. I made so much progress and I don’t want to ruin it and go back to living with somebody who treats me like I’m 12 years old, doesn’t accept me and is almost as controlling as my ex was.
I also don’t want to put anyone else in danger though. She went after my friends before, who’s to say she won’t do it again? Should I cut all of them off and break up with the person in seeing how to protect them?

2024.05.14 16:32 heliodrome Work Shoes
I work in an environment where we have to wear closed toe and closed heel shoes, have to look presentable, and they should be a dark color and often we get into doing construction projects and a lot of physical moving of heavy loads. I wear Brooks Hyperion shoes in black, but they do get sweaty and smelly even within socks and regular washes. I’m going to try out callans as they seem very low profile and presentable, but I expect the suede to look beat up fast. I was looking at Londons in black leather, but I’m worried in 40 or 41 they will look clowny. I’ve tried super Birkis at the store and they looked and felt great, but I’m not sure if the heel is covered enough. Some women at work wear danskos and sanitas with covered heel, but I move more than them and do more kneeling projects so I need the sole to bend. Any suggestions for a birks to wear at basically a construction job where you also sell, and have to look decent?

2024.05.14 16:29 timmah1529 Marketing Job Offer - Title + Salary Up To Me? Need Advice!
Good morning everyone,
I was recently laid off and I have been openly looking for work on LinkedIn. I had a connect reach out regarding a job at her husbands work. He then reached out to me and there is a lot of interest on both ends. However, there is no Job Title/Salary listed - they are asking me what I would want it to be. I have 7 years of experience in digital marketing, primarily focused on Marketing Automation but also have done PPC, social media, graphic design, etc. Here are the details:
With all of this information, what would my title even be, and what would be a fair salary for someone in the Chicago suburbs? The amount of responsibilities makes it feel like an Associate Director position, but traditionally Associate Director's aren't doing all the heavy lifting.
Happy to answer any additional questions - I want to make sure I am taken care of and not lowballing myself. Thank you
