Anyone know some good ways to get revenge on, oh let's say, an old *******, peice of **** boss for example? Thoughts of revenge sweet THE ASSOCIATED PRESS http://www.newsday.com/news/health/ny-hsrev273943859aug27,0,3965410.story?coll=ny-health-headlines August 27, 2004 WASHINGTON - Dirty Harry had it right: Brain scans show revenge really might make your day. Planning revenge sparks enough satisfaction to motivate getting even - and the amount of satisfaction actually predicts who will go to greater lengths to do so, report Swiss researchers who monitored people's brain activity during an elaborate game of double-cross. In research reported in today's edition of the journal Science, University of Zurich scientists used PET scans to monitor the brain activity of game players. Two players could trust and cooperate with each other so both earned money. Or one could double-cross the other and keep an unfair share. Sometimes the double-cross was deliberate; other times, rules of the game dictated it. The victim could retaliate by fining the double-crosser, but sometimes had to spend his own money to impose that fine. All 14 players chose revenge whenever the double-cross was deliberate and the retaliation free. Twelve punished a deliberate double-cross even if it cost them additional money. Only three retaliated when the double-cross wasn't deliberate. The PET scans showed a brain region known to be important for enjoyment and satisfaction - the dorsal striatum - became active in those players who decided to retaliate. It wasn't an afterglow from revenge, but satisfaction from anticipating it. When the retaliation cost them money, a second brain region that helps weigh costs and benefits got involved, but the striatum remained key. The level of activity actually predicted who would spend more money to get revenge. "Their behavior does not reflect blind revenge that follows from overwhelming emotions," said study co-author Ernst Fehr, director of the University of Zurich's economic research institute. "They reduce punishment if it is costly for them in the same way as they reduce buying goods if the goods become more expensive." The study involved only men.
i didn't know you lost your job...sorry, man. what kind of work do you do?? i'll keep my ears opened.
The study involved only men. Let them try to do that with a group of women. I guarantee you, by the time they finished, half would be dead.
Yeah what happened. More details needed for my VooDoo Curse. Can you obtain some personal items and possibly some hair or nail clippings?
Oh, I do graphic work. I was working for a sign shop designing "auto wraps". They look like graphical paint jobs on cars but are really printed on huge printers. Maybe someone has seen the Nextel PT Cruiser I did around the town: photo The guy I was working for was the biggest jerk I have ever met in my life, seriously. He thrived on it. It was unreal. He only was there because he married the owner who started the business. I finally had enough, and he probably wanted me gone anyway (he would tell customers I worked with that he hated graphic artists), things came to a head so I let him know exactly what I thought of him in front of all the employees. So now I need a job, but my back is still messed up and I still can't even walk right, and it can be pretty painful at times. It's making things extra tough. But things usually work out...
GEORGE: I've got some plans. I got plans. JERRY: What kind of plans? GEORGE: What's the difference? JERRY: You don't wanna tell me? GEORGE: I'm gonna slip him a mickey. JERRY: What? In his drink? Are you outta your mind? What? Are you Peter Lorre? GEORGE: You don't understand. He's got this big party coming up. He's been looking forward to this for months. This is gonna destroy the whole thing. JERRY: What if you destroy him? GEORGE: No. No. No. No. No. Don't worry. It's perfectly safe. I researched it. He'll get a little woozy. He might keel over. JERRY: Well, wha - what does that do? Big deal. GEORGE: This is what they would do in the movies! It's a beautiful thing! It's like a movie! I'm gonna slip him a mickey! JERRY: You've really gone mental. GEORGE: Nah. JERRY: Where are you gonna get this mickey? I can't believe I'm saying "mickey"! GEORGE: I got a source. JERRY: You got a mickey source? ---- Jerry: The best revenge is living well. George: There's no chance of that.
