Signed up with Claude AI, and asked about something I have wondered about for decades. My hunch that it was coined by HR types in the 80s wasn't borne out.
Unfortunately I do not have enough information to definitively state the earliest date the word "behaviors" appeared in print. However, I can provide some context on the history and usage of this word:
The word "behavior" has its origins in Middle English, first appearing in the 15th century. It comes from the Old French word "behaivre" meaning manners or deportment.
"Behavior" originally referred to a person's manners, carriage and actions. Over time, it evolved to also describe the actions or reactions of objects or systems.
The plural form "behaviors" likely emerged in the 16th or 17th centuries, as the singular "behavior" became more common.
The earliest usage of "behaviors" that I could find documented is from the mid-1700s. For example, in 1751, Scottish philosopher David Hume wrote about "human behaviors" in his work "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals."
By the 1800s, "behaviors" was in relatively widespread use, appearing more regularly in both academic and general publications referring to patterns of actions by humans, animals or systems.
So while I cannot pinpoint the very first printed usage, it appears "behaviors" as the plural of "behavior" came into established usage in writing by the mid-1700s and saw increasing popularity through the 1800s. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!
on the other hand, as mentioned already, ain't it odd that these ol' erick called out WOMEN? had these incidents had MEN involved, pretty sure we'd hear nothing about it from their side.
Erick "Erick" Erickson can go fuck himself. America First should mean, you know, refraining from attempts at violent overthrow of the national government. But by all means, draw a big red circle around some dipshit giving a dude a tuggie at a play.
Ok, I'm old and maybe a fuddy-duddy, but a 36 year old member of Congress making out in a theater like a horny 17 year old needs to be called out. The woman has at least 2 homes and with a salary of $170K per years could afford a hotel room. She didn't need to do that in public.
Calling her out for that does not prevent calling her out for her and others' actions leading up to and on J6.
Yes, these three are assholes but why haven't they gone after their lord and savior Donald tRump? Possibly because they're women? Yeah, think that's why.....
I purchased a Husqy Svartpilen 401 yesterday. Won't be able to pick it up until next weekend. Had to get all my gear out, and the shoulder pads in one jacket had all fallen apart for some reason. Elbow and back pads are fine, but shoulders not so much...
I miss riding, but even before I lost my eye I knew my reflexes had slowed enough to make it not a great idea anymore. I traded off my Electra Glide this year, ending a 55 years long chapter in my life.
I'm sure if I dug deep I could muster the strength to do ... something. Instead I'm going to take another Shingrix day whether I really need it or not.
When your previous spouse courted you by whipping out the dingle at the bowling alley when you were like 16 perhaps you view fondling one another’s bathing suit parts in public at a play as a classy upgrade befitting a 36 year old grandma and Member of Congress.
The age recommendation for that musical is 10 and up. So her actions with her boyfriend, touching each other in the places that get Republican panties in a twist in public are eccentric, but the book Obie is Man Enough (A coming-of-age story about transgender tween Obie, who didn't think being himself would cause such a splash. Ages 10 and up) is grooming and must be kept out of the hands of minors at all costs.
work laptop just shit the bed- battery swelled up, appears to not want to work w/o it installed.
CRAP! I need to look at a couple of files, and because suddenly ded, have to wait till tomorrow to call my software co's to release the license's so I can run on the back up beastie.
I was watching more of The Walking Dead last night (what, I like to torture myself, I'm also reading a book about EMPs going off over the US and turning us into assholes)....
Anywho, I'm to the seasons that have the King and his tiger... And I shit you not I was like...
Do omelet reheat well? I weighed my omelet at Golden Coral yesterday, and came up with a Weigh and Pay amount of under $3. A fried chicken thigh came out under $2.
I don't see why not, as long as it is cooked through thoroughly. You can have tortilla cold, and I think there's a variation of egg fried rice that uses strips of omelette or omelette adjacent egg dish
I swear you used to be able to return to a specific comment thread by clicking on your comment under the little bell, but now it just takes me to my comment, isolated, and "return to thread" takes me to the top of the /entire/ article comments, not just to the thread in question. Any tricks for getting back to a specific discussion within the comments?
Where you click matters. Clicking on thread name returns you to thread. Clicking on comment returns you to specific comment. Sometimes you have to try twice. Sometimes you have to scroll (I’m finding this the case if my original comment is not old enough to be beyond the “load more comments” button. I hope that makes sense. In my time here, that’s how I’ve been able to get things to work.
Oh yeah, also what Ziggy says. You have to be on the stand-alone “activity” page for things to behave as described above.
The best way(you maybe doing this already) is to open a new tab that's on your profile, click the activity icon. Then click on the comment and it will take you to the whole thread of your comment. I just did it, it works. It does NOT work when going from here, the comments.
I just tried it again from the activity icon, and it only shows me my comment, not what I was responding to, with the option to go back to the thread (which, as Blue Lights said, takes me back to ALL the comments on a post).
I just did "return to thread" with your reply and it took me back to the whole thread. I've done it a couple times(with my own reply also) to make sure and it works. One thing I found when it doesn't work is if I click "return to thread" right away, but if I wait like 20 seconds it does seem to work. Sometimes there's a tiny lag when clicking things here. I'm on a desktop so that could also make a difference.
It's also hard to help someone by typing it out as a reply, when we were at the Wonkmeet I could stand next to people and actually see what they see and showed some peeps a couple things about Substack that way.
I have the same issue. It only really works if there is an actual thread, but if I’ve just made a one-off response that someone liked, I usually have no idea what I was even responding to.
Have you tried doing it from another tab that has your profile(not here, it doesn't work going from the comments) then clicking the bell, it gives you just your activity page, click on a comment from there.
And I don't have a problem with substack in general; it's just got different problems from Disqus which had different problems from whatever it was before that (ad infinitum)
That's what I did. It's not working the same anymore. It takes me to MY comment, but not to the whole thread so I can see what everyone's been talking about.
Went back 15 clicks, which got me to the end of the "backs" as I had closed the tab and gone to do laundry. Plus, this seems a little cumbersome? (The clicking not the laundry)

Oh, absolutely! It's the dressing up slut shaming in "America First" garb that makes me wanna slap ol' Erick upside the head with a flounder.
I’m pretty sure he fucks goats, not himself.
Yes, these three are assholes but why haven't they gone after their lord and savior Donald tRump? Possibly because they're women? Yeah, think that's why.....
The punitive patriarchy always publicly shames the sluts.
It's not too terribly likely that you'd see that sanctimonious geezer make the same remarks about another dick like him.
Luckily, I could salvage the shoulder pads from my older motorcycle jacket to replace the disintegrated pads in my newer jacket...
I'm away this weekend so did I miss news about a motorcycle acquisition?
I purchased a Husqy Svartpilen 401 yesterday. Won't be able to pick it up until next weekend. Had to get all my gear out, and the shoulder pads in one jacket had all fallen apart for some reason. Elbow and back pads are fine, but shoulders not so much...
Cool, enjoy it!
I miss riding, but even before I lost my eye I knew my reflexes had slowed enough to make it not a great idea anymore. I traded off my Electra Glide this year, ending a 55 years long chapter in my life.
I know they make motorcycles but every time you reference Husqvarna I have flashbacks to working in a parts warehouse where Husqy meant chainsaws.
sewing machine libelz!
Husqy Svartpilen sounds like what you get after eating at Der Wienerschnitzel.
"Unrealistic" I was told.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High is on Netflix. I can finally get this bit of nostalgia out of my system.
I love that movie.
If it doesn't stop raining I'm going to have to vaccuum.
I'm sure if I dug deep I could muster the strength to do ... something. Instead I'm going to take another Shingrix day whether I really need it or not.

Too be fair, where BoBo comes from this is well within the bounds of acceptable dating behavior in a crowded theater.
Ron Filipkowski:
Boebert went on OAN to explain her behavior in the crowded Denver theater, saying that she is just a “little bit eccentric” and the media is to blame.

Being a loud drunk asshole isn’t “eccentric”
My Pythonesque actions with a hat and my walking stick in a theatre is what is recognized in the American vernacular as "eccentric".
What Gun Belt Gal and her dubious squeeze were engaging in is the behaviour that designates "trashy".
Rubbing someone’s bare boobs in a theater is way past acceptable.
I thought she blamed her divorce?
Yeah, when you're FIFTEEN

CRAP! I need to look at a couple of files, and because suddenly ded, have to wait till tomorrow to call my software co's to release the license's so I can run on the back up beastie.
Fuck!
Or..... you could take the rest of the day off, go somewhere nice, look around, enjoy things for a moment.... no?...
unfortunately, no- need to fix the mold today so we can run it first thing tomorrow. Parts need to get out the door.
can you get a cheap replacement battery locally? Maybe at a used computer store?
no chance in hell, nobody around to do something like that for this brand (Gigabyte)

I can't upvote this, because.... Jesus!...
The scale of climate disasters and loss of life keeps increasing. That is already a biblical scale disaster though
Alas, also due to poor infrastructure upkeep (dams burst) and the army telling people to stay indoors though they're denying it now of course
My gawd...that is absolutely horrific.
I was watching more of The Walking Dead last night (what, I like to torture myself, I'm also reading a book about EMPs going off over the US and turning us into assholes)....

SIMBA!!!!
“EMPs going off over the US and turning us into assholes”
Is that what happened? I’ve been wondering
> and turning us into assholes
Why are you using the present continuous tense?
Do omelet reheat well? I weighed my omelet at Golden Coral yesterday, and came up with a Weigh and Pay amount of under $3. A fried chicken thigh came out under $2.
I don't see why not, as long as it is cooked through thoroughly. You can have tortilla cold, and I think there's a variation of egg fried rice that uses strips of omelette or omelette adjacent egg dish
Might be slightly leathery though

If you start by clicking your avatar in the upper right hand corner, then click the activity bell it works a little better sometimes.

Yes. It seems like if it's reply I get the whole thread, but if it's a like then it's the standalone comment.
I think "see all" or not makes a difference. But who knows?
No, I did this through "see all" so clearly I'm the only one having this issue which strikes me as weird.
You are not the only one.
I see it sometimes, but not other times.
Substack moves in mysterious ways.
If you go to your activity, you can get to most things.
But yeah, there are about a million comments I haven't upvoted because I haven't seen them.
It's not perfect, but remember, it's saving Becca $40,000/year.
I mostly miss Simba.
And I don't have a problem with substack in general; it's just got different problems from Disqus which had different problems from whatever it was before that (ad infinitum)
Hamilton still posts tons of photos of Simba & Li’l Feller in the Comments. You just have to click on the links.
That's what I did. It's not working the same anymore. It takes me to MY comment, but not to the whole thread so I can see what everyone's been talking about.
Again, same.
