because it seems like nowdays everyone isolates and pretends their discord relationships are real, and then complains when an actual human being calls them. there’s already no connection between people, no communal spaces, no in-person relationships. it’s so hard to see anyone anymore. and now you all want to shit all over one way to connect more directly?

and how almost every commenter in this space has the same mentality. it’s horrifying. are you all shut-ins? it reveals something dark about the kind of people that post on this site and really undermines other communities.

and seeing people moralizing mental disorders instead of taking responsibility for them. that does real harm to others. anxiety is manageable and treatable. retreating into these closed systems only exacerbates it, and encouraging others to do the same only exacerbates theirs.

oh no you might be uncomfortable!!! that’s so sad. whoever calls you is totally responsible.

anxiety sucks but stop blaming others for it. it’s not their fault you choose to avoid the phone. maybe seek help for learning how to do a very basic human function instead of blaming others for it? or encouraging others to become defunct in a basic human function?

here we go, socially awkward redditors moralizing their awkwardness around phones again

It’s called a human conversation, try it some time assholes. I’m sooooo sorry someone speaking to you is inconvenient.

have you considered returning to monke? nah then you’d just whine about fecal baseball being awkward

I know Threads sucks, but where would it fall on this? Another Networking one?

Oh okay! I thought it was just about the YouTube channel. Like someone was advertising a random YouTube channel that used the Joy of Painting aesthetic. I didn’t realize PBS was airing this show again! That’s amazing.

before Uber there was… Kakao Taxi. and it was beautiful

depends on where you go upstate, but yeah, rural America in general is where you find confederate flags

I’m not sure it’s fair to say that someone succeeds Bob Ross when they have less than 5k subscribers. They could have 500k and still be virtually unknown. That’s not to nitpick at popularity, but rather to point at how, well… there’s a million Beyonces out there who become nothing. Talent alone isnt what made these people great. They came into our homes and touched lives. If 5k is all it takes then I’m Bob Ross too.

edit nevermind TVs still exist im dumn

i dont get it either. i hate the horror genre. i wish i could understand but i guess thats what makes humans interesting, how differently we can see things

I’ve never heard of Ms. Rachel. is she an onion invention or someone worth knowing?

Thanks! I’ve been pretty happy with this instance from the start. Keep up the good work.

I love that idea too! We just gotta create a space for it, I guess. Boy do I have things to say… my facility’s CEO took his life this weekend and it’s been a mad scramble. Only in In-patient!

Very cool! Wish there were more of us on here. r/therapists is still one of the main reasons I use Reddit. Well, uh, I guess you and I could talk? But at that point, with you as a super-super and me as a first-year post-grad, it would just sound like shoddy anonymous online supervision!

Wow you’re pretty high up there. So that sounds like you are yourself a supervisor and supervisor educator and supervisor educators’ supervisor? Like some kind of a consulting group where my supervisors probably got trained? I don’t actually know who does the licensing for supervisor status - I’m guessing it’s just like the entry level where you have to get hours from anywhere that the state board vetted and stamped off on? It’s so interesting to me how state licensure has such a long relationship with private entities.

that’s pretty rad. i have a friend who teaches in chicago, the stuff he tells me he has to go through just to secure his place in the field is just ridiculous.

all the emphasis on new publications, new ideas, new this and that – what if we already got the important ideas down years ago and now the work of philosophy is in putting it to practice? why demand that scholars demonstrate their capacity for new ideas instead of demonstrating a capacity for outstanding pedagogy of existing ones? it drives me nuts… we say all of modern philosophy is a series of footnotes to plato and yet expect our professors to focus on advancing the field rather than focusing on principles of quality education and mentoring

gah this is why i left academia to do therapy

Do you enjoy it? r/teachers is miserable

Clinical Mental Health Counseling, in-patient setting

The p isn’t silent; English phonology just doesn’t like the /pt/ sound. Likewise with the p in psychology. Or the p in pfizer.

all i can think of is Heat Stroke

All the time!
