I'm starting my clinical counseling masters program next month. At the same time, I left my job as a caseworker. Covid + RSV nearly killed me.

The healthcare system is so strained, overworked, and burned out it's unbelievable. Getting new clients into services was backed up months. Months before someone can receive medication management.. even my forensic clients...

It's kinda sick to say (hence why my former employer's CEO repeatedly talked about the fact that) there is more job security in the field of mental health than ever before, due to the trauma of the covid pandemic. Especially a traumatic time for frontline healthcare workers. So much loss, exploitation, and burn out..

The projection..

Even before I got to the last part where you talk about nicotine cravings, my first thought was caffeine withdrawal. When I have a caffeine dependence (like always) I get that feeling until I've had my strong coffee.

If I don't drink coffee, I get an ache/tightness in my neck, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and irritability.

I don't disagree with OP's personal take that they added to the post body, but I really think that's a bad practice...

It's one thing when someone links an excerpt from the article they are posting, which is commonplace. But the post body absolutely should not be for the user's subjective take, especially when the common practice is to quote the article. It muddies the waters and can be unclear who the author is (user or article).

Comments like OP made should be in the comments section where they belong. Anyone remember how r/Askreddit had to change the rules/automod because users would ask a question just to make a long story text post?

Comments should stay in the comments section for news communities like this. The only exception should be posts with many links/megathreads.

I've also seen users state things in the post body that contradict the article they posted. I think there should be a rule added to stop this practice. If your personal take has merit, it'll be upvoted in the comments. It's vain and problematic to put it in the post body IMO.

They're bad at their jobs because they lack even a shred of empathy. They are indoctrinated into dehumanizing any perceived enemy of Isreal.

What about "Amazon" and "healthcare"?

Such a sickening development.... Source

Man, you really can't comprehend analogies, can you?..

I know what hyper-focus is on a personal level as someone with ADHD. I also have a BS in psychology, 6 years experience as a specialized caseworker for adults who are disabled due to serious mental illness, and I was just accepted into a clinical counseling masters of science program.

You are so utterly misguided and this is not only falling flat, but it's trivializing the symptoms people struggle with. It's not helpful. In fact, it is the opposite...

I'm not raging. I'm perfecly calm. I'm just from NJ haha.

And it's called an analogy; not a tangent.

I'm sure there's going to be a big circle-jerk of hate because of GTA online, but I'm excited about a new GTA, finally. Despite being told by everyone that Starfield was a steaming pile of dog shit, I enjoyed that.

Rockstar can eat a dick for how they handle the mudding *modding community and they are definitely greedy bastards. But that's not going to stop me from enjoying GTA Florida insanity. Must become Florida Man...

What are you talking about? How on earth did you extrapolate that?

Or did you take the fact that concentration problems aren't typically constant as a positive trait somehow?

If someone has seizures every hour, it doesn't make their seizures a positive trait just because they're not constant.

I have EDS. I am 31 and haven't had a day without pain since 2nd grade. It's made me a tough son of a bitch with a crazy pain tolerance. That's come in handy, like when I jumped in to save my dog from a stray that attacked him. You can say my pain tolerance is a positive outcome of my degenerative joint condition.

If you came up to me trying to frame my suffering as something I should be chipper about, I'd probably chew you up and spit you in the trash.

This is just blatantly ignorant to anyone with any sense. You're just being disrespectful and demonstrating that you are disconnected from the reality of the situation.

This is like asking someone: "Are you sure you have a bad heart? You don't appear to be having a heart attack right this very second."

Having concentration problems does not mean one can never concentrate. Especially ridiculous to propose in response to such a short comment.

I personally think you're some young kid that believes they figured out some new age bullshit or something.

That was absolutely my first thought. Haven't looked at their history, but saw this post and one on the Autism community back-to-back.

I feel like their intentions are good, but the results are insulting and borderline delusional.

Those are fair points, but that strategy won't work if they attack a NATO nation. Even without the support of the US, NATO would wipe the floor with russia.

But what's the cost to decommission/replace?..

That's the only factor that seems to really matter.

After the losses russia has sustained in Ukraine (equipment, serviceman) I just can't imagine a war with NATO being feasible. Even if putin initiated a war due to delusions/false beliefs in russian military capability, I feel like they pose about as much of a threat to NATO as north korea..

NATO would absolutely decimate russia in traditional warfare. I'm not arguing against strengthening boarders, but russia is a joke of 'military superpower.' The longer russia wages war with Ukraine, the less of a threat they will be in the future. Their population still hadn't recovered from their incompetent approach to WWII, and they've been repeating their strategy of throwing bodies into the meat grinder with much less success this time around. They've stooped to sending their prison population to fight in Ukraine out of desperation...

The only threat to NATO russia could pose is with chemical and/or nuclear warfare. And even then, I highly doubt even half of their nuclear surplus is even operational. Look at how this war with Ukraine revealed how systemic corruption resulted in russia's assets/equipment being neglected/never even existing but on paper.

Actual conflict with NATO is just a pipe dream for russia. In waging war with Ukraine, putin revealed that russia being a "military superpower" is merely a myth. putin is just a self-deluded weak tyrant like his buddy kim, who he's had to buy weapons from due to diminishing russia's surplus. And china is just a paper tiger whose military has only been tested thru genocide and fist fights on India's border.

Obviously I'm not privy to the intelligence information of NATO allies, but I'm more concerned about stubbing my toe than russia invading NATO countries.

Thanks, fixed.

Not to be confused with Flexi Disc, which was essentially a CD-sized vinyl record with a sample track, that used to be inserted into magazines. Especially big in russia.

The sound quality left a lot to be desired. He's a very rare Slowdive track with a banging tempo that was only released on Flexi Disc.

The BF1942 theme/title music is the most epic to me.

Yep. I honestly used to think the abbreviation is kinda cringeworthy, but it's outweighed by my laziness..
