I believe it was from one of those clear glass teleprompters.

Oh, I certainly wasn't trying to imply that we were the same. I know I've got it good. For how much education you guys have, unless you're private practice, you guys get fucked. I've worked with a lot of therapists who were severely undervalued and hard workers. The ones at my current facility are just babies who don't know how good they have it. One of the loudest complainers about not being able to get his work done literally has weight lifting time scheduled into his work day.

You were also the only other person in the mental health field, so that's why I commented on yours specifically, and I thought I would share a little anecdote about how my job sucks, too. I'm the only nurse Friday - Sunday, and on top of having to complete my nursing duties, I also have to do theirs.

Ped psych rn, getting my bachelor's. $86k for 36hrs a week at a low acuity pediatric suds facility in the Midwest. It's a therapy led facility, and the therapists got pissed when they realized I make more than them, so they had a riot and now I'm forced to lead therapeutic groups because their caseload of 3.5 kids is "unmanageable" 🙄

No problem! I get that about the first two, but they're really interesting. Of course It Could Happen Here is fiction, but his stories / predictions ended up having quite a few eerie synchronicities to what happened in the years following its release in 2019. Breaking down collapse is much more analytical and heady than conspiratorial. They talk about stuff like why monocultures crops are bad, the decline in insect population, or like how complicated and poorly understood the financial system is and how that sets us up for instability. Their followup podcast is called Building Up: Resilience. I haven't started it yet, though

Parents man... The other day my dad told me he wanted to watch some new movie because, and this is literally what he said, "it looks violent." I didn't know how to respond. Like, I consume media that has violence in it, but as an adult I'd never watch or play something solely for the fact that some dude beats the shit out of people in it? It's sad.

I get lots of "Hey! We talked last week about your house! Still interested in selling? What's your cash price?" My reply is an upscaled goatse.

Congress passed the bill back in the 70s. They'd have to pass another bill to undo it. With corporate lobbying from the auto manufacturers it's very unlikely. They make bank on SUVs and trucks. Hell, the only model Ford sells that isn't a truck or SUV is the Mustang.

A federal judge in texas ruled last year that preventing people under indictment from purchasing firearms was unconstitutional based on the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, just FYI. So I don't think the situation is as cut and dry as it would have been just a couple years ago.

I dunno what state you live in, but the majority of what you stated isn't true in the vast majority of the country.

They also teach now to use the provided additional set of pads to basically wax the chest.

I'm a fan of the Schmidt p9000 fine. It's a g2 size refill. I'm a nurse and my facility still has paper charts for certain day to day things, so I write quite a bit. Definitely recommend a try. They're around $2.50 each.
