academia is so cancerous the biggest sign that capitalism works is when you can't do research that will help people unless you spend a large amount of money to purchase the rights to an assessment measure, or you spend several years creating your own assessment measure so you can do a study

What does your illness feel like in particular.

Yuu
it's anime withdrawal!
Anno
>>449729 I mean what specific symptoms are you feeling.
The person who runs the clinic I work at is being a shit and says I'm not allowed to get new clients because I missed an intake a while ago and was late to something non-client related last week. Apparently I haven't been allowed to get new clients for a while, but nobody told me! I also had a letter sent about me from that bitchy lady who came 10 minutes late for session and then spent the entire session taking a 10 minute assessment on the computer, but nobody ever gave me the letter or any feedback whatsoever about it. However, I'm being criticized for not following a procedure that nobody, including my supervisor at the clinic, knew existed.
No I meant the grills >>449750 Oh they are They're left on campsites all the time
You CAN use them more than once, but nobody ever does They come with coal and a metal grill over an aluminum casing They're like, super bad in a lot of ways, and really I dunno if they're even sold anymore now that I think about it Used a lot as a kid Well "a lot", whenever we went tenting and stuff

>Aborigines fucked up Australia by doing that too much
>>449761 I'm going camping in Zion National Park with Jan soon. I'm excited.
Anno
In Australia's defense it was kind of fucked up to begin with. Setting the forest on fire didn't summon horse of venomous spiders and other critters.
Hordes even.
>>449762 Food shouldn't be burnt but cooked to exquisite perfection.
>>449764 Yeah I've been seeing you talk about it. Looks pretty; I've never been in a part of the world looking like that.
Maria
>>449764 Honestly I'm impressed they managed to do that with just some sticks and stones
>A 2011 research paper has questioned whether Indigenous Australians carried out widespread burning of the Australian landscape. A study of charcoal records from more than 220 sites in Australasia dating back 70,000 years has found that the arrival of the first inhabitants about 50,000 years ago did not result in significantly greater fire activity across the continent. The arrival of European colonists after 1788, however, resulted in a substantial increase in fire activity.

Can't have been too excessive, Australia is like covered in forest isn't it?

I mean it's a BIG country. The parts with vegetation and forest are still pretty large swaths of land. But in terms of ratio the arid and sparse vegetation parts far outnumber it.

weird thing about psychology is that psychologists all think they can bullshit each other like we can all see through bullshit that doesn't mean we can't have our bullshit be seen through yet they all still try to bullshit each other they'll talk shit about how they respect their colleagues and they do respect some of their colleagues but they bullshit everyone else
it's so weird i hate how people will sit there and bullshit to my face and i gotta sit there and take it because the bullshitters are in charge like these people just sit there and disrespect me to my face, trying to talk shit to me but trying to phrase it so i don't know they're talking shit "there's the path most people take, and then there's the path you take" like you think i don't get what you're saying? you're saying you don't like the way i do things and don't understand how my brain works
TN !PcAPtAiNJo

i wish i could tell them to eat a fat dick
Maria
>>449778 Would it be better if they just talked shit straight up instead of dacing around it
Kirara 🚗
Yeah, it'd be better if they just up and talked shit I hate how psychologists refuse to be straight about anything They all think they know what's best for other people, they know what other people need to hear, and how they need to hear it so they temper their language to a way they think you'll respond to well tryna manipulate me
sk
it's like one, long job interview
Kirara 🚗
I don't dance around and bullshit everyone Even if I'm bullshitting people I say it straight if I can
Everyone thinks they're hot shit because they're psychologists They do it to the point where they'll completely ignore tone and read too far into things They think simple things are complex and complex things are simple and anything they can't understand must be wrong
I was laughing about people talking shit to me with some colleagues and they're trying to validate me, like, "oh, that's not true, you're great" Bitch , I'm not looking for validation here. I'm telling you about something I thought was funny. I'm not fucking feeling insecure about the shit they was talking, I just think it's funny Fucking annoying Psychologists are so annoying
Anno
maria have you ever been out in that hueg australian desert
Anno
>>449785 I had a friend in highschool and college who used to do this, take the inflections in my tone and some of the micro-expressions that would cross my face and take those are -those as hints to what I was "really" thinking when I said something. And then I'd tell him he's wrong and explain what I was actually feeling and he'd go all huffy and act like he was in on it anyway. It was kind of exhausting at times.
>>449787 yeah it's annoying shit And fuckin everybody is like that It never ends, everyone thinks they see shit but they ignore the most obvious shit
Kirara 🚗
all these fucks think they can identify that people have problems from their behaviors but miss all the important shit thinking i'm upset about some shit i don't care about while ignoring my patterns of behavior that are common in PTSD or substance abuse
Anno
>>449789 And get it in their heads that now that they have some kind of higher understanding they can't trust anyone to just be straight and honest with them. Like sure I'm not the most candid person but I generally avoid an outright lie when I can. You haven't unlocked the fucking secrets of the mind you loser you just have read up on what typically matches with what.
Anno
What do you think of dialectical behavioural therapy?
I can't afford a therapist, so I was thinking of trying that on my own somehow. Not sure how, really.
YuuKirara 🚗
>>449791 Yeah, it's so stupid. You can't really find shit out about what's going through someone's head unless you ask. They all think they're fucking mind readers.
>>449792 DBT is pretty good for some things. It's not the treatment modality I generally use. I might use it if I were treating PTSD since my humanistic models aren't particularly effective for a lot of PTSD symptoms and I don't have the proper training to administer EMDR. It would be difficult to do DBT to yourself. Probably impossible. There are behavioral techniques you can do to yourself, but one of the biggest factors in therapy being successful is a good therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic relationship is generally what mediates the effectiveness of the therapy.
Sometimes it's possible to find outpatient psychological help at community mental health centers that use a sliding scale for people who are poor. The clinic I work at costs $25 per appointment which is pricey, but it's pretty cheap compared to most treatment. We can also lower it to $15 sometimes.
My tactics team is almost ready. I just need a horse unit that I actually want to use.
Ko-Shi
I'll just have Tactics "units". I need to see who the Arena bonuses are for the next two weeks before I burn feathers though. I have my 20k I've been doing all the little things to get feathers daily and it's added up. Even though I should probably just send a bunch of units home but I need to steal their skills just in case.
Kirara 🚗
Once I have a horse unit I like, I'll be able to make a lot of different tactics teams. But none of the existing horse units are really characters I particularly like. I mean, I like Camus, I guess. And I like Lyn. But I don't want either of them to be my tactics character.
Ko-Shi
Siegbert is nice which is why it's hard to throw him away. I want to put a Tactic 3 on Hinoka because her+Eirika are fun times a 2 Inf 2 Flier setup runs really well between them. Hinoka, Eirika, Myrrh, Fae for example
Kirara 🚗
Wait, I've been reading movement type as the number of spaces something can move.
Ko-Shi
lmao oh no
Kirara 🚗
I guess I don't need a horse for my team after all.
Ko-Shi
No, you don't
Kirara 🚗
That's exciting.
Maybe I'll use Halloween Nowi, then.
Ko-Shi
ahhh I wish
Kirara 🚗
That improves my team a lot, since it uses Sanaki and her refined tome.
Ko-Shi
Which Tactic do you have that you're going to move? Atk from V.Lilina, right?
Kirara 🚗
Yeah. I can move a res or atk tactic. I'm not 100% sure I'll use Nowi yet, since I already have a red tome on the team.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Is weird how this game actually brings up new platforming tricks you need to learn does them simple and then bit later throws them at you full force as platforming timing puzzle And then some newer games would kinda stop the gameplay and instead have a ingame tutorial for new things isntead of just dropping them on you, having you go "oh this is how this goes" and then be ready for it when it really comes at you in the wild and all the while the game does this inch by inch training for the player, the harder its challenges become
sometimes I feel this is lacking in newer titles or maybe I just don't play those
FormerRei@mobile
>>449794 How fucking cheap is it normally that makes you say "$25 is pricey"?
>>449814 my mum got surgery and they want her to do physical therapy which is a $50 copay three times a week and she'd have to drive an hour to the appointment which is // would do more damage probably that's six hundred dollars a month doctors are getting mad at her for not doing it and don't understand why she can't it's so fucked up
FormerRei@mobile
>>449814 I mean I guess its pricy compared to not getting treatment. Although not everyone goes weekly. I've had therapists I saw every other week.
If you point out an individual doctor, there is a chance that I will like that individual human being.
But I still hate doctors.

he hates the form of doctors dont be black and white
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
what if I am red and blue?
FormerRei@mobile
I'm probably going to regret asking this, but why do you hate doctors?
FormerRei@mobile
Alternatively just tell me whether or not your hating it has to do with the fact that lives could be saved if "they" charged less.
FormerRei@mobile
Or has anything to do with money.
Kirara 🚗
It doesn't really matter why.
Ko-Shi
Reasons are mistakes
FormerRei@mobile
Well I mean I guess it doesn't really matter why. I was just wondering if it was something I would consider rational or reasonable. Like it could be something I consider irrational that I think is reasonable for you to think that way. You just happen to have a lot of strong opinions in ways that really differ from most people and I find them interesting.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>449821 and does it also go down if it is say twicw a week?
Kirara 🚗
>>449832 At that point, it kind of depends on the diagnosis and the strength of the therapeutic relationship;
Anno
>>449829 Did you drop out of premed? I've read it is extremely competetive and everyone acts like a psychopath.
Anno
>>449834 i TA'ed premed classes it's so fuckin cringey good god i dont even like thinking about it
Kirara 🚗
My reason isn't really rational. There are a lot of factors that go into it, but the real reason is probably because doctors failed to save the lives of all /// a lot of the people I loved, but they saved my life
>>449834 Premed isn't even a major, its just something your parents tell your relatives to brag about you.
FormerRei@mobile
>>449836 Okay, that's not really surprising. That would be something I consider to be irrational but reasonable.
Anno
>>449837 i just graded papers for the premed phys/math classes
FormerRei@mobile
In my last therapy thing I had to do a lot of consideration about other people's feelings and beliefs in a way that I hadn't ever previously. So I think I sort of understand why people do things I don't really get or believe something I don't understand. Where previously I'd usually just not consider those reasons important and just consider them irrational for ignoring objective facts.
>>449841 it's pretty hard to do it can also be troublesome to infer things and misunderstand sometimes
FormerRei@mobile
Like I had a similar thing I sort of did that's related to how I rarely get angry at people. >>449843 Yeah part of what I do know is just consider certain beliefs or behaviors based in some sort of axiom that I don't know. Axiom in that its something core to the way they experience the world and it can't realistically be changed. And also that its irrelevant to them whether or not I prove that their feelings or reaction to something is irrational/hypocrisy. Because that's just how they are.
YuuFormerRei@mobile
>>449844 Oh but by irrational I mean in this sense hypocritical I guess.
Anno
i mean, you're kind of inferring a lot to even call things hypocritical in any context
FormerRei@mobile
Well for the purpose of what I'm referring to I will in a debate ask do you agree and believe in X and then if they say "yes" then I'll demonstrate logically how their previous statement or expressed belief is incosistent with their belief in X. Where X is usually something about how someone believes they should treat other people.
Anno
oh yeah i guess debates are different those are contained systems just be wary about organic contexts and then labeling that because you dunno what's happening
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah it's hypocrisy in that sense. But if something comes up in a conversation that really bothers me I'll turn ot into a debate and do the sort of "given proposition X that you agree to etc I don't do that too much anymore. Well I do, i just do it less.
Anno
do you feel uncomfortable outside of axiomatic contexts where things are clearly distinguished i am variable in that and it's a phenomenon i consider anxious constriction i can function a lot better unconstricted where i can navigate a system a little more fluidly but that can be a little overwhelming to process sometimes
you can actually end up with less processing space by being overstimulated because the subroutines feed into higher-order functioning instead of being exploratory in their own right it depends on the tasks and environment of course, but we can overlook a lot and only think we're processing better if we stay contained in that narrow space there's a lot to be picked up by backnavigating though

oh no it's fine tbh i could honestly just not wait and get the work done one day prior and still maintain my old schedule but this is what i choose because the deadlines help me coordinate and focus i literally dont get anything done if there's no deadline any time i become... not distressed, what's the word // like needing to take a break, i just never get back to the work because i'm like, "Oh, there's plenty of time. i can go think about systems and lay down in blankets" and i do that instead all the change did was change their business hours from 5 est to 1 est which is fine, they got a family and i understand
that's the other thing i'm distressed yeah other people do their jobs and have spouses and children and do their taxes on time too i'm just too fuckin anxious to do anything sometimes i wonder what i even do, like at all time passes and i dont know what ive done, but i'm always fucking exhausted like i did a lot

>>449968 even with rev, it gets better getting out of the rookie stuff and making it to plus status gives access to a lot of better clients technically everyone besides trainees have access to them, but plus status has earlier access to them, so what's still left after 90 minutes is sent on to the normal users to claim so there is very clear audio in there but it is usually gobbled up by the more dedicated transcribers right away while i don't condone their rate of pay, it is a decent chance to get experience under your belt so you can market yourself elsewhere
as far as higher-paying companies go, some of them dont require experience but you will still have to demonstrate an ability to handle difficult audio so it's best to have some experience with that one way or another
Anno

i definitely see better audio on average where i work now, but also the hardest files i have worked on come from here too the baseline work is very easy, but it's the availability and reliability even for harder stuff that makes a transcriber valuable

>>450151 the technique behind the art in PoP was really cool for the time the animation rather
FormerRei@mobile
>>450160 Actually rotoscoping had been a mainstay of animation for like 50+ years at that point in time. Its just that no one considered using it for animation in a videogame. Excluding shit like dragon's lair because that was traditionally animated. Although i am not familiar enough with it to know whether or not it had any rotoscoped stuff.
Anno
>>450161 no i know rotoscoping i mean about the creator of the game recording with a camera and what he did to get the fluid animations compared to animation in games at the time
FormerRei@mobile
Oh yeah that part, Uh That is rotoscoping
FormerRei@mobile
I liked his reason for it though, he was a self proclaimed bad animator so he did it because he thought it would be easier.
Anno
it's achieved through rotoscoping but i'm not talking about rotoscoping
FormerRei@mobile
Okay yeah i get what you mean. While picking clip sources or making yoyr own isn't strictly part of the literal definition of rotoscoping in reality it is generally a part of the process because in order to do the rotoscoping you need to have frames to copy
Maria
It looks a lot more fluid than many other video games produced in that time
Anno
>>450171 sorry im not good with words i shouldn't have said technique implementation and design concept and the execution the whole story behind the pop development really the amount of technicality in the game's development is notable for the time rotoscoping is one of the techniques used yes but that's not what made it all

Ready Player One got 5 out of 6 by NRK's movie people Not that I ever go by their reviews to begin with, because they're shit

What little 'review' there is accompanying the score is just An extremely rough outline of the plot, like "there's 3 keys and if you get them you get the company that owns the game. most players have given up but a few and this other company still haven't. The main characters are sympathetic, the supporting cast is boring and bland" And then, of course, the reason for the score "There are many references"

do you wanna try it at least

yeah i think so
Kirara 🚗
alright i can't for like 2.5-3 hours but after that i'm good 2 go do you got something you wanna watch

i will think about it if i end up being asleep by then dont worry about it ive been up since 11pm so it's questionable

alright well just let me know if you decide if not i guess you won't hurt yourself while you're sleepin

have you watched monster i feel like i tried to show it to you but it didnt work out

i remember the first time i actually wanted to do it the first time it entered my mind as a possibility might be the same time i actually wanted to do it but i don't remember if there was a time before that
Anno
I remember walking on a bridge over the valley and wondering what it would be like to jump off it. But I don't think I've ever wanted to. The worst I can manage seems to be a general apathy to my continued living, not a commitment to ending it.

i think about doing it pretty much every day but i have better alternatives now
i've had consistent suicidal ideation for so long now that i always forget other people haven't wanted to do that usually haha
Maria
Do you think it's stastically normal to have considered it at a point in ones life Common not normal
Kirara 🚗
considered it at what level like, "i wish i were dead" or like "i'm going to kill myself and this is how i'll do it"? or in between
Maria
Both "I wish I was dead" "I should kill myself and this is how I'd do it" "I'm going to do it" It's a sliding scale
sk
I consider it far less often now than I used to, at least
Kirara 🚗
>>450382 i think "i wish i were dead" is common but above that is probably not in terms of lifetime prevalence "i want to kill myself but never would" is common as well, though

Kirara 🚗
yeah a lot of people are pretty functional even people with really poor coping skills don't end up suicidal all the time usually i'm honestly pretty jealous of normal people i've been through so much shit, and other people get to just happily glide through life with occasional sad events i've got like two decades of emotional abuse, a ton of trauma, and that's just like part of it my brain is also different from most people's i got colleagues that can get insulted by a client and then cry about it later because it was so hurtful and i can't even fathom having the luxury of being able to respond like that
Anno
>>450389 Why would you then take on other people's problems? Do you find them a distraction from your own?
Kirara 🚗
I don't take on anyone else's problems! My job is to guide people and provide them with tools they can use to become their most authentic self. Also this is the path I was on before I got super fucked up and it was really the only thing I could do other than start over completely or go work minimum wage jobs as a homeless person. Plus I'm pretty good at what I do, in general.

Oh. The difference wasn't the +1, it was Vanguard Ike. Probably because of his season?
Ko-Shi
Oh yeah that's totally it. Now I'm getting 704 scores with full Earth teams.
Yuu
BST sucks!
Yuu
I usually get teams around 698-702. I use Corrin+6, Amelia+4, Black Knight, and bonus unit.
Ko-Shi
Is your Corrin 5* now?
Yuu
Yeah, she's been 5 star for awhile. I have two more Corrins to merge into her ready too.
Ko-Shi
I have 12 Corrins but I have yet to 5 any I've been averaging 1 5* every two weeks now. But I don't know if the feather output is going to keep up with my pace.
Yuu
Corrin is great but it does cost a lot of feathers to make her good. Relatively low skill investment though. And since you're merging her from a large pool of Corrins you get a good selection of IVs. I recommend +spd.
Ko-Shi
I think I'll reconsider who I Summoner boost. I need more Matthews but until then, I need more points.
Yuu
My summoner boost is Corrin. She is a little bit of a BST anchor though, I could probably get higher boost with someone in her slot. On the other hand, she counters so much bullshit in arena (including horse Lyn) that she's worth bringing along.
A more BST minded decision would be a distant counter Myrrh (or lightning breath as a budget option) with the iote's shield seal. She could do everything my Corrin does while providing high BST.
Ko-Shi
That's what I like about Matthew too. He eats through Lyn easy because he slides through all the things she's strong against. I guess Dragons also work since the refined weapons will hit against her DEF instead of RES
Yuu
Yeah, you can deal with a lot of annoying issues using dragon breath. The only thing that really beats up my Corrin are certain green mages and green dragons.
One strange team comp that I have trouble with is the Nino/Eirika combo.

Anno
not to be rude but that's kind of rude
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah my bad. I was just thinking about that dog. She'd either be really old and ready to be put down now or been dead for a while. It's the only other dog I've owned.
Anno
well i feel for you sorry you have to put your dog down but you know you are saving her pain as someone in pain i promise you it's the humane choice
FormerRei@mobile
The nvm was about me thinking it was my old dog. I didn't intend to stifle you.
FormerRei@mobile
Anyways I was only giving an update on the timing, I don't intend to continually bring it up. Although I don't really know how to deal with it emotionally.

You should go into AI Or behavioral prediction and analytics

Oh but saying that society is "designed" is inaccurate. Well it may be composed of things that are designed it all really just grows in weird ways and just happens. Its very organic.
But a rainforest doesn't. Well, it might be arguable that it does. But it isn't designed.
Maria
Ants and termites are so cool
Kirara 🚗
>>450479 you could say "a termite mound is designed in a way that allows easy movement from one part of the mound to another" and the usage would be correct designed can refer to the fact that it does have a design, some kind of set-up or plan, rather than saying that something was explicitly created in a certain way even if organic forces are what create something, it can still have a design and be designed in a specific way
FormerRei@mobile
Designed implies intent and there is no intent behind a rainforest. It consists of things that may have their own "intent" but they have to work around each other.
FormerRei@mobileKirara 🚗
>>450482 designed does not imply intent unless you are using the word in a way that implies intent
FormerRei@mobile
After looking at dictionaries for a bit I've determined it doesn't just imply intent but by definition includes intent with the exception of an archaic definition that is unrelated to the discussion. So I was wrong to say "implies intent". I don't know whether or not something can explicitly refer to intent and imply it at the same time though.

>>450491 sorry to be blunt but that's delusional and not functional linguistically if you're familiar with shannon's works on entropy, you'd see it as impossible
FormerRei@mobile
>>450496 In this case it is part of the core definition. Also there is a point where people use words incorrectly. >>450498 Okay, but at what point is it okay to pick a word and use it with a new definition and expect people to understand what you're saying? Are you saying that because its statistical I should just accept any new definitions?
Anno
again, definitions are statistic interpretations to deny the meta-relevance of linguistic objects is to abandon linguistic principles
Anno
>>450497 it's not a new definition it's an inherited context you expect people with that context to decode your linguistic object in the way you encoded it because that's what's culturally relevant within that sphere
Anno
>>450497 the last question is no, and you don't have to accept any definitions you also don't have to respond to definitions which aren't congruent with your cultural mesh
FormerRei@mobile
Okay, but what if there is let's say, multiple orders of magnitude of more people who "decode" and "encode" it in the way I do amongst people in my sphere than people who ostensibly speak my language and use that word in a way that is utterly distinct from its definition on my end?
Anno
why are you putting decode and encode in quotes
FormerRei@mobile
I'm not familiar enough with the terminology in this specific context to be 100% sure that I'm using them correctly. Fuck Brb
Anno
>>450501 what's the question here most people are expressing concepts exemplified in the statistical dictionary of terms? then that's pretty simple to interpret there are also statistical outliers using the terminology in specialized contexts, in smaller proportions? they're just tryna communicate within their specialization i'm not sure where the issue arises
FormerRei@mobile
Okay, but then are you saying that there's no way to use a word incorrectly?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
The fuck did I come back to what's happening
Anno
>>450505 whether you're using a word incorrectly depends on the transducer being signalled e.g. if i'm signalling to you through language and there's poor receptivity to my linguistic objects due to a disparity in terminology, then yeah it's poor signalling on my part if i'm signalling to the public then i'm going to want statistical significance so that any misinterpretations can be resolved within the public populace if i'm signalling to a peer, or someone very close to me and familiar with my referenec language, i will have the most clarity by using the same linguistic objects that i formalize an idea with
>>450507 Yeah, I don't mean in the really general case. I mean shit like calling a red fruit yellow. Or asking if I watched a movie. Or calling a perfectly flat plain a valley.
>>450511 these are things that haven't occurred there's no ambiguity in those statements across a normalized channel
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah so I get that language changes and shit but in a more strict sense I guess it would be better to say I use an approximation by treating it as if it is static and has a rigid and logical structure.
Kirara 🚗
i'm complaining that psychology as a field ignores societal conditions that perpetuate mental illness and does nothing to rectify it, and it's hard to be excited to help a single person when so many are being actively ignored and i got this response >You as an individual will not reach every person who could benefit from your help. People will die and for reasons that make no sense. It isn’t fair. And it hurts. And it is okay to take time to grieve, or nurse a fever back to health, or go into nature where you feel free. If you return and find that inspite of all the suffering and pain, you still feel inspired to leave your print on the world in the way that you are able, the program will still be here or another program. You have the intelligence and skills to do many things, Matt, and that’s likely one of the many things your friends admire in you. >Please remember that mental illness, much like physical illness, unfortunately, takes lives, despite efforts to prevent it. It doesn’t mean we should stop trying to save the ones that are still alive. Our meaning comes from our process, not necessarily the end result.

Anno
>>450516 academia is centred around the masses water you gonna do we're in an age where being a statistical outlier is a sign of poor understanding to understand something means to use it statistically, functionally for mass apeal appeal even as a doctor, you're geared around treating the general case, and exceptions are referred out you're not permitted to take risks so you just follow statistical guidelines and that's that can't go wrong if you defer to a specialist
by novel thought in academia you're demonstrating poor functionality within the system it's not a corrupted system but it is a useless system
FormerRei@mobile

FormerRei@mobile
Also do you want to be Emiya? You can't solve everything, and you shouldn't burden yourself with the feeling of an obligation to do things you can't. Although I could be misunderstanding something.
Kirara 🚗
my idea is that if we as psychologists work on creating interventions that will prevent or at least help prevent mental illness from taking hold if we can attribute certain causes and factors to the onset of mental illness, it's irresponsible to perpetuate a system which does nothing to address those factors this isn't even like, an ANARCHY NOW REVOLUTION thing, this is just like, we need to actually try to help people before mental illness really gets them

I recently found out that a very large amount of very important information has been withheld from me and is still being withheld from me despite the fact that it is basically necessary that I have it. The boss of my clinic is withholding feedback that clients have provided about me, and I've apparently been barred from seeing new clients for some time now and had no idea about it. She also has a number of vague complaints about an intake I did three or four months ago??? And I'm just now finding out about it.
TN
>>450526 a basic "let's spot ilness early so it can be treared away and not alleviated untill you die" basicallu a'since medicine already does this to a point, why shpuldn't indeed the mental side do it too
>>450539 It's not helpful at all. I think that might be the point, I think the goal may be to have me removed if possible.
Yuu
>>450541 Which would you say is the primary of the two?
Maria
>>450532 >we've had complaints >and we're not gonna let you have your feedback so you can actually adress the complaints It's like a fucked up game
Kirara 🚗
Also, I explained very clearly that I missed an intake that was scheduled for me because I didnotknowIhadit to the program chair, and she decided that the best way to help me would be to improve my time management skills. Nobody listens to anything anyone says.
TN
the system sounds more like hammering any shaped peg into a round hole and not giving a single fuck about results
FormerRei@mobile
>>450544 I feel like that's like half of the people in your field do that consistently. Its fit my experience, but then the other half is very understanding.
Yuu
>>450544 allow me to be sexist here and say that women generally suck as bosses, especially those who are conflict avoidant and indirect. Which is what it sounds like is the problem here.
The real question is that if your disillusionment with the field has grown out of the fact that your boss did you dirty.
Anno
>>450547 especially on boards everyone sucks on boards it's so complicated and contrived
FormerRei@mobile
Also this reminds me of the sort of bullshit I had handed to me when I was asked to leave that internship. Well I was asked to "voluntarily leave" and that if I did I could come back later but if I stayed that I would not be able to come back if it didn't go well. I knew at that point there was no way I could rectify the situation without them accusing me of being confrontational so I just took my check and left.
Anno
>>450549 you should have agreed with the contingency that they voluntarily sucked deez nuts
Kirara 🚗
>>450547 No, I've been disillusioned for a long time and I think probably 70% of psychologists are shit. I've been complaining on /moe/ about how shit psychology is as a field and how horrible and corrupt the APA is for a long time.
>>450546 It's probably more than half. It's way too common.
>>450549 People really love to force others into catch-22s
FormerRei@mobile
>>450551 Yeah probably but I still feel like there's a sizable portion that are good. >>450551 Technically by leaving midway and coming back I would've made more money. But I've decided not to go back because they won't change and I don't really feel like dealing with them again if I don't have to. The commute was also like two hours.
Anno
>>450551 yeah same for physics my thesis wasn't approved because "linguistic entropy isn't a field of physics" was also told by my advisor that cryptology was a dead field for the past two decades
FormerRei@mobile
>>450553 Your advisor was a mong. Oh but the field is generally referred to as cryptography. Unless cryptology is a distinct thing I'm unfamiliar with.
>>450548 Women can be good bosses though, they just have to be direct. Women are just more likely to be indirect and conflict adverse, which is not a good trait for a boss.
Anno
>>450554 cryptography is more of the practice cryptology is more of the generalizations >>450555 i dunno i disagree i think conflict adverse is a great trait for a boss, depending on the job i guess that trait generally costs women bosses a little more of their time but get to find meeting points of disagreements instead of forceful exertion, which tends to be better for the company presuming competent parties women appreciate homogenous flow a little bit more when in charge, in my experience
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>2500 points pfft I'm a jerk
Kirara 🚗
>>450555 I don't know. It's too early to say. If this problem clears up and I'm allowed to move on, I'll at least keep with it until I get my Master's. But maybe I'll just ghost the program. It wouldn't be that hard for me to just ghost it and leave this life behind.
>>450553 I wish people would at least try to listen people are so closed minded

so why do I have fever now and yesterday, but not on the wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday and sunday? like fucking gimme that self boiling self healing self damaging shit so I don't have to sit 5 days sounding like a bad loui armstrong imitator
Yuu
>>450558 Ghosting it probably isn't a good idea. You need a career and stuff.
Kirara 🚗
>>450560 I don't really need a career. I can live as a nomad.
Yuu
Well I don't really know if that's a good walk in life. You need to plan for the future. you need to be able to support yourself.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>450561 Well maybe atleast fully try the society thing out with a carreer before ditching it afterall after ditching it, it is quite hard to go back while ditching it is always quite easy
Kirara 🚗
>>450562 I can live as a nomad and then die when I can't do it anymore.
Yuu
>>450564 That is the opposite to planning for the future.
>>450567 I have enough money to live out of my car as a nomad for a few years, probably. Probably a lot longer than a few years if I only move on when I have to.
Maria
Can you even live as a nomad these days
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>450567 Kinda Depends onw hat kinda nomad you mean if you just mean "not owning a home and not having stable job" then yeah it is doable or a literal old type nomad and that too is doable, but kinda have to be born into it nowadays
it must be nice to be in love with the most popular characters
Anno
It must be nice to be in love.
Kirara 🚗
yeah it is
ToN
Im gonna toss orbs and enjoy nice things hopefully
Yuu
I mean doing evil Robin dragon right after evil Robin dragon is weird. but that's okay I will roll for this one.
Kirara 🚗
isn't your theory that next month is veronica?
Yuu
Yeah, I think she'll be soon. I hope I don't have to spend all my orbs for Robin.
She seems to have a fairly bad base kit. She looks like she'll be a little bit of a skill sink.
ToN
>bad base kit are you fukin >iotes with def res strike >triangle negate to avoid ravens >res smoke to weaken her targets
ToN
the only thing she could pissibly remain weak to is falchoon because i dont know if triangle negate stops it
Yuu
You'll want a different B on her, especially if she is low speed. I don't think the A is that good either, I'd prefer distant counter. I may feed my valentine's hector to her.
>>450604 hmm is it built in? I guess evil male robin has it. Still, you may want a different A.
Anno
Love me love me say that you love me Fool me fool me go on and fool me
ToN
>>450602 rika she has distant counter vuilt in to her weapon
ToN
its literally man grima robins weapon expiration
ToN
why would you want to remove her ability to not get owned by bows
Yuu
Oh, it's if foe initiates. I guess that's okay.
Kirara 🚗
that A skill is really good
she's also a flying unit and not an armor unit so her speed will most likely be decent
i hope you can make a really good +6 halloween sakura
Yuu
I already have two of those so it's more likely than you think.
Kirara 🚗
oh nice, +8 then that'd actually be pretty good
ToN
getting some lyns would be dope i can swift sparrow and atk smoke some fools
Yuu
+8 halloween sakura would actually be a good unit
Kirara 🚗
yeah that's what i just said
Yuu
Well let's hope I have good luck.
Kirara 🚗
back when myrrh came out i spent 400 orbs for her and got one myyrh
ToN
much like rika i have 40... orbs
Yuu
I really wasn't too far off in thinking that the colorless dragon would be a legendary Corrin. I just got the protagonist and the legendary element wrong.
Kirara 🚗
that's kind of far off
ToN
i mean whats the difference between corrin and robin anyway theyre both in smash
Kirara 🚗
robin is pretty interesting and corrin has no consistent characterization in any media and behaves in random ways
i mean you can argue that about just about anything if you desperately want to be right
Yuu
I could, yeah.
Kirara 🚗
i think female grima might have low attack though in the video she's only doing 33x2 damage to a bow unit
ToN
THE WALL
Kirara 🚗
she also only does 28 damage to horse chrom
Kirara 🚗
i hope her atk isn't as low as it looks she would be a good unit for my tactics team you can't fix low atk though
ToN
its ok thats clearly a buffed multi-ward cavalry horse xhrom
Yuu
>>450635 She'll also have the issue of never having color advantage.
Kirara 🚗
>>450640 are you still gonna roll for her if she's crap
ToN
[stats intensifies]
Kirara 🚗
she will probably have like 165 bst which is really good but it looks like it might all be distributed into spd, def, and res

Some girl from Quebec won one of those $1000 a week for life on her eighteenth birthday. Literally only just old enough to play the lottery and she won it. Some people have all the luck.

what the hell
Anno
>Congratulations on becoming an adult, here's a base 52,000 income for you for the rest of your life! As long as she's got a good family environment and doesn't have to start paying shit like rent right off the bat she'll pretty much never have to take a serious career.
Maria
Does the $1000 a week adjust with inflation?
Anno
I'unno I've never fucking won it. Even if it doesn't that's still enough income to build up a strong nest egg if you play it smart.
Maria
Yeah she can live off of that for a good while
Kirara 🚗
i watched that The Outsider movie on netflix that has been getting horrible reviews
Anno
Do you find the reviews had reasonable reviewings?
Kirara 🚗
A lot of the reviews criticize the movie because it's about a white guy in the Yakuza, but I dunno, I think that was fine, since him being white was part of what made the story work.
But overall, I'd say it wasn't a very good movie. The pacing was kind of poor and at the end of the movie, the white guy suddenly became such a katana master that he could slit a guy's throat with a katana that was in its sheath and return it to its sheath so quickly that I could barely see it. They didn't like, set him up as training with the katana and he only had it for a few days. The ending was really unsatisfying and the narrative didn't really flow that well. A lot of the plot points seemed pointless.
I'd give it a 6/10. It's watchable.
One of the cool things is that the Yakuza members are all played by real Japanese people. And they speak Japanese for almost the entire film with the exception of a few characters that have English but with Japanese accents.
Maria
Kirara did you see that netflix doco on the Rajneeshpuram commune Seems like the sorta thing you'd be into
>>450653 I don't think it's fair to criticize a movie on a base premise like that instead of its overall execution
>>450655 >>450656 The one I'm talking about is called Wild Wild Country. It's pretty messed up what happened. I was hoping the commune would find a way because everything started out so peachy
Anno
I watched a thing on Rajneeshpuram a short while back. Don't remember what it was but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Netflix doc.
Anno
Oh right it was a Down the Rabbit Hole piece. Thanks Moon for introducing me to that; there were some intereting stuff there.
Anno
Interesting eve.
Anno
Even even. Fuck.
Anno
>>450654 Oh yeah hearing that name I think I saw some chatter about it. The Down the Rabbit Hole piece on it showed how the cult, even back in India, was hardly a goody-goody institution though. It was pretty clear even before they moved to America that even if there were some passionate believers at the top of the management, the whole affair was at the least also a ploy to get hella material worth.
>>450653 Sou desu ne. I hadn't even heard of the movie until you mentioned it.
My brother went out to see Isle of Dogs earlier tonight. Seemed to really enjoy it; said it had some really good animation and camerawork.
poor fuckerburg was cryin crocodile tears about the controversy
people are finally realizing that by installing the Facebook app, Facebook records all their texts and calls it's so silly
Maria
If I was Zuckerberg I'd have retired by now tbh He's already a gazillionaire why even bother anymore He's already got more money than he could possibly spend
Kirara 🚗
i think he honestly thinks he can do something good for the world but didn't realize until just now that he created a horrible monster
Yuu
>>450664 Grima is definitely a legend, but not a hero! It's so weird that they did the same hero twice.
>>450667 >>450669 I don't know if a person could in good faith create what facebook has become.
Kirara 🚗
>>450670 I wouldn't believe you could if I hadn't seen moot constantly try to fix 4chan only to unknowingly make it worse nearly every time.
Anno
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Maria
>>450669 >I've already created an ungodly monster Either try to cull it or embrace it by that point
>>450675 Sell your monster to someone else on the monster mart
>>450671 I feel weird thinking that he started 4chan at 15 to talk about anime and things he couldn't say on SA and now it's turned into what it is today
Anno
legendary hero grima
Anno
>>450673 Or the more human response, run the FUCK away.
Kirara 🚗
it would probably seriously fuck up the internet if he just shut Facebook down or tried to cull it The best he could do is get a process going to reduce the info it scrapes. But I don't think he realized just how evil his monster was until the recent controversy. And now it may be too late to regain people's trust.
Anno
The vaccum -vacuum of power that would result from that would be amazing to watch though. Some times I wish we had perfect simulations just to see what it would be like if something big and important just crumbled into nothingness.
>>450671 4chan is different. It's a mess, but it's our mess. Communities change over time, and 4chan is just a thing like that.
Facebook became an orwellian nightmare that spies on like literally everyone.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>450673 I think he has already embraced his monster
Maria
>our mess I can't identify with like 90% of the userbase anymore Rika Are you gonna say that /r9k/ and /pol/ are part of your mess
>>450683 Zuckerberg is just a series of alogorithims compiling and analyzing millions of facebook messages in an attempt to emulate human behaviour
>>450686 tbh I don't blame moot for selling at the end. Running 4chan must be a nightmare and he did it for 13 years.
>>450685 >>450682 None of this contradicts the point Kirara was making, being that you can attempt to improve something whilst constantly making it worse and worse
Yuu
>>450684 No, but imagine being the creator of 4chan vs the creator of facebook.
4chan is when you walk back in on your home board and go "wow, what a mess" facebook is like walking back home in on your creation and realizing that you've created one of the most evil things in the world.
Kirara 🚗
>>450682 The process of trying to improve it and making it worse is what I'm talking about, Rika. Also moot sold us out in the end and joined an evil empire.
Yuu
>>450686 Yeah, but my point was that 4chan isn't even within the realm of facebook in terms of evil. 4chan is just fucked up.
Kirara 🚗
>>450687 it is interesting to me how bad you are at analogies and metaphors
Zuckerberg really actually looks like a less robotic version of Data from whatever Star Trek series he was in.
Kirara 🚗
zuck is uncanny valley as hell it's so weird
Yuu
>>450696 Do you agree with either of these statements:
Facebook is a legitimate source of evil in this world. oh, let me revise that
Facebook is a legitimate and substantial source of evil in this world. 4chan is a legitimate and substantial source of evil in this world.
Maria
Do you ever wonder what Zuckerberg does for fun For some reason I can't wrap my head around the idea of Zuckerberg doing something like watching a movie He just seems too robotic
Kirara 🚗
>>450704 im not going to respond to that because it's so irrelevant from the point i was making
Kirara 🚗
>>450705 he goes to diners and stuff and tries to communicate with people
Yuu
>>450707 No way. It's the same thing. It's exactly what I was saying.
Yeah, moot tried to fix 4chan and it got fucked up. Zuck created something legit evil.
It's a completely different order of magnitude.
Anno
help i cant find the moot shirl on that shirobako girl with the yellow highlight

>>450710 no, it's not the same thing you have completely misunderstood the very point i was making at such a fundamental level that the points you're making aren't even remotely related

discord is pretty accessible even like 50 year olds with little computer skill can just hop right in
Anno
i met a 62 year old man on discord today he was funny
>>450745 yeah, it's dumb you can still read old stuff on your phone for some reason i should archive that one history before steam loses it
FormerRei@mobile
Facebook is accessible too That doesn't mean I want to use it.
Yuu
>>450729 Mine is open but I haven't messed with it in awhile. I don't keep anything other than basic info there. Same with discord or any other messaging app.
No It's the Leevees You've probably never heard of them. They only had one or two albums, but they're composed of some important people from the hoboken music scene. Or wherever they're from.
