I did it, I got that job I applied for two weeks ago.
>>669908 Okay, so basically, there are three forces. First, there's God. God doesn't want to be called God, though. He just wants to be called Father because He doesn't want us to worship Him. Second, there are angels, and those are divided into two categories, normal angels who do all the normal angel things, and then there are Tempters. Tempters are angels like Satan. Satan was sent to rule over Damnation (hell and damnation are different places, hell is actually where we live and it's where we learn the lessons that make us worthy to go to heaven AS EVIDENCED BY the phrase "you have to go through hell to get to heaven" which is reportedly a very common phrase). Third and finally, there are the forces of evil. The forces of evil are the things that hate humans. I'm not sure if there are forces of evil other than aliens? but the main ones he seems concerned with are aliens. Aliens hate humans because humans are mean to each other, so the aliens are always trying to fuck with us. He's got a google drive full of pictures and videos of them (i'm going to ask if i can see them next week) and they're all transparent, the aliens are.
God and His angels are fighting the aliens to protect us because God is our Father and Fathers protect their kids (the client was referred here because he was depressed about his children being taken away by DCF lol)

>>669912 The more I hear of legitimately psychotic people the more I wonder if all successful fantasy authors are also legitimately psychotic people that have just directed their insanity into productive means.
also this part doesn't really need that much elaboration so i'll just post the brief note i made earlier >Client started hearing voices around 7 years ago when his grandmother got dementia. He said it is because there is a chip in his head. The chip was put in his head so he could be monitored as to whether or not his grandmother told him any secrets while she had dementia. He overhears the organization talking to each other sometimes because of the chip, which is why they want him to take medication, but he thinks they should just stop talking so he doesn't have to hear them. It's unclear whether the organization or the CIA put the chip in his head.
context: he reported his grandmother was a super top secret quality assurance person for the navy during WWII and had tons of high level secrets certainly plausible but i don't have confirmation and given his delusional status it's hard to trust it
Anyway, I upgraded him from delusional disorder percusatory type to schizophrenia today because now I know he hears voices which means he meets criterion A for schizophrenia
FormerRei@mobile
>>669916 Which type of schizophrenia? (also I fucking guessed it was schizophrenia)
I thought it could be schizophrenia, but I can't diagnose it until he meets the criteria for it, and I didn't have evidence to support that he did until now!
>>669917 There aren't types of schizophrenia anymore. Now the only specifiers are stuff like first episode, multiple episodes, acute, and continuous? I think off the top of my head. There's also specifiers for in remission and severity specifier, but you don't need the severity specifier so I didn't check that out yet (it;s not in the pocket DSM that i carry with me at work)
Medicaid still uses a lot of DMS IV stuff, so I'm not surprised it's still taught sometimes. Medicaid makes me use the axis stuff sometimes, and they even make me specify GAF scores even though the GAF is ridiculous and ambiguous.
It would definitely be paranoid type if I were going by DSM-IV criteria.
FormerRei@mobile
>>669922 You get in contact with the people you need to to get him in a higher level of care yet?
No. My supervisor and I have both left messages for them but they haven't gotten back to us over the past two weeks.
My supervisor says it's okay to continue seeing him because he feels he's benefiting from talking to me even though we can't actually work on the goals he was referred to us to work on. He told me today that he wants to continue coming even after he's finished his mandated number of sessions.
>>669925 don't worry, actual satan isn't an alien just the being that people usually think is satan (like satanists and voodooers) is actually an alien

>>669952 Yeah but think about all that discount post easter chocolate
>>669955 (as an aside, i'm a psychologist, not a psychiatrist) I wouldn't really get in trouble. Challenging people's delusions is really the only way to deal with them, although you usually need them on medication for it to actually work. But more importantly, I wouldn't suggest he do it himself. If he has a chip, he should be able to have it surgically removed, right? He'll certainly have an excuse as to why he can't get rid of it. He's smart, so he's most likely considered it already.
>>669958 He definitely won't. And if he did for some reason, it wouldn't really be my fault. You really can't "give" ideas to psychotic people when it comes to stuff like this.
This is all very real to them, and he's believed he has been chipped for at least 6 or 7 years. His system of logic still works, so he's already thought about stuff like that. It's just his reality testing that doesn't work.
Anno
Duly noted.
Maria
>>669956 What if he cuts open his scalp to try and grab at the chip
Oh yeah, he's not actually upset about being chipped or anything. He's just annoyed because it allows him /// forces him to intercept conversations between organization members. The organization will leave him alone if he takes their medication (which happens to be an antipsychotic). He just doesn't want to take the medication and thinks the organization should just stop communicating the way they do if they don't want people to overhear them.
He's honestly a very reasonable person, and he might even be able to be a decent parent. But he's still pretty delusional which seems to be causing a lot of trouble in his life.

Kirara, the Baseball Mom
yeah, only the cost of printing >The first listing, titled “The Mueller Report: The Final Report of the Special Counsel into Donald Trump, Russia, and Collusion,” is available for $9.20 in paperback and includes the special counsel’s report with an introduction by lawyer and Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz. It’s already shot to the top of Amazon’s Best Seller list in the “political parties” category, despite no guarantee it’ll ever be available.
>>669967 Alan Dershowitz in amongst my top ten favorite living lawyers.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
i thought he was decent until like 2017 or 2018 whenever he started going hard on the anti-BDS stuff his arguments about criticizing israel being inherently anti-semitic are really infantile and definitely beneath what i expected from him
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
it's really gross that he helped defend weinstein too but that's kind of whatever because that's what lawyers do, it's in their nature to be kind of slimy once they get really big
well there was also the thing about he went really hard defending the use of torture too i forget when that was like 2008 or something probably? that was really gross too and stupid because we knew that torture doesn't work
>>669971 My issue with BDS is that they ignore regimes that do much worse and focus on Israel. For example, they ignore the US, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia.
Also I like Dershowitz as a lawyer, not as a person.

>>669971 I'd say at least 90% of the time anti Israel arguments are either anti-Semitic, uninformed or hypocritical.
FormerRei@mobile
Hypocritical because these people (or nations, or political parties or whatever) choose to criticize Israel and ignore human roghts abuse by other countries that are even worse.
Uninformed because these people (or whatever) don't know about the worse human rights abuse by other countries.
>>669991 yeah it's not uncommon at all for it to be anti-semitic but it's extremely dangerous to brand all opposition to israel as anti-semitic people are using that //// goyim are using that as a method of attacking people to maintain the status quo

He seemed a pretty solid guy aside from the taste in fashion though. There's another weeaboo in that class who gives me hard no social skills vibes. It's kids like these that make me feel kind of vindicated in not looking in to the anime club at the university though.

I just boarded an international @JetBlue flight. Instead of scanning my boarding pass or handing over my passport, I looked into a camera before being allowed down the jet bridge. Did facial recognition replace boarding passes, unbeknownst to me? Did I consent to this? >You're able to opt out of this procedure, MacKenzie. Sorry if this made you feel uncomfortable. Follow up question. Presumably these facial recognition scanners are matching my image to something in order to verify my identity. How does @JetBlue know what I look like? >The information is provided by the United States Department of Homeland Security from existing holdings. So to be clear, the government provided my biometric data to a privately held company? Did I consent to this? How long is my data held by @JetBlue? And even if I opt out at the scanners...you already have my information, correct? >We should clarify, these photos aren't provided to us, but are securely transmitted to the Customs and Border Protection database. JetBlue does not have direct access to the photos and doesn’t store them. Would love more info about how my image was matched to a name on the flight manifest. I looked at the camera & a few seconds later the gate opened. Was my image, in the space of those seconds, sent to CBP, run through a database, matched to a name, and then sent back to @JetBlue?
[later] "It took her photo, comparing her picture to a preloaded photo database of all the passengers with tickets on this flight.” It sounds like opting out isn’t really an option. I can not go through the scanner, but my data will have already been accessed and loaded into a database.

>>670059 Honestly, channeling my cynical shallowness here, providing you're decently attractive and sociable, you can wear whatever ridiculous anime apparel you want. ... Within SOME restrictions.

You'd also apply to that "decently attractive and sociable" category though.

>>670061 To be fair, with the modern Internet, an image in the space of seconds could be sent to CBP, run through a database, matched to a name, and then sent back to Jet Blue. I'm definitely put off with the thought of the U.S. Homeland Security keeping a photo album of presumably every citizen, regardless of how they're matching those photos to the ones taken by the flight company.

>>670067 those photos most likely are passport/we pics anyhow though
I'm put off by the idea of a picture being taken of me without my consent for that shit.
Anno
The lack of transparency is a concern too. Like there's a degree of agency involved in having to hand over boarding pass and passport, and even if you don't have a choice, you understand the transaction going on there since it's a pretty low-tech procedure. But without explanation there's a whole lot of "what ifs" involved in having your photo taken.
>>670071 you mean the database comparison pic or the pic taken by the machine? the database most likely, as I said above, is made up of driver license, id card, passport, whatever other things that require you to send a picture to the officials for
>>670074 nah, that wouldn't work. my driver's license pic is 10 years old from when i was in high school. my entire facial structure is different now. there are pictures of me more recently taken as part of background checks but i didn't give consent for those to be given to the government and they were just used to verify it was me by a private company
in that case it is curious from where the database is built out of >>670075 those might be used, but yeah without them asking for consent for that kind of usage, it shouldn't atleast on paper be legal dunno about US legislation atleast
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
there's not even a rule that says i'll ever have to get a new license pic unless i move to another state and get a new license there if i lived in florida forever, i could be 60 and my pic could be me at 16
My license is valid for life unless they forcefully change finnish law about licenses again. fuck you eu
Anno
>>670077 If you let your license expire long enough would you as well? My license expired for like a year plus since I never used it for anything but photo identification and I had to not only get a new photo, but retake the written test for it. I think my mother had to do something similar since she forgot to renew her license for way too long and was driving around for a few years with an expired one. Though in her case I don't think they had her take a new photo, so maybe the DMV can get lazy some times.
!C0.PerkELE
but I do have to get a new passport ever 5 years fuck you Eu
>>670079 yeah, probably. i had a client who didn't have a license for 20 years and he had to do the tests and get a new photo but mine was expired for 5 days before i renewed it in 2018 (thanks to me being unable to drive due to my concussion and fish being dead across the ocean) i ended up just submitting a request online and it went through like normal
if i finally go through with getting my passport i'll need a new picture for that, though
biometric passports nice to know my fingerprints are in EU database

Coming in different forms, they are invincible against any conventional weaponry, even capable of absorbing large quantities of nuclear energy into their own, until a Finnish pharmaceutical company known as Fenrir (フェンリル Fenrir) created a series of biomechanical hybrid weapons called Jinki (神機 Jinki, known as "God Arc" in the English release) that can kill the Aragami, as well as selecting those who can wield such weapons. These individuals are then called God Eater (ゴッドイーター Goddo Ītā). Various branches of Fenrir also have a sanctuary called the "Outer Ghetto", in which the rich, as well as those who yet to qualify as a God Eater and their families, resides, but due to overpopulation, the company limits the capacity of those who lives inside the Ghetto.

>>670594 "Kotaku's article is just plain racist, not understanding how a Japanese singer might have trouble with Rs and Ls, then going so far as to accuse that singer of using slurs. Rather than address this racism, the writer simply runs away. This is not journalism" lel

Kirara, the Baseball Mom
>>670630 FromSoft releases balance patches frequently or at least they did for souls they haven't really done it for Sekiro
!C0.PerkELE
but seriously I don't hear the word retarget in that song and went over lyrics for the listed lyrical songs in P5 and none of them had it on them so... wut
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
it's in >>670621 around like 1:30-2:00 somewhere in there I don't think it's retarget but it's not retarded that part isn't in the official lyrics
!C0.PerkELE
ah there hmm well I can see how they'd make that mistake, the Duuduudim hits just in between reDUUget
>>670643 Having social norms change on what is "acceptable" and what is not is okay and that doesn't actually restrict anyone, just has them fac the normal "breaking norms" consequences but the fact that some outlets jump at first sign of "breaking" that, or atleast breaking a percieved social speech norm, is kind of worrying well not that it is a new thing, but I wish it would stop finally guess it still generates clicks
!C0.PerkELE
"acceptable speech" *

the media thrives on outrage and its sole goal is to rile people up by creating fake outrage, when it comes to non-current events news
I hope they do an official Persona 5 R feature and release date announcement in a few days when they have that news thing.
Man, when they did that massive concert and announced P5D and P3D, that was so cool. Japan is the best when it comes to spectacle. The west doesn't know what they're doing when it comes to building hype.
Is getting Easter Friday off in Canada a common thing?
>>670701 A three day weekend. That's very nice. I had today off, but I usually have every other Friday off.
Anno
Or Good Friday I guess it is.
Anno
>>670703 For the most part, yeah. Shops are closed, schools are out (for both students and teachers), and my dad wasn't at work so I imagine corporate offices are either on a skeleton crew or closed too.
>>670709 Easter Monday is a partial holiday here. Stores can be open, though usually with some kind of modified holiday hours, but schools will be closed and offices will either be the same as on Good Friday or pretty lenient with giving it as a holiday.
We don't have many actual holidays in the US. I think there are only 10 federal holidays. But most places are open on those holidays anyway, so people still have to work.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
In fact, those holidays are when many people in retail have to work the hardest.
Anno
There's a federal or provincial holiday guaranteeing a three-day weekend at least pretty much every month. A decade or so back they even invented one, Family Day, so that February would actually get a holiday.
Not all of them will be retail holidays too but a fair chunk will be.
>>670711 HEre most places are closed, but nowadays stores, essentials and stuff liek that run 24/365 embrace the modern no-god society
ofc anyone working right now gets full sunday bonuses, so there is a huge PROFIT carrot to get the necessary manpower to work, without actually havign to force anyone who wants to just have the holidays there.
People outside the United States always have days where they say, "oh, the shop is closed today" or "I have to stock up because the shop is closed tomorrow." But there aren't any days in the United States where the shops are closed. There used to be, when I was really young. Thanksgiving and Christmas, nobody had to work. I think those were the only days. But now, people are working on both of those days. Some stores are closed on Thanksgiving until 5:00 pm. Some stores close early on Christmas Eve, but they still have people come in on Christmas. Sometimes Christmas hours start in the afternoon. It's a really sorry situation.
It used to be that you had to be given time and a half, at minimum, if you had to work on a federal or state holiday. But two years ago, they passed a law saying it's no longer necessary. Instead, you can give people paid time off hours. However, those hours usually expire, which can cause a lot of trouble for people.
It would be good for places to close here. I'm sure in the next few years, there won't be very much time in which things are closed. It shouldn't be a problem if things are closed. People can plan ahead if they know. But doing that would get in the way of the rich's greed, so we can't be allowed that time off.
Anno
Christmas Day is generally a total day off but some exceptions arise. Notably movie theatres will often be open to some degree on Christmas.
>>670720 Here since the carrot is increased pay for normal hours there are people willing to work on holidays, who can then take their vacation on other days and whatnot or just want the extra income from the overtime + vacation hours
I for one don't miss the dead days easter and christmas used to be
>>670723 If those days are work days, someone will have to work. If nobody wants to give up their holiday, someone will be forced to. I don't think that's right.
Anno
I don't think there's something fundamentally wrong with businesses being free to always be open. But there's no way to actually ensure that option is in the control of the workers and not the people who own the businesses, which means there will almost inevitably be a conflict of interest. So legally mandating holidays is the next best thing for the workers.
>>670725 Someone might get forced, but usually say there are enough people working in the company, there are some who are willing to do it, rather than forced to Nonetheless the extra pay is a valid compensation even if you end up forced.
ToN
>>670727 i eat cooked carrots if you cook them with brown sugar it’s great
If I am not mistaken, no CBA? allows forcing people to work during holidays etc. ofc what is on the paper and what actually happens are two different things
You can't say fire someone for disobeying a suggestion to work say today but you can bet that guy's name is ontop of "when I need to lay off people" list
Anno
>>670729 Throw them in a bakeware pan and drizzle them with olive oil and let them roast in the oven for a bit. A bit healthier than brown sugar.
ToN
>>670731 i havent had brown sugar carrots in the longest time but that sounds pretty dope too
Anno
>I eat cooked carrots >I haven't had brown sugar carrots in the longest time HAVE you actually eaten carrots recently then?
throw them with meat and onions, season with salt pepper and bay leaves and whatever tsuits your palate and roast in oven in 150-200c for 3-6 hours and enjoy with potatoes
ToN
>>670733 i get the glazed carrots or so from the cafeteria yeah i imagine they’re like the ones you described
I think it's also unfair if multiple people want to work on the holiday. The system itself forces them into the position where they need money, and then they have to fight for a chance to get a little bit more money. Holidays should just be paid days off. The workers deserve that much at the very least.
Anno
>>670734 Or if you're doing some other kind of meat or don't want meat, just the carrots, onions, and potatoes in that pan roast is also great. It makes a great side for whatever meal you're making.
>>670736 This is the fun situation where your comparison point is your work environment and the USA work laws and mine are the finnish ones which are day and night separate
I don't think the system is unfair, because it isn't unfair here as long as it is maintained with vigil and some extranational bodies aren't fucking it with regulations
I don't think anything is universal. Different places should have different laws because there are different circumstances. When I talk about this stuff, I just mean that's how it should be here.
You say holidays shouls be paid days off, but that would mean there are no services during them what do people then do during holidays if no one is working?
sure you can easily invent stuff to do, but most stuff that people would normally want to do on their off hours, would be off limits >I am on holiday so I want to see a movie >oh all theatres are closed welp
I don't think it's a problem if there aren't any services like that on a holiday. It's true that people won't be able to go to the movies, and some people might be annoyed by that, but if the people at the movies were working, the person who wants to go to the movies would also be working, so they wouldn't be able to see a movie regardless. I think it's better for people to have the time off and have a limited amount of choices than it is for people to not have the time off and have no choices.
Have you ever experienced "oh no food because I was away and it is good friday?" I had to pay 50€ for like 10€ groceries in a kiosk to survive untill monday
Whatever job wants to offer its services, should have the possibility to do it, if they can manage the manpower without forcing them to work with "work or fired", be it direct or indirect social pressure threat
but seriously people owning businesses working for themselves WORK during holidays, say small cafe keepers etc because it is profitable most people who run the basic office jobs or whatever AREN*T working and want to then do something and spend their money money that will be used on your services
>>670749 Here is a fun fact "vacation money" a sum offered to finns during year/summer vacation, that can be also exchanged for an extera number of vacation days usually 5-10 days more
practice that started after finns taking 1+ month vacations in say tropics and deciding it wasn't worth returning back to finland and their 8-17 jobs so, companies began paying you some extra money provided you RETURNED from your vacation as a carrot to keep their human resources.
>>670752 Such a thing wouldn't work here outside of extremely specialized fields. Nearly any worker can be replaced at any time by any number of people, so there's no incentive to keep anyone around.
Yeah such is 200-300M population compared to 4-5M but then again finland is a high tech industry/service nation compared to USA's quite dominating basic industry
our only basic industries are metals and forestry nowadays
most our shit is high tech stuff or high tech services
!C0.PerkELE
And despite having good education system and lots of people to pick from for the companies, skilled labour is still a valuable resource
But european nations are bad comparison to any other region country in the end the culture here is just so monolithic for ages that formed quite unique socities that can work quite uniquely
Even like Russia which is in size and natural wealth comparable to USA, though not in actual wealth and population especially, is very different culturally from the western Union
!C0.PerkELE
USA is quite an unique country in the world in the end
Anno
Every country is pretty unique when looked at it in the right perspective.
YEah but usa is unique however you put it there isn't any country like them in the end
take any of the nordics and they share quite many cultural similiarities, say in work ethnics or social ethnics, that have formed up the countries they are nowadays ie the nordic model despite having quite different histories, unique identities and so on for most african countries, you can trace some of their structure to say colonialism
but usa kinda formed uniquely in an unique environment being a headstart new world colony that gained independence and then was allowed to freely expand, ofc with a quite tragick cost to the native population, but nonetheless
comparable here is Russia's siberian expansion, but russia had never been a colony and was already culturalyl united by that time mostly while USA has from the start been a melting pot of many european cultures and later others too
Most countries we know either hail from the Kingdom era, where strong rules enforced their will on a populace and region, untill it became natural for them to think of being part of said collective and thus a "national identity" of some sort was born ie. england, china, and so on Hell with china the country got taken over by foreign invaders, but still remained chinese the invaders were the ones who got integrated itno the country rather than country being integrated into the invading force
and then the newer ones, born with rise of ideas like nationalism and such, when people decide based on a shared identity or idea, that they should govern themselves
Hmm, netherlands in a way is a similiar case as USA, though on a smaller scale and that the populace that revolted against the distant crown, had been living in the place for ages instead of decades to a century
Well that random tangent aside I still say that people should be able to decide do they want to work on holidays or not As in it would be weird to have say one man companies be forced to shut down on days, even if they personally want to work then. Of course, there need to be protections in place preventing companies from abusing their workers, of course you can never remove the "hey perks, you are free on this sunday right, mind if you take the shift then?" kind of pressure kinda hard to refuse the person paying and employing you afterall, unless you have a good reason and know you can't be easily replaced
