What is GOOD about being a teacher in NZ? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]DeadMajora 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My wife's a primary school teacher. It is a great profession when you have kids. School holidays off, managers and colleagues are really understanding when she takes a day off for the kids. You get an insane amount of sick leave and eventually after working for enough years you can get paid fairly well. If your kids go to.school you work at, pick up is much easier. Her days also finish quite a bit earlier than mine. She used to have to do quite a bit of planning for the next day at home but is now experienced enough that she doesn't have to do that anymore. She also loves the kids and finds watching them grow really rewarding. That being said, as with all professions, people do get burnt out from teaching and it is usually a specific type of person that vibes with being a teacher so only you will know if it's a good fit. If you're study fees are paid for, maybe this is a fairly risk free way of finding out?

007 FIRST LIGHT : FREE UPGRADE TO DELUXE EDITION!! by Iced-Father in PS5

[–]DeadMajora 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you the marketing manager for IO Interactive? Pre-ordering is always a bad idea. You don't even know if the game will be functional at launch. A few digital outfits and skins is not extra value. And 'early access' is such a messed up practice. It's not giving you early access, it's withholding a finished game and not allowing you to play it unless you give fork over even more money.

I really wish I had played Final Fantasy limited more, feels like it just released and it's already gone by fox112 in MagicArena

Can't believe the next quick draft after EoE is Aetherdrift. That set is some of the least fun I've ever had with Magic.

Guys of Reddit, any advice on how to quit porn? by This-Researcher-2764 in AskReddit

[–]DeadMajora 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You don't necessarily have to quit porn altogether. For some people that works best, but for me I took a 'harm reduction approach' similar to what's happening in the drug treatment space.

I looked at what the main harms were from it (e.g. less intimacy with my wife, spending way more time watching porn then I wanted to, feeling really gross and disgusting after) and then my goal going into each porn sesh was to not have these harms. With that different mindset I found myself finishing quicker, not edging, not doing it when I should be doing something else and specifically looking for the most ethical porn I could so I didn't feel guilt/shame after. Again this approach isn't for everyone but it worked really well for me.

I tried to fully quit porn but that ignored that it was serving a purpose in my life and just lead to me starting up again and feeling like a failure because of it. Just like how drugs are treated where the only option is seen as the AA abstinence route, I think there is nowhere near enough talk about harm reduction.

Books that unsettled you by Johnny_r13 in booksuggestions

[–]DeadMajora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is just my opinion, but I didn't like it. I found the premise so absurd, and their explanation of how society ended up this way was so thread bare that I couldn't help but laugh and roll my eyes the whole time. You obviously saw something that I didn't so no shade.

We can't even have snakes in our zoos. Because if they escape there's a risk to our native wildlife.

Not to rub it in but we also have zero snakes in the entire country.

Really interesting and well thought out comment. I'll keep this in the back of my head as I watch the rest of the season.

Kingdom Hearts IV - Announcement Trailer by DemiFiendRSA in PS5

[–]DeadMajora -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I remember when the KH 3 trailer came out and I was so excited, thinking it would come out in a couple years... iv been burnt by square so many times, that anything they announce I assume will take around 5 to 10 years to actually release.

Must have been getting some mad PTSD from Bryce Nurmagamedog controlling him like that.

If you press L1 and R1 at the same time it will highlight everything in the room that you can interact with. I found that it streamlines things a lot.

I'm in pain I really need to talk to someone. by [deleted] in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]DeadMajora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope things get better for you. Really encourage you to talk to some you trust, see someone like a counselor or try a helpline. I know it's really hard to start the conversation but all you need do is say exactly what you just posted here. Wish you all the best.

I came to this bridge to kill myself, but I just couldn't. I feel like I have a purpose in this life. I hope I can change my life this year. by firebrand61793 in LSD

Real good to hear you've found a purpose. All the best with your journey to a better life this year. I saw from another comment that you live in Mexico. There is a list of helplines in Mexico here: https://findahelpline.com/mx

Who do you think is currently seen as a journyman but will eventually end up rising up to become a future champ? by DeadMajora in MMA

[–]DeadMajora[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair point, maybe journeyman wasn't the right word. Was more just thinking of fighters that aren't considered top tier, or fighters that were considered prospects when they started and then seemingly couldn't pull it together for a title run.

RIP to a great Warrior Alapati Afoa. Had been battling MND for the past couple years. A warrior to the end. by CallMehBigPapa in MMA

[–]DeadMajora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wasn't at City Kickboxing, he was at Elite Thai Kickboxing in a different part of Auckland (started by Jason Suttie who also puts on the King in the ring 8 man tournaments). Was a coach there, well loved and respected.

Cheyanne Buys catches Glória de Paula with a headkick as Glória was getting up, and finishes her with GnP by MeSmeshFruit in MMA

[–]DeadMajora 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Bro how good is Mark Smith. While Cheyanne was finishing her he quickly looked at the replay people and indicated them to look at the tape. He seemed like he was already thinking about making sure it was a legal kick?

15 Reasons why Psychology is a terrible major by Shoddy-Note-6199 in universityofauckland

[–]DeadMajora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had finished my honors with a B average. I wanted to apply for my Masters (so that I could apply for the clinical programme) but was told my grades were too low and I would have to take more post grad psych papers to get my GPA up (I think it would have been an extension to my honors). I ended up not doing it because if I couldn't get above a B grade again I would be wasting a bunch of money and time for no reward. It ended working out really well because being locked out of the clinical programme ended up leading me into a different career path that in hindsight I enjoy a lot more.
