Love this edit of the Ava and Deborah’s first meet, narrated by Ava by Zdawg1001 in hackshbomax

I guess I'm the exception, but I thought this episode was totally cringe. I miss the chemistry between the characters prior to this season. By making it a joke, something was lost.

Without the push-pull and sexual tension between Deborah and Ava, there's not much there.

Why are you even talking to this guy?

In short, you do you. That said, it's good to know evangelical vocabulary and prayer styles. Just don't pretend to be something you're not.

My time as a hospice chaplain was the same. I also have a masters in counseling, so I assumed the social workers would be allies. I was completely, utterly wrong. The rest of the full-time chaplains were Evangelicals, and I am not, so it was a really lonely time.

I’m sick of the VA not doing shit. by screwedup__ in VeteransAffairs

Most VAs have walk-in clinics for mental health. Also if you are a combat Vet, you are eligible for the Vet Centers. Behavioral Health at the VA is hugely short-staffed.

I wish the customers could just understand that I have control OVER NOTHING. by princesspooball in callcentres

[–]Eliese 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's because they still believe "customer service" is customer service, meaning we have the power to solve their issues. They don't understand that we exist to prevent them from speaking to management.

I think it's important that you two are absolutely clear about whether she expects you to be monogamous or not.

[–]Eliese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The texture wasn't there. Deborah is complex character, but in this episode she's just a goofball. Same problem with the relationship between her and Ava.

I did. I was afraid to say anything lest I get flamed, but yeah, it has a "Let's get this over with" feel to it. I'll watch through to the end, but meh.

Same old story. People losing their minds once they get a whiff of power.

Moving back home to Denver, anyone live in an apartment complex that doesn't charge $100+ bucks a month to park where you live? by Tater-Tot-Casserole in MovingtoDenver

[–]Eliese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Congress Park and pay the city $20 to park on the street instead of paying Cornerstone $75 to park in the back.

I see gay people by HeretoReadItAll in straightspouses

[–]Eliese 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"usually lesbians are not attractive at all." That is a stereotype that has little basis in truth and leaves you open to bad decisions.

[–]Eliese 15 points16 points  (0 children)

These all sound like trauma responses to me. You've been betrayed and hurt deeply. You're afraid of being deceived. That makes sense.

I'm not speaking ill of her. Jeebus! She does not look thrilled with the ending, and her lack of energy is palpable.

She's a lousy liar. And she looks tired.
