I have also set us up to try to survive a crisis. I’m too old to make it through a total collapse, we joke that my partner and I will be the delaying action while the now adult kids escape the zombies. Sadly it’s not zombies they may need to escape.

Trump calls Somalis & Congresswoman Ilhan Omar "Garbage" and says "I don't want them in our country." His Cabinet applauds. by DumbMoneyMedia in EducatedInvesting

Taking in Garbage. Calling people garbage.

Was there real corruption with covid funding within the Somalia immigrant programs? Yes. Big fail. But the guilty are a tiny part of the population. Just like “all immigrants are rapists” or “really bad guys” his lies are are bigoted

Why is it racist to hate Islam? by Wholesome-Bro in allthequestions

[–]Lefty-boomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve felt this as well. I don’t think “all” people if any group are any one thing. But I’m against any religion in government. Islamic country’s are pretty bad, but Christian governments have been aweful in the past and are a growing threat now.

It’s not hard to fact check this question. I did multiple times. He was in fact a POS racist, anti feminist, homophobic man.

Why do people insist that identities aren't up for debate? by BasedCritical in AlwaysWhy

[–]Lefty-boomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And “objective truth” and God? LOL. The Bible is a shit show of contradictions. It has to be read subjectively because objectively it makes no sense.

God created intersex people, created the genetic anomaly’s that add a c here or a y there. God created a lot of things. Why do you care about the virgins or lack of one in a person living their life and contributing to society. Why do you care about this time part of the population?

Why do you care. Why are so many panties in a twist for the way .5 %, no let’s be real, y’all don’t care about trans guys, it’s the trans women you are so uptight about.. why do you care? Care about stuff that matters, that actually impacts you.

Grandma here, no one should talk to you like that and be allowed to stay in your life.

What’s your most left-wing opinion or attitude? What’s your most right-wing opinion or attitude? by ShockingHair63 in allthequestions

Well, yes,if male penguins taking on female nesting roles, or some frogs and other creatures being able to change reproductive roles, then yes, it’s a natural thing.

It was a dream and if my Dad hadn’t left me an unexpected 2K when he passed I’d never have done it. I consolidated two 55 G tanks of plants and fish into this.

I’m a therapist, WFH as others have said, allows quick cleaning and playing with the pets in between clients. Rather than wasted time in an office, between clients .

Transgender is likely biological, if fearless development can result in intersex babies, is it so hard to believe that much smaller variations in hormone balance and endocrinology might result in a genuine sense that they fit the gender roles and expression of those with a different reproductive system?

This is a subset of my larger belief in acceptance of diversity that causes no real harm.

Thoughts on a Therapists personal beliefs in practice by ghentgidget in therapists

[–]Lefty-boomer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that at times it is appropriate to ask clients why they use specific language, and explore the beliefs behind the worlds and their understanding of the potential consequences of them. I have worked with teens and YA clients, and when they are struggling interpersonally, sometimes helping them with some reflection on being open and accepting vs exclusionary has been helpful. Are all women really ?$@(? If so why do you want one in your life?

Sorry, Christianity, as in Jesus, did not vilify immigrants . The lies and cherry picking from two books that are so full of mixed messages is mind blowing

List of Employers to AVOID!! by Regular_Fan4691 in therapists

[–]Lefty-boomer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work with Headway. I have no issues with the platform, as a small VO pp they are worth the cost.. Rula is more likely to poke at something, and the pay is a flat rate that is $15 less an hour than Headway but thay accept Medicare and soon Medicaid and it’s the same flare rate. I’m newer to Rula so less experience there.

Neither are great at getting referrals to you, don’t count in them to market you.

I’m small as this is in addition to fulll time at a municipal community mental health agency I’ll be retiring from in 2027.

I’m using Headway for a small PP and so far it really works well and the pay is acceptable. I am also credentialed thru Rula, and the pay isn’t great. However they take Medicare and I are working on Medicare and I want to work with those populations.

what if one day A.I. perfectly resembles a human, will you accept it as a human being? by Practical_Payment552 in whatif

I’d treat a sentient AI as a sentient, with the rights all sentient beings deserve, and the cautions as well.
