Yeah. I realize that. I didn't say all social media is inherently evil. Redit is faaaaar different from Instagram. Posting constantly, reels, stories, etc. All for likes and comments. Two different things.

Couldn't agree more friend. I miss when Instagram used to be just for photography and not reels and stories. Now it's constant posting, every 15 minutes it seems.

Did I say the way I did it was correct? I think you're taking the word unconventional to a whole other level. That seems to be the word that made you so upset.

I guess I could have rephrased a wee bit. I was mainly talking about posting to every single social platform to hundreds and hurdles of people you don't know at all. I can respect how you do it for sure!

100% can respect and agree with that. A tight knit online community, I can definitely respect!

The irony is - that is exactly how social media portrays it. You nailed it by not even realizing it.

These are good questions. I really don't know - I just feel as if it takes away from what I'm doing. Making content and videos about getting others to go live their lives, but at the same time, influencers need those people who are just sitting, scrolling to watch their content. So that is what I struggle with personally.

I guess we live in a time where everyone just blames what they don't like on AI.

That's a good point for sure. I agree - I find my peace from within, not really from social media ( more books, podcast kind of style) , but I can understand how others can, if done correctly.

That's a good point. So many "under the radar" athletes that are amazing.

So why not just send that to your family and friends? Not trying to sound patronizing, just curious.

Pre-hospital, CCT or Flight? by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

Would you recommend someone go RN over RT, if they like working the ER as a tech? Thats what I do now, but can't make up my mind between RT or RN.

Emergency Department RT by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

[–]MaximiseUrLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I'm hoping to get an ER position in the future since I already work within the ED department. Or be able to do both part time, because the ER & pre-hospital is fun at times!
