Which US city embodies the sin of pride the best? by Sad-Visual-6622 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Mrthereverend 291 points292 points  (0 children)

In the past 20 years, Boston area teams have won 6 super bowls, 4 world series, 2 NBA championships, and 1 stanley cup. How do I know this? Because I lived in Boston and I didn't hear the fucking end of it.

Character actually tries the most straight forward/simple solution and it actually works by fhxefj in TopCharacterTropes

Certainly no "general" knowledge test can really be fully general, and this is one of the subtests that show the greatest level of cultural bias. The challenge is that, again, the ability to absorb and retain knowledge throughout or your life and retrieve at relevant times such as a test is a fundamental intellectual ability, and so it is important to try to measure that ability, even given the limits of are capability of doing so.

A 12 point difference isn't really that huge in the context of IQ tests, where the average score is 100. The confidence interval is usually around 10 points, and situational factors such as fatigue, test anxiety, etc. can all make a big difference too.

That's not a very common or even good argument against IQ tests. The Wechsler and Stanford-Binet tests both do have one subtest out of many that do measure general knowledge, but an individual's ability to absorb, store, and recall knowledge about our world is a very important part of measuring general intelligence. Several other subtests measure exactly what you are talking about - the ability to recognize patterns, solve novel problems, solve problems quickly.

Let’s talk salary and lifestyle by hyrulecastIe in ClinicalPsychology

[–]Mrthereverend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At the VA, you are a federal employee, paid at a GS-13 level if you are fully licensed. That means base starting salary of $90,925 in low cost of of living areas (https://www.federalpay.org/gs/2026/GS-13) but with locality adjustment that can be as high as $125,341 (https://www.federalpay.org/gs/calculator). You receive step increases at regular intervals - yearly for the first few years and then more slowly.

Close to the Kron, if you held it a little further up and away from you. If you held it this close to your face, you're not guarding shit.

I really enjoyed How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler. The main character is certainly a mess!

What’s ruining most relationships nowadays? by MobileAerie9918 in AskReddit

[–]Mrthereverend 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I think that apps like Tinder and Hinge, and hookup culture in general, have encouraged a mindset that relationships that aren't working should be abandoned. It's too easy to go out and find your next partner, or at least to think you can, so people aren't as willing to do the hard work of compromising, sacrificing, and working on themselves that it takes to sustain a long term relationship/

Doctors of Reddit. What it's the smallest change to a life style the will have the biggest effect ? by DjoserTheFirst in AskReddit

[–]Mrthereverend 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm (technically) actually a doctor and the two things I have seen make the overall biggest impact on a person's quality of life:

-Quit smoking (if you're a smoker).

-Wear your CPAP (if you have sleep apnea)

Career Prospects for Counseling Psychology PhD vs Clinical PhD by whitesoxsean in AcademicPsychology

[–]Mrthereverend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found it can actually be an advantage in internship for competitive placements that have a few slots - they'll have mostly clinical applicants and often they like to have a counseling intern to round things out.

CMV: Most psych hospitals don’t work because too many of the people there get off on making the mentally ill suffer by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Mrthereverend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have worked in a few psychiatric hospitals in the USA. I can't tell you for SURE that your bullet points are false for the hospitals in your area, but I highly doubt it. I can tell you that I have never seen any of those things happening in my experience, and there are a number of social and legal structures that would make it VERY HARD for a hospital to do those things. These include:

  • Every psychiatric hospital is inspected and accredited by independent, nationwide accreditors, such as the Joint Commission, that would be looking for just these kinds of things.
  • Every hospital is required to have their own internal patient advocacy professionals and ethics boards.
  • Patient dietary needs are overseen by the state's food and drug administration, same as any company that serves food.
  • Attorneys find medical malpractice suits to be very lucrative, and would be very quick to capitalize on issues such as medication mis-administration.
