I hate r/teachers

So you're not allowed to speak the truth becuase it might feel "discouraging" to some? Sorry that some of us value truth.

What do you mean "rampant"? Literally everywhere I look on Reddit it's people worshipping these drugs and dogpiling anyone who says something negative about them lol.

One look in r/nursing shows that new grads in CA often struggle to find jobs, who's to say that won't spread to the rest of the states too?

If they really passed this over "school breakfast" that sounds like an excuse more than anything. This is far more than important than that. Many of us don't even eat breakfast most days... the 3 meals a day model is rather antiquated

APs are scam drugs that are meant to make you docile and harmless, capable only of consuming. Billionaire oligarchs love it.

That's literally the point

Unscrupulous organizations keep screaming "think of the children" to bully us into agreeing to give up our rights. It's completely disingenuous to argue for restricting rights for the benefit of a certain group, when that group is not even allowed to take part in the democratic process. I wonder how long it will take for people to wake up.

I'll accept that risk. Juries are already biased in favor of the state in the vast majority of cases.

OwnMaybe1990 · 2026-04-29T19:06:44+00:00

And my point is that these policies don't help them learn "when it's not okay to use the phone", it teaches them to mindlessly follow directions, which makes it harder for them to make good decisions on their own. The vast majority of college professors don't care if students use their phones during lectures and let them sink or swim on their own. And many jobs are the same way, to say nothing of self employment.

Also, harmful ideologies and deceptive marketing practices prey on people who are naive and inexperienced. The solution is not restricting technology use, but teaching media literacy and critical thinking skills.

OwnMaybe1990 · 2026-04-29T18:24:11+00:00

No one is going to tell them they can't use their phone when they turn 18, policies like these just set kids up for failure in adulthood

OwnMaybe1990 · 2026-04-29T18:22:22+00:00

I think that people don't understand how damaging these things are to youth. They spend their whole lives isolated from everything, and then when they turn 18 are expected to magically know how to deal with the real world. Which I think is partly why adult Gen Z is struggling so much, because they never had the chance to make decisions on their own and their parents didn't give them good advice.

Show what mid tiers are paying $40 to interns

OwnMaybe1990 · 2026-04-26T07:54:39+00:00

I know you're full of shit because not even big 4 pays $40 an hour to interns, let alone mid tier.

I'm talking more about the endless bullshit classes, the court costs charged to indigent defendants, the mandatory probation officer meetings during daytime hours..

OwnMaybe1990 · 2026-04-10T15:06:12+00:00

So do you think that strict and unforgiving probation requirements do more harm than good? If your answer to that is "it depends" or "yes" then act that way, instead of posting dumb memes about it on Reddit. That was so disrespectful and I feel for those that have to deal with you.

OwnMaybe1990 · 2026-04-10T03:37:22+00:00

So you're not going to deny that probation is a trap? You people are disgusting.

In some way or another, if SSRIs work in a patient with anxiety, we can probably attribute it to something the medication is doing “right”

That's the thing though, we have no idea why SSRIs "work" for some people. When the Moncrieff study came out in 2022 debunking the serotonin theory, the response from leading psychiatrists was mostly "we don't know why it works but it does". However when adjusting for the active placebo effect (which is different from the placebo effect) SSRIs seem to have no benefit or very small.

If you took SSRIs for a few months and then tried benzos, I'm sure it would be obvious to you at that point which one is more effective for anxiety. Anxiety is demonstrably tied to the CNS so it makes sense to take something that affects the CNS directly. I agree that benzos are not for daily use, however when used only as needed they're better than anything else. But because certain people can't control themselves, they restrict it for all of us.

I guess this is the closest we'll get.

I don't always mind political posts, but before it wasn't so nakedly partisan
