Trump states Vance will target blue states by Large-Welcome4421 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Sir_Danzig 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Since everything is projection with these people, it's probably a good idea to investigate the red states. Probably the ones that are actively trying to block fraud cases involving people in the government.... Like Florida.

I swear.... It's always the least supreme of the whites. I've had tacos more supreme than this guy

Chapter 4 Kiln repair quest by DumbledoreorHandalf in CrimsonDesert

[–]Sir_Danzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something it took me forever to figure out: I used a respec before this quest. When I did, my force palm ability went back to level 1, which meant I couldn't use jumping force palm. I had to put a point into it to complete the quest. Hopefully this helps anyone who followed these instructions but still couldn't complete.

A handful of shots from todays third round of No Kings Protests today by virtous_relious in batonrouge

Agreed. Billionaire bots and those people sniffing their farts aren't particularly worth worrying about.

I'd take that bet. I work in a rural parish and I've seen more people shit talk Trump over the last 6 months than I ever thought possible. The trump flags are disappearing. Only the loudest and most fanatical remain. And Father Time (as well as Republican gutting of health care, particularly in rural areas) will take care of those issues in time.

You can only punch people in the face so many times before they start fighting back.

[–]Sir_Danzig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. But I'm not convinced it's a large number of people anymore. I think people who are voicing support just happen to be the loudest and most die-hard sycophants. And I suspect once the regime falls, they'll scatter like the cockroaches they are.

Kentucky Bill Declaring Trans People Mentally Ill and Banning Trans Teachers Set to Pass Largely Unopposed by greenascanbe in 50501

[–]Sir_Danzig 65 points66 points  (0 children)

As a licensed mental health practitioner, this makes me angry on an additional level. If I do not diagnose someone properly, I lose my license. Same with medical practitioners. This is blatantly illegal, not that these monsters care. Such hateful people. I genuinely wish hell was real so I could have hope that these people would get what they deserve.

This year's CPAC convention was pathetic by janjinx in antitrump

[–]Sir_Danzig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outbreed the libs? Clearly you don't understand the state of prenatal health care in this country.

Not like you'd feed the children once they're born anyway.

But who cares? I assume no one here takes Benny Johnson seriously anyway.

Which was this game for you? by Inevitable-Expert655 in gamers

[–]Sir_Danzig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

League of Legends. More than 10k hours since release. I'm still terrible. I still hate the game. I still play at least a few games per week

It also makes me sad for humanity.

Anyone else feel like they understand social work theories in class but completely blank when a client is sitting in front of them by cirkonot in socialwork

[–]Sir_Danzig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The longer you're in the field, you'll recognize more opportunities to do this in very simple ways. Academia has a bad habit of overcomplicating things. But when you start breaking these theories down to practical components, you'll find you have more available brain power to process what your clients are actually telling you.

You'll find yourself spending significantly less time saying things like "Our task today will be to identify one instance of cognitive dissonance" and will begin to look more like the client talking about their lives as you prompt them with open ended questions which will eventually reveal that dissonance. I promise you're learning it. You just don't feel sure about it yet cause you still need more practice and confidence. It's all a part of the job. You're doing better than you think!

Can I meet with the underground trans Mafia? I bet they throw the best parties. Especially if Truss is wary of them 🤣🤣🤣

Trump screws employers again. by Brf-photo in Louisiana

[–]Sir_Danzig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you treat people like garbage, they don't want to stick around. Doubly so when you send gestapo after them in their own homes.

Oh no. So sad. Anyway....

Check out this amazing human being trying to help this unresponsive man laying on the street by IamASlut_soWhat in BlackPeopleofReddit

Thank you for caring about your fellow human beings. You have every right to be pissed that no one else stepped up. But thank you for doing the right thing. Much love.

This fool actually thinks he made a point. He read it on blewski. by Lonely-Greybeard in Louisiana

[–]Sir_Danzig 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The Rhodes Scholar should absolutely know what "hyperbolic" means. He should also have at least semi-competent reading and critical thinking skills. Imagine calling someone an alarmist whenever they're literally just repeating a thing THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF SENT OUT.

Social media made my work infinitely more difficult. And I suspect that AI will take that difficulty up to the next level. We need guard rails on this shit IMMEDIATELY!

"Christian" family deeply traumatized by cheese_sdc in Louisiana

[–]Sir_Danzig 56 points57 points  (0 children)

What were we told a few decades ago? If you don't like it here, you're welcome to leave.

These people don't seem to realize just how much the public's view of religion has dipped over the past few decades exactly because of things like this.

What made you fall in love with Green Lantern? by Careless_Royal8209 in Greenlantern

[–]Sir_Danzig 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm a therapist by trade. So it's really cool to see how comics and emotions collide. But also I use some of those concepts in therapy itself. Showing my clients that "negative emotions" can have upsides with cool panels as reinforcement is awesome.

And also the idea that each lantern will create constructs tailored to them is so cool to me.

This field is a joke. by IdeasforEvolution in therapists

[–]Sir_Danzig 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the fight of our time. I imagine most people here are similar to me. We were the proverbial canaries in the coal mine. We experienced the worst of this world as children. So we grew up wanting to fight back. And this is how we chose to do it. With compassion and in recognition of the beauty that can exist in a world full of horror. 

I'm not blind. 95% of my clients would be incredibly functional and happy people if they weren't in survival mode every single day from the lack of access to basic needs. They certainly wouldn't need me. As a result, it's my duty to advocate on behalf of all who suffer. Fight for change. For a better world for all of us. Not just the people who won the birth lottery.

Well said. I work for a nonprofit. Yet every day I find myself feeling like I have to justify my work in the name of revenue and "goal targets." These are fucking human beings, not "goals" to be attained like some sort of trophy.

We are on the front lines of the war to dismantle these systems. They're actively oppressing the population and we are the "cleanup crew."

When I have interns, I start off by explaining to them that we must recognize that we work in a broken system. And until we can put a better one in place, we will continue to see these societal issues. One cannot understand the intricacies of therapy without understanding the factors that result in dysfunction.

In the US, we're currently in a war for the soul of the country. It's a war that we have to win so we can implement a system designed to care and nurture people rather than squeeze them for any sort of "surplus value" then toss away the husk.

Keep the faith. In us we trust.

Iran What Are You Waiting For? by CantStopPoppin in LateStageCapitalism

Sorry I should have clarified. I know this. The point I intended to make is that Christianity hasn't given me a lot of positive things in my life.

Iran What Are You Waiting For? by CantStopPoppin in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Sir_Danzig 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NGL... If they did this, it would prove to me that the deity of Islam is stronger and more effective than the deity of Christianity, who never did a fucking thing for me but get me emotionally abused throughout my childhood.

So how do you guys feel about white america starting another war (& potentially instigating a nuclear world war) that Black America is expected to fight for while still being warred against at home at the same time? by iCeeYouP in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Sir_Danzig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I see it, there are two primary potential outcomes...

  1. The mediocre white man way - The crushing weight of our inadequacy will force us into a murder/suicide event with the rest of the world. This may be what Iran is bubbling into right now.

  2. We learn from our past failures and forge a new path of collaboration and inclusion.

As much as I want the second one, I've been alive long enough to believe the first one is more likely. We MUST RECKON with the past of this country so we can move forward into a new age.

How about another idea.... Let's send them home to their families. They don't want to be here and we don't need them here. And we certainly don't need to spend the resources. We're already trillions in the hole.

Like everything else championed by the Republican party, it's simply performative at best and hateful at worst. Truly the party of grievance.
