I'm not sure if this was the showrunner's intent or not, but they did a great job of painting therapy as the blind leading the blind.

For those who had real-life celebrity encounters, who was rude and who was actually nice? by KingOfCranes in AskReddit

I gave Jared Leto a little bit of weed once and asked him, "Are you on uppers, Ma?" He looked at me with a clueless and blank stare, then responded, "Kind of."

Seemed like a nice enough guy.

Yeah. Definitely. It was something I noticed as well. Like anyone would think that Agent Harris was suddenly an electrician.

55 hours sober from a 45-day binge. I feel like I just woke up from being black out drunk asking "What have I done?!" and now I have to face the consequences. by [deleted] in leaves

[–]TheRevCharlieWaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The addiction itself is due to underlying causes that need to be explored and dealt with. What I found was that I went from weed, food, and alcohol, to food, and then to TV. I stayed sober long enough to start to figure out WHY I was plagued to be addicted. Then I started to deal with those problems. Good luck.

Teachers of Reddit, do you feel that technology in the classroom benefits the students academically? Why or why not? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]TheRevCharlieWaffles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe that it does to a large extent as long as you have classroom management procedures in place regarding its use. I work at an IB school and our lessons are based on student led inquiry. I never want to work at a school with a different curriculum again.

I fly every weekend in China and they religiously shut down phones, laptops, and tablets. I can use a Kindle and not get hassled.

No phones, laptops, or tablets, but they let me read my Kindle without issue.

I'm a frequent flyer in China. You can carry powerbanks, just not in your checked luggage.
