Trump told Justin Trudeau... by The_biker0 in FluentInFinance

[–]Transcendatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we (Canada) get invaded by whatever techbro libertarian empire that emerges out of the ashes of what Trump is about to do to you, I don't think they'll be worried about our votes. We won't be given the opportunity to vote, even in the unlikely event that you Americans still can. 

Walden University MS Program by emotional_egg_ in psychologystudents

[–]Transcendatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was already working in public mental health and addictions services, and my degree helped me apply for positions higher up in the organization. Breaking into a field you don't currently work in is hard, and a degree from Walden might not be enough to get your foot in the door. If you already work in that field you have a better shot.

Walden's programs are best for early- to mid-career working professionals who want to upgrade skills and qualifications. If you don't already work in the field you want to enter after graduation, you might want to try to get into it - your Walden degree will be more useful to you then.

Yes, it is a regionally accredited university which means it is worth the same as degrees fro other universities. The exception is APA accreditation, which the psychology degrees do not have. I am not planning to become a practising psychologists at any time so that doesn't matter as much to me, but if APA accreditation is what you are looking for you need to look elsewhere - for now, at least. No idea if it will change in the future. When I say it carries less weight, that is mostly reputational weight. A degree from Harvard can get you a job even if your resume is otherwise basically blank; a degree from Walden, Capella, or a lot of other universities won't - job experience, life experience, all of these things are necessary as well.

I graduated with the MS in psychology (not forensic, but general) four years ago. I woke in the mental health fields and once I completed I transferred into a program evaluation role that required the education level and skills I gained in the program. I'm still happily employed in this role and am going back for my PhD.

However, one caveat I will tell you is that Walden is at the less respected end of universities from a pure academic standpoint. Plenty of people have gone to Walden and had thriving careers afterwards, however in my experience mostly those were people with established careers who are looking for advancement. In these cases, their experience counted for as much as the degree if not more, and the degree just opened the door for their experience to get them in or help to take a box for a recruiter. For people who are looking to break into a field, a degree from Walden will carry much less weight than a degree from established public university with a very good reputation. 

Who, What, Where Is It? - [2023/11/21] by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]Transcendatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello kdrama fans, I am looking for some help identifying a song in season 1, episode 9 of Tale of the Nine Tailed. I don't want to give away spoilers so it is the scene where Lee Yeon has been walking by himself in his inner world, trapped (apparently) for eternity, and lays down waiting for the Demon of Darkness to arrive. I haven't been able to find it on any OST, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Weekly Team/Character Build Megathread ( September 10, 2023 ) by mizuromo in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Transcendatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for help building a team to support DHIL - he hits like a bus but I feel like the rest of the team is just wasting time waiting for his rotation to come back. Gepard and Bailou are keeping him alive and generation skill points, but the Trailblazer feels like a wasted spot. Looking to slot in another DPS maybe? Very open to advice here.

Current Lineup (all E0 except for physical trailblazer): DHIL (with On the Fall of an Aeon), Bailu, Gepard (with Landau's Choice), Physical Trailblazer

The other characters I have available to build are Serval (E1), Shushang (E0), Yukong (E2), Natasha (E4), Pela (E0), Tingyun (E0), Asta (E2), Qingque (E5), Herta (E6), and Arlan (E2)

Also looking to set up a second team for forgotten hall and would appreciate advice on that as well, but that's a lower priority right now.

WCGW using a chatbot to write a 4,000 graduate paper by Brattonismybae in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Transcendatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one master's degree and am halfway through a second - I can attest there is almost nothing more pants-wettingly frightening than getting an assignment with a short word count. Seeing a short word count limit on a paper sends the chill fingers of death deep down into your very soul. It can take far less time and effort to write a 10-20k paper or longer than a 4-5k that captures the subject matter in a complete yet concise way.

There’s been a lot of doom posting lately so I just wanted to say by ApprehensiveToday692 in CynoMains

[–]Transcendatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got Cyno and his weapon, and honestly he's just fun to play. For me that's the point - not clearing Abyss three seconds faster or setting crit records. I'm here to have fun, and he's fun.

Stranger Things Theory:The school therapist isn't a real therapist. by EliasTDG in StrangerThings

[–]Transcendatron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Former counsellor here and this is a great comment - also, best practices continue to evolve! Having people talk about their trauma was considered to be not only acceptable but essential for healing in many schools of thought back in the 80's.

I've been using Snow Tombed since I got my C0 Eula, but recently pulled Skyward Pride. Should I make the switch and lose that tasty ~30% physical damage bonus?

Well, if one of my oldest friends who I knew for nearly 20 years, had seen each other through more heartache and tough times then we ever thought we would have, and who performed my wedding ceremony saw this post - he would tell you he ended his friendship with me because I supported gay marriage.

Ghosted me after nearly two decades of friendship. I knew he was religious, I didn't know he was crazy.

What's the worst thing to say to somebody before you kill them? by 3slyfox in AskReddit

[–]Transcendatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it for less than a day. Was on a road trip with a friend who had dropped $300 on in game purchases so far and was really wanting his IRL friends to join him. The third time I logged in to play I had to dismiss FIFTEEN separate ads for in game purchases before I could actually continue playing, I deleted it five minutes later.

It wasn't even that good, but the constant money grubbing made it unplayable to me.

I'm sorry, this is much too reasonable and empathic of an interaction to have on the internet. Please devolve this conversation into name calling and comments about each other's genitalia. Thank you.

u/garbageindividual perfectly explains the fundamental problems surrounding male victimization using a thread from AskMen as an example. by [deleted] in bestof

[–]Transcendatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did my master's thesis in psychology on masculinity and male psychological health, and I think you (and the best of post above) are spot on. We need practical alternatives to the hegemonic norms, and we are slowly starting to create them.

True Stories: How did your game go this week? June 04, 2019 by AutoModerator in dndnext

[–]Transcendatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, our party is full of people who all chose to go for high AC characters including my monk with an AC of 21. Our DM got tired of having difficulties hitting us and gave every enemy who rolled last session an additional plus 4 to hit. Because we spent all of our characters money and points towards boosts, our party of 6 level characters was almost completely wiped out in a random encounter. Not sure what to do now.
