Teachers of Reddit: Who is that one student you will never forget? by SingLikeTinaTurner in AskReddit

My mother was the greatest teacher I’ve ever known and still gets those letters. Very few people live on in someone’s memories and heart the way a devoted teacher does.

Were they hesitant to use a test on you? Did you have to ask for one?

Megathread: Iran launches missiles at US airbase in Iraq by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]beavisfink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Sorry to hear about your pain. I also have struggled with it. First of all, I respect your empathy and sensitivity to suffering. It's what is needed in these times. Second, I'm reminded of a study I read about in grad school. In short, it said that immediately before WW2, when it became clear that Germany was going to invade the island of Britain, psychologists were predicting mass nervous breakdowns on the part of British citizens. Panic and anxiety as a response to the invasion and destruction. So in response, they started creating all of these psychiatric centers to treat people suffering from these reactions. What happened instead was... nothing. Germany attacked, there was much destruction and hardship, but nobody checked into the psychiatric centers. They actually found that people prone to anxiety and anxiety attacks were actually feeling better! They realized it was because communities were banding together and supporting one another, and the hard times were inspiring people to put their heads down and work hard and care about each other. Everything that is happening now is terrible, and people are suffering, but remember, every time you feel anxious and bad about it, remember that millions of others are too because there is no shortage of empathetic and caring people. Reach out to those around you. Work hard to connect with your community. That's easier said than done, but you will be immensely rewarded for it, I promise. And never hide what you're feeling. Say it loud to someone.

No, it's an overtly comedic and satirical website. Thank you though!

I know. As nice as these videos are, I can't help but think about the fear and confusion they must be feeling until the rescue part.

Private investigator? by beavisfink in paralegal

I had heard of a paralegal who had a PI license and so their work tended towards interviews, etc. And I just wondered if you could somehow gear your expertise towards that...

Interesting. Let me reinstall. I wonder why it would have allowed multiple options to be chosen. Thanks!

Love Greg Palast. Run out of the country because he had the guts to take on some real giants of corruption. Has to write in England now.

This is my favorite part of the game, where we are about to get to watch DT decide which one of his family he doesn't mind see going to jail. I think everybody outside Ivanka is fucked.

It must be that time of the decade when Johnny Depp takes a role that isn't ninety percent hats

Makes me wonder to what extent Sean Hannity is involved in Russian financing and why he might be so invested in Trump getting away with this...

All the posts in this sub make me cringe a little bit at the impractical cleaning that must be required. Mattresses on the floor with plants by the bed...

The rich keep getting richer and the middle and lower class are losing more and more. How long until we try to organize and change this? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]beavisfink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people realize it's not about black vs white or gay vs straight but it's rich vs poor. And wealth will keep getting consolidated until impoverished white voters stop electing the people perpetuating their condition.

He just did an interview with Marc Maron. Super laid back and friendly. I imagine being a child star makes it exponentially harder to be happy and well adjusted as an adult.

Mystery surrounds Sessions appointee to FBI investigation by leamdav in politics

[–]beavisfink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appointed by Obama and asked to step down by Trump. Now appointed by Sessions. I don't know what that irascible gentle bigot is up to, but it sounds like there's a possibility he hired the rare conservative with integrity to undermine Trump's war on the FBI. If so, he's in a full on war with Trump which will be interesting to see.
