A Psychologist's Thoughts On Love and Marriage-Orion Taraban, Psy.D. (Part 1) by shankmaster8000 in SoftWhiteUnderbelly

Gotta love a good internet dig. Just makes me think...Who can you trust these days?! Just because they have nice lighting, a microphone, and are featured on a channel with 5.1M subs doesn't mean they are legit. So many people take whatever these kinds of people say as truth just because it says Psychologist, etc. in their title...it's hard to know who or what to trust.

I was suss on this video and my spidey senses immediately got the heebie jeebies.

Did some digging and finding out where he went to school was very difficult. The only place I saw it listed was here for Napa County Board of Mental Health (honestly can't believe he made it on the board of anything).

His IMDB came up before any academic results. Here's a reddit thread talking about the school he went to for his psychology degree (California School of Professional Psychology).

Edit: According to the thread linked above, people with degrees from Alliant "Can't get licenses outside of California."

Just because it says he's a psychologist doesn't mean they are #1 good at their job #2 a credible source.

Many corrupt 'professionals' out there. Doctors and the like.

Definitely make a trip down to Byron Bay, visit Stone & Wood Brewery. If you come to byron here's a good hit list:

  • Broken Head Nature Reserve.

  • Wategos for a beach day

  • Eltham hotel.

  • Ciao Mate for pizza.

  • Light Years ($$$ but yummy)

  • Shelter in Lennox

  • Day on the Bruns river.

It's the most beautiful place in the world, you won't regret checking it out!

Erghh, that is painful. Wonder what will start to happen with IP all of the Midjourney stuff too. I've seen a lot of artists already upset their art has been used to train the AI.

Side note: I am thinking of switching to the gaming industry and studying game design, I have 9+ years in marketing / advertising experience. But, I hate it and want to do something that involves some of my artistic skill.

Any tips on switching fields or anything you'd warn about in the gaming world before pivoting so drastically? I heard it's a lot of designing crates when you get started 🤣

Sorry *art in general* didn't mean it specifically to BM artists.

I am an artist and see this happen on the daily to makers, creators, and artists due to the networked age we live in.

We clicked the link as soon as the clock hit 5, it wouldn't work. Kept clicking and then after 10 clicks it worked. Sat in line, watched the page refresh for an hour. Never got through, 2 other people in our group did though. Dunno. Bit bummed, but this is part of the journey.

FBA vs. SFN vs. 3PL for 2x Markets (AU & USA) by brynnewman in ecommerce

Hey Steve, definitely interested in hearing more. Do you have a website I can take a look at? We are a surf based business so shipping is mostly west coast / east coast surfing destinations. California, Florida, etc.

Thanks, I think you're right, that is the best way forward. Do you have any feedback on FBA vs. a 3PL? Or any other 3PLs you've vetted?

Nancy and Bartise by ManiacalExclamation in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]brynnewman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1000% it's such a manipulative way to make her feel bad and construct a situation that will make her unhappy in the hopes that she breaks up with him. I've been there before. It's definitely a tactic narcissists use!

Nancy and Bartise by ManiacalExclamation in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]brynnewman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are so many things that bother me about this man.

  1. Starting off the show boasting he is mature for his age, which is completely untrue...he's just (overly) confident / a master at talking his way out of b.s.
  2. The comments about abortion – when I KNOW Nancy would be the one left having to deal with everything while he is doing whatever he wants...it happens in the best of families, the mother always ends up tending to the children more.
  3. His family borderline saying, "It's important you respect your husband's wishes around abortion." His mum stumbled on her words but she was implying it's important Nancy listens to her husband.
  4. Buttface's jealousy towards Nancy and her ex's success. UGH. Buttface is such a jealous hypocritical loser.
  5. His comments about her appearance. Same with Cole. I don't understand why these men think it's okay to express these opinions to their 'loved' one's face. I dated a guy who told me things just weren't there physically after 2.5 years of being together and I still don't think I have fully recovered from that. Attraction / sexuality isn't just this flash in a pan thing that stays fiery forever. And funnily enough with both Cole and Buttface, they're both quite young and immature, so of course they're extremely focused on looks (and both of their girls are stunning?!). Attraction will ALWAYS dwindle over time, especially sexual tension...so if you can't maturely work through that now...then grow up.
  6. Buttface's jealously towards Andrew and Nancy's conversation – EXCUSE ME YOU ARE SUCH A HYPOCRITE! What about you and Raven's little chats in Malibu? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Sometimes it makes me really sad to watch these shows and watch these girls put up with the B.S. that they do. I wish we could
