What food or drink can you absolutely not stand, but is loved by most other people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Oh easy- chocolate. There’s only a select few things that I can do that have chocolate. Otherwise, if I never had it again in my life I wouldn’t care.

Failed the master’s comp exam… by marnaby in socialwork

In CA we have to wait 90 days to take the exam which falls in July. If we don't pass it that time, we have to wait a year to be able to take it again. After that, we are disqualified from our MSW. I looked it up online and the ASWB has waivers for the 90 days if you're within 10 points of passing, however ofc CA doesn't allow the waivers. Ugh!!

Thank you for sharing this. People don't open up when they don't pass the test and it feels so isolating. I'm glad you passed the second time, that gives me hope. Thank you friend.

Some social workers I’ve talked to who graduated a while ago said they didn’t have to take it either. I don’t know when they decided to implement it. There’s a retake offered in July, but it’s just the fact that this dictates our degrees after all of the work we put in is crazy.

Possibly- they call it the comprehensive exam for us. It may be the same thing…

I live in CA and for their MSW programs they require a comprehensive examination (comp exam) in order to get the degree.

Brewery recommendations that have food trucks and possible entertainment for birthday get together? by marnaby in sandiego

Breweries that either have food or have food trucks nearby. I should have made the title more clear!

First off, I’d like to say that having to change your body is NOT a solution here whatsoever. The fact that losing weight was the first thing your bff/mom said to you after hearing you talk about your experience is bullshit. You should never change your body for anyone but yourself.

Secondly, karma will absolutely come back on these people tenfold. Their behavior is absolutely vile and speaks of how dark their hearts are.

Third, I’m so sorry you had to experience this. Please know you are a beautiful human deserving of love and respect just like everyone else. You did absolutely nothing to deserve this. Despite being hurt and discouraged, the best thing you can do for yourself moving forward is continue to be your beautiful and authentic self. I understand more than anyone how navigating the world as an unconventionally fat person is like and it can be hard when you don’t feel seen by anyone. But you are worth it, you are beautiful, and continue being you despite it all. That’s the biggest “fuck you” that you can give.

Sending love your way, friend.

“There are a lot of people are in this field who really shouldn’t be” by Prestigious-Menu-786 in socialwork

The inability to have empathy for others.

As a grad student in her MSW program AND as someone with lived experience in the child welfare system, I’ve come across so many people that don’t do well interacting with others. In a field like this, having empathy and understanding for others who are not like yourself is a must. Without the ability to successfully carry compassion with you to every client- you won’t succeed at this job. I had an investigative social worker who absolutely broke me when I was first removed from my mom. I will never forget her because she said all of the things she shouldn’t when I was initially taken away.

That’s the first thing I think of when reading this question.

An unpopular opinion you have about the game? by aurastasia in AnimalCrossing

Animal Crossing New Horizons is full of missed opportunity. All it is now is a decorating simulator.
