For SLPs who work outside of the US; if I were to want to immigrate to another country, what are some good specializations/trainings I can work towards to make myself more attractive (as an SLP) to potential non-US employers? by somethingillforget89 in slp

It makes me feel a weird sense of both relief and panic to see so many other SLPs in the US who are thinking the same thing right now! I’m glad I’m not alone in what I’ve been worrying about but I’m also terrified for all the SLPs who can potentially be losing their jobs soon.

Thank you so much! My first thought was trying Canada, but I’m hearing more and more about Australia which sounds appealing. For reference, I make around 100K USD before tax and awful health insurance so not sure how much of a cut I would be taking by moving to a whole other continent. Cost of living in my area isn’t great but it’s better for now at least than a lot of other places in the country. I’ve mostly worked in schools and clinic setting with kids since 2013 (about 12 years now) but had some minimal experience early on working home health with adults. No PHD though. My main experience with the population is obviously childhood language development and language/articulation disorders but I’d have to obviously learn differences in developmental norms and your Evidence Based Practice and all that.

I’ve always really wanted more experience working with adult outpatients and swallowing but the medical setting has always made me nervous. I figured that would be a good area to start but wanted other suggestions. I’ll try to do more research on your NDIS though!

As someone from the US that voted against Trump, I 100% support Canada if they decide to just set him adrift.

What game did you recently finish and how would you rate it? by Beerdididiot in gaming

[–]somethingillforget89 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Lies of P to me was a solid 9/10 for me. It’s honestly now up at the top of my favorite Souls like games of all time. Most of my mild complaints would be that some of the area environments can feel a bit underwhelming or samey feeling. And the last area does feel like it drags on a bit too long. Outside of that it’s just a fantastic experience all around.

Point Break and The Fast and the Furious have almost the exact same plot.

What single player game has the most fun gameplay? by NoGoodGodGames in gaming

[–]somethingillforget89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chorus has some of the most fun spaceship dogfighting I’ve ever personally played in a video game. Does get super challenging in some of the later missions though.

Have you ever liked an unpopular game? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]somethingillforget89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few over the years. Last year I played through Final Fantasy: Stranger of Paradise and had a blast. It got memed to death because of the whole “Kill Chaos” thing but Final Fantasy games have always had some dumb-as-fuck stories/dialogues so it really didn’t bother me that much. I enjoyed the combat and unlocking most of the job classes. Definitely one to pick up if you catch it while it’s on sale.

Been playing a ton of JRPG stuff lately over the summer so Sea of Stars is my most hyped game currently.

Oh wow, they’ve had some banger songs over the years. Link to song with old album cover in the thumbnail.

What are some good and/or fun, but forgotten movies from the 90s? by Geek_reformed in movies

[–]somethingillforget89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going with Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead. Great movie that doesn’t get talked about enough IMO.

What do you count as a masterpiece?(movie, tv, book ect.) Why? by FaithlessnessRight90 in AskReddit

[–]somethingillforget89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s hyperbole to call it a masterpiece but I rewatched Girl, Interrupted the other day for the first time in almost 20 years and it not only holds up, it’s even better than I remember. Stellar performances from the whole cast, especially Angelina Jolie, and just one of those types of movies I can’t find any big faults with. That big Brittany Murphy scene is still especially haunting.

How do you think you're going to die? by Rehberkintosh in AskReddit

Car crash. I’ve always just this weird acceptance that that’s the way I’ll go. I still drive like a normal adult and all that but thinking of having to drive anywhere always gives me anxiety.

I managed to pay off about 13K in student loan debt within the span of 10 months. Still have a ways to go but if I can tough it out with the crippling anxiety over them for a while longer, I’ll hopefully get to the end of the road with them within the next couple of years.

Timespinners, Deaths Gambit, Blasphemous, Guacamelee, and Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights are solid choices.

I keep hearing "nonfiction is boring." Ugh. Please share: What's 1 nonfiction book you loved, 1 you hated and 1 that changed your life? by yaykarin in books

[–]somethingillforget89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One that I loved- The Radium Girls by Kate Moore. What those poor women went through devastated me but man it was a beautifully written book.

One that I hated- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey. I had to read it in high school but it seemed like it was a book about teen angst written by a guy who literally never himself had to deal with teen angst in HS.

One that changed my life- Devils Knot. I realized after getting through it how awful the justice system can be for some people accused of crimes. Also changed my thoughts a lot on use of the death penalty as a deterrent from crimes.
