I’m back on my bullshit.
I was born and raised in the US. My parents spoke Spanish only. They maybe knew 5 words in English. I grew up learning Spanish fluently at home. Everything else (i.e. school, tv, friends) was in English, so I learned that naturally.
Downside: I feel like it created 2 personalities. I feel emotions, relate to family and romance, and cook in Spanish. I think logically, conduct business, and have friends in English.
I’m almost certain that every state not only requires at least an accredited master’s degree, but also a state board license that involves at least 2 years of clinical supervision. However, the supervision is based on the honor system of other licensed therapists, so there isn’t much oversight of the quality. Clinical supervisors usually charge for supervision, so there is a conflict of interest.
because you found it funny
Aging is a good sign tho. The only people that don’t age are dead.
Maybe talk to your doctor about bupropion (wellbutrin/zyban). It’s a unique antidepressant medication that work by inhibiting reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine (other reuptake inhibitors focus mostly on serotonin or norepinephrine). When testing it, they found that many people stopped smoking, so it’s now prescribed for people that want to stop using nicotine. You likey wouldn’t be on it for long, just a few months until you get the cravings to stop and readjust your life to no nicotine.
I have the opposite problem. I don’t eat enough. On several occasions, I have gone upto 3 days without eating. Closer friends are often worried about my nutrition. It’s gotten so bad, that my last 3 girlfriends have made it a topic in the relationship, while I have friends that let me come over for dinner literally any day I want. They then makes sure I eat enough.
To me, eating can be such a chore. It’s like eating is something I have to do just like showering. I can find it rewarding on some occasions, but unlike showering when I feel brand new afterwards, once I eat, I get dumb, slow, bloated, and feel heavy. If I haven’t eaten throughout the day, I feel light, energetic, focused, and free.
Anyway, I find it interesting to be on the other end of unhealthy eating continuum. What about eating makes it hard to stop?
shit your mouth
Found the scatmannnnn! 🎶Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub. Yo da dub dub.🎶
I tried installing Arch once about 10 years ago. I couldn’t get it to work even though I admittedly didn’t try my hardest. I was in a PhD program at the time, so my mental resources and time were quite limited. Still, I had real experience as a sysadmin, so I wasn’t entirely computer illiterate. Every time I see a potential user switching to Linux asking for distro recommendations and others suggests Arch, I internally roll my eyes. Unless that user is a computer programmer or similar looking to prove their skills to themselves, that is a great way to get someone to never switch to Linux because they will more than likely become overwhelmed with the installation.
If you are switching to Linux for the first time and don’t want to spend a frustrating week reading a wiki and troubleshooting lots of minute but consequential issues, don’t start with Arch! Linux Mint is by far the easiest for new users. Give it a run for a while until you feel like switching to more demanding distros.
I’m happy for you :)
How did you come to like that? When was the first time you tried it?
milkshake and broccoli (or any veggie)
this one actually disgusted me
my celebrity crush: Zoe Saldana. she kinda looks like an alien, but damn…she is the epitome of beauty, my Aphrodite 😍
American here. What’s a toonie?
That is a fantastic painting! The artist nailed it.
It obscures your IP so that sites don’t know who you are by that, but really, they can just fingerprint your browser if you’re not addressing that too.
You can present your location to a site as being from any where the VPN has a server. Say you want to watch something that is only available to users in Canada, but you live in Mexico. You can use the VPN to present yourself to the site as being in Canada and watch it. Unfortunately, some sites are blocking content from being accessed by known VPN IP addresses. I think Netflix is one. Frustrating to me, lemmy.world doesn’t let anyone post or comment while using a VPN, though I understand that it’s for valid security and admin purposes, such as to reduce CASM material.
More importantly, it encrypts your data between you and the VPN. That means that no one between you two knows what the info you’re transmitting means. This includes your ISP that likely collects/sells your data or could report it to authorities. Additionally, it protects you from people that can join your wifi and steal your data that way, say at a public wifi like a coffee shop.
Personally, I use a VPN as much as possible, especially when I’m connected to any wifi outside of my home. In fact, I will absolutely not access security-sensitive sites (e.g. bank accounts, credit cards, etc.) on public wifi without using my VPN.
If I remember correctly, NordVPN keeps logs So, if a govt ever subpoenas their data, users can have their privacy violated.
Kenya stop telling me what to do?
This is one of my top two reasons for not using Windows. Wth can I not put the panel where ever the hell I want?? So freaking frustrating how they control what you can do just in terms of user preferences. Or like, why can’t I click on whatever window I want regardless of a prompt being open. “Oh you took a screen shot and want to save it, but you need to look at the site to remember the name? lol, fu.” Unbearable.
Fyi, the other top reason is that they shove a bunch of garbage in that I don’t want, like that Cortana bs they did a few years back. No thank you.
awwwww beansssssss :(((
GTFO here! That is sooooo much more inconvenient since it will block the view of anything you have open on that screen, and it just feels completely odd. wowwww.
Tertiary education: university professor.
LPT: Talk to your professor and ask questions!!
I have so many students that don’t perform well because they didn’t understand some material. I’m seriously getting paid to help you understand it, but I can’t present it in a way that works perfectly for every student since they all have their own learning styles. I also wont know if they aren’t getting it of no one speaks out.
I want:
I don’t:
The vast majority of university professors are obsessed with what they teach, so much so, that they made a career out of talking about it. Asking then about it would make their day. If you go up to one that seems like they’re being bothered, then that’s the exception. Don’t let that one stop you from engaging with all of the others.
Note: This is true for almost all courses. However, there are some courses in certain universities that are considered “weed out classes”. These classes, typically taken in the first 2 years, are informally designed to have lower performing students fail before they advance too far into the major and find out later that they don’t have what it takes to be successful in the field. The professors of those classes are more commonly not helpful at all. Don’t give me shit about it because I didn’t design this system nor do I teach those classes.
