It takes a lot of training and a lot of self care. I’m very lucky to work with an employer that does truly emphasize self care and allows us to do that.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

I’m a crisis intervention specialist, which means I’m a counselor who specifically works with suicidal individuals and those undergoing similar crises.

So the absolute first that comes to mind is a joke answer: Strong Woman, the vice Principal from South Park.

The actual answer is Phryne Fisher

“Hope the night is manageable.” I work in a field where people aren’t sure how to wish me a good night at work.

My partner is in an apprenticeship program for electrical and plumbing. We’re in a city so large, with so many tradespeople, that a given field has multiple unions within the same metro area. What you’re describing is not at all anyone’s experience in this area of the U.S.

Must be a state by state thing. My partner recently moved to trades from another career, and it’s correct that you get put on a list of apprenticeship positions, but they employ you to actively do work the entire time.

I was told by a friend; watch all the way up through season 5, then sit for a couple weeks and don’t watch it for a while. Really think about if you want to keep going. Because the writers originally wrote the first 5 seasons to be a self contained story and it worked really well. Then the show was very successful, and they asked them to keep going. What ended up happening was they’d have single or double season long plots that just kinda rolled from one to another and had a bunch of escalation and flanderization going on. Like, in one season the big issue is The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They deal with three of them, and then Death is the big badass. He’s the one they can’t actually beat. They spend an entire season leading up to him and trying to deal with him.

Then, the very next season, that same super badass, Death himself, is in the way of something they want. Summoning, binding, and killing permanently this mega badass end season boss is all the effort of half of a fucking episode in the next season. The Flanderization is most obvious in Dean, where he goes from a dude who is characterized by typically masculine traits, and emphasizes that masculinity at times, to “Me Dean, me want burger! Me want pie!!”

Supernatural

They managed to escalate all the way to God’s grumpy sister.

And then went even further, making the next enemy: The British.

I’ll try that, thank you! This is my first day :)

Hey, I’m not sure where else to ask this, but I’m trying to switch to darkly. I change the setting over to darkly, click on ‘save’, and then go back to lemmy.world but it never sticks. What’s going on?
