Someone shit their pants in a revolving door at the hospital and the door continued to spin, smearing the shit in a circle continuously. It was supposedly pretty gross. Am I using this sub right?
I thought that people were lying when they said this drug eventually turns any user into a selfish piece of shit but I guess they were right. I thought it was only a self-fulfilling prophecy. That you'd only become a piece of shit if you believed you would turn into one. I believe in good, and doing good. I still do. Or at least I thought I did. I have become the very thing I said I wouldn't. Something I hate. A selfish asshole.
How am I selfish? I'm sick of losing tweaker friends to sobriety. It's both a blessing and a curse to have a natural increased tolerance to this drug. It's nice having the inability to get too zooted. Over a year of daily usage and I've never even over-amped (I did get some anxiety when I tried oral dosing one time though lol). I sleep almost every night and if I don't it's cause I slept during the day instead. I can count only a handful of times I've even been able to stay awake past 48 hours. I've never seen a shadow person or had an auditory hallucination. Unfortunately with this natural tolerance comes an observance of the winds if change. I miss when everything was fun and new. I made all these friends. I was a part of a close-knit community. I felt like a part of something. Well whatever that something I was a part of was, I'm apart from it now. The small tweaker communities I was enveloped in have grown, which ironically made them more lonely. Familiar faces became lost in the crowd and then disappeared entirely.
A common theme; people disappearing. Usually they give no reason as to why. They just disappear. Presumably shit got out of control for them. They get sober. I hope anyways. Maybe they just got sick of my shit and ghosted me. I mean probably not, I'm fucking awesome. Fuck if I know. What I do know is that very few friendships that are based on this drug can ever truly last. One person gets sober and then they stay away from the ones who didn't. The Snapchat groups thin out over time. The discord servers die. The reddit user-base cycles people out and new ones in, with few regular users who soldier on.
Maybe they just get sick of whatever social media platform and switch to different ones. I don't know. All I know is things aren't like they used to be. My old friends don't know me now, and I don't know them. The things that used to bring me joy in this community now only bring me sadness. Reminiscing about what they once were, then anguishing over the lifeless husk they now are. I guess all good things come to
... keep reading on reddit ➡It feels like the same arcs are getting repeated again and again and again. Kendall has risen 3 times against his father and crumbled twice and looks like he’s about to fail a third time.
Shiv goes through the same cycle of wanting to be CEO and her fathers approval, to getting spited by Logan, to trying to or entertaining the idea of fucking him over. It was the major arc with the Pearces in season 2 happened briefly at the beginning of season 3 and is happening again right now.
Logan seems to have the plot armor of an anime protagonist somehow pulling the rabbit out of his hat at the last minute to save the day. Season 1 when Kendall gets stuck in traffic. Kendall kills a waiter saving Logan from combined forces of Stewy, Himself, and Sandy. The annual shareholder vote/settlement in s3e5 needs to have lasting repercussions or else the main conflict over the last 2 seasons will have been pointless.
Hopefully, by the end of season 3 something will happen that will shift the paradigm. Kendall needs to either completely fail and be done for good or he needs to win I could care less either way. Shiv needs to make up her fucking mind and confront her father or stay a shit eater.
Every time this cycle of drama continues it feels more and more contrived and it makes it much harder to become invested in the narrative if the status quo never changes.
What information are people getting regarding family/household isolation after repeated positive cases?
I tested positive Dec 23rd, with symptoms starting the 20th. End of isolation would of been the 30th. I did everything I could, I wore a mask 24/7 around my family, slept in the basement, used sanitizer every 3mins practically. Yesterday (26th) my 6yo tested positive on a rapid test, does this put the house myself included in isolation for another +10 days? My wife and 4yo have not tested positive (yet) but help me if they do, we will be in isolation for month!
Does each new positive case put the whole house into a new 10 day isolation? even if I got it and have gotten over it?
I'm reading stories that people are quitting and making more money elsewhere...
Then I just read a couple of stories where the company is hiring a new person for more money, but not willing to give the current employee a raise, even though it's the same job.
So now when I see that people have quit and getting a better paying job. I wonder if the person before you, quit because they couldn't get a raise and you come in making twice what the original person was making.
I could be way off, but was just a thought that came to mind after the last story I just read.
I'm still waiting to see everyone just stop doing anything for two weeks and go outside and play kickball or something.
Working for a mobile crisis team and it’s so frustrating to feel powerless due to lack of resources and such. We have a lot of clients that experience bad meth-induced psychosis. To the point where they are unsafe as they are not dressed for the weather, try breaking into places for warmth, can’t control their bladder etc. We call the police to involuntarily commit them because they are a danger to themselves not being properly dressed/housed in this weather. We don’t want them freezing to death. Hospital says it is drug-induced so they can’t do much and just release the client after a couple hours (my state’s involuntary commitment laws are very specific and weak). The only homeless shelter in the area bans the clients from staying there due to being high/erratic behavior. So client is freezing on the streets, which prompts another call to us…I’m just at my wits end for what to do. It just feels like an endless revolving door for some clients.
https://old.reddit.com/r/UniTeachinginJapan/comments/r7m8sa/the_labor_market_for_university_english_teachers/?
EDIT: a lot of people are replying to say they never even heard of a time when it was tougher to get a uni job over 40. To be clear it hasn’t been that way in a while and probably stopped being realistic by the late 2000’s. This just explains how things changed, and why conditions for people looking for work continue to be favorable, even with all the talk of low enrollment.
For all the talk about how the market is shrinking and jobs are getting hard to find, the job market for contract university English teachers is actually getting pretty tight on the supply side.
There used to be a constant inflow of new foreigners to Japan via the JET program and overseas hiring by Nova, Aeon and Geos. A certain percentage of those people would stay, get married, get masters degrees (relatively easy to do then, because salaries were high enough to pay for them) and look for university work. So it was relatively easy for universities to find young lecturers (even under 30), keep them on contract until they weren't quite as cute anymore and then replace then with younger versions. A big danger of being a contract full time university lecturer was that by the time you were 40 employers would view you as "worn out". And by 50 and 60 a lot of people had no choice but to move back to part time or even back to eikawa stuff. It was bleak.
Then JET dried up and got replaced by dispatch companies that keep their costs low by hiring domestically. Then Nova went bust and in general conversation schools started shuttering. They may still hire overseas, but not like they used to.
So the spigot closed, and the new foreigners that kept coming to Japan and keeping labor cheap stopped coming, making the revolving door employment harder and harder to keep up.
For while, new lecturers kept coming, because former Nova people would step up their games and get masters to qualify for new jobs. But that wave is over; by now anyone from that generation that was serious about getting a masters degree already has one, and there's nobody coming up behind them. Any new foreigners that come are here for reasons other than teaching English. And the ones that do teach English at Altia etc don't make nearly enough money to pay for a Masters and are stuck in a cycle of poverty.
If you go to JALT, take a look around. How many teachers do you see under 40? Surprisingly few. How many teachers do you see under 30? They're unicorns at this point. There are literally more people there in their 60s now.

For the four seasons of Discovery we've had so far, there's somewhat of a trend to make someone else a captain each season. First we had Lorca, who became not captain because he was deposed, then we had Pike, who was a temporary captain until the end of Season 2 when the Discovery went into the future, then we had Saru, until the show decided Saru wasn't a good captain/he wanted to spend time with Su'Kal, and now we have Burnham. I definitely think the show is sowing the seeds of Burnham passing the captaincy to someone else with the discontent the president of the Federation is showing with her and her remark about how people like Burnham can be a bit of a threat during times of peace. I also think the show is hinting at some kind of catastrophic future event this season which will really test Burnham's skill as a captain. With that said, I can't think of a good replacement captain. Saru already had a go as captain, so I don't think it would be him, although it's definitely possible seeing as he said he would become a captain again later, he's XO for this season, and the main reason he didn't stay as captain was inexperience, which is less true. On the other hand, he's already had a go, so I'm not sure if he'll do it again, Burnham is literally the main character, so now that she's captain she might just stay there, and there aren't any other strong contenders for the position. (Tilly or Stamets, maybe? ehh...)
What do you think?
