  • Is everybody just struggling financially right now?

    Jump

  • Sign up with a pension company and pay money into it like any other monthly bill.

    I'm in the UK so might be different elsewhere.

  • Is everybody just struggling financially right now?

    Jump

  • Same.

    Also self employed. Got plenty of work lined up, savings, pension, cheap mortgage.

    Each year looks a little better than the last one.

    I think part of the reason it seems everyone is struggling is because of two reasons.

    One, lots of people are struggling. Two, no one wants to hear from the few who aren't.

  • There was no real Borg threat to the federation until Q interfered, Guinan said as much to Picard in Q Who

  • UK/EU homelabbers: would you host a hardened Pi so I can watch baseball I already pay for?

    Jump

  • It totally can through.

    When making a request, and generally expecting to be misunderstood, autism can lead to over explaining and very logical detailed expression like this.

    I was moderately effective as a salesman with this approach, with some limitations and caveats.

  • Could just be autism. They overlap in style a lot, especially when making a request like this. A real possibility in this community

  • What do you miss that's ultimately inconsequential but still deeply personal?

  • Two things.

  • My brother once asked why the new hoover (vacuum cleaner) had a light on it and was told "so you can still see what you're hoovering in a powercut"

  • What was the last emergency situation you were in? What happened and what part did you play?

    Jump

  • I think that's a natural question to wonder.

    He did not jump, he talked with my friend for a while and when the police got there they talked for a bit too and then he climbed back to safety.

    It was surreal for me, being on the phone and hearing it all, but not being able to speak to anyone for most of it.

  • What was the last emergency situation you were in? What happened and what part did you play?

    Jump

  • The last real "emergency" emergency I was involved in, was on the phone to someone who was talking to a guy on the edge of the bridge.

    Friend of mine was out delivering parcels and stopped because of a crowd on the bridge. They were worried because everyone was watching and waiting for the police, no one was talking to the guy who was looking down at the water.

    They called me to ask what to do or say when they approached them.

    That friend of mine is now a therapist themselves and a damn good one too.

  • Use your big girl words

    Jump

  • You know how many cards there are in a deck?

    People can shuffle them into a random order and then memorise the order, so it's really not that many cards.

    Each time you shuffle the deck it's the same familiar cards, we can easily recognise and differentiate every card in the deck.

    But how many different ways are there to arrange that deck of cards? How many possible combinations?

    More than there are stars in the sky. Every shuffle is unique.

    I love my job because I get to use familiar ideas to help people make sense of their own unique shuffle 😊

  • Use your big girl words

    Jump

  • That's not how I teach therapists to work.

    We don't use leading questions, we do really and genuinely want to understand and I've never worked with someone who wasn't totally unique even if their story was superficially similar to another

  • Use your big girl words

    Jump

  • A good therapist can feel like they're reading your mind.

    Emotional intelligence isn't the only skill involved in that, still a big part of it.

  • always trust authority

  • That way they can describe the driver, assuming they survive.

  • Yup.

    Guilt and shame do not motivate people to change.

    They can motivate people to hide, but not to change.
