Post-election counseling

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Looks like the generation of constant entertainment, participation trophies and time outs is having difficulty dealing with the outcome of the election. Those of us who have been on the planet for a while longer and weren't given recognition for merely showing up for things realize that sometimes your side wins and sometimes it doesn't. It's the way that life works. The linked article pertains to students at UNLV, but a quick Google search indicates that this kind of thing is going on all over the country.

Got post-election anxiety? UNLV offering therapy sessions

There is a generation of parents that were seriously absentee that wrought this on the nation.

lol this is a craziness.

You can't support a family working in a factory anymore so you might as well become a therapist for the weak-minded and stupid. It's a growth industry.

The people in "post-election counseling" are probably the same ones pushing for a recount in the northern states. Apparently Jill Stein is leading the charge and has raised millions for the recount request lol

I didn't vote for Trump but I was looking forward to seeing the meltdowns, especially from the Hollywood types. I didn't think it would be this dramatic though.

the fucktard is president, and the fucktards who voted for him are happy. 

do what you can to make sure it doesn't stay that way in 4 years, or shut up. 

 

But the fucktard president can't serve another 4 years.  It's already served his 8. 

But I agree, people should get over it.

I wonder how many of those young people that didn't show up to vote for Hillary are paying the Obamacare fine

The safe word is Scones.

That is beyond horrible! 

What sane person would ever talk to Tucker Carlson?

Liberal pussies like this guy terrify me. He needs a good ass kicking.

[Blarg]

He is irrelevant and will continue to be irrelevant even with mom and dad's influence and money. No corporations are hiring these clowns, they bring nothing to industry so the guy is probably going to end up the art director at some 3rd rate museum of modern art and wearing a goatee and suspenders under his cardigan.

Hampshire is strange. My stepdaughter was recruited by them before she started her undergraduate studies. They flew a representative into town to meet with her and two other students. Their program of study is bizarre - totally unstructured. Students have a faculty advisor who oversees their course of study throughout. I'm wondering what the diploma says, because there isn't a curriculum as such. Many of their courses are independent study with no textbooks.

As you might have guessed, it's also insanely expensive.

He told Carlson he wants to be a US History teacher. With his warped understanding of history, his class would be a complete disaster of safe spaces and misinformation. He'd probably have to change the title to something less repressive so it isn't a trigger warning to the masses at the University of Wimp.

Nate is pulling a What About Bob? on his therapist right now.

I have a friend and a cousin who are both teachers and remind me of this guy. I wish they weren't teachers

It has gone up. Five years ago, they quoted us somewhere in the neighborhood of $55-56K per year.

Their informational literature says that Hampshire College was formed after a group of academicians met and decided what the future of higher education should be (this was in the 1970s sometime). Hampshire was the end result. A ridiculously expensive school with no curriculum and questionable degree programs. I was left to wonder what success a student would have with an undergraduate degree from Hampshire and trying to do post-graduate work somewhere else.
