I asked a girl to coffee once and she ran off. She literally sprinted away. I had to append my list of worst outcomes.
Jonoco··on Cognitive behavioural therapy is falling out of favour
> linked most highly to success in therapy is the strength of the relationship between therapist and client

Have there been many studies looking at how the client-therapist relationship itself effects the client? Wouldn't having a non-judgmental person with whom you can comfortably confide it, whom you know is making a concerted effort to help you improve your well being, have some noticeable improvement on your condition, regardless of whether they were a trained professional?

Or put another way, is there anyone who finds themselves in therapy largely because they have no close friends?

Jonoco··on Silicon Valley doesn’t care about black people
Polemical headlines doesn't make an argument more persuasive; Silicon Valley companies don't have a say in police use-of-force, but the author knows and is only trying to tie the two topics together for popularity points.

Jonoco··on Water Train Inc. seeks test project partners
Will they be selling it at the subsidized rate California farmers are accustomed to? Farmers in Central California paid $17.00/acre-foot last year. I'll do the maths:

472.6 acre-feet X $17.00/acre-feet = $8,095.40

Not bad for 300 railcars.
