There are probably many more minds that could hack being a good doctor, but are smart enough to go into a field where the work-life balance hasn’t been a terrible trope since 1900.

This was me. Studied for and did well on the required exams, interviewed at a couple of schools, and in between my interviews and acceptance letter I talked to a couple of people in residency at my university. The descriptions of their work-life balance was so atrocious, and the altruism of the profession so stomped out of their mentality that I decided I could probably help people in other ways.

As I watched a couple of my close friends battle depression all through medical school and residency with very little institutional or mentor support, I decided I absolutely made the right choice. I really respect you for staying within the system and becoming an RN, because you guys also have it just as rough, along with the added disrespect of “But you’re not a DOCTOR.”

I don’t know why medicine is so gatekeepy in it’s processes. Being strict in education and procedures I understand. But the heirarchy, egoism, and political games to grind down all these young trainees is quite archaic.

How is this better???

So this is the year for a summer Japan trip, got it.

Thanks!

Guess I’m gonna keep on my plan of keeping an eye on the used market and hoping for honest gamers who don’t mark up their 2nd hand GPUs

It’s on Meta’s chatboard, not anywhere public. I saw people on Blind discussing it, if you have access there.

Idk how people think China is communist when they have for-profit hospitals, that’s like one of the biggest no-nos in communism lol.

Even the public hospitals are incentivized towards profit optimizing through over-prescription of medication (or useless stuff like homeopathy) in my experience. But last time I went through Chinese healthcare was all the way back in 2017, so things may have improved now (but I doubt it.)

Isn’t Nvidia only bumping up the price of the 5090s? Or is there an update to that?

Praying for our cars to survive at least another 15 years, bud 🙏

Naaaaah, my 2016 RAV4 Hybrid is balling. Back up camera, 360 sensors, remote start, heated seats, medium screen with buttons and knobs instead of touch, push start, stick shift, and the best part: no wifi on-board (through my phone only). Cars peaked right here.

Figure out how to pay my bills offline. No seriously, how did you uncs/aunties do it without online banking?

Do I have to get cheques? How the hell does one get cheques?

Yeah, this seems right. I had an easier time going through Brussels Zaventem during the September 2025 airport cyberattacks than I did Dallas-Fort Worth first week of this past January (before the TSA strike started). Even my straightest, cis-est, whitest, most American coworker (this is how he describes himself) got stopped and taken to a separate room for 40 minutes, and then we got rebooked to a flight two days later with no hotel accommodations, and no car. The cherry on top was having to do the whole security dance in full all over again.

Fun.
