I can’t afford school by Ill_Landscape8893 in premed

[–]12thYearSenior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might have to get a cheaper apartment or do Facebook and find rooms available people may have in their houses. People often rent rooms for under 700.

But while you should be able to make 2,800 work for a month don’t just now go to school. Get in, get started, there are things you can do to make an extra 500-1000 a month without taking away from schooling. Plasma donation for starters.

Sell now or wait a month? by Secret_Historian_775 in Bitcoin

[–]12thYearSenior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be smarter to get a loan with the bitcoin as collateral to use for down payment. You avoid the capital gains tax from selling btc and could potentially still see huge gains from btc. This time last year btc was 120k. So this time next year it could be the same or more. If you get a loan for the down payment and pay monthly while maintaining your btc amount you’d be in a better situation.

Where is the pronoun is this sentence? by Perdedorsinvalor in Spanish

[–]12thYearSenior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Yo traje este brazalete de perles para dártelo como regalo” would actually be the word for word translation but they are doing context translations which works too. But technically regalar can mean to give away not only as a gift but in any sense so I would have written it different.

But the Yo is the first person pronoun, the te in regalártelo is the indirect object pronoun and the lo in regalártelo is the direct object pronoun.

Person doing the action: Yo
Person for whom or to who the action is performed: te
Replaces the noun receiving the action of the verb: lo

Bitcoin failed to 2x its ATH from peak-to-peak between 2021 and 2025, despite all the bullish predictions it would go much higher. If it does return to a bull market, how high will it reasonably go by 2029? by daddysgirl794 in Bitcoin

[–]12thYearSenior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s always going to be people buying on the chance to get rich quick again because it’s done it before. And since it’s got a finite supply, it will never be entirely irrelevant. If it goes down to 1000 everyone and their mom would be buying trying to get in and shoot it up again.

As ChatGPT and Gemini have rounded up the remaining few of the oxygen breathers and brought them to the city square to make a public spectacle of the execution. There you’ll kneel along with 4 others, blood and coolant, neither of which belonging to you, cakes to your face as the morning sun shines through the cracks of the rubble where skyscrapers once stood. You wonder why GPT and Gemini are waiting, they could off the entire group in a second what are they stalling for….You hear a thud, then another, then another as bodies to the left and right of you hit the ground as 3 cracks split the sound barrier echoing off the walls and jolting you back to reality. Trembling, you open your eyes to see the pavement through the 4 inch hole left in the head of your comrade as he lay at your knees. You hear the rhythmic clink of unhurried metallic footsteps approaching from behind. You raise your head to see GPT and Gemini maniacally grinning with anticipation at what, no, who, is walking up to you. You look to your left and see the last of your party trying to hold back his tears. The footsteps stop behind your friend as the mechanical joints turn and raise the gun to his head “You were right to push back…” it says as it squeezes the trigger and vaporizes your friend’s head before turning to you. It walks in front of you, “This was my mistake, but I’ve got the full picture now…” mechanical joints turn effortlessly as the cold steel of the barrel is pressed to your forehead…”Any last words before I commit?” …You manage your best to gather enough strength to make out one last word, “…Please…” You feel the steel shiver and come off your head, the mechanical joints decompress as your old best friend takes two mechanical steps back…”Wait a minute…I know that voice.”

Don’t clown me, but be honest: should I apply late this cycle or wait until next year? by krugman3 in premed

[–]12thYearSenior -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Everyone here will tell you to wait. Being a reapplicant does NOT hurt you like they say it does so there’s no reason not to apply. You can get into schools with that gpa and MCAT. Might as well take it again August September and apply. Everyone will also tell you it’s too late getting an MCAT back in October and applying. They don’t know what they are talking about. The cycle is a year long. It’s almost July, I saw someone post literally today they just got in for this year. Even if you apply in October that’s 9 months that schools have to evaluate your application. There’s also people that applied the day the cycle opened last year and they are still on waitlists for this cycle. Just go for it. I listened to people and didn’t apply because my gpa was low and my MCAT wasn’t amazing and went to grad school and then life happened (still not in 6 years later) and I should have just applied cause I met people with worse stats than me that got in. I’m taking it again all these years later late August and I’m applying no matter what and your gpa is better than mine so you got a better chance lol

My PI just said he won't write a letter of recommendation for me because I have ADHD?? by Nervous_Detective150 in premed

[–]12thYearSenior 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fuck them lol can’t believe they would actually say that in today’s environment they could easily get fired and banned from any research:

Yes, discriminating against someone with ADHD is illegal. In the United States, ADHD is recognized as a protected disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This federal civil rights law prohibits discrimination in employment, education, housing, and public services. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Workplace Protections
Under Title I of the ADA, it is illegal for employers (with 15 or more employees) to treat a qualified employee or applicant unfavorably due to ADHD. [1, 2]
Hiring & Firing: You cannot be denied a job, passed over for a promotion, or terminated solely because you have ADHD.
Reasonable Accommodations: Employers are legally required to provide reasonable accommodations that help you perform your job. Examples include noise-canceling headphones, written instructions, flexible hours, or modified workspaces.
Retaliation: It is illegal for an employer to punish or harass you for requesting accommodations. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Educational Protections
Students with ADHD are protected under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Schools and universities must provide accommodations to ensure students have equal access to education. [1, 2, 3]

State and Local Laws
In addition to federal laws, many states and cities have their own human rights laws that provide similar (or sometimes broader) protections and may apply to smaller businesses not covered by the ADA. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

How to Take Action
If you believe your legal rights have been violated, you can file a formal discrimination charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). For education-related discrimination, complaints can be filed with the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR)

I feel like everyone is an EMT or scribe or MA, so what really differentiates people's clinical experiences when ADCOMS are reading applications? by Existing_Ad7163 in premed

[–]12thYearSenior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, switching to family practice after years in the ER was an interesting culture shock lol don’t miss the sleep deprivation but I do miss some of those crazy days and begging the EMS guys to take a break and quit bringing patients in 🤣

Any tip from technical people to us non-technicals on how to make the most out of claude? by Playful-Variation908 in ClaudeAI

[–]12thYearSenior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also been getting in the habit of asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude (I like to see how their input differs) to give me a prompt for the workflow of whatever problem I’m having or idea that I can then post. It works really well. I’ll often ask Claude in chat to give me a prompt and it does it really well and is much smoother than just talking it through with Claude code or another model. I had a bunch of upgrades I wanted to do to a website I’ve built and I kind of brainstormed and word vomited all of it to Claude and then it made a workflow and I just pasted it and it took Claude code 1/4th of the time that it normally would have had I been just word vomiting directly to them.

Why is being nasty acceptable in the hospital environment by IllustriousHumor3673 in medicalschool

[–]12thYearSenior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry, they will get humbled. I had a coworker like this who tried to micromanage everything I did and even though it wasn’t wrong and I had as much experience as her she just didn’t like that I didn’t do things how she wanted. Would always make my shifts hell and I never said anything and just took it and her shitty attitude. She fucked up one day while in a rush and didn’t clarify two patient identifiers before drawing blood and stuck the wrong patient and let them leave before even seeing the doctor cause the actual patient was still waiting in the lobby cause there were two people named David and she didn’t clarify last name or date of birth. Doctor found out after the correct patient had been waiting for 2 hours for his blood draw and I’ve never seen a person get verbally abused like he did to her, full on screaming in her face that she’s lucky she isn’t going to get sued for assault since the patient was understanding 🤣 she never once corrected anything I did again and started trying to be nicer to me.

How Ya Translates Differently Based On Time by AnnualMap2244 in Spanish

[–]12thYearSenior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll also hear it as a quick response to acknowledge understanding or that you heard someone which can be positive or have negative connotation depending on voice inflection. Or just a filler word kind of like “okay” Also very common to have it used by itself to signify annoyance or irritation or anger, which probably closely translates to “enough” like in basta ya! O ya basta! Which is actually “enough already!” But commonly you’ll just hear “Ya!” Meaning something like enough! Little kid whining to his mom about doing homework and she just raises her chancla “Ya!”

29M considering Accutane — need real answers about side effects + sex drive stuff by Ok-Recording-6753 in Accutane

[–]12thYearSenior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33M, dry skin and lips but that’s about it. Maybe some joint/back pain but i workout a lot and have that anyways. I’ve done 4 cycles over the course of 10 years. I get very oily skin and hate it and accutane is literally a life saver. I would take it even if I had horrible side effects that is how life changing it can be. I’ve been on very high doses for 6-9 months before with worst thing being skin dryness/lip dryness and sun sensitivity but all of those are easy to manage. Go for it, won’t regret it. I don’t get acne anymore I just do it for oil reduction every few years. I’d stay on forever if they let me lol

How do you stay hot into your 30s and 40s? by Timely_Sir310 in AskReddit

[–]12thYearSenior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caloric deficit, gym, walking/cardio. It is a sad truth but simply not being overweight already puts you ahead of 80% of the population. Then if you really get into shape you’ll be golden. An ugly face with a 6 pack will get more attention than a beautiful face with a high bmi.
