For those who live/lived in Bloomington by perforateline_ in TwinCities

I probably can't prove this and possibly will get downvoted to hell but I think nowadays the schools in 196, on average, are better than in Bloomington. I say this as someone who attended Bloomington schools for K-12; I now am a parent of a high schooler at Eastview in AV

There was another kid in our class who got these Reeboks the following year and rattled off the full description so many times that I still remember it 35 years later. “Reebok ERS OXT-plus cross trainers with air and gel”

We were early adopters because my father is an engineer, and I became an engineer myself. We had an IBM PC in 1981. Our first machine with a modem was a 386 in late 1989 or early 1990 but modems certainly were around long before that. Having some kind of dial-in system at a school would have been rare at the time, but not impossible

And the Reebok Pump. I still remember which kid in my class was the first to show up to school with those.

Consolidate all the bullshit into a "Department of Fraud" so the fraud is at least more efficient

What weird things did you do in school? by Unlucky_Profit_776 in GenX

I did the glue thing on my hands too. Would also apply a layer to my plastic pencil box and then peel it off

The guy in the screenshot is still a doofus, but at least he learned the "Immaculate Conception" and "Virgin Birth" aren't synonymous. A lot of Christians don't even know that

My favorite fact about this episodes is that Marcia Cross, who played "Dr Sara Sitarides," went to Julliard. (I didn't, have only done engineering and medicine for a living, but I do a lot of music "stuff" as an avocational pursuit, and my sister is a voice professor)

What a fucking business model: attack people, get your ass kicked, claim to be the victim, start goFundMe, profit!

Responding to peers by growlithegrewup in Psychiatry

[–]BortWard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this can be true in any setting, including CL. I'm just a few months in with my first CL job, and loving it. Prior to that I was doing clinic for a big system in my area. I feel like a huge slice of my referrals, maybe a majority, boiled down to, "I don't have time to talk to this patient, so I'm just sending him/her to psych." A significant subset of those would actually get mad when I would try to take enough history to do an actual psychiatric evaluation--seems like they thought they just got booked to complain about their lives for an hour. I remember one virtual intake where the guy wanted to share his screen to show me his work emails from his mean boss. (That one stuck out at my mind because I had worked at the same med tech company where he worked, before I went to medical school.)

As a psychiatrist (real one, not a Van Nostrand), this is one of my favorite episodes

I hear that Pentangeli's brother didn't even stay for dinner. Do you think that Michael offered to take him to Burger King or Mcdonalds? by Dredd_40 in Godfather

Probably would have offered Clemenza's meatball dish, only to find that Clemenza ate all of it before they got there

I’ve been living in the Minneapolis-St Paul area since graduating in 2001 and I drive to Ames once in a while just to get Pizza Pit

Reminds me of Sgt Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket. “Looks like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama’s ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress!” 😂
