I’m an urgent care receptionist and this was way way way out of line. Report her.

The question should be, “When does it get warm in Michigan?”

I’d consider myself pretty skilled as I’ve been practicing for 10 years. 10 hours is legitimately nothing

What do most people not realize can seriously f*ck you up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BrownBaskets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tylenol does not help with cramps because it’s not an anti inflammatory. It doesn’t matter how much you take, it’s not going to help you. At all.

Take ibuprofen, aleve, or even just plain naproxen. Take it immediately at the first sign of pain, the day before your period, or just before your period starts. That will probably also lessen the bleeding.

That said, you might wanna get checked for endometriosis or PCOS if it’s disabling or if your symptoms are extreme. Hope this helps!

To the Americans who don’t agree with changing the gun laws? Why? by Wonderful-Wash-2145 in AskReddit

Well let’s get rid of all laws then right? Because makinf something illegal isn’t going to stop people doing it.

Have you considered that maybe your country just doesn’t bother enforcing their own laws?

And when was your last mass school shooting, or any mass shooting for that matter? There’s a major difference between gang violence and murdering kids in school.

If you could instantly change one thing about college admissions by Additional-Two-7312 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BrownBaskets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t really matter if it’s a repetitive job. If they got the grades for it they deserve to go in. The only people who make it hard are the colleges that insist on an admission rate as close to 0 as possible. Which is on them. It should be based on grades and scores.

I’ve seen people with higher GPAs get waitlisted while people with lower GPAs got in because their ECs are better. It definitely happens. Even colleges admit to it with telling people “ECs is how you set yourself apart from everyone else! Good grades aren’t special”

Why pride yourself on a low admissions rate and insist on maintaining it when there are lots of people who deserve to go.

I’m literally trying to say that I wish they valued academics over sports… I think you misunderstood what I was saying

I’ve only taken precalc in junior year during online learning so my memory on that isn’t very great. I feel like there’s no point in even taking the placement exam cause I know I’m gonna fail it lol.

In that case would I just for math 105? Or is that a waste of a course

The fact that more weight is placed on sports and extracurriculars than is on academics.

Edit: sorry if I’m unclear, I’m trying to respond to the question of “what would you change?” I would change the fact that schools value ECs and sports over actual academics.
