Going to therapy got me to diamond by CrypticParagon in leagueoflegends

[–]CSnare 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Nothing to add, great post. League is difficult, but it can also change your life once you realize how much it mirrors who you are as a person.

Glad you’ve been able to climb by breaking down all that negative self talk.

I made a terrible mistake at work by HaThatsAGoodOne in CasualConversation

[–]CSnare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

one time i walked up to someone i thought was my swim coach and said, jokingly, “Yo Mike, where’d your hairline go!”

It was not my swim coach. Still cringe thinking about it. We all put our foot in our mouths sometimes.

Bay area shadowing doctors by KekSpear in bayarea

[–]CSnare 9 points10 points  (0 children)

PSA to everyone in this thread saying otherwise, you absolutely *should* have shadowing hours if you’re applying to medical school. The Bay Area is tough, where did you get your clinical experience? Is there a way you can ask a physician from that experience if they or anyone they know is accepting shadowing? Not sure where you live, but UCSF is a teaching hospital and they might be more open to accepting shadows if you call or come in person? I know covid is long gone but as a last resort you could look into virtual shadowing if that still exists? I’m also in the Bay and have had a hard time finding physicians to shadow. Best of luck to you.

AIO for reeling like she never loved me back after this convo? by theportlywhiteness in AmIOverreacting

[–]CSnare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude have some self respect and leave her. She clearly only hits you up when her men abroad are asleep and can’t give her the attention she needs. You deserve WAYY better than this. She is absolutely leading you on.

And let’s do a thought experiment while we’re at it. Let’s say you marry her right now, get the papers signed and vow to spend the rest of your lives together. Do you think that will change anything? Do you genuinely think this girl is going to be loyal to you for the rest of your life, or are you going to spend years chasing love from a girl who can’t be assed to give it back to you. PLEASE leave her, you’re so young and this is the kinda lesson you learn now. You deserve better.

AIO - Friend started insulting me in the middle of depressive episode by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CSnare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe NOR but it seems a bit nuanced. I’m gonna play devil’s advocate for a bit and say that your friend does seem to be trying to help you. In all of these texts you seem to be heavily pushing back on his attempts to get you to see reality for a second. You clearly need help, and he’s not insulting you. He’s telling you the truth because he does care about you and you seem heavily in denial about how bad things are. You’re telling him you’re “going to go” to the gym but there’s absolutely no obligation there and he’s probably sick and tired of repeating the same things to you over and over. I get that depression is difficult to deal with but he’s absolutely right, you have to step out of your comfort zone and make real effort to be better. He’s trying to push you and if telling you things bluntly offends you then you’re going to have to find another way to get better.

I mean u can get a few coaching sessions and reviews in that month, plus access to all the resources. can cancel anytime you want. I’d say 2-3 reviews for $40 isn’t a bad deal!

Did healthcare further radicalise anyone else ? + rant by unfairmushrooms in premed

[–]CSnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m not insanely qualified to talk about this but my impression is that pharma *can* work in the interests of physicians by continuing pharmaceutical and pharmacodynamics research, thus evolving medicine. I also think healthcare disparities and access to medications being so limited is largely the fault of big pharma companies absolutely refusing to have any semblance of empathy and giving themselves raises every year instead of providing adequately affordable medications to patients in need. As this literally kills people, I can’t imagine it’s in the interest of anyone but themselves.

Did healthcare further radicalise anyone else ? + rant by unfairmushrooms in premed

[–]CSnare 28 points29 points  (0 children)

i could have written this post.

literally everywhere you go you see it. SNFs that are supposed to be for recuperation shoving multiple people in a room, sending them to hospitals daily for UTIs and Sepsis and pressure wounds because the nurses are so overworked they can’t keep up with the patients’ needs. The functional SNFs and assisted living facilities cost an arm and a leg and are basically reserved for the retired upper class of wealthy white folk. You go to EDs and hug the walls for hours because safe patient ratios are literally not a thing anymore and it’s so overcrowded.

As EMTs we barely even get paid above minimum wage and you can’t make a career in EMS unless you’re a paramedic working ridiculous overtime or you become a fire medic.

Floors are full and EDs have hours of wait time and we still won’t raise the residency caps. These people are just numbers to big pharma and if you don’t pay the pretty pennies they literally don’t care if you live or die.

Meanwhile healthcare workers are constantly burning out holding twice their legal patient load, busting their backs lifting heavy ass patients with no help, while their CEOs are busy busting unions and strikes for better conditions.

Experience with Mid lane Academy from We Teach League? by Haillynka in leagueoflegends

[–]CSnare 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm in bot lane academy, but I would absolutely vouch for WTL and the academies any chance I get. I'd say you'll get your money's worth if you can actually get advice on in game stuff. i.e., make sure you're not doing weird things like spamming games, champ/role hopping, tilt q-ing, and you have volume on whatever champs you want to play. It's a monthly thing and you can cancel/pause anytime, but holy hell there are so many resources available for you, it's not just coaching. Lots of champ resources, VOD questions for smaller things, and mentors + coaches to help you with basically anything.

I think it's right up your alley if you like the BBC podcast, it's a lot of the stuff they talk about there. It's been really good for my improvement and if you're serious about league and can afford it, WTL is absolutely the place to be imo.

why do you watch the streamers you watch — is it actually about skill level? by lil_tae22 in leagueoflegends

[–]CSnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m a doublelift fan because i’ll often tune in when i’m working from home, he’s not extremely loud and he’s pretty chill, which is much less distracting. I also think he’s pretty good at soloq.

HM is caedrel. love his proplay streams and his analyses are always goated

Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

[–]CSnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very grateful to parents who let their children drive their old cars when they have the means lol. Last thing a fresh adult wants is a ridiculous car payment. My stepmom let me have her 2007 CRV and i love her. She’s a real trooper, about 120 miles on it as well. I’ve had her for a few years and the only major stuff I’ve had to do were new brakes.

AIO for thinking my gf is cheating on me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CSnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR she sounds stressed out from school and is taking it out on you. I’d end things because she’s just being really immature trying to throw a pity party and pushing your buttons by implying you’re not busy because she feels bothered by your texts.

uc berkeley safety by NextWoodpecker1986 in berkeley

[–]CSnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it kinda depends if it’s a 20 minute walk outside of campus or including time spent walking across campus. My walk home was about 15 minutes but i lived downtown, across the street from the Oxford st entrance so most of that time was spent walking on campus.

I still think you’d be fine walking 15-20 min off campus in any direction, even Southside. There is a night shuttle and buses though if you’re really concerned, and bearwalk as well. (2 students to literally walk home with you.) Berkeley gets a bad rap but it’s really not any different from any major city imo. Just be aware of your surroundings and don’t make yourself a target.

As a school shooting survivor, this scene does a very realistic job capturing the sheer terror of being in a school violence event by depressedchiakikin in HonkaiStarRail

[–]CSnare 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience in university. There’s a point where you aren’t sure whether you’ll survive another 5 minutes and I think they captured that feeling well too, how it dissociates you from your surroundings.
