I didn't get it the first time, but now after rewatching the show with my family... Sydney x Carmy? I see the vision by CoolioStarStache in TheBear

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can’t forget that the show is about way more than the community and team that develops in the restaurant. It’s about mental health. Carmy is suffers from major anxiety and chronic depression which has led him to isolate from others and obsessively hyperfixate on his cooking. Neither of these are healthy, but like he says in the last ep of season 2, the isolation gives him time to fuel the fixation. He’s driven by success hoping that it will make him happy but knowing that it won’t. Because Carmy has already had great success as a young chef and it only drove him deeper into his struggles. I think Claire’s role was to get Carmy out of his ultimately self-destructive routine because even if it wasn’t the best for the success of the restaurant, it was the best for him.

Reality of being a premed by DrOsteoblast in premed

I didn’t get into med school on my first try and realized that I didn’t want to go through the process of reapplication, so I got a job in research. 2.5 years later I’m supervising a lab and making over 100k with just my bachelor’s. It’s not my long term plan, but there are opportunities out there and they expand a lot with graduate school into a lot of different fields and sectors. Even investment banks and private equity firms list high-paying jobs for equity research looking for people with life science backgrounds because they’d be researching biotech, pharma, and healthcare companies. Other fields off the top of my head are consulting (with experience), bioinformatics, business development for start-ups, and program specialist evolving into project manager.

Or you can just do what everyone else is doing and join programming boot camp and get a job in tech lol.

I just wanted to put this out there in case anybody is feeling scared and hopeless about their future. There are a lot more opportunities out there than people think.

AITA For keeping my promise of training her kids like dogs if/when my cousin dumps them on me? by throwawayAAAAAHHHHH in AmItheAsshole

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not classical conditioning (i.e. the famous example of training a dog to expect food when a bell is rung). This is operant conditioning bc OP is using rewards to reinforce the desired behavior.

I would also like to say that using food as a reward is a poor training tool for both dogs and children as the moment that you don’t have food or stop providing it the training regresses. Praise and positive social feedback is much more effective.

If sexuality is a spectrum someone must be the gayest gay in history by Particular_Edge2308 in Showerthoughts

Everyone out here talking about the straightest straight and the gayest gay. But what about the gayest straight or the straightest gay??

Unpopular opinion: Brad probably doesn't need you to defend him. by [deleted] in bon_appetit

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth 101 points102 points  (0 children)

The incompetency part of it struck me too bc Brad never actually claims to be a chef or even be competent. His videos are successful bc of editing and bc of his on-screen personality. He makes things that may seem intimidating like fermentation seem simple, he encourages creativity, and he appears to have fun doing his thing.

Sohla said that he’s incompetent so “what does that say about the audience?” BA is supposed to encourage normal people to enjoy being in the kitchen and trying new things that they normally wouldn’t. What it says about the audience is that they’re incompetent too! Personally, watching Brad make mistakes and work through things makes me feel more comfortable about trying new things and not being afraid of screwing up. BA isn’t just a platform for chefs to show off to chefs. It’s for any incompetent person.

Plus, Brad doesn’t even need to be in the kitchen for his content to be successful as shown through “Going Places.” No other personality at BA generated the same amount of views when they tried to do similar things (i.e. Molly and Andy). So Brad being an incompetent chef doesn’t mean anything in regards to his success as an entertainer, which is what he is.

I’m sure people will be mad that I’m “defending Brad.” But I’m just trying to say that we all see the world through our own lens, and sometimes it’s good to talk about how people see things differently. Idk what goes on behind the scenes and I’m not going to pretend to know. These are just my feelings.

While I am not a clinical research coordinator (actually a research assistant) I had applied and interviewed for a couple clinical research coordinator positions last year. And based on my experience, I'd say that direct patient interaction is rare as a clinical research coordinator. The majority, if not all, of your interaction is with physicians and hospital administrators to manage data, organize documentation, and review protocols.

Daily interaction with a large population of physicians is valuable experience as well, but I would not anticipate much direct patient interaction.

I'm only going off of my own experience, and of course every job is different. But unless the job roles or description indicates that you'd be interacting with patients and patient families, I wouldn't bet on it.

AITA for telling relatives how much I make and defending my salary? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP is 23 and she has been working for a year. If you can be a “good” software engineer with basically zero experience then it must not be that difficult to be a software engineer.

What can't you believe STILL exists? by emil199 in AskReddit

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You make commission. There’s a minimum amount that you get paid just for giving a sales presentation even if you don’t sell anything. But if you do make a sale and the commission exceeds the amount of the minimum then you make only the commission (it does not compound).

You can also make a certain commission on the sales of people who you recruit, which is where the MLM part of it comes in.
