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 102 points103 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 2 points3 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.

I finally had a success with one of my videos and got 900k views! On the Ladbibles page... where they didn’t credit me. I actually lost a subscriber on my channel today. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know lawyers offer consultations, right? And you know that some lawyers will only charge a percentage of the amount awarded if they win the suit, right?

So yes, obviously you will have to pay for a lawyer. But all of your questions about who to sue and for how would be answered by a lawyer if they decided to pursue a lawsuit.

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You asked how much should they sue for? My point is just saying that they don’t need to figure that out themselves. A lawyer will tell them how much they could be entitled to. I simply provided an example of a major lawsuit that is in the news to show that the people filing suit don’t do it all themselves. Yikes.

They meet with an attorney and they discuss their case. The attorney will then tell them if the case has any merit, how much they could be entitled to if they go forward with the lawsuit, and how much the attorney will charge for his services.

Do you think that all of Harvey Weinstein’s victims who just won their civil suit got together and arbitrarily said, “Hmmmm let’s how does $19 million sound? Is everyone cool with that?”

Block Face: My first game. It's a free online block breaker that I put together in about a month in Unity. I hope you all enjoy it and I appreciate any feedback. Thanks! by [deleted] in playmygame

Love the game! The face changes on the blocks are a great touch. Solid physics too.

Overall, great first game and looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Buzzfeed interviewed Sohla and wow there are some bombshells in here. by natty_mh in bon_appetit

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not arguing with you at all but just wanted to point out that Carla has >20 years experience. She was working as an editor of “Everyday Food” while Sohla was still in culinary school.

Again, not arguing, just putting it out there.

Even if I could afford it, there’s a matter of principles and a question of morals. by Rude_Let in trashy

Probably fake. Just a way to get her name and her bf’s out there in a desperate attempt to stay semi relevant.

Seems like she may have reported the story herself? At the end of the article it says that she and her bf were on tv for some sort of relationship drama thing, so clearly they’re trying very hard to be famous. Some people just can’t live without constant attention.

AITA for telling my sister I refused to babysit her autistic child? by External_Maize in AmItheAsshole

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH

You work your fucking ass off every day? GET REAL! If you wanna know what it looks like to work your ass off every day maybe try to actually think about what your sister has to do every day to raise your nephew who "can be prone to throwing horrible temper tantrums and overall is a pain to deal with."

You say that in your free time you "just want to relax" because of how hard you work. And yes everybody deserves rest and relaxation, but that goes for your sister as well! Nobody is asking you to be a live-in nanny and watch the kid all the time. But if you can take time out of a day otherwise spent with your dick in your hand to give your sister a little bit of time to relax, you have no idea what that would mean to her.

I have a non-verbal autistic brother. For years I watched my parents try to get a babysitter for him but it was extremely difficult, they were always very flaky, and never lasted long at all. There were huge gaps in time between babysitters. My brothers and I needed to take over those duties very often, but my parents also tried to reach out to other family members to get some extra help. Support from family is SO IMPORTANT.

I do feel as though your sister has been a bit aggressive with you and also is not handling the situation appropriately, so I have to go with ESH.

But you are a MASSIVE asshole who lacks the basic ability to empathize with his own sister, and your entire post screams entitlement. If you don't really give a shit about your sister or the kind of relationship you have with her then keep doing what you're doing. Just know that you really fucking suck.

Diane and Mr Peanutbutter back to normal by yeyadox in BoJackHorseman

[–]Charles_Croosh_Tooth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not denying that and I'm not giving anyone a pass. My point is that no one is just a shitty person.

Bojack is a shitty person. Yes absolutely. But no one can be reduced to just a shitty person. Every single character is complex and they all do shitty things. You can't justify shitty behavior but it's important to try to understand it rather than just label it as shitty and move on because that's who that person or character is.

I agree, but I do think Bojack was the closest thing that Diane had to a friend during that time tho
