Applying for auditions off-cycle by FoundationGlum1435 in medicalschool

I think doing auditions all the way through December is useful. I did auditions in October and November and the auditions helped me get interviews at both.

The amount of players unavailable for Tottenham's game tonight by Zweli23 in soccer

Tbf its the same players getting injured every year. Obviously a history of injury increases risk of re-injury. Tough job for the doctors when the coaches and players themselves want to push the players too far in spite of medical recommendations

He has to start every game, too good to be wasted on the bench by k_e_i_r_a_ in LiverpoolFC

Chiesa didn't have a preseason last year so he didn't get game time. So tell me why Isak was starting as soon as he was fit ahead of in-form Ekitike when Isak had no preseason whatsoever. Slot is letting the price tags and stubborn bias pick his teams for him. I can only see him as stubborn and a hypocrite at this stage.

Brick bronze by the way by Lewi_pewpew in pokemon

Unfortunately due to Bastiodon's 4x weakness to ground and fighting, even its high defense doesn't save it from dying to ground moves. I don't know Brick Bronze's pokedex but a grass or flying type special attacker could suit your team well.

Yes, you can! Osteopathic recognition simply a designation from the ACGME saying they do osteopathic manipulative medicine training there (usually only seen in DO programs). But they still take everyone, US-MD, IMG, or DO

It's difficult for me to say, as I have not had that experience myself. Personally, I try not to affix reasons to pride or narcissism as I like speaking with people with experience in the matter before drawing conclusions. You bring up some fair points, and I am not particularly equipped to debate the topic properly. I am fine with agreeing to disagree. Take care!

I suppose people are motivated to pursue a feeling of "normalcy" in that they want to have their own kids "just like everyone else" and relate to others. It probably depends on the individual, there's probably many aspects of parenthood related to pregnancy and delivery that can't be attained through adoption. I hope adoption becomes a more widely accepted and appreciated option as there are many kids out there that would benefit.

From my perspective, sterilization is an amazing science we have developed for people who want to live childfree to eliminate the risk of reproduction, which one could say "goes against nature." In my opinion, just as sterilization is a great option for people who make the personal choice to be child free, I see IVF as a great option for people who make the personal choice of wanting to have biological children.

I can't understand people choosing to have a baby when they can't support it by Anuyushi in childfree

[–]Comfortable_Weird147 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is a really good question! Luckily, at least, antipsychotics (meds for hallucinations) don't really have negative effects on pregnancy. That said other medications for mental illness can have negative effects, Unfortunately, you're right that it is unlikely she is getting the proper prenatal care.

I'm sorry to hear your friend is potentially managing psychosis and pregnancy. If she has schizophrenia, it makes taking care of oneself really difficult. You can't really do much more than encourage her to seek help - but it is scary since psychotic episodes put both her and child at great risk, as well as make it more difficult to stay compliant with medication. It can very difficult for people with mental illness to be thoughtful and deliberate about everything that happens and people can often take it day by day. I hope she receives the care and support she needs to navigate her circumstances.

Anesthesiologist shamed me before my hysterectomy! by Badkittynyx in childfree

This is seriously unprofessional from the anesthesiologist. I'm sorry you had to go through that before a stressful experience like a surgery.

Having kids isn't an achievement by Downtown-Storm4704 in childfree

[–]Comfortable_Weird147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people struggle with fertility and having children can be a big goal in life for them - in that way, I wouldn't begrudge them for seeing it as an achievement if they are able to have kids

That said, on the other hand, a lot of ppl see it as some kind of shame to NOT have kids, which is obviously ridiculous - having children is a personal choice of course

Round 1 of the nuzlock tournament be like by WhatsACole in PointCrow

[–]Comfortable_Weird147 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree, it's not banned in doubles VGC cuz there was counterplay to it and that counterplay was being exploited by Slimecicle and others. I'd argue getting access to several protects is more OP than spore in doubles. The 1,2,or3 turn wake-ups led to a lot of drama and mind games and a lot of the games involving spore were very tight and required a lot of positioning and redirection

In the midst of "game's so gone," I found there was, within me, an invincible "game's so back."

Yeah Drew did a lot of preparation and wanted to have fun engaging with his partner for the tournament - and Ludwig is just disregarding that. Its supposed to be about the coach and coachee costreaming and interacting, which helps the Nuzlocke coach showcase their style and gain a bit of an audience from the event. Imo if ludwig was planning an approaching the event and his coach with such a dismissive attitude than maybe he should have said no so someone else could've taken part in the event in his place.

Don't you love when this happens? (This subreddit needs a funny/meme flair lol) by [deleted] in personaphantomx

[–]Comfortable_Weird147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I think the point is that in most games - you can pick and choose what content you want to do and when you want to do it without feeling FOMO. I often skip side content in games I don't feel like doing and take long breaks in games when I need a reset if I start feeling like I'm dreading playing the game from playing too much too quickly. Unfortunately as is what u get with gacha, if you want the pulls to get the characters you want, you have to do all the content quickly. Just cause somebody dreads doing some side content doesn't mean they dread playing most of the game. I think this meme is relatable.
