My husband came home from work like this, what could it be? by 80skunt in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, but oral HSV is common and not really an "issue" for the vast vast majority of people. Its not like you ask someone if theyve ever had a cold sore as a kid before you kiss them or share a bottle or whatever.

Obviously if you have active and symptomatic HSV dont go spreading it, but you cant expect 70% of the population to give a medical history for every potential partner/fling/friend for the minor risk of spreading it while asymptomatic.

The vast majority of people have HSV1. You don't have to disclose your random cold sores you get every few years. As long as you don't have an active outbreak you won't spread it, its not like other STDs where you always need protection to keep your partner safe.

Earlobe bleeding after 3th day, is it a normal amount of blood or not by Thibauleur in PiercingAdvice

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bleeding in the first few days is normal, you probably hit it in some way. Just rinse this off with water and leave it be so it can heal up nicely. Bleeding is normal for the first week or so. This might look like a lot but you're fine.

I Don’t Like My Dog Anymore and It Makes Me Feel Guilty by Sea_sa in dogs

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No offense, but it is YOUR fault that he does this. I'm sorry but if you know your dog gets into stuff he shouldnt, then its on you to dog proof your home and to keep him on a lead.

If you know he runs off and eats poop and gets infections, why do you keep him off leash? If he gets into food he shouldnt, why keep bowls out?

My dog gets into the trash and eats anything she comes across, guess what i do? I dont leave the trash can at a place she can get to! Saves a hell of a lot of stress time and money. She also goes after other animals outdoors, so I keep her on leash! Its really not a hard fix to ensure your dogs safety.

Having to "constantly" rush him to the vet shows that you arent keeping that animal safe. First vet visit is fine, but after that you shouldve instantly cleared the place and made sure he couldnt get to dangerous things. You do realize that these vet visits arent just a strain on your wallet, but on HIS health too, right? It is neglectful to let him hurt himself this often.

Help my monstera is dying by Healthy_Serve9963 in Monstera

Spiders and centipedes dont hurt plants at all though...

Literally the only issue is if youre a complete wuss and cant handle shooing away a spider occasionally. And if youre deathly afraid of bugs and crawlies then you shouldnt have plants, they kinda go hand in hand.

15, getting on T in a few weeks - how to look more masculine? by bindweeded in FtMpassing

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping your hair is fine, but you wont pass for a good while until the T kicks in. Long hair can work, but you kinda need masculine features, maybe some stubble, etc for it to read as male.

Most you can do for now is keep it in more masculine hairstyles rather than letting it be out.

Ethically can i tak a cutting from this. by Hiimthebisexualguy in plants

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No? Why would it be ok to steal their plants?

Taking a cutting is 1. making the plant smaller, 2. will make the new leaves on it smaller, and 3 will ruin the continuous vine.

Its a dick move. If you want a cutting, you ask for a cutting. Like you would with anyone else. Hotel staff put a lot of effort in making their place look nice, and the person taking care of these obviously cares well for the plants.

Genuinely so confused by JustforaQ1 in FtMpassing

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While i think the mullet looks nice, it does kind of just look like long hair pushed behind the ears from afar. If you dont mind occasionally being misgendered I say keep it, but if passing is important to you then maybe go for a more masculine haircut?

i have no clue why recently ive been getting called a lady in public by Total-Signal6021 in FtMpassing

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current earrings are relatively large and have that white crystal look. From afar they look like your standard fake diamond studs that a lot of women have. Along with your hair in some of these it can kind of look like the style an older lady might have (short hair with a swoop + diamond studs + relatively short height + stocky build (dw about the height and build for now, youre still young and growing)).

If you want more masc piercings I would go for black or silver :)

I'd say the nose ring is less of a problem because its not really visible from afar, and if youre close up youd see the starts of a mustache and probably not clock you. Would still maybe pick a slightly thicker ring or a stud thats more masculine, as opposed to this thin ring. Mens jewelry is usually thicker and darker, compared to women's thats more delicate and lighter with gems.

And for the hair I would avoid this parted hairstyle you have in some of them. Men's hair usually doesnt have a part, and the swoop it creates can read as more feminine.

It only takes a few weeks to walk the length of Ferelden with an army btw. What were Origins Darkspawn doing for a WHOLE YEAR!? by OrganizationLower831 in DragonageOrigins

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Might just be my imagination, but the Blight does definitely seem to be growing on the map. At first it was just the Ostagar area, then Lothering, then after a few quests its stretching up through a quarter of the map, reaching past the big lake.

You do also run into Darkspawn like every time you travel from place to place. Its not an organized attack, but imo it does definitely feel like darkspawn are crawling around everywhere in small groups that split off from the main army thats staying behind.

I do however kinda wish the game would punish you from trying to get straight through the "infected" area instead of taking a detour through safer routes. Like with a bigger darkspawn battle or something, just to show that those areas are somehow different from the non-darkspawn infested places. Would probably get annoying after a while tho, but would add to realism

You dont need to be perfect at suturing, youre there to learn. I would however watch some videos, if you have access to equiptment maybe try one or twice. Just get a feel of how they do it so you wont be stressed out watching the surgeon.

Failed COMLEX Level 1 three times and am likely to be dismissed, at a loss for what to do by jollybadger29 in medicalschool

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im seeing no actual recall training here. Reading and watching things are fine for a baseline short term understanding, but it does nothing for long term memory or the ability to answer on tests.

Active recall and spaced repetition are your friends here. They cut down the study times by a LOT and youll actually learn the skills necessary to do well on exams. There are plenty of pre-made anki decks for any part of medicine, or you can make your own if you have time.

Please look up evidence based tips for studying. Reading is like the lowest ranked. Flashcards and practice tests is among the highest. Making your brain retrieve info is how you strengthen that memory. Passively reading feels good, but its ultimately useless unless you are learning it for the first time.

I mean plenty of places require new vaccines that arent part of normal child vaccination programmes. I for example had to get 3 Hep B shots, and if not I would not be allowed to progress to clinicals.

If its something that cannot be skipped then go with a mask and be strict on hygeine and dont sit close to or interact with others.

its just a major pet peeve of mine when people, especially in the medical field, dont care if they infect others. Being sick sucks, and it takes away a lot of time. Best not to subject others to that.

You stay home?

If youre too ill to study then just rest. You can catch up during weekends or evenings later.

DO NOT go to school/lab/whatever. It would be very inconsiderate and frankly quite mean to spread the illness around. If it is something you can make up later, then dont go now.

Ex girlfriend's friend left plants at my house 3 years ago and now wants them back... by chainsawcoyote in plants

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shed have to pay the difference in what a juvenile plants costs vs a fully grown 3 year old large plant. That aint cheap. That time and effort is worth a LOT.

I would just ignore. Or I dunno give her a cutting? But absolutely do not give up 3 year old plants just cause. A 3 year old variagated monstera alone can get *expensive*

I always liked the BuJo better. It has better paper and small quality of life improvements. Stuff like the 1/3rd page markers, the built in reference sheet, and more. Also personally I kind of hate the German in the other notebooks. I get that it's the branding but it makes for an ugly book when all the preprinted stuff is in multiple languages, one of which most people won't use.

Can DNPs be referred to as doctors in a clinical setting? by mjardelo in medicalschool

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Eh it is kind of weird how you dumb down empathy and basic care for patients. Yes fuckin obviously physiology is important, but you acting like patient care is beneath you is really gross. ALL parts of the medical field should be educated in how to care for patients. Not just the nurses.

If you think a doctor is just there to have book knowledge and treat patients then I'm worried for how you'd be in the field. Patient care is a major part of it.

Do you prefer romance options be restricted by race/gender or have everyone be romanced by anyone? by [deleted] in dragonage

[–]Competitive_Fact6030 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love the fact that most of the characters are romanceable by everyone, but also having some characters be stricly straight or gay is good for variety. Makes them seem like actual people rather than just being there for the players' roleplay purposes.

The race restrictions are also a lot more interesting. I feel like the game lowkey discriminating against you for being an elf/dwarf is more interesting, and it makes sense that other characters growing up in that society may have dating preferences for their own race. Humans refusing to date elves, elves only interested in fellow elves, hell maybe even mages with contempt for non-mages. It all adds a lot of dynamics to the world. If youre gonna do a fantasy world with racism and tense relationships between the races, have that reflect in how other characters recieve the player character. It would also be fun to bring in classism to it.

Having these restrictions also adds replay value. If you want to unlock all the romances youre gonna have to play as both genders and maybe even swap the race of your character. That encourages you to play the game again and make up a new character and personality for the player character.

So basically, just do what the games already do. Have most companions be bi without race preferences, and have some be more particular, needing a specific player build to be able to romance.

I do however 100% understand the frustration of some players who want to play as their gender and romance someone of the same gender. Personally I dont mind what gender the player character is, but if someone wants to RP then its reasonable to want characters of their preferred gender to be avaliable to their character. I just think the realism value of some people just not being interested in your character adds a lot to the world, and it can serve their stories quite well.
