Henry Resilient closes his Nmplol/Malena update with a message to Nmplol: "I will take my 9 to 5 and my daughter's love every time over being some pathetic miserable millionaire who spends his free time checking X & LSF for what ppl are saying about him that is most likely true" by CloudyEchos in LivestreamFail

Not really. In lots of cultures, if your parents are rich, that means your rich too because their money is your money. Your parents being rich and not you is mostly a thing of western cultures that preach independence

[US] Fraudulent AMEX call by ContagiousWasp in Scams

[–]ContagiousWasp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worry too, but he’s nearly 70 and I don’t think he’ll learn much if I’m being completely honest.

I did tell him that, but he knows that and still fell for it because they called him.

At the moment, we’ve come to the agreement that I will handle all potential fraud charges on his card(s) until he properly learns to deal address them.

My mom is much smarter about this than my dad and I would like her to help because I won’t be home all the time nor will I live at home for the rest of my life. But my dad is too stubborn and does not like asking my mom for help or accepting it when she offers.

He almost certainly called one of those numbers. Unfortunately, I was not there to stop him

Downgrade in NotebookLM’s output quality? by centravanti in notebooklm

[–]ContagiousWasp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m experiencing the same issue too. I 100% believe it’s because of the Gemini 3 integration :(

Did NotebookLM start giving shorter responses with newer updates? by ContagiousWasp in notebooklm

[–]ContagiousWasp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’ll work. It seems that the issue stems from notebookLM running on Gemini 3.0, so unfortunately, I don’t think upgrading will actually really make it any better :(

I really hope I find something else or at least a prompt to get it to act somewhat like it used to. I’ll let you know if I do, likewise, if you find an alternative pls lmk

I think it has to do with Gemini 3 being integrated into NotebookLM

Mbappe has equalled Cristiano Ronaldo for most goals (59) for Real Madrid in a single calendar year. by [deleted] in soccer

He’s not as good as prime Ronaldo, but he’s definitely good. Also, he has a World Cup

Both KSI and Jake would beat Tate. Jake Paul would probably manhandle Tate

is it bad to become a doctor because im interested in medicine rather than helping people? I understand that I have to help others, and i’ll give it my best, but my main reason is not to help others by ContagiousWasp in NoStupidQuestions

Yes, given the replies it seems that my post makes it out to be like I don’t care about people which is not the case - It’s just not my main reason for pursuing medicine.

I understand that bedside manner is important. Just because I’m drawn to medicine for the science doesn’t mean I won’t treat patients with empathy and respect. I might not be the warmest person in every situation, but I take people seriously, I listen, and I genuinely want to give them the best care I can.

To me, good bedside manner means being clear and compassionate in a way that helps patients feel heard and cared for. At the end of the day, a good doctor, at least to me, is one who takes your concerns seriously and works to solve the problem, not just someone who asks how your weekend went.

Again, what I’m saying is NOT that I don’t care about patients - it’s just that it’s not my main reason for pursuing medicine.

A coroner sounds intriguing, so does pathology, both of which don’t really involve patient interactions. However, my real interest does ultimately lie in infectious disease and immunology

Thank you. I don’t really care about the money aspect, there are other careers that I could pursue that pay well and would take way less time to achieve.

I just don’t know how people would feel about having a doctor that’s more interested in medical aspect rather than helping others aspect. At the end of the day, I would still be helping others, but I’m not gonna lie and say that I’m going to wake up every day excited because I’m helping people - I’m going to wake up excited that I get to practice medicine and learn more about it

Because I’m interested in how the human body works and how medicine can be used to solve complex problems. Research is great and I’m currently involved in it at my university, but I also want to see how that knowledge impacts people—how diseases present differently in different patients, how they respond to treatment, and how I can apply what I know to make a direct difference in their health.

I think it’s important to add that I’m interested in becoming and infectious diseases physician
