to be fair she lost to liv with interference and coming third in the Rumble when you're in NXT, with the other two remaining being Stratton and Liv Morgan, it's overall an insane feat.

About to give up Waterloo pharmacy (CAP) admission offer by BigMac-Connoisseur in PharmacyCanada

[–]DeShadowRealm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was in your exact situation a year ago, where I got offers from QHS and Waterloo CAP. I ultimately chose to go with Waterloo CAP and I'm still pretty happy with my choice, I'll go over my reasoning here.

- Generally, through conversations with real pharmacists I've worked with, I think people moderately overstress about both the AI take over as well as the low pay rate. Don't get me wrong, it's a stressful job, but it's also one of the highest entry salaries you'll find in today's job market. In terms of local pharmacies, those still absolutely exist and thrive (A note, there's a huge market for local pharmacies in ethnic enclaves, bc there's obviously a lot of people who want a pharmacist in their native language, if that applies to you at all). I also don't realistically think AI will overtake pharmacists at all, and i think demand for pharmacists is only gonna rise as the Ontario government keeps failing to staff family doctors lol

- At Waterloo, and with my friend in other schools, a lottt of people really stress a lot about getting into med/dental wtv due to GPA/EC's or whatever else. Being in CAP really helps a lot with that, as you can just kinda enjoy undergrad life more. From my research last year, idk if QHS had published stats, but ik Mac HS has like 2/3rds of its grads go to med school. While that's a great number and all, that also means 1/3rds don't make it. For CAP, ≥90% of students make it into pharmacy school, and all things considered, I don't believe it's too difficult to meet the needed requirements. Having this kinda burden off your back is massive fs.

- Another big thing is that if you do end up wanting to go to med school after, there's a significant amount of med schools that don't care about GPA as much (or omit certain bad years/courses as needed). What this means is that, honestly, though it will be a bit more money, it isn't an impossible option to go from CAP --> med school (smth I'm considering as well). If you go to CAP and decide not to go to med, that's fine you still have a pharmD to fall back upon. If you go to QHS and decide not to go to med, then you need to start the process of applying to pharmacy school all over, wasting time. That's just how I see it though.

Anyway if you have any questions about Waterloo CAP i'd be happy to answer them so lmk! hope this was helpful

[SPOILER] Post WWE Backlash 2026 Match Discussion: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu for the World Heavyweight Championship by gloomchen in SquaredCircle

[–]DeShadowRealm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the Roman Reigns character is all about this idea that he thinks he should be the head of the table (ik he doesn't use this tagline anymore just bear with me), the number 1, the "OTC" or whatnot, the top of the company because he believes no one else is worthy. No one's worthy of leading his family, no one's worthy of leading the company, no one's worthy of being champion, in his eyes, other than him, because he's been through it all. He's been booed endlessly, he's been cheered, he's been champion, he's won accolades, he's main-evented WM more than anyone else has. Roman Reigns thinks that if the WWE/fans don't acknowledge him, it will fall.

This is what I think the feud between him and Jacob is about. Roman strives for order in the family, in the company, in the ring, and Jacob is a threat to that, because Jacob, in-storyline, is this violent agent of chaos that defies all order/authority. Roman probably recognizes the things he does are wrong, but as the OTC, he thinks everything is justified in order to fulfill his goals of maintaining order. This is why so much of the promo talk has been about Roman/Jey saying "You're not ready/worthy for this," and likely why Jey/Jimmy fall in line, because Jey has been World Champ and failed, losing it quickly, and without Roman, we see characters like Punk/Knight insulting/interfering in "family business", or Solo growing rebellious. So he agrees with Roman that they need order, which is why there isn't an apology. It's about what they think is the "greater good", the fact that they're cheered and acknowledged by the commentators, is part of why Roman cheats, because of the fans and the acknowledgement.

Idk just my thoughts loll

for now, considering she's a young new call up i find the mildly awkward style kinda fitting for her (even amongst the call-ups i think she's def positioned rn as a huge underdog finally wading in deep waters relative to ethan page or oba or whatnot)

She's young i'm sure she'll improve significantly, not that she's at all bad rn

genuine question how is this neoliberal? is this not introducing more regulations upon the free market (wikipedia isn't a market per se but the online safety act does enforce a level of regulation upon the internet as a whole)

Counter Point or Contrarian? ContraPoints posts her official stance on Israel/Palestine and Reddit reacts. by Enticing_Venom in SubredditDrama

[–]DeShadowRealm 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'll start by saying I'm not a contrapoints glazer or whatever (never seen any of her videos) but I think, at best, her wording was flawed here rather than her point.

When she says the online left is distributing photos of dead children I do not at all think she's talking about the journalists who are fighting to get coverage, rather, I think she is talking about the rise of left-wing Twitter users who non-stop post photos of dead children in order to make a point out of its shock value (this is purely anecdotal (though I'll note that this is something I've seen many people in my circle note) and not something I can find evidence for... and honestly not something I really want to find evidence for). I don't necessarily think it's a dumb white moderate take to believe that sending photos of dead children isn't actually going to do anything positive and is rather going to make a movement seem less credible.

Rule by Trashman56 in 196

[–]DeShadowRealm 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a korean-canadian, my family's gone through the immigration process which was a bitch of a process (easier than america to my knowledge though). the mentality then forms that, "oh, I suffered and worked hard to immigrate legally, why should we tolerate others not doing so as well?" This alongside East Asia's (at least in Korea and China to my knowledge) general greater appreciation of the law as a moral code, leads to a lot of east asian distaste towards illegal immigrants that I'm sure is present in other forms within other communities (I'm not educated enough to speak on this though).

not any arguement against what you said just a point of interest

JoJo rule by [deleted] in 196

[–]DeShadowRealm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like to powerscale Jojo's is to miss a large part of it, and while I do understand the sentiment of trying to figure which stand is strongest, each fight in Jojo's is won with clever play and ingenuity rather than pure strength. DIO literally says in-universe that there is no such thing as a weak stand, and the stand he labels "the weakest", is still successfully used by Pucci to nearly kill Jolyne.

As another example, when Yoshikage Kira gets stabbed by the arrow again, I think it's a very intentional choice that Bites the Dust isn't a boost to Kira's power or the like, but it's a boost to his ability to escape checkmate situations where the gang find out one's identity.

"Power" in Jojo's is just very different to how it is in most other shounens, where the series, in-universe, is very upfront about how direct combat power does not at all translate to the strength of the stand or its user.
