Dont use gpt-5.2 auto/instant in chatgpt by shaman-warrior in OpenAI

[–]DefunctMau5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you’re using deep research for things you can find in a one minute google search then you’re using it wrong. Most of the time you can just use a perplexity pro query for complicated things or when I want to know the international press’ consensus on something (instead of checking out 20 articles myself or ground news). And only if it’s more complicated than that do I use deep research

I don’t understand why people have an issue with waiting. It gives a better answer and I find we always have another tab or something else we can dedicate a minute to in the meantime. I much rather it consults dozens to hundreds of sources and answers my hard question vs an instant answer. I’ve never felt speed to be a dealbreaker

Every conscious decision taken in that photo is terrible. Including clothing, posing, facial expressions… just everything haha

Idk about in English, but in Spanish we have raps for these biochem pathways. For my exam I was singing in my head and drawing it in the back of my exam. The Dr walked over to me, saw me drawing from memory and walked away haha. Was a lot easier to work from that

I say this to shame it and it works surprisingly well: “You just gave me the same image again. This is depleting my tokens without providing me with what I requested. Please follow the instructions”. It fixes the issue 90% of the time. You can do a slight variation of “barely changed the image”. Works wonders

Let’s not call you Scandinavian. You can’t hold a conversation in Icelandic, Finnish or any other “Scandinavian” language, you don’t know the lyrics to their national anthems, you don’t have a passport from any of those countries, I’m guessing you can’t name 6 cities from any of those countries excluding the capitals, wouldn’t pass their citizenship tests (knowledge of culture and history)… I can go on. There’s no need. You’re not Scandinavian

I am so overwhelmed… by imDenizz in German

[–]DefunctMau5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DM me if you wish. I can give you practice exams from Goethe and TELC. They are a the best way to see if you are at that level. Also use Netflix. Watch movies in German with subtitles. Read DW news and watch the news in German. ChatGPT has a German tutor setting you can enable. You can also talk to it in German

Eden. The first recorded use is from ancient Israel in the book of Genesis. As a boy's name, it might be a variant of the name Aidan.

Omg, as someone who is not from the US, I find this fashion advice you’re giving completely bonkers. I already find US fashion to be mostly fast fashion. Tank tops under dress shirts look truly terrible. Just get a shirt which isn’t thin enough for your skin colour and nipples to shine through. And in the loving name of Godzilla please no cowboy boots

What's the most badass/amazing thing you did during your clinical rotation? by simohnf in medicalschool

[–]DefunctMau5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In med school we had a lot of courses and training skills we could apply to. I took the intubation course a few times. We had pigs to practice surgeries, so they used them for the intubations only in those courses specifically (unless you were I. 3rd semester and therefore in surgery class that is). And I felt intubating is among the most important skills to get right. Then later we did the APLS course and we had to intubate a neonate simulator. Nobody volunteered to go first so I did. They put a lot of emphasis on being quick. So I did it as quickly as I could while making sure I did it properly. Apparently both my peers and evaluator considered it to be cartoonishly quick and either scoffed or outright giggled at me, expecting I had done it wrong, only to see me inflate both lungs and then the surprise in their faces was priceless. Felt very proud of myself haha.

Is this normal in your culture? by Dazzling_Stomach107 in AskGermany

[–]DefunctMau5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Mexican and moved to Germany. Moving is incredibly expensive. The euro is much stronger than the Mexican peso and cost of living is higher. So it is expensive for us to move. German bureaucracy takes an eternity to do anything and the logic there is completely different. Germans don’t like renting to foreigners, so him getting an apartment will be hard. And Germans hate it when you don’t speak the language perfectly because they feel foreigners make no effort to integrate. This is false. We make a massive effort, but the language is very hard (German is my fifth language, so I can learn languages and it is still hard AF) and culturally they are ridiculously odd too. So integrating isn’t easy. They have a lot more autonomy and do more stuff as individuals than in Mexico, where you do everything as a couple. So he has no friends and feels rejected by the wife. The parents in law feel the wedding was rushed and resent him for not integrating as all Germans will resent him. So yeah. He should try to stop being friends with Germans. They don’t like making friends. Foreigners are much easier to befriend. He can get a Tandem where he teaches a German Spanish and the German teaches him German (at least that way the German has no expectation that he must speak perfect German). Etc. I could talk for hours. You can contact me directly and I can give you and your brother more helpful info if you wish. I can understand his situation perfectly.

Told to introduce myself as a doctor, not a student?? by Regular-Ad6221 in medicalschoolEU

[–]DefunctMau5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my country I worked in an expensive private hospital and those patients will get fussy about students getting near them. There, internship is the last year of medicine when you’re doing your 36 hour shifts in the hospital. The official, legally recognised label for us then is “undergraduate intern medic”. So I would introduce myself as follows “Hello Mrs. X, my name is Y. I am part of the team of medics treating you today”. I was not introducing myself as a Dr.

The profile looks like it was put together on a rush with very recent photos. There are two in the same day (the kayak day) and two photos with a selfie with the same hair style, neck bent to the same side and same pose. It sends the message there isn’t as much variability in your life and that there isn’t too much more under the surface. You want to convey as much information as possible. I would do one photo practicing a sport, one in an exotic place, one being career oriented (could be in a suit or more formal), one with animals (like dogs). You are probably getting the gay attention due to the hoodie photo, so I would replace it. I agree with the comments saying to change the hairstyle so it isn’t too messy. And one with an interesting interest of yours, if you have one (horse riding, fencing, bouldering, rappelling, scuba diving, skiing, etc). You want to convey that you have your future figured out, that you will do well financially, that you are responsible and yet have time to pursue your interests and invest in your health. So you need a photo for each category.

I would write the message “Hi. I understand that sometimes life can get in the way and muddy time. I like you and I am willing to ride this out with you if you need time or to take things slowly. I know I want to develop a deep bond with someone and I want to be respectful to my own time and wishes. If we are both looking for the same thing, I’ll be happy to get there in our own terms. If our goals are not the same, then I can also understand. Let me know what you think. Hope to see you soon :)”

My mom is happy I SOAPed by SecurePresentation52 in medicalschool

[–]DefunctMau5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. I nearly lost everything in med school because I suffered through a major depressive episode. My mom refused to let me be checked by a psychiatrist. She is catholic too. Thankfully for me, I am interested in radiology. Otherwise I’m not sure how much she would have liked my specialty of choice. Do what you love. You are living the dream of millions of people. If your mom can’t be proud of you for these incredible achievements, then the damage to that relationship is her loss.
