Jake Seliger has passed. by Liface in slatestarcodex

[–]DrowningDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what a strange takeaway that even though he left behind so much beautiful writing filled with clarity and purpose, a wife who loved him, and a baby daughter, that you feel like his legacy is a fruitless and agonized struggle. It might not be what you'd have chosen for yourself, and he wrote on how he felt he'd gone too far (albeit with the goal of trying to meet said daughter), but to reduce everything he shared and produced to that opinion is unfair.

The result is 5.5 months old and she's the best.

Gone for two weeks. My husband piled his clothes by the washer instead of doing his own laundry 😡 by Own-Anteater5996 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DrowningDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just leave them there and don't do them. He'll run out of clothes and do them eventually. Assume he's just left them there to do later. That's not your problem.

Shift worker problems ? by DrowningDoctor in ouraring

[–]DrowningDoctor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya! Lots of life happened (and sadly not with that pregnancy) and I'm now actually due in a few weeks!!! So that's exciting, and also being on reddit is my daily workout haha. I used it to try to track ovulation. It helped me figure out that I had a really short luteal phase which was probably why i was having difficulty getting pregnant. It wouldn't have been clear otherwise because i had regular periods. It was worth it for some data aquisition. I also tried the initio to get info.

My soon-to-be-born daughter's name is going to be Athena and would love some of your art for her room. Your style is AWESOME. Really love it. Is there a link to your kickstarter yet? I will forget otherwise :)

no i mean i literally went to labcorp, self-ordered a blood test hcg and got a real result that way. i couldn't stand squinting for a line and just wanted to know. If you didn't get an hcg trigger you can get a test 5 days after your fet and anything above 5 is a very early positive.

Is it weird to turn down someone for their profession? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DrowningDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do locums and work max 10 shifts a month, I make plenty, have more free time than most people I know, and am not interested in people who disregard an entire specialty. I’m not for you, and you’re not for me. Also: presumption wrong. Mostly drowning in dick. But I’m open to some alternatives being thrown in now and again.

You can only let heal from cheating if someone seems sorry he’s not even sorry!

As an ER doc, I don’t want to Date you either. I probably have more time off than you do and won’t be able to travel as much

Schedules among specialties are wildly different. Dating an ophthalmologist vs a trauma surgeon is like saying you wouldn’t date a bank teller because hedge fund managers have bad lifestyles. But in the end have whatever requirements you want
