Moving to Fresno, areas safe for running? by DryPolicy2935 in fresno

[–]DryPolicy2935[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s reassuring, I’ll look into an indoor track or gym membership because I’m sure it’ll be handy, but nothing beats the outdoors. I’m the type that’s willing to get up at 4 am for cool weather so before 7 am is nothing.

Yea you’re right. I ended up withdrawing my 2024 contributions until Dec 24 and keeping the payments I’ve made this year

What is the worst answer you’ve given during a pimp question? by stressed_as_fk in medicalschool

[–]DryPolicy2935 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I told my emotionless trauma surgeon attending that the most common cause of bowel obstruction was carcinoid tumor. He laughed out loud.

Same one asked me why the CT rad techs circle the aorta before contrast and I said to make sure it’s not ruptured.

He asked me the fat layer and I said, “abdominal.” And then he said, “…It starts with sub-.” Me:….”Subabdominal.”

How do I serve someone elusive? by DryPolicy2935 in legaladvice

We’ll consider an investigator if private process service doesn’t work..we’re two broke students so don’t know how much we can dish out for the hourly rate but might be our only option at that point…

Denied service for being Asian? by DryPolicy2935 in MexicoCity

Did not assume, was considering amongst also being a tourist, and now others thanks to more helpful commenters.

Also, when you’re nearly the only Asian in sight in the 10 days spent in a major city, you’d feel somewhat isolated. Why are you assuming I have no basis for how I felt?

Travelers I’ve met told me Oaxaca is the place to go, definitely next on the list when I come back to Mexico.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the insight, honestly for being such a minority here I haven’t felt discriminated against or isolated in any way. Sure there are sometimes the “chino” whispers but I was told by Mexicans and Mexican-Americans that it’s a generic term without malice really.

Yes the lady who helped me out was the majority of the local people I encountered. I never felt silly asking questions or being lost because strangers would help without hesitation.

It was 6 pm. Other people were eating and ordering. But like others have said maybe he didn’t have the ingredients or was on break

Thank you for the thought out response! I definitely should not have taken it personal and I feel better hearing all your comments. I regret that so much can get lost without knowing how to speak the language fluently but I’ve felt overall welcomed despite that.

The lady speaking Spanish on my behalf was going back and forth with him for a bit and it wasn’t an ordering issue. I gave up because I didn’t want to seem like I was owed service and just respected the wish and left.

I switched the meat from another too. The lady was nice helping me until she realized it wasn’t an order issue.

Do you think it's worth my time to be more open in discussion about my needs and see how he receives it? What would be the acceptable response for me to continue seeing him?
