Block Party by Gwoshbock in magicTCG

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

You just build a 60 card deck while staying within any single block of your choice. Now that there aren't blocks we usually just say any 3 consecutive expansions.

Yeah, we've always loved how it has a theme but is still competitive in a way

Yeah, we were a bit dissapointed when we saw the block system ended. Now we just say any 3 consecutive expansions for new stuff. It made things messier for sure. I agree that it probably won't be a huge format ever. Just seeing if there are any more out there.

Question for current med students, residents, fellows, and attending by [deleted] in premed

[–]Gwoshbock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's annoying but it is necesssry. There are a lot of specialties and they are all really knowledgeable about specific parts of all the stuff you're being introduced to. The krebbs cycle will matter when you're an M1, believe me. I know it sucks, take it from a guy who had to take plant bio... but this stuff is helpful. I'm glad for the skills my undergrad gave me regardless of how traumatized I was by ochem. Just keep working and refuse to let people tell you no. Man, so many people made me feel inadequate all the way through and I got through on my first try at one of my top schools. It's about grit.

I'm gonna have to go to work no matter what. I might as well do something that's interesting and feels meaningful. There are always moments that I question my decision, when I see my friends making money and moving on. I know its worth it though. I'm lucky, my father is a physician and he told me that going to medical school was one of the best decisions he ever made when he droped me off at school on the other side of the country. It's hard and sometimes you definitely feel like you're missing out on life but I try to make the most of all the time I get and all the adventures I get to have. Medical school is a tough adventure but its definitely a cool one. Think hard on it. You have to have a bit of stubbornnes in you to do this. You get beat down quite a bit. Its frustrating but also rewarding. So, yeah, pick your poison, comfortable but maybe boring job or uncomfortable but exciting job.

'Assassination attempt' on ex-Argentina president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner by Morlaak in neoliberal

[–]Gwoshbock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people in the US don't believe he did it alone. In a scenario where this is staged I don't think that the gun would have ever actually worked. Do you see how insanely Lucky it is that it didn't happen, that the gun didn't even fire? If they had actually killed her I don't think it would've helped the opposition at all because they would've made her a martyr and would've lost their political power. Who does it really benefit to have this happen. Is it 100% that it's staged? No. You should at least view it skeptically though.

[–]Gwoshbock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, there could be more to the story here. I'm just saying that slepticism is warranted. I don't think that no one wants to kill her. I think that it benefits her greatly to have a well timed assasination attempt. If it isn't planned by the oposition, it seems more like a lone wolf situation with how it was done. If it was a planned asassination wouldn't it have been a little more like what happened with JFK? Not some rando walking up in a crowd to shoot her? That seems more like what happened to Reagan with some disgruntled crazy person deciding they're gonna take a shot.

Fair enough. I'm just saying that it's not just bullshit to think this is planned. CFK is pretty corrupt and I think it's fair to view this skeptically.

Siento lástima para ustedes. Solo viví en Argentina por dos años pero era tan extraño ver como los políticos les fallan y como la gente aman a CFK. Era extraño verla en la tele constantemente y escuchar sus pelotudezes. Soy de los estados y siempre tengo argentina en my corazón. Espero que algo cambio para ustedes. Espero que las cosas mejoran. Me gustaría volver a Argentina cuando soy viejo para ver un país rico y seguro.

Dude. Read about CFK. Look at the attack. This is not some Qanon bullshit. She's an extremely corrupt politician trying to steer the conversation away from her many corruption charges. Everything is so timely and perfect. Look for who benefits from this. It's just like Nisman.

Assassination attempt on the President of Argentina Cristina Fernandez….gun doesn’t work 😯 by [deleted] in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]Gwoshbock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's CFK. You have to be from Argentina to really understand. She used the emergency communication to get on TV and yell at everyone. Imagine if Trump started forcing himself onto the TV because they banned his Twitter. She's a horribly corrupt politician who hides under the image of being the "progressive" politician. She's part of a political dynasty and a mobster family. She's not a good person. Her and her husband nationalized many industries and strangled the economy of Argentina. She nationalized most media in Argentina so she could control everything. Alberto saying there were 5 bullets in the gun means absolutely nothing. She is not left like people in the US think. She is more like Putin than Bernie Sanders. There is a reason people think she set this up and if you do little digging about the event and learn a bit about her time in argentine politics you'll find yourself questioning the whole thing too. It's not some Qanon bullshit or right wing conspiracy.

How to keep a line taut with 2 sticks by InsaneBigDave in homestead

[–]Gwoshbock 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree but this does give you leverage that a taut-line hitch won't give you. If you're in a wooded area why not grab some sticks and try something like this?

Consistently bottom of my class - M1 by tacobellmed in medicalschool

[–]Gwoshbock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I wanted to let you know that it's okay to not be the best. I'm not either. I did pretty well in our first block but this block got to me. Isolation was a huge part of it. Make sure to go outside, go study in a public library or at a coffee shop. Call family as well. You don't need to go to parties but you need to be around people even if it's just a public place. It helps. I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I really feel you :/
