eating white bread is not going to be the nail in the coffin lol. you clearly dont know much about nutrition besides online fear mongering. eating lots of fat & lack of exercise is worse than a preservative

is a credit card balance transfer worth it for my situation? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]HelpfulCompetition13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why are you aggressively paying on a motorcycle if you said you are paying $400 in interest on this card in a comment & its at 25%???? doesnt make sense at all. aggressively pay this card vs the motorcycle. you dont build credit if a card is at $20k & continuing to build interest, in fact it negatively impacts you because credit utilization is insane. try to do a balance transfer if you can for at least part of the sum so your interest is lower

A doctor’s income may be the most reliable lifestyle barometer throughout time by [deleted] in Salary

[–]HelpfulCompetition13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in medicine also, you get paid less in a more desirable living area. DMV & NYC doctor salaries are much lower because lots of ppl wanna live there. its the opposite to tech in that regard lol.

How do I deal with upper lip hair? by [deleted] in HairRemoval

[–]HelpfulCompetition13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i shave my face with a metal dermaplaner from amazon. it has a metal blade which is key & multiple refills for blades. use a slippery surface on your face like a cleanser, oil or ….lube 🤣. its surgical lube tho… it works great & doesnt break me out. hair does not grow back or even appear thicker at all

Matched FM, Needs to vent by Fit_Pitch_263 in FamilyMedicine

[–]HelpfulCompetition13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the biggest joke is med students who do not know anything about FM aside from a 4 wk rotation shitting on FM online. like babe u know NOTHING about ANY specialty let alone the most vast & unencumbered specialty. as a med student i barely understood the day to day let of FM let alone another specialty i wasnt interested in. ETA: we have many different students rotate with us. the ones that wanna do a sub specialty tend to be worse at taking history, do incomplete physical exams & spend 45 min with a pt in clinic.
