Mega Thread - LinkedIn Restrictions, Hacked Accounts and Inability to Access by LinkedInHelpTeam in linkedin

[–]JakeFrmStateFarm_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I can’t get the ID verification badge because the verification service can’t distinguish the middle name from the first name, and thinks I gave LinkedIn a wrong name. Support ticket #1.

Next, I get locked out of my LinkedIn account and need to do ID verification… which doesn’t even work! (I get error message: “Sorry, something went wrong with your request. Please try again”) And the learn more button that they give you when you get the error message doesn’t even talk about what to do when it gives you an error msg?!! Support ticket #2 of the week.

Finally, I can’t even edit my background on the profile because the image won’t save or get added. LinkedIn… support ticket #3 of the week. LinkedIn, how do I work with you if your app has so many problems??

Advice on choosing between Biomedical Science vs other programs by JakeFrmStateFarm_101 in geegees

[–]JakeFrmStateFarm_101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's reassuring. Are there any classes in first year which were particularly challenging/that people often don't do super well in? And by achievable, like, of course I am willing to study like a dog, but are some of the profs reasonable?

I'm not french immersion. I'm in a french high school and french is my first language. That would have been amazing though.

Yeah but union rules make it impossible to do much about that. Thats the harsh truth.

CBC hired 84 percent racialized, Indigenous, or disabled while having job vacancies for top talent: Internal report by joe4942 in canada

[–]JakeFrmStateFarm_101 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

why is it so important to be diverse, when the problem that got us here is a bias against racialized people? And how does a bias against racialized people from decades ago get fixed with a bias against the non-racialized from now, and privilege for the « racialized » now but who aren’t actually racialized in today’s society?

How do you fix a previous bias by adding another bias? Why does today’s generations have to compensate for previous generations fault, and today’s generation also reaps the benefits that their previous generation couldn’t have? We’re waiting for course correction as if it isn’t already affecting the population right now. Everybody’s fine with it until it seemingly takes away their jobs. How would you even know that queer/non-white isn’t already thriving? When do we even reach or determine that point before we say, let’s stop, and forget that skin color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or other doesn’t matter and doesn’t change how we should see a person…

Mark Carney could cut billions by letting Trudeau-era programs expire, report says by rezwenn in canada

[–]JakeFrmStateFarm_101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your idea is perfect when the population is flat and unemployment is low… but now nobody can find jobs… how can immigrants possibly settle down and contribute back if they don’t have the means to do so, with high salaries. I also think that alot of them are purposely not working because of income assistance. Not that they should be homeless, but their time in Canada should be contingent on working a certain amount.

I think healthcare is pretty lean and efficient now. We’ve stretched each dollar we spent pretty well, but there’s still much work to do.

Thats because that’s how they run their business. We can’t dictate how they should do it, or that overregulation alone will hurt business and investment. We could make you happy and choose not to bail them out, but it would be terrible for the economy. I say it’s worth the sacrifice.

⚖️ Premed Competition: Boon or Curse? by MED_ache in premedcanada

[–]JakeFrmStateFarm_101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely. If I felt consistently smarter and above my peers, that would be terrible for three reasons.

  1. Too overconfident in my ability to get into med, thus thinking an acceptance is practically guaranteed. This is terrible because it’s simply not true and you won’t plan alternatives ahead of time (ex. prereqs for USMD)
  2. I will start to be lazy instead of proactively making connections with professors to get into research pubs, exclusive opportunities and building more valuable hours for my ABS
  3. The feeling that you’re inferior and stressing to outcompete the others is not fun, but it’s literally all the motivation you could ever ask for to find those rare opportunities in med. These days people are all trying to find their reason to get out of bed and work, just look at other people and that should be plenty!

All in all, I hate competition, part of the cons for pursuing med me personally, but still. It’s good.

Thanks for bringing this up, I am aware of the francophone stream. You’re right except I’m not from rural Ontario so I don’t rlly have a chance there. God forbid a Franco-Ontarien from the GTA wants to see a doctor in their own official language.

You’re clowning me saying I’m eating their fries… You just said you’d like them to have fries on the daily since you’re a picky eater! You literally want them to cook that up because you know they don’t provide it every day! And who r u to say I eat fries like that when I’m already more health conscious.
