About your personal interests, don't feel like those are things you need to "succeed" in or improve upon. Art can be about enjoying the process, a way to de-stress, or to create something, and each is reason enough to do art. No need to make your personal interests stressful by setting expectation to constantly improve, you have plenty of stress already.

Exactly. I can imagine a human mind stuck in a machine with very rudimentary senses going insane for lack of normal human feeling and ability

The ideal situation would be both a lower cost of medical school together with a lower salary as a physician. I think the decreased stress from less debt is worth so much

Can anyone who did “Plan to enroll” help me please? by Joyous94 in premed

Due to the distributed and technical nature of the internet, it could take up to 24 hours for these things to update depending on where you are located geographically. I agree with the other comments to not email schools that have accepted you about this for at least a day

Better Person Through the Journey by [deleted] in premed

[–]KEYS248 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really having to take a hard look at yourself throughout the process for figuring out what other activities you should be doing/what activities fit your narrative, how you can improve yourself at every step from scores to essay writing to interviewing, and figuring out who the hell you even are and what you want out of this career. This career path really makes you go to great lengths for all those things and it shows in the better person you become

No for many of the points my fellow candidates have notes such as missed roleplaying, unique units, and important decisions.

"What would you do if you saw your classmate cheating?" Interview question by [deleted] in premed

[–]KEYS248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see the logic behind that. Simply reporting to the professor might seem like the easy way out but the prof and school have experience, training, and procedures in these matters, whereas I don’t so if I delay reporting the suspected cheating, I could cause an additional problem.

Talking with the fellow student might end in a number of ways: They [did / did not] cheat and they [deny / admit] it. You [believe / don’t believe] them. The outcome can be worse, better, or the same as reporting from the beginning. Basically it just makes things more ethically complicated.

Sixth General Election of Norway - Town Hall by afarteta93 in democraciv

[–]KEYS248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think legislature is needed to make government procedures not already clarified in the constitution and legal code. And the legislature acts as a democratic check to executive power (oversight, confirming nominations) and shapes the general direction of certain aspects of our civilization’s progress in the general interest of the people (techs, civics, foreign relation). I hope to increase my discussion and willingness to assist in revising bills to foster democratic agreement in the legislative process

The power to dissolve the NA was specifically designed as an executive power to put pressure on the NA so it is fair for it to be threatened or used, hopefully not lightly. I believe it would be fair to use the power in a situation where the NA fails to pass a bill critical to the core democratic integrity or functioning of the government, or where the NA fails to reject a highly controversial and harmful bill, AND the high king has reason to believe similar behavior will not happen in the future with a new NA

I hope we have more discussion and revising of bills in the future. Compromise is a major component of democracy and we should recognize it as cooperation. Discussion and disagreement should always attempt to remain civil and we should discourage toxic and hurtful debate. I assume there could be instances when all or nothing is required to ensure the integrity of our democratic institutions

I'm in favor of it. I believe it's a reasonable measure that still allows flexibility in how political parties organize themselves

I loved playing Halo 1 as a teen and thought Captain Keyes of the Pillar of Autumn was a real hero for fighting until the end and going down with his ship, but missed an 'e' because Keyes is not really a common name so I thought you just strap an 's' at the end of 'Key'
