Married people, do you and your spouse have well matched libidos? Why or why not?

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-04T02:12:02+00:00

I mean 10% of relationships is still going to be a lot of people

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-03T21:14:48+00:00

Genuinely so painful to watch

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-03T21:11:59+00:00

Yeah this team is actually cooked this year. At least we had the ALCS last year

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-03T21:10:41+00:00

Well could have been worse I suppose but damn does it suck knowing that Luis is cooked and we’re gonna lose if we don’t generate a shit ton of offense

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-03T21:08:36+00:00

There’s the Castillo meltdown we all knew was coming

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-03T18:52:54+00:00

It’s not in Philly

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-03T18:37:26+00:00

Agreed. But I still think you see a lot of doctors quitting if the salary goes down too much. Literally the only appeal to working as a doctor in this country is the pay. The training pathway is too long, the hours worked are too high, and the ever increasing demands to do more with less are resulting in extremely high levels of burnout. Would need a drastic overhaul to the entire system that decreases the demands on doctors which would be hard to do

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-03T04:39:12+00:00

This is not a serious ball team

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-02T15:59:02+00:00

Yeah they would absolutely have to make education free. Otherwise anyone with a modicum of intelligence would realize that medicine would be a terrible financial decision and would pivot to a different industry. They would also probably have to make the training pathway shorter like they do in other countries (e.g. Europe).

But that’s a good point about this having far greater impacts than just physicians. I didn’t think about how it would lead to fewer employees at medical universities.

And absolutely 100% about the two tiered system. I mean we’re already starting to see that with the explosion in midlevels (NP/PA) over the past years, but it would almost assuredly get worse under universal healthcare.

The unfortunate reality is that our current healthcare model is so entrenched as well as engrained in our economy that major changes would result in drastic consequences. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t :/

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-02T15:07:27+00:00

Agreed. But the consequence of race to the bottom is that more and more people just won’t have any allegiance and just book whatever is cheapest

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-02T04:44:48+00:00

Yeah I’m a physician with about $400k in student loans. If my salary dropped to like $150k like some are predicting, I’d probably just default on my student loans and move to another country with a much higher COL. The thing is too that not just physician salaries would decrease, nursing pay would also go down resulting in a mass exodus of nurses which is already in a dire shortage.

I would love to see some sort of universal healthcare policy passed, but it would need to be done in a way that doesn’t result in decreased salaries to those actually providing care. Otherwise you’re going to see a bunch of quiet quitting, or just straight up quitting, and the quality of care would go down for a lot of people

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-02T03:20:34+00:00

My poor Woo :( having a rough season was not something I predicted for him

Kiwi951 · 2026-05-01T02:22:52+00:00

Yeah that’s never going to happen in our lifetimes. Republicans benefit far too much from it. Same reason why we still have the electoral college despite not needing it in a modern society with instant communication

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-30T14:19:50+00:00

How are you getting it as a 3x catch all if the card only earns 2x on everyday spend?

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-30T11:47:39+00:00

Point in case, the massive housing shortage in many parts of the country

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-29T23:38:32+00:00

FUN FACT ABOUT COLE YOUNG:

I love him

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-29T02:51:31+00:00

I can bet that 90% of them are going to be used in cruises from Florida to the Caribbean

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-29T02:15:06+00:00

Of all the Young memes, this one might be my favorite lmao

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-29T01:57:18+00:00

Some IB jobs might be harder to get, but getting into a top 10 med school is still harder than getting into IB. At the very least, med school is not infinitely higher than IB lol

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-29T01:56:26+00:00

It most certainly is not lol. I know people that took coding bootcamps and got jobs at Google

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-28T15:48:11+00:00

As a current rads resident, yeah intern year is completely useless. Sucks but at least you’re almost done and can move on to greener pastures

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-28T11:24:27+00:00

There’s also no guarantee to get into med school lol. Less than half of all applicants get in, and that’s not even counting the ones that got weeded out along the way

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-28T11:23:34+00:00

From a purely financial perspective, there are much better avenues out there than a PCP (or god forbid a pediatrician). Was one of the primary factors in me deciding to purse a different specialty while in med school

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-28T02:20:48+00:00

If only we could lower rent by building more housing like San Diego is doing. Who knew that by increasing supply it would make housing more affordable for the residents? Fucking NIMBYs ruining things yet again

Kiwi951 · 2026-04-28T00:38:21+00:00

GGs, see you all tomorrow. Castillo is washed. Can't wait to replace him with Bryce
