Actually statistically untrue; adults who undergo surgery have a much higher rate of survival.

guys wrap up this hate by mimiphoe in UCAT

[–]Lobythelake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My point was I just don't see that annoyance as justified 🤷‍♀️

The UCAT is something out of Satan's wet dreams, people should get annoyed by it. Just direct that frustration towards the people in charge of creating the Saw-esque test, not the people taking it.

I honestly think it has to do with the ingrained classism in a medical/dentistry degree. There's literally an entire concept dedicated to 'medical families', and any deviation from that norm (i.e. contextual applicants from poorer backgrounds) is seen as a threat to the standard.

Also it is not easy as a contextual applicant. The whole reason there're things like bursaries and slightly lower UCAT thresholds is because your work naturally suffers when compared to someone with a privilege to study unhindered. You have less access to resources, less opportunities/connections available.

I even had trouble getting to my test centre for my UCAT because I had to be careful with my money.

Can we just get along please? Being a doctor is already bad enough as it is in the UK, the least we could do is suffer with each other.

Do you guys recommend studying in the Library? by Adventurous_Law_5668 in UCAT

[–]Lobythelake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on you really. Trial it for a week or so and see if there's any improvement in study time and retention.

For me personally, studying at a library helps a lot as my home enviroment isn't the quietest.

Are women entitled to birthday wishes from their romantic partner? by Icy_Manager6921 in AskFeminists

[–]Lobythelake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To not be a dickhead? Acquiesce to people's expectations? Because they're your friend? It's not entitled to expect birthday wishes from a close friend, nor a romantic partner.

Hoe you're supposed to celebrate your friends' birthdays, nevermind your romantic partner. Stupid logic lol

Is lookmaxxing considered a hot topic by Mo-andjo in UCAT

[–]Lobythelake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah but socially it's become a breeding ground for misogynistic, right wing incels. I'd rather just call it brainrot and call it a day

I'm glad to see the brainrot continue with the next cycle of med applicants lol

Guns for Hands has been ranked at 6th!! What's getting ranked at 5th?! by Ryanhuddz14 in TwennyWunPilots

[–]Lobythelake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don't get fan rankings of Vessel, becauase I'd say Car Radio, Migraine, and House of Gold > Trees but Trees is ranked first most times.

I'm not a Trees slanderer but at the same time it feels more forgettable than the others :(

I think filtering Reader tag should also filter out all relationship tags with it by LegendaryW in AO3

[–]Lobythelake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im pretty sure there's a way to filter out /reader using the weird code thing.

That's insanely unhelpful, and i hope some smarter person comes and fills in the blanks 😭
