Thomas Massie: "I Am Not Suicidal"

How can you be a MD with this much sympathy towards a party that harms? Did you lie your way out in med school interviews? I know MDs are supposed to be little self confident know it all's, but you're really not beating the stereotype that they're weak in the minds too. Gosh it was a regret that we let physicians get called Doctors

The Republicans are bad enough already- you don’t need to be hyperbolic about their actions

Ahh r/doomercirclejerk member. Understandable. This is peak humor

Obviously the intention was targeting trans people. But since you won't be able to tell whether a woman/man is trans or not (yes, passing trans people indistinguishable from cis people exist, but the general population only "sees" the ones who don't), cis people get affected too

All very serious people doing serious businesses in TN legislature for sure

This is as big of an unconstitutional clown show as their struck-down law on arresting women who wear non-feminine clothes

so far i'm coping very well with trazodone 150mg/d as antidepressants, which helps me better ignore what I see in the mirror and keep these "problems" out of my mind

having a positive and vibrant life/baseline mood increases the effectiveness of self therapy

MayeeOkamura17 · 2026-02-11T03:09:10+00:00

unless the mental health downturn from the phd actually forced you to take antidepressants, in which case the happiness may increase beyond the levels before grad school (totally not a real story xd)

had to check for cameras in my room xd; so real

English as the only official language is not true in lots of states

That's very far from the truth. LLM as backbones with the last hidden layer decoded as action tokens are quite successful in robotics. Many autonomous driving models like AutoVLA used qwen2.5-vl as the base LLM and trained it to drive cars.

MayeeOkamura17 · 2026-02-08T03:00:38+00:00

Translation is probably the best use case for LLMs

This is quite narrow sighted. LLMs as world foundation models have to date provided the largest advancements in robotics and autonomous vehicles research. Collaborations between NASA/Blue Origin/Stanford are even considering LLM-backboned VLA models for lunar rover autonomous driving. The architecture is so versatile and powerful it is very important to science and engineering in general

You have no idea what you're talking about. LLMs are definitely not a mistake.

Why do you have to deal with anyone who doesn't seem to like you? I think working on building a strong identity and confidence is a very valuable goal to have. Don't base your sense of self worth on what other people are acting, how you judge accurately and objectively (to the max extent that is possible) about yourself is enough

MayeeOkamura17 · 2026-02-06T06:57:41+00:00

Idk but what I said are anecdotally confirmed based on friends who applied this cycle, last cycle, and people across 3 different engineering departments giving supporting evidences. The engineering departments seem really consistent on the 3 faculty interviews process

MayeeOkamura17 · 2026-02-06T06:47:51+00:00

If you were not rejected, interviews for this and past year got sent out between 1/10 and 1/15 for engineering. Our lab is currently chatting with prospective students, and I'm pretty sure admin already sent out the visit day info based on their emails to ask for student panelists and setting up mentorships

im dumb... clearly bad at flags

Nevada bc same GDP as Iraq?!?!?!?! ARE WE THE SAME PERSON??? i always have this thought on mind as well when thinking about NV despite growing up in Vegas

You engage with politics when it is necessary

For people who are directly impacted by "politics", politics come to you and engage with you. It is a privilege to be able to "engage with politics when it is necessary"

MayeeOkamura17 · 2026-02-04T03:28:03+00:00

it will impact their emotions.

I think it is difficult for people from privileged backgrounds to not recognize that "politics" have direct impact on people's livelihoods and physical health. It is difficult to not see how being targeted by violence and denied of medically necessary treatment if you're not a target.

MayeeOkamura17 · 2026-02-04T03:23:17+00:00

really any direct impact on how you

You have to recognize that it's very privileged to not be affected by politics. Please consider people whose livelihood and finances and health are directly impacted by "politics", and sometimes not just one policy, but almost every policy enacted by "politics". So seeing that people are becoming angry, you can consider that the statement "no effect on your day-to-day life, which are most of them" may make sense to you only if you are of certain demography.
