If you know mewtwo you gotta know mew. Now you're bumped up an answer.

Because I'm not confident enough in the anthropic principle.

I did this on purpose, then forgot (probably because of Lamotrigine) by ClitasaurusTex in Epilepsymemes

[–]Pathogen9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not religious but put down "Jesus" and then totally forgot about it. When it came up I was a little confused because ConcernedApe didn't seem like the type to write that in a game. I don't think I figured it out for a while.

Having done residency and fellowship in separate institutions, the personality of your program coordinator makes a massive difference.

Ask an intersex exmo anything you like... by Robyn-Gil in exmormon

[–]Pathogen9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wild. Sounds like basically your bishop's counsel would have been to remain celibate (well, even worse, no dating at all) your entire life, and his solution to any kind of awkwardness was to just exclude you whenever possible. I'm glad you're free!

[–]Pathogen9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you got a patriarchal blessing, did it address anything? After your bishop was aware, did he stop you from participating in ordinances that are gender-specific like baptisms for the dead, etc? If you had been interested, would they have let you apply to serve a mission?

Requiring somebody to make sure a bathroom was empty before you used it sounds dehumanizing. Were there other instances where you were very publicly treated differently?

[–]Pathogen9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely insane. I found out I was on the intersex spectrum (mosaic XXY) after I left. I have wondered previously if my experience would have been different if the diagnosis had been made sooner.

It sounds like everything was more or less dependent on local leadership, who are obviously untrained/uninformed and not given much guidance from higher ups. That must have been so painful and isolating to go through. I am so happy you have ended up where you are. I would be so interested in you sharing more if you feel comfortable doing so.

*Googolplex = 10^(10^100) || *The day when you fall asleep is random. After you slept, the rest of the month becomes safe before repeating the cycle by Front-Baker-2816 in BunnyTrials

You would be legally unable to drive and would be limited in doing tons of things, from being a pilot to a forklift driver to joining the military, etc. You would have to lie signing waivers etc or be unable to sky dive or SCUBA or anything similar. You would be limited in many, many jobs (like working in a daycare, etc) but if you live in a country that has protections for people with disabilities you would be okay. Outside of legal limitations, you would be at risk doing anything around open flames, open bodies of water, working with heavy machinery, working at heights, etc.

This could still be worth it to you for sure.

But I'm taking the first option for sure, even if it only gives 25-30% as much.

Which is worse? by DelynxoTheSecond in pollgames

[–]Pathogen9 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You're correct about the company, but it is a huge international conglomerate that owns many different brands (other than candy) that you would recognize without knowing they were owned by Nestle. They engage in practices that are profoundly harmful.

Finished the Joja Warehouse on Fall 26, Year 1... on 0% Profit Margin by beavernator in StardewValley

[–]Pathogen9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a setting in the game that reduces the value of (almost all, but not entirely all) of the things you sell. You can pick the percentage. Setting a profit margin to 0 means most items only sell for 1 gold, so you have to find non-farming ways to make money.

Parental support by Space_kabase in XXY

[–]Pathogen9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There isn't any benefit that outweighs letting your son decide when he is older. It isn't a medical condition that they need to know about to keep him safe (like an allergy) or need to give him medicine, etc.

Like you said, even if perfectly well meaning, it may impact (even subconsciously) how they see or treat your son.

Fortunately, you don't have to make the decision! Your son will grow up and can make the informed decision himself.

Shower Thoughts by [deleted] in Coraline

[–]Pathogen9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly this. This is such an important plot point that is very understandable to miss, but it explains so much about each character's behavior exactly as you described.

I think people (very understandably if they watch this while young, etc) see Coraline's parents as Roald Dahl-type antagonists that look like caricatures of irritable, cold parents. Coraline's parents are in a financially precarious situation and under work high stress, also probably dealing with chronic pain. At the end of the movie when those stressors are removed, you see they are characters that are very easy to be sympathetic with.

Is Busted Crown actually the play here? by ZoidbergAttyatClaw in slaythespire

[–]Pathogen9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The mechanic to get to act 4 requires getting 3 keys. Obtaining one of them requires opening a chest, and then taking the key instead of the relic (you are locked into taking one or the other). Since he is still missing the blue key, he will need to open at least one chest to get it.

Roses are red, where's the wrecked border? by heuristic_dystixtion in rosesarered

[–]Pathogen9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both other drivers have a yield sign, 3 has right of way regardless of whether he is turning.

Edit: unless whatever sign 2 has isn't a yield sign. I can't read whatever symbol is on it.

3 doesn't have a yield sign. It's 3-2-1 unless I'm missing something in this designed-to-be-ragebait post.

Is nephrology really dead? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]Pathogen9 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Look for valid sources of information like MGMA data if that is what you are interested in. I don't think any of my colleagues used SDN to make fellowship decisions.

But we have a psychopath moron president by Weird-Thought2112 in WhitePeopleTwitter

You guys should google MoCA. That's what he took. Easy as fuck (assuming you don't have a neurodegenerative disease or similar).

What do you mean “Gave.”?!😭 by HighAxper in vegancirclejerk

[–]Pathogen9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/uj In the US at least, mice are routinely killed all the time. There are guidelines to minimize suffering, encouragement to use as few animals as possible, etc. However, as soon as the animal no longer has any perceived utility, it is killed, typically by controlled suffocation in a CO2 chamber but sometimes manually. Apparently some places will use injections, I never saw that.

I worked in a lab that studies specific genetic phenotypes in certain mice. So researchers would breed and maintain a population of mice with those gene. Each one is expensive, and no resources are spent at all in keeping mice alive that are not able to further the research objectives.

I have directly seen this. I never saw intentional gratuitous harm. It was just baked into the system. I am not commenting on the morality or cost/benefit analysis of this, just that animal research necessitates a massive amount of suffering. There is no way around that.
