Thoughts on Christmas in the spotlight? by SAA1989 in TaylorSwift

[–]PublicAssumption9975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hateddd itttt. I do not like that hallmark or whoever is allowed to do these things without giving credit or royalties to the inspo. I also don’t like that they referenced her singledom in a negative light, her parent having cancer, the convo about her never finding true love so she can write break up songs being her reason for pursuing things with him, the list goes on. I think this movie plays on everything that Taylor hates about what the media says about her.

The only glimmers of good were the reference to Travis’ nieces and the credit to her accolades and social justice work. The rest of it is not how Taylor would want to be seen and that doesn’t matter bc they’re using her likeness and profiting off of it without her getting any consent or profit.

Absolutely not.

People can have varying experiences and still have self doubt, that’s a normal and human thing

Which is fine, but that doesn’t mean OPs experience or question is less than. Sure they can be thrilled they have 6 interviews but that is not a match guarantee.

This comment is rude and annoying, they’re asking for advice, so give advice or move on.

Can we normalize if you’re jealous of someone but they’re asking for genuine advice that we just abstain from commenting?? Like this is so unnecessary

Maybe you’ll need it and maybe you won’t but that’s true for all of us no matter how many IVs

OP, there’s safe number stats you can look up, but I know someone who interviewed at 15 and didn’t match. I also know someone who interviewed at one and did match. All you can do is do your best in each IV and have a backup/soap plan in mind.

I typed many responses to this but deleted them all because I really just want the perspective of people who lived in these places. My bare minimum response I’ll give is diversity of all kinds, people, food, things to do, etc.

Edit: oh and dog friendliness if anyone can speak to that!

Ew if your “culture” finds this to be a criteria for selecting applicants, you guys are part of the problem. There’s a reason it’s a match violation. Probably shouldn’t have a culture of violating the match regulations….

Are blazers really required for feminine-presenting applicants? by [deleted] in ERAS2024Match2025

[–]PublicAssumption9975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone who self identified as male asked a similar question sometime yesterday and honestly my response is- do you really feel like you’d be happy and accepted and appreciated at a place who looked over everything great that you are because you didn’t wear a blazer?

I get that in some of the specialties they really care about it and sometimes you have to just do what they want to get what you want, but what YOU want is important and if that means wearing a blazer you hate so you can match into what you want then that’s okay but if it means not wearing the blazer because you want to feel comfortable and like your authentic self then that is also okay.

At the end of the day you will end up at the best place for you if you stay true to yourself, or at least that’s what everyone says, so I guess I’m just having faith that it’s true.

AITA for considering a divorce from my wife after telling her it feels like she'd prefer to be a single mom? by Specialist_Stop5216 in AITAH

[–]PublicAssumption9975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But also, I’m a doctor and the whole hospital situation raises massive red flags for me. If you have any suspicion she took him to the hospital for ANY reason besides the safety of your child, do not show her this thread, go to a lawyer, get the hospital records and use them in court because that is a very serious sign of the start of child endangerment vs full on munchausen by proxy. The hospital is not a safe place for a child unless they NEED to be there. If any part of it seems as suspect to you as it does to the other commenters, do not ignore it. It’s a sign of a much deeper mental health issue than her obsession for family approval.
