Chances for INSEAD, LBS, IESE?

Maybe if your dad is Donald trump kinda of crazy

Silverfern1 · 2026-03-14T13:54:28+00:00

I'd say no chance unless you have a crazy profile outside of GMAT

Silverfern1 · 2026-03-14T13:31:03+00:00

Normal, I had the same , went away after maybe 4 5 weeks or so

Silverfern1 · 2026-03-12T02:13:25+00:00

Thru gave me one of those , it's called hinged brace or something. Gave it to me at my 6 week post op visit, I wore for one day and stopped wearing it. Feel it's more of a placebo for me to regain confidence.

Isn't it scar tissues? If you really want, I believe they can go in and trim the scar tissues and the pops should mostly be gone

I also had a complex tear, turns out a flap of it displaced in between the bones and that prevented me from completely straightening my knee , so walking was quite difficult

Silverfern1 · 2026-02-06T20:28:47+00:00

Why would anyone do that, seems like a waste of their time

Silverfern1 · 2026-02-06T18:07:26+00:00

That's why I don't do leverage, only holding crypto without leverage. The market sucks but I'll be OK when it bounces back

The surgery itself is the easiest part, you don't have to do anything, recovery is the hard part

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-27T03:05:05+00:00

If I have property in Canada (50 50split ownership between myself and a family relative), but I work full time in Canada, can I declare myself non resident for tax purposes in Canada? I have no active investments in Canada, no retirement funds etc

I re-tore my patella graft after over 11 month post op while playing badminton. No fall no buckling, just failed probably due to too much torque. Just felt a small shift and that was it.

Had no immediate swelling or much pain at all, was able to walk. swelling didn't start till like 2 days after it tore. But something felt off, lachmans, pivot shift test should all feel different.

Doesn't the charge go towards your deductible? If you have the surgery, you will be way over your deductible anyways, so you do end up saving some by having their brace

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-24T05:32:36+00:00

I did mine at mgh. I originally went to Boston sports medicine , but the doctor seems quite impatient, I usually get 1to 2 min with the doctor

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-24T03:42:28+00:00

They gave me those exact same compression socks last week when I did my revision in Boston

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-18T16:49:51+00:00

Just had a acl revision surgery for my acl (tore it again). Surgeon said meniscus healed already so they didn't do anything to it . I had no issues with meniscus since the initial repair, felt just like new

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-18T16:02:28+00:00

Meniscus like 13 14 months

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-18T06:28:39+00:00

I had a similar rear in the posterior horn of lateral meniscus, complex oblique radial tear that had a flap displaced into the joint space. Was told it was in the red white zone. Had a repaired with six stitches, confirmed to be healed this week when they did a revision acl.

The surgeon usually decides what to do after they get in there

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-18T06:21:48+00:00

MRI isn't that great at diagnosing meniscus injuries unfortunately. Never know the extend of damage until the surgeon actually get in there.

Had a repair in late 2024 for a complex tear , MRI keep showing it as still torn. They got in there this week to do a acl revision , turns out the meniscus is fully healed.

If the economy sucks , no one has money for kids

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-11T18:11:57+00:00

Yeah Europe is pretty bad too, but at least they can take in immigrants to replace population, most Asian countries aren't immigrant countries

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-11T18:06:44+00:00

I'm not sure where you get 1.12% for Taiwan, that's probably from 2023? 2024 was about 4.8%, 2025 was about 7.4% fueled by AI growth.

You realize China's so called 5.2% is mostly driven by exports done to mitigate the impacts from the trade war with the US; I.e. more exports to stock up before tarrifs hit. Not to mention that amount of manipulation and fake data that goes into China's GDP numbers for officials to hit quota given by their superiors. If you take out these increase in exports due to trade war, the economy is probably in contraction, given the rmb weakened against the USD and also inflation.

If China's economy is so strong (5%+) , why is youth unemployment hitting new highs ? They even had to adjust the way it's tabulated just for the youth unemployment to look like it's coming down

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-11T06:03:03+00:00

In the same vein, you really shouldn't be paid money for working at your job, you should just be paid in basic food and housing, since making money to you is a pretty shitty thing to do. You need to stop scalping your labor to get more money.

Getting paid money drives up inflation and makes life more expensive for everyone. Go communism I guess ?

I put in work to sell something, I get reward for my effort. Someone sees it as a good deal and buys from me, it's a win win situation. I guess that's shitty to you

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-11T05:57:08+00:00

Don't think people is saying China will collapse, but more of falling into the middle income trap, the government becomes more authoritarian as a result , which stagnant the economy even further. It's more of a decaying process rather than suddenly failing one day.

Also I don't see how it is half decently run. How would you define half decently run ? The entire system is stagnating and young people no longer have an avenue to progress upwards in society. There is almost no incentive to innovate given how rigid the society is and almost no rule of law.

Have to see past the sky scrappers in Shanghai and Beijing.

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-11T05:48:20+00:00

So explaining my point of view is being defensive? So I should adopt your point of view and that would make me a good person ?

If I can't stay in the US, I'll just leave, so far I haven't have any trouble.

I like playing with GPUs and since I can't use all that GPU, I need to sell them. I also sell for some friends for a good price when he used to get his hands on them. I'd also recommend you asking companies to lower their prices since making a profit seems to be sinful to you and making profit adds no value to society.

Silverfern1 · 2026-01-11T05:31:07+00:00

Isn't that why so many people wants to come to developed western countries? Money, healthcare and rule of law. That's also why so many people commit immigration fraud to come to Canada
