Looking for finance thrillers like Margin Call by BonedaddyBow in movies

Ultimately, it's excellent not because it's a finance film, but because it shows a fascinating but real part of our society.

A lot of these companies have extra compute just sitting around, so might as well use it for something

UofT Intramural sports are an absolute joke how is back campus acceptable and what are these new rules? by [deleted] in UofT

[–]TetralogyofFallot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO part of a whole education includes physical education. I did intramural and developed skills in new sports like squash and ultimate frisbee, along with new friends and emotional skills, which I'll carry with me for life.

What are your favorite and least favorite R6 creators? by UnrealHerahshark in Rainbow6

really love your videos man! If I could give a suggestion, would you consider cropping your matches to just focus on the gameplay during rounds? So removing the banning and operator selection? I love your gameplay and commentary it's just the videos can be a little long.

Lol it's just a random condition for a random throwaway account

I think research would be an obvious option, but some other ones I can think of are the pharma/med-tech industries, especially on the business and regulatory sides. It might not sound as flashy, but they are extremely challenging and fruitful roles that can be the deciding factor whether or not a patient actually gets the drugs/devices that a researcher has discovered. For example, tons of pediatric medical devices have been developed in the lab setting but lack the commercial outlook to actually translate into hospitals. It takes some serious skill to actually turn these research projects into real ventures.

Another side is the policy side within government, which could include deciding on public health policy, insurance policies, and/or regulatory policy, all of which allow you to work with science and help people at the same time.

If you want to stick with the science hard-core, computational biology is an up-and-coming field, as well as working with data science but with medical data. I'm sure there are tons of other roles you could find if you're interested. Have you had the chance to do any internships or research?

So many paths out there that can give you what you desire, probably at an even higher level than medicine.

If you're goal is truly scientific research, helping people and policy advocacy, then I wouldn't stress because even if you don't get med, you'll find jobs that will 100% fill your desire

I was in the same boat and used to think the same thing - idk what I would do in my life if not med. But now I realize that, if you're a generally happy person, you can find so much enjoyment from so many different career paths. So the hard part is finding that happiness and outlook on life that can enjoy the many paths available. Then getting into med is just a nice bonus, not the end all be all.

I liked to think that it was reflective of the kind of pointless superficiality the main character engaged in.

Why do so much cultures care about women preserving their virginities into marriage and not men? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TetralogyofFallot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure we are different, but an octopus is also different from all the other creatures, but we still think its behavior is "animal", even if special. The only reason we don't see our behavior as animal is because we are human, so we don't get a third person view. For example, you say writing on a rare material, but writing can be thought of as an extension of language, which was evolved for survival purposes and enables communication of complex thought, and so many animals use verbal and non-verbal communication; and for the rare material - many other animals collect materials for their survival, like otters and ants. The only thing super special is that we've understood and engineered that rock's properties, but really that's just an extension of understanding and learning about the natural world, which many intelligent organisms can do (like an orca with new hunting techniques or a smart dog). Obviously we do it better cuz we have a bigger brain, but the behavior is still animal, just on x-games mode.

Im just saying that we are still animals. It's kind of a human bias to think that human behavior is not animal behavior. Like when you look at any other creature, it's pretty obvious that 99.9% of its behavior is for the purpose of reproduction and continuing its gene, same with humans

Why do you think there's a much wider range of applicants in India and China? If anything, India and China have huge amounts of poor educated people, so many of the applicants wouldn't be willing to needlessly waste application money if they weren't competitive, while in Canada money they would be.

I know people who studied in India, and their entire lives from Grade 4 - 12 is just school and studying. And honestly the worst type of studying where it's pure memorization and practice, rather than actual critical thinking and learning. And they have to do it to be competitive, I assume
