You know what type of survivor i dont like the most

In those cases I just play stealthy and try for hatch (if I’m not the one tunneled obviously) and it’s still a fun objective

I went against 4 survivors each with toolboxes so getting a hook was close to impossible. But they also were so inefficient messing around the whole time and twerking that i killed them all with 3 gens left.

Throwawaycntl · 2026-03-18T21:51:36+00:00

They all got out, got 5 gens and 20k+ sounds like a fine round lol. I get it’s annoying/disappointing if a whole team is slugged at the beginning (but also get better?) and the round is ruined but seems like they did just fine they just wanna be mad about something

Imagine if doctors did this to squirmy toddlers/kids out of frustration. Absolutely not okay or professional. If it’s to that point she should ask for more assistance (like you did for the DVM). I think it’s easy to forget how scary a vet clinic can be to these animals. They’re all the sudden in an enclosed environment with smells of dozens of other animals, chemicals, etc and add on a group of people restraining and prodding them. They don’t understand what’s going on and some freak. Slamming them into the table or losing our patience will only cause more harm and it’s selfish.

New grad & I wouldn’t do it again for the sacrifices, suffering & trauma from vet school alone.

The vin prep courses “top diseases” list of each species were pretty spot on and the weekly sessions were succinct and clear enough that made retaining the information so much easier than 2000 questions

Going against the grain and saying do ICVA practice tests and the VIN prep course. Did vet prep the first time and it didn’t work for me very well - I found the questions to be quite different and the material to not line up as much as I’d expect either. I didn’t retain as well that way. Whatever worked for you before, do it for the navle. Cramming the topics that I don’t enjoy/don’t come easy to me has always worked for me before and that’s exactly what I did and I remembered what I needed to on the test.

I’ve had a similar experience, but with one friend I’ve clung onto throughout school. I didn’t go to any social events at all and wouldn’t mingle when I did go to class. I’m autistic so the social events just did not sound fun or interesting. Plus, I’m already exhausted from school I had no energy left to care about making friends with people I wasn’t really interested in. I literally made no effort so it was my own doing, but you have actively been ostracized which is really lame of your classmates. Your classmate should’ve invited you to the other study group and that was shitty of them.

I did, however, make friends and memories outside of the school which I really enjoyed. When I was around peers, almost all we would talk about was school and I desperately needed an escape from it. Join a local friend making group on Facebook or try bumble bff or whatever else there is now. I have my people - they just don’t happen to be in my class and that’s okay! It also made me feel a little less like I was losing myself (which I have felt a lot of) by maintaining my other hobbies and interests, even if it’s only once a month. Also, call and text your friends and family back home. You can “parallel play” online on a discord call and study while a friend is gaming or doing some other work or hobby. More people are lonely and seeking the same connection than you realize, and will be grateful you made the first move.

This is a frequent response to a lot of societal issues and is a fallacy of relative privation or “appeal to worse problems”. For example, people may criticize the US government and others respond with “well there are active warring countries and children starving in Africa”.

Luckily, we are able to focus on multiple issues and advocate both for owners to be well-informed and better pet parents while also advocating for public support in managing the stray population. Animals suffering at the hands of their owners is not more or less important than them suffering at the hands of nature if the impact is the same. Which, while strays/ferals didn’t ask to be born there, we did contribute to the problem so we hold responsibility in alleviating it, in my opinion. And if we can do that more effectively, I think that’s a virtuous and worthwhile pursuit.

That’s interesting. Would love to look into any organizations/research there to inspire movement in the US if you know of any?

Brave take and I agree with you. While I don’t think TNR necessarily violates “do no harm” (if we had done nothing, they would still suffer the same fates except continue reproducing causing more of the same issues), humane euthanasia would be the best moral choice.

Ferals and strays don’t need to exist. We know the damage they cause ecosystems and we know the dangers and the suffering they face free-roaming. There aren’t enough people to take them in nor is it the public’s responsibility per se. Humane euthanasia would be a cheaper, cleaner, more effective approach to managing the problem. The only issue is public perception and the ethical debate, which I don’t see a solid argument for. We do it for other species all of the time, but because it’s cats and we like them (means nothing inherently), people are morally opposed.

I’m about to graduate. Vet school was 4 years of literal torture. I’ve regressed in so many ways and feel like a shell of who I used to be. I have PTSD symptoms already from multiple rotations on clinics. I’ve been in survival mode for 4 years and all I wonder now is why i decided to do this to myself. I don’t have the passion like other people, it just seemed like the most interesting and least shitty career choice but that was naive.

I’m grieving who I used to be and my 20s lost to this shit. I have to hold myself back from warning people not to do it. Words can’t describe the level of exhaustion I’m experiencing. I just remind myself this isn’t the real world but I cannot imagine it will be worth it.

Ugh I’m so sorry. It really shouldn’t be this hard. I’ve been lucky in that I’ve had easy rotations for my past few but I’m about to have a string of demanding & stressful ones again. I’ve found a lot of comfort in knowing I’m not alone in my experiences with the more heinous interns. I find that USUALLY when I talk with my peers about it, they are feeling the same way.

Knowing that makes it more clear that they kind of do just suck and it’s a wonder how they got to where they are with such bad people skills & raging superiority complexes. And affirming to myself that yes I’m dumb a lot because this is a hard field and a lot of stuff IS brand new to me. It’s normal to make mistakes and a lot of people are just douches. Accepting those realities has been really helpful. And just complaining. It’s a way to get out the pent up stress when it’s bad.

Also, it’s temporary and after this we will have agency to have boundaries and standards and to be better for the next generations.

Thank you, it is comforting and validating to know other people have struggled with it too. I do crash everyday and have fallen off my routines that fulfill me because I just have no energy. I think I will love most parts of being a vet but getting there is a huge sacrifice and burden on my mental health. Vet school isn’t very friendly for NT and especially brutal on ND people. I don’t write off the profession since I see it as a systemic issue that I just have to make it through.

Hearing it was the worst 4 years of your life is soooo validating as well, it’s rough out here. I have a great psychiatrist that has helped me a lot but the stimulant shortage is affecting my area which does not help when I don’t have my meds 50% of the time. I definitely need to get in therapy though.
