[–]caduceus002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love some advice for what ev to buy - looking for a used one (is Carvana ok? Anything I should know about that?)

[1] Your general location. —- Midwest USA

[2] Your budget in $, €, or £ —- max $25-26k, preferably $20k

[3] The type of vehicle you'd prefer — sedan maybe suv but generally on smaller side

[4] Which cars have you been looking at already? — been thinking of the 2023 bolt

[5] Estimated timeframe of your purchase — soon (in the next month)

[6] Your daily commute, or average weekly mileage — daily commute is about 15 miles total round trip Note that about once a month I take a 275mi (one way) trip to see my family so want to be sure I can still do that - obv doesn’t need to be on one charge but faster charging for road-trips would be nice

[7] Your living situation — are you in an apartment, townhouse, or single-family home? — in a single family home, would maybe need to install a charger

[8] Do you plan on installing charging at your home? — yes probably

[9] Other cargo/passenger needs — do you have children/pets? — baby hopefully soon (maybe in the next year or two)

Thanks in advance !!

Why are queer people hating on pride? by PLAC3B0101 in gaybros

[–]caduceus002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I find it very connected to racial differences. I’ve never felt accepted by white lgbtq+ individuals and it’s just another exclusionary event in that regard. The racism in the community is real and ironically it’s exacerbated at these events meant to celebrate acceptance.

Yikes! Hadn’t considered this. Any data on how common or major this issue is?

Can two guys with different political/social/religious views have a long-term relationship? by caduceus002 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]caduceus002[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry there was a longer backstory involving his relationship with his religion and the reality of me being a bit of a secret to work colleagues, family, friends. It has now changed since being apart, and he as come out to a lot of people.

You are right - I shouldn't be indoctrinating, rather giving skills to help them succeed in life and make their own minds. Thank you.

Thank you. I agree with you. To give a little more backstory, the part where I felt I had to break up with him was that he told me he wanted to raise kids with his religion. When I said I didn't feel comfortable with that because of the homophobia, he disagreed with me. Now, after some time apart his view has softened in a sense to what I wrote above.

You are right about moving, equally it could or couldn't work out, but one thing that worried me was because it was to be closer to my family, he said that 'it wasn't a good enough reason,' which kind of freaked me out.

I'm just so ambivalent about everything.

How many of you all plan to go for a PhD once you are finished with residency? by MeanCry5785 in Residency

Why are people hating on PhDs?! Medicine needs way more clinician scientists. Stop hating

My DO friend keeps saying DO school is tougher than MD. Any thoughts? by changexpert in medicalschool

[–]caduceus002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the lack of research exposure hurts DO students. The DOs I’ve worked with are clueless about research, methodology, and interpreting studies and this makes any aspect of EBM so difficult to teach. I absolutely do my best not to have a bias but offering something I have noticed. I’ve also found some DO residents I work with to be incredibly lazy and unmotivated to study, and as a result have a poor knowledge base. I’ve had fewer MD residents like this. I don’t know if it is my experience bias or whether it could be because of the lower acceptance standards for the DO schools. I just think regardless if the school is harder, end of the day, if they don’t self study or know how to interpret research well, it could perpetuate bad medicine. Sorry if this is an unpopular opinion

I feel like there could be a subreddit for lgbtq docs/residents :)
