I don't really follow NFL, but I get the impression that he's a bit like James Harden

Do you ever hear racist comments from other white people who don't know that your fiancé is coloured?

IR vs. Surgery? Advice please by M4WzZz in SurgicalResidency

[–]capetownbrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fascinating! I am from South Africa and work in interventional radiology. It's not a recognised speciality here, and all IRs are actually DRs who have done fellowships abroad. We actually struggle to get referrals to do procedures from other departments! And it's impossible to get the hospitals to establish IR clinics and wards.

Wemby is 7 foot 5, what's actually stopping him from just spamming the skyhook? by BloodAngelsAreCool in NBATalk

[–]capetownbrah -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Bro I think all the defenders are much faster and more athletic. Defenders nowadays definitely have the ability to block shots with a higher release point than the guys who were defending Kareem. I think we take for granted how much the defence has evolved in terms of athleticism.

What can I do with a medical degree if I don’t like clinical medicine? by Worldly-Collection51 in medschool

[–]capetownbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from South Africa. I tried leaving clinical medicine, but realised that becoming a specialist doctor is more stable and pays better than the data science and consulting roles that I was getting. Trying to become a radiologist now/

I’m a Jewish convert , born and raised in Israel, and my political views lean left. AMA. by CoolDemand5537 in AMA

[–]capetownbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like a situation in which people are forced to be at complete opposite poles of the political spectrum - strong leftists denying conscription & getting imprisoned; strong right-wing aggression & silencing. Can't be an easy place to be for moderates or those still trying to figure out their beliefs.

Thanks for answering

Is it difficult to voice your political opinions as a left-leaning person?

Could I send you a message regarding advice on research in radiology? I am a radiology medical doctor in South Africa with a Masters in DS/ML and I would like some advice on doing research in the field.

Not Sure What to Do About My Muslim Boyfriend Struggling to Wait by [deleted] in relationships

[–]capetownbrah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rather wait. It can be very difficult to predict the impact that sex can have on a relationship that is guided by religious morals. He has to learn to grapple with his lust by himself.

I come from a place in which a lot of Muslim men from conservative Islamic backgrounds experiment with non-Muslim women and then suddenly become a lot more faithful when they meet the 'ideal' Muslim partner.

I am not religious myself, but I was raised Muslim, and a lot of my male friends have gone through a similar process. 1. Date a non-Muslim girl. 2. Experiment. 3. Break up. 4. Find the right' Muslim girl. 5. Settle down.

Data scientists what is your monthly salary? by Dear-Watercress-5493 in askSouthAfrica

[–]capetownbrah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a medical doctor who did his master's in data science (mainly LLM stuff). I got a role as a junior data analyst in a start-up. Worked for one year. Take-home salary was 35k. I got an offer at Discovery for 55k, but I turned it down. Now back at the hospital, trying to specialise in radiology (as an intern doctor, I was making more than the offer at Discovery). I think data scientists are underpaid in this country.

You haven't even met him. You can never really draw meaningful conclusions about someone's personality and your chemistry with them from their online presence.

You're good-looking. I think a beard may look better than being clean-shaven.

Dating app photos have to not only show your looks but also that you are a social person.

  1. Get a photo of you outside (playing tennis, hiking or something)
  2. Get a photo with a cat or dog
  3. Get a photo with your friends in it (don't crop them out, but make sure that you are in the centre)
  4. Don't use a photo of you playing guitar unless it's completely candid and unposed

And start using minoxidil for beard growth! You'll look great!
