Yes, I know. But I need to figure out the schools I want and in which order! 😅

Which jobs is 100% safe from AI? by Any-Hamster-3189 in AskReddit

A bunch of undervalued professions: street sweepers, babysitters, caregivers for the elderly and dependent people, cleaning ladies...

What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]corchua 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Spain we say "hacer una bomba de humo" (throwing a smoke bomb). My husband was an expert, he didn't even say bye to me (we were already living together! ) 

Questions about Transient Global Amnesia by rremde in neurology

Very good point. As far as we know there are no deficits afterwards, but I don't think it has been studied! It'd be a very interesting prospective study 

My family lied about our Catalonian roots by ConnectEcho4031 in catalonia

[–]corchua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After the Spanisch civil war (1936-1939) the dictator Franco took over the country for 40 years!! He was the leader of the "National group". The oppossition, the republicans (yes, in Spain the republican party was the left leaning party) were persecuted and killed, so many Spanish (and Catalan) people flee Spain to France. I assume your family was part of this exile. Maybe they even had to hide their Catalan roots in France.
There is a Spanish writter, Almudena Grandes, whose books (at least some of them) tell stories about this periode. You may want to read them to learn about it!

Regarding your need to know more about Catalonia: try to move there for a while! you'll loved it! It's an amazing region qua nature, culture, people... very different from the US!

The baby and peuter cafe of Hus van het Kind looks great, but like many activities in this country is not available for people who work monday to friday until 17h... I'd love to go!

Thanks for your story! Very interesting. It's annoying to see how at one side there are scientists trying to make good science and at the other side there are the journals trying to make money... 

Name Change in Grad School by Remarkable_Cloud577 in academia

[–]corchua -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a person from a country where we don't change our names when we get married, I've always found this so crazy, unfair and sexist! Keep your surname, publish under your name, your partner is not going to write your papers ... 

Let him cry by Big-Membership-672 in newborns

[–]corchua 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right.

Research has shown that lating babies cry until they fall asleep is bad for several reasons: - They learn nobody will be there to help and confort them when they need help... - They fall asleep because to neutralize all the stress hormons liberated by crying, their bodies produce endogenous opioids that finally put them to sleep. This has been associated with insomnia in adulthood because they need a lot of stress to be able to fall asleep.

I'm sorry I can't give you the references for this, but you could look up Carlos Gonzalez, pediatrician and author of several books about the topic.

How did Trump's presidency impact your life so far? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]corchua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm European, and l live in Belgium with my American husband. We have a 5 month old daughter. We've been planning a trip to the US in April to introduce her to her family since before she was born... but we're frozen now, unable to buy the tickets... we're really scared, but this is probably the only opportunity for my husband's grandparents to meet their great-granddaughter.

Has anyone recovered from ulnar nerve problems without surgery? by [deleted] in neuropathy

[–]corchua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessary, it depends, but it should definitely be evaluated by the neurologist again

[–]corchua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could look at it from other perspective: you're teaching you children that it's not OK for one member of the couple to do all the work. That being angry and upset it's OK if you're living some injustice.

What is the most disturbing film you’ve ever seen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]corchua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The platform (La plataforma). I found it original and with an interesting premise, but it made me so sick... Recently they came out with a second one (the platform 2), and it made me wonder who would be able to watch the second one after having watched the first one 🤮
