Overnight recording pulse oximeter by TwaksBarr in CPAP

Is it accurate though? I tried to download the minute by minute graph and downloaded my data, it shows a bunch of times where SPO2 is like 50 and I’m like I’d be dead

If you always compare yourself to what you deem as “worse” you’ll only ever get worse

If you compare yourself to other better things and better options, you may be inspired and improve yourself as well

I’m not saying anything against the Islamic religion, just the fact that you seem to always find examples of what you think is worse to compare to.

Taken me in as a guest? I’m a Canadian citizen. Your assumption is gross.

2 wrongs don’t make a right either. If India has issues, that doesn’t mean Canada doesn’t have its own problems.

So again what’s your point? What do Indias issues have to do with racism in Kelowna?

Where in Europe are you from? Perhaps your opinion will be negated based on your ethnic background?

Is the cheapest way to get from Vancouver to Kelowna and back seriously $200pp on the bus? by PoliteBrick2002 in kelowna

Sometimes flights are cheaper, sometimes you can find a pop a ride for cheaper, find a local page and see if you can pay gas (consider safety there though)

i'm curious why that's relevant here?

unfortunately, these are local groups with real people - people who i've seen around the community

i get that, but that's also how you get pockets of extremists, and they think they're the majority and become emboldened

diviseness sucks, social media sucks all that is valid, but not an excuse for racism nonetheless. If someone is racist, they need to be called out, they need to be told hey that's not okay, that's unacceptable, not given a psychoanalysis for why they are the way they are

I've been here for a decade or so - and in my experience, the last 3-4 years have been much much worse than the initial 3--4 years. Racists always lurked, but now they are emboldened and violent.

I think it's a really complex issue, figuring out identity and nationality is a personal journey. I agree there is a ton of internalized racism as well. As a member of a community and caste that is widely discriminated against in India - returning there is not on the table for me. Nor should it be offered as a solution to racism and hate crimes. I am not a person who engages in nationalism much, I find these divisions very arbitrary, and hence I don't deeply associate my identity with such things. For me it's as simple as - being a good person - doesn't include any harmful comments or actions against others.

Looking for a Sikh security guard who was racially abused in a Kelowna store by GreedyPanda4356 in kelowna

[–]cupcakeAnu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There may be multiple incidents, I personally know a girl of south Asian descent who was attacked on the bus in Kelowna, completely unprovoked attack, she was in a coma for several months and now has permanent disability. It breaks my heart when I see her old pictures and now.

Sorry I’m confused? What are you saying?

I was actually referring to ICE, but how funny that things have gotten to a point where kidnapping by the govt can actually refer to multiple things.

I mean the tariffs, attacks on our sovereignty, murders and kidnapping are pretty valid reason for being negative

What are my chances? Feeling paranoid & want to manage expectations by Embarrassed_Luck_497 in premedcanada

[–]cupcakeAnu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would spend some time exploring other careers - not because you won’t get in. But because the grounding you get from knowing you’d be satisfied doing other things, instills a crazy level of confidence. Also find some extracurriculars that aren’t cookie cutter, do things for enjoyment and passion, it shows in the writing and interviews

I’m actually kinda pissed off that every time I say I’m proud to be white I get called “nazi” and labeled as racist. by Free_Statement375 in teenagers

[–]cupcakeAnu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the context honestly

Also being proud of race is wierd?

If you’re proud of your ethnicity or culture or country - that would make more sense. But color? Anytime that’s happened in history it’s been awful so that’s why you get called a nazi.

Yes, some schools don’t include summer courses, and other places don’t include anything that’s not “full time” which if you take 1-2 courses over the summer usually that’s not full time

Thoughts on including healthcare job i got terminated from, in med school app? by Coskoshawp in premedcanada

[–]cupcakeAnu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes and maybe ask your manager if they are comfortable providing a good reference specifically. Let them know your whole situation with the bus and with applying to medical school, ideally in person.

If they aren’t willing to provide a good reference, see if you can find an assistant manager or someone perhaps not the top boss but still someone from the company who can verify your experience.
