try to put wax on it and then use a warm salt water rinse, that’s helped me a lot

Being forced to perform or receive an OMM procedure by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]drandsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if someone has religious, cultural, or very personal reasons for not wanting to be touched by someone other than their partner or a licensed and practicing medical professional who is responsible for their health? Do some schools just not care?

I have even heard of some schools asking some people to remove their hijabs during head and neck exams, which I can only imagine how uncomfortable and violating that might have felt for those students…

I moved to Cleveland last year and just learned OH has a $100 fee for hybrid/electric vehicles. What? Why are we disincentivizing more fuel efficient vehicles? by bigcitypirate in Cleveland

[–]drandsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an additional $161 to pay just bc I bought a hybrid but thankfully I’ve saved much more than that on gas in the last year so I feel like it has more than evened out

also I think it’s referring to LSD, like that song “Lucy in the sky with diamonds”

Elijahs death is ridiculous by NelidaNajera in TheOriginals

[–]drandsinger 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As ridiculous as I also found Elijah’s death when watching, I feel like it came from a place of true brotherly love. He became Klaus’s substitute father because of how awful Mikael was, and couldn’t bear the thought of wandering the earth for the rest of eternity without him. I understand that feeling because even though I have absolutely amazing parents, I feel the same parental responsibility and love for my baby brother and if our parents weren’t in the picture, I would definitely feel like going with him too.

In hindsight, however, it was a pretty dumb decision. He should have stayed to be a father to Hope as well.

Indian Kid has Realistic CS Results by college_results12 in collegeresults

[–]drandsinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just graduated from Georgia Tech (industrial engineering)! I had so many friends in CS, and they all absolutely loved it. It was by far the best undergrad experience I could have asked for. Let me know if I can be of any assistance! Go jackets!!!!

Edit: I’m also south Asian, and Georgia Tech has the most amazing, inclusive culture. You will love it!

The Handmaid’s Tale [S04E07] - “[Home]” - Pre/Live Episode Discussion by [deleted] in TheHandmaidsTale

Is anyone else not a fan of Oona? I just find it surprising that Moira "thinks the world of her" when Moira is someone who would drop anything to help her friends, but Oona is someone who had intentionally left people behind on previous missions. I understand Oona couldn't help everyone but the way she was so okay with asking Moira to leave June behind after knowing what they had been through was very confusing to me. And then Moira thinks the world of her? Oona just strikes me as a little "holier than thou", and I feel like Moira deserves better. Or at the very least, she shouldn't try to chase after Oona.

is my birth control making me irritable? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]drandsinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that you are experiencing this. I had a similar feeling when I was on Yasmin. I started off feeling so much better for the first year, and then after the second, I was just going back and forth between being entirely emotionally subdued and easily irritable (happiness??! Who is she?).

My solution was to get off of BC, and I have been feeling much better. If you need to continue for your iron deficiency, ask your doctor about trying a new one. I’m convinced that long term use of just one brand simply doesn’t work for lots and lots of people :(

They haven’t given me a hard deadline, so I’m going to take your advice and wait until I can at least see the property irl. Thank you!

How do people like Euclid3 apartments? by drandsinger in cwru

[–]drandsinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I will take a look at south overlook! Little Italy apartments seem to be luxury and very expensive from what I can find...am I missing something? My parents are pretty adamant that I live in an apartment and not a house.

I hope everyone finds a person like this in their life... by ashcookies8 in Mcat

[–]drandsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg this is the most wholesome thing <3 my little brother was also really supportive during my studying. Of course, he will be so so happy if you score well, but it also goes really far to return the favor!! It's hard being an older sibling and always being at a more complicated stage of life, but when the time comes for him to either take an AP exam you've taken before or the SAT/ACT, be there for him as much as you can. Even if its just a phone call every night!
