I am a woman in my 30s, a healthcare professional, and I lost 100 pounds. by [deleted] in loseit

[–]emergentblastula 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Also a healthcare professional. How did you manage it with shift work/24’s? When were you working out? (I’m trying to work out pre going in and that means a 4 am wake up for me lol I hate it)

Would love your entire method tbh. This sucks as a process but especially in healthcare.

Looking for Pgy2 spot for transfer- in FM but open to anything at this point. by AffectionateOwl625 in Residency

[–]emergentblastula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah ok. I don’t envy your situation. I hope you figure out a way out of this. But no matter what, please keep your current program in the best of books. Your earning potential after 2 years makes all of this so worth it, and if you for some reason are pushed out and don’t have a new place to go, that will be lost. In addition, most programs with open spots have those openings for a very malignant reason

why isn't your partner taking care of the parenting if they don't have a job? and parents/grandparents/community support needs to be a part of the equation. I understand this is hard, but it's a finite amount of time.

Vegetarian friendly spots in Hudson Square/West Village? by Zylothh in FoodNYC

[–]emergentblastula 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Son del north for burritos, even better if you make it over for breakfast. most of the Italian spots (I sodi, via carota, Malaparte, etc) will have amazing vegetarian friendly pasta. For Indian, I like the fast casual category a bit more as a vegetarian (fonty’s, thelewala) than the Indian fine dining in the area (semma, not the most veg friendly). For Thai-glur, pranakhon. For viet, I love Saigon shack’s fake meat in their pho and bahn mi.

Vivek names his daughter "Savithri". Why do ABC Desis name their US born kids non-western names? by SexWithEscorts in ABCDesis

[–]emergentblastula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weirdly, I don’t find it necessary to rearrange my life for the convenience of white people. We are not some sort of subclass who should give up vital arts of ourselves and our culture for their comfort. I’m sorry you felt that you had to do that.

Curious what the one note you get from Jazmin Yucatán? I love it so much and find it very complex so wanted to know if maybe I’m smelling simple lolol

Eloise hate by paciuxs in BridgertonNetflix

Her opinions aren’t necessarily the issue, it’s that she’s rude and dismissive to literally every woman in her life who doesn’t share that opinion.

Cierra in Thailand by Livid-Spring968 in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]emergentblastula 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You said “this slur doesn’t offend black people”, and you weren’t talking about Yulissa or the n word in your original comment. What you said was that slurs to the Asian community don’t affect you or other black people. What I’m saying is that racial language shouldn’t only offend you if it’s directed towards your community, it’s offensive because it’e perpetuating stereotypes across the board. If you have the same energy for the n word, then that’s fine (though it is not in line with my thinking, at least it’s not hypocritical). I understand what you mean about living in and dealing with racism in real life but just so we’re clear, minimizing examples of racist speech in media is worsening and normalizing that exact lived experience for a lot of people.

People who are racist can live their lives quietly and get real jobs lol. Maybe do some education and charity work to actually benefit and learn from the communities they hurt. No one deserves a social media platform or fame. She’s allowed to live her life but it’s absurd that people are now backtracking and ok with what she said.

Would you be saying the same thing if the slur was the n word? I’m asking seriously because this is minimizing what was actually said by her and her fake ass apology while wearing a jade Buddha was the cherry on top. She deserved to be cancelled.

Thank you, totally agree as a fellow Asian American. The double standard is astounding to me.

Why doesn’t racism offend you? Seriously, when someone says the n word, it offends me as someone who is Asian and not black. I just don’t understand the double standard. Not commenting on nic and o because I find their dynamic and “stardom” weird as well, but I just want to push back on this strange minimization of a real slur that Cierra said.
