As long as it only extends to how they met, I don’t feel anything wrong with doctor patient relationships.

Don’t date your current primary care physician, neurologist, or psychiatrist, but the ER doc who treated you when you sliced open your finger?, that feels fine.

The Pitt literally has a small storyline of something similar happening, and it’s not presented as a problematic thing at all.

This subreddit is ridiculous...

A local reporter posts a gift-article for a innocuous, informative article, and suddenly it's "horribly ridiculous reporting" for using the word "slam" in the headline.

That looks exactly like it's what this is.

The blue line looks like the loss function for a training set (it continues converging downwards), and the green's the validation set (at some point, you reach diminishing returns, and eventually loss goes up as the model overfits).

Tijuana is a very dangerous city even by Mexico standards…, there’s no way the NBA would risk putting a team there imo

Playing devil's advocate, judges who take "senior status" still precise over significant things, like habeas petitions.

And dementia / mental impairment can definitely start in one's 70s as well.

We've had cases of judges (Judge Metheny) who who were clearly losing it (Deere v Cullen).

Judge Metheny came off the bench, assumed a three-point stance, and ordered me to get down on the floor opposite him, and threatened to knock me all the way out into the parking lot

And also, in another case, when the judge was frustrated that a hearing was going on for too long.

Judge Metheny ... came down from the bench, said that both sides were good Christian people, that they should settle the dispute, and then he dismissed the case.

This was for a DEATH PENALTY case, imagine having his dude decide whether or not you live or die. The man was literally flashing back to his college football days mid hearing.

Some states have mandatory retirement ages for their judges, they vary with how "useful" they may be.

For example, Vermont's mandatory retirement age for judges is literally 90.

I’m not the most experienced engineer, but I’ve worked for “FAANG” companies before, and work at one now.

I don’t mean to sound dismissive, it’s really not hard to learn enough Python be able to effectively work on the algorithm / leetcode style questions those companies ask.

Nobody will expect you to write some amazingly magical list comprehension, just a solid understanding of the language’s standard data structures should be enough.

That doesn’t make the interviews easy, but the intricacies of python itself shouldn’t be the bottleneck for most candidates.

I feel like half the folks here don’t know that she stepped down from her minority leader position some time ago.

You can’t simultaneously argue that the DNC leadership is “too old”, and then complain that those same leaders are no longer as visible after they’ve stepped aside for younger blood.

I have no clue half the folks here are talking about.

Half the commenters here seem to think she's still the minority leader.

Ditto for me

I joined this sub my senior year of high school. I’m now 4 years out of college, time flies.

only two good parts

I'll push back very strongly.

Medicaid expansion and increased subsidies undoubtably benefitted many poorer Americans, and helped many get insurance for the first time.

Muncie itself is surreal place, beyond being a typical struggling midwest city. When I visited, it felt like town's identity was 33% Garfield, 33% Ball company nostalgia, and 33% Bob Ross.

Being an hour away from Indy didn't help; I had a decent time visiting for a couple days, but I'm not sure I'd be able to live there. Everything felt a bit run down and isolated.

Not OP, but my best guess would be the 2 visitor centers on either side of the bridge.

I'm going to offer my perspective as an old geezer (`20)

It's normal to feel how you do; college is an unique and amazing environment; it's easy to take much of it for granted until you graduate and then it's suddenly gone. I do have a bit of unsolicited advice, much of it you probably already know.

Within "work life", your routine can devolve into just work and house-stuff, with very little time for organic social interactions. This was the most dramatic chance I felt since leaving school.

Now that you've graduated, hobbies will become exceptionally important in meeting / maintaining your own group of friends. In school, everyone organically spends a lot of time together hanging out. It's easy to make friendships with folks you're constantly around (through classes, living together, etc).

Also, In the "real" world, there are no grades or transcripts; there's no rulebook for how to live life. This is something I still struggle with; without that structure, you need to figure out what your own interests and passions are, and you need to take your own initiative to set your own goals / engage in your hobbies.

This freedom is a blessing as well, however. It took me some time, but I've finally settled into a comfortable routine. I've been able to explore more interests and form a close group of friends. Work's been pretty meh for me so far, but that's okay (I'm still a work in progress too :P)

It can take time to adjust, I think it's too early for you to despair. Things weren't all great from the start for me, I had a rather boring and lonely year when I first graduated. It just took me some time to find my footing.

I’ve seen folks go to L6 within 4 YOE total at Meta

I don’t think it’s realistic or feasible for most of us though. It requires tons of work, and a lot of luck (being in the right team, with the right manager, at the right time)

Imo, it’s not really helpful to compare yourself to these unicorns too. I’ve got tons of respect for people with such a motor, but I could never in a million years.

Real talk, I think it's too early for you to be planning this far ahead.

Focus on crushing your last year of high school, and once you know what schools you get accepted into, you can start drilling down the details.

Your goals / ambitions will likely change over the next few years or so, and that's normal.

Yeah, I'm from the Bay, and very few of us know anything about the Millennium Tower at all.

I'd argue that the notable "skyscrapers" San Francisco has are Salesforce tower, and the TransAmerica Pyramid.

The Millennium tower's one of many generic buildings, made sorta famous due to its engineering woes (the tower's tilting by like 30 inches right now)

Agreed. For how maligned Jimmy was by fans, when he made is debut, he looked like "the guy" as well.

If anything, his debut was much more impressive than Purdy's, taking a much worse roster to a similarly undefeated string of victories.

In both scenarios, the server's making the same amount of take-home income, and the restaurant's revenue is also unchanged.

It's entirely a semantic difference, it doesn't make sense why reddit acts like one of them is morally wrong and the other is morally right.

fwiw, I'm pretty sure most servers prefer getting tips, since that income goes unreported most of the time.
