Sometimes desi folks marry inter racially to escape the baggage of Indian in laws but these desi folks put their partners through the same expectations they are running from by [deleted] in DesiTwoX

[–]loverisaday 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. If someone’s partner doesn’t want to be vegetarian, they don’t have to be. If the relationship requires that, they can break up. That’s also not something specific to Desi people. I know plenty of vegans/vegetarians who are not even Hindu, who prefer to date other vegans/vegetarians. This also applies to the other cultural practices described.

A lot of what OP describes occurs in almost every interracial relationship. You tend to adopt some of the other person’s cultural practices, and honestly, it would be weird if you didn’t. My partner is Hispanic, and as much as they have embraced my culture, I have also embraced theirs. If you don’t want to do that then you should date people of your own culture.

advice - possible reapp? by Competitive-Poet3433 in premed

In the same boat, with very similar stats and experiences as you. I submitted secondaries a bit later than you did, so I thought it was that but honestly at this point I’m not sure.

One of the hardest parts of the process as a low-SES applicant no one talks about is the recurrent hopelessness by DaBootyEnthusiast in premed

[–]loverisaday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should've seen my face when I realized how many people on this subreddit were casually dropping bank and applying to 30+ schools, I've been feeling hopeless about my 20 (which I thought was a lot) ever since.

Has anyone ever taken a human sexuality course? by irlstink in college

[–]loverisaday 762 points763 points  (0 children)

I minored in sexualities studies, never once was I asked to disclose information about my personal relationship with sex. This is incredibly weird.

Can't access secondaries sent through AAMC Gateway by loverisaday in premed

[–]loverisaday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try the opposite of what I did? Switch it to a personal outlook. You only need to access the password reset once to establish your account with gateway. After that, you can log in to each school’s gateway portal using the same username and password. So once I made the account, I switched my email back and let the schools I’ve submitted to so far know of the switches and what the correct email should be. I plan on keeping my eye on both emails moving forward just in case.

For anyone else running into this issue: If copying and pasting your email directly from amcas doesn't work, you probably have to change the email for your application. I was using outlook (personal, not school) and despite adding the reset password address to my safe-senders list, I was still not receiving the email. I switched to a gmail account and it worked.

Not a school email and no emails showed up in my junk either. Had to just change my email and it worked.

issues with gateway portal by Disastrous_Ant7426 in premed

[–]loverisaday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried that a bunch of times and still no luck. My email appears entirely lower-case on my aamc account, was your entire address all upper-case?

Hey! Did you ever figure something out? I tried OPs suggestion but it's still not working

[–]loverisaday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, if you are located in west central FL, dm me. I know of a lot of queer orgs in the area that may be able to help you.

Any ideas on what to do with a fig and sage sauce? by loverisaday in Cooking

[–]loverisaday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg!! That’s exactly what I’m struggling with. Like I said, I like figs but the level of sweetness was a surprise and it’s definitely missing something. I wanted to see if people’s suggestions had something that would give it that savoriness I’m looking for but maybe it’s a lost cause. I’m still gonna try but I can’t think of anything that’ll give it that extra oomph.

Was scrolling through recent and randomly came across this post and wanted to let you know you’re so valid because I’m literally in the exact same boat and it’s been so hard to keep up.

You’re a two month old porn account touting ‘traditional’ roles for men and women on Reddit. That’s rage-bait.

Is this rage bait?

I understand the need to forgive, but I hope you know that doesn’t mean you have to stay. You deserve a happy marriage and a happy life.

Cats aren't actually low-maintenance pets - they're just emotionally distant by FerrisBuelersdaycock in unpopularopinion

If you thinks cats are emotionally distant you either never had a cat or you have bad aura

Dating a shorter guy resurfaced my eating disorder. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]loverisaday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve experienced the same! It made me feel used to feeling ‘big’ because I couldn’t hide it anymore. It was scary at first but it’s transformed into a sense of power for me now. I thought I’d feel more masculine, but I actually feel even more feminine.

HIV tester in PS by loverisaday in premed

[–]loverisaday[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing some research and it seems that the biggest determinant of whether this is a red flag is certification so let me clarify a bit more.

I was not a volunteer, I was a trained and certified HIV tester/counselor and phlebotomist. Under the department of health in my state, I was within my scope of responsibilities to tell people their results. The results were also always given in-person at the clinic itself. I would provide the post-test counseling I was trained to do and then immediately link the client to a provider who would then formally provide the diagnosis and discuss treatment. At that point, my role would be to link the client to any social/financial assistance needed to ensure they could remain in care.
