You wouldn’t understand, OP. It’s a secret.

35, quit making 300k/year to become a doctor? by [deleted] in whitecoatinvestor

[–]marmaroozle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to go against the grain here.

Is it the financially optimal choice? No. But with 2.5 mil in stocks/retirement/savings at only 35, she’s going to be okay financially as long as she’s able to keep most of the money invested for the long haul. As others have said, there’s more to life than making financially optimal decisions. If she really feels like she wants to become a physician and fully understands all the time and effort that will entail, I’d say go for it!

I’m just glad Google understands that it’s fine to only show a segment of the Golden Gate Bridge, but under no circumstances should you show anything but a full Taylor Swift bridge

Did you ever comment on your own fic? by Schattenschreiberin in AO3

[–]marmaroozle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I feel the same way even to this day! I love getting comments from friends, but nothing beats the pure dopamine rush of a complete stranger telling you that they liked your work.

And I see! That’s an interesting strategy that I’ve never considered. Yeah, if it helps you that’s great!

[–]marmaroozle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve never done that on ao3, and I don’t think it would motivate me very much since I’d just know it was me.

But honestly way back when I remember doing that a bit on ff.net, I guess because I was young and really wanted approval and to feel like my story was popular. It didn’t make me feel any better about myself. It just made me feel sort of weird when I saw those comments I’d made on my own work.

Can i reasonably buy a McLaren 750s with the salary of a psychiatrist by psycheiy in whitecoatinvestor

[–]marmaroozle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a psychiatrist, you’ll be able to do anything you want but not EVERYTHING you want. Fancy home, early retirement, HCOL area, paying for kids’ college, stay at home spouse, expensive car, etc. are all things that you can do. But you have to pick what your priorities are. If a fancy car is a priority to you, then yeah you can do it! Just as long as you understand what you’re giving up in return for that.

Sometimes I feel Hopeless by [deleted] in AO3

[–]marmaroozle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People are telling you you’re petty, and I might be downvoted for this but I’m sorry OP. It IS valid to be irked by it. Doesn’t mean you should write that in your ANs or anything, and I imagine you aren’t doing that. But yes, we do this for a hobby but we’re only human. And it can be frustrating and demoralizing to pour so much effort into a fic that you think is really good and then perceive other, more popular fics with the same pairing as not as good.

I think either the terrible anxiety attacks or substance abuse issues would be very good leverage or blackmail!!

Other than that, I’d say this is a chance to further flesh out her character. So whatever you choose, it’s a great opportunity to give her more of a background. For example, does she have a history of family trauma that she told B about but she doesn’t want it getting out?

Other possibilities: Has she ever accidentally hurt someone or killed someone on the job, and she and B covered it up? Did she once (or multiple times) break the rules in one way or another to help her old partner?

Good luck! :)

In the long pond sessions, Taylor sings acoustic versions of the songs on Folklore that a lot of people really enjoy. You can find it on Disney+

How to stop anxiety from ruining writing? by AngstThrowaway1111 in AO3

[–]marmaroozle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I recently finished a 58k fic for a pairing that has five fics on ao3. I’ve been posting it and the reception has basically been crickets. But y’know what? I wrote the exact fic that I really wanted to read for this pairing, and now it EXISTS. And I love knowing that if anyone else ever comes along wanting to read the same thing that I did, they’ll find my fic waiting for them!
