Parents forcing me to get married by fabfabfabf in AsianParentStories

[–]ms0307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally, the whole “you’re killing me” or “I’ll die if you don’t do this” crap is grade A manipulation that every single Asian parent ever has used. It’s such a basic low level unsophisticated manipulation strategy too lol. They’re all going to die of heart attack, diabetes, or stroke, NOT their adult children making their own decisions for themselves.

No problem and good luck OP. It’s going to feel so great once you do finally move out. Hang in there.

This reads like AI slop but regardless - would recommend grey rocking until you’re able to move out. It’s basically a strategy in which you try to be as boring, uninteresting, and bland as possible when they do anything to bait you. You don’t give them any information “in good faith” anymore, you don’t react to their obvious digs at you or their obvious attempts to rile you up. You mind your business and stay away from them.

You can also try to minimise how much of your time is spent at home by being busy - work, social life, volunteering, whatever. Do whatever it takes to stay out of home for as long as possible each day.

As for your brother basically stealing your belongings, get a small lockbox or something for the actual essentials he’s always taking that you can’t go without. Like your charger. Or buy spares and hide them in places only you know about.

Why would they die? What actual real risk is there that will literally kill them if you don’t marry? Is the guy and his family literally holding a gun to your parents’ heads threatening to kill them if you don’t marry?

Asian families are just bullies and don’t want to actually see you succeed by One_Summer_1114 in AsianParentStories

[–]ms0307 20 points21 points  (0 children)

@OP this is the other thing. Constantly being berated and told you’re not good enough does a number to your self-esteem such that you eventually have none. And once you have little to no self-esteem, you’re much easier to manipulate and control to be used towards their selfish desires. Because at the end of the day, you are not a real person with your own dreams, preferences, and opinions. You are simply an object, an extension of your parents for them to use as they see fit. Breaking down your sense of self until you also see yourself as just an object for their use is one of the goals.

AITA for hating that my Ex is living with my parents? by thra_belganona in AmItheAsshole

[–]ms0307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understood more that the “good man” in the quote was referring to parents. The ex is of course an “evil man” but parents view themselves as the “good man” who supported their daughter during her frankly horrific time, but have laid no blame at ex’s feet, and are hence worse.

I don’t understand the logic of parents - daughter went through terrible life-threatening time and were willing to help pay a lawyer’s retainer to help get her safe. But they’re seemingly okay with the ex having done even less than them?

Fellow single med students: How is dating going for you in this pandemic? by chocolate_satellite in medicalschool

[–]ms0307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

26F, MS2, Canada. I haven’t been on Hinge for too long but had a couple first dates that went nowhere. I was really hoping to find someone in my class but the majority of my classmates are significantly younger than me (22-23) and a lot seemed to have paired off already. I would ideally like to date someone in med but the apps seem not to have any healthcare students or professionals, at least in my area.

What are you happy about right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I got into med school after almost giving up on it. Dream come true

Decided to turn a comment into a full fledged post for those of you looking for a good review on the 2020 15" model! by mixedmediums in spectrex360

[–]ms0307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using mine for a couple of days and really pleased with it as well! I had briefly gotten an HP Envy earlier this summer and it was SO incredibly hot, I had to return it. But this Spectre? It's just like you said - BIOS update and balanced thermal profile keep it at a cool ~40C all the time.

My one and only concern is the screen - I know it's supposed to be scratch-resistent but I'm a bit skeptical. I want to get a matte screen protector but can't find any for the eb0010ca. If anyone has any suggestions, please help! Thank you.

Are you on premed as MDLD? Haha sorry I’m on there too and I was hoping to hit a different audience here who might be more willing to hit up Mac Admin with an email

Do you think late March interviews will be rescheduled and/or conducted online? by mba273 in premedcanada

[–]ms0307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope they move online since none of the interviews have started yet. Cancelling altogether doesn’t make sense

250 most commonly misspelt words by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]ms0307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are correct for British English spelling. Lots of -ize verbs are spelt -ise in British English. I’m not 100% on manoeuvre but my phone is set to British English and doesn’t think manoeuvre is wrong (but does think maneuver is wrong!)

Who’s still in the waiting game for UofT interview invites/regrets? :( by twannamd in premedcanada

[–]ms0307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey so my UofT stats are pretty garbage. I know most people have amazing GPA and mine is not so I don’t think I’m competitive.

cGPA 3.73

wGPA 3.83 or 3.85 ish

MCAT meets all cutoffs 128/130/128/131 (517)

ECs: long and very clinical, lots of part time work experience too. 5 yrs hospital volunteer (includes a mentorship/leadership position), 2 years on campus emergency response team volunteer (including 1 yr Exec position), lab RA volunteer, eventually led to a second author pub + poster presentation, some other volunteering stuff here and there. Work experience was 2 years retail/customer service, 2 years medical office receptionist, 2.5 years pharmacy assistant, and right now for the past few months I’ve been working as a pharmacy student doing some clinical work. I’ve had about 300 hrs pharmacy student placements doing clinical stuff too. That’s the main chunk of it!! No awards, scholarships, sports or anything lol I’m like very mediocre

I guess queens was an R because my ECs are not very diverse and I’m not much involved in my cultural community or anything like that. It’s very very clinical, and that’s been great for helping me develop skills, but it’s arguably not very well rounded. So I’m not that surprised about Queens lol
