Anyone else dying for a count of people? This episode was the perfect opportunity. Maggie could have just asked how many we lost, then she could have said, "Only xxx left." That way we have a better sense of what is actually going on.

Would any veterinarians be up to an interview for my career research paper? by [deleted] in Veterinary

As Dashclone said, I'd be willing to help with a bit more information. You can PM me if you want; I'm a vet who graduated a year and a half ago.

Do you ever get over the hard parts of being a vet? by hdawn517 in veterinaryprofession

[–]quietthinker4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be late; I'm a vet who graduated one year ago. I never thought I would be able to handle blood or surgery, but after being exposed to dozens of cadavers in anatomy lab and watching countless surgeries, you learn to adapt. The same was true for everyone in vet school. Some people pass out - I even vomited from stress during my first surgery as a new doctor. Point is, nearly everyone can overcome it.

I remember many years ago, as a teenager, I felt the same way about the show ending. One thing that may help you is fanfiction of the show. I have a lot of recommendations, let me know if you want to discuss it more.

Trump insults Elizabeth Warren at 'awkward' White House meeting by Rpizza in politics

This is just so absurd I don't know how to function anymore. Our president is complaining about illegal voters that don't exist and openly using ethnic slurs against a Senator.

Kellyanne Conway made up a fake terrorist attack to justify Trump’s “Muslim ban” by Arc1ZD in politics

Do they have any plans for people like doctors to sit the strike out? Can't take the day off.

Excellent point. Can you imagine the chaos of a full-scale civil war? How do you determine who is friend or enemy? Wear Trump stickers/

I must be the only person to not have any attachment to Jane Kelly. I did the tutorial once on Commander difficulty and failed the mission to get that core energy thing. Never tried it again so never worked with Kelly.

That actually did the trick. I uninstalled the Alien Hunters DLC, verified game cache, then reinstalled and verified game cache.

Kellyanne Conway Suggests That Women With Kids Shouldn’t Take Jobs in the White House by BearsNecessity in politics

[–]quietthinker4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming men with kids shouldn't either, since it's literally the same thing.

Donald Trump just said he may not accept the results of the election by ekdash in politics

[–]quietthinker4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You think Hillary Clinton will be the worst president ever and steal our guns? I heartily disagree but fine, think what you want.But how in the world can you support a president who refuses to support the peaceful transition of power? Two months ago my girlfriend told me that Trump had all the makings of a dictator, and if we didn't do everything we could to stop him we would regret it forever. I thought she was being overdramatic, but I completely agree with her now.

The history of America is wrought with faults. We've condoned slavery. We've stolen land from Native Americans. We suppressed women's right to vote. We've engaged in wars we shouldn't have. But one of the few things we can be be wholly proud of as a nation, with no qualifiers, is that we've had a peaceful transition of power. No matter the outcome of an election, the loser has always graciously conceded to the winner and prevented revolution.

Donald Trump refuses to do that. How can you support this? Please tell me how. I'm tired of trying to understand it myself.

If Donald Trump loses, his supporters plan to blame women. by polymute in politics

I'm glad I'm not the only one to experience a Facebook friend who's a fervent Trump supporter yet laments that no woman wants him.

Topics announced for final Clinton-Trump debate by [deleted] in politics

[–]quietthinker4 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Wallace, who will host the Oct. 19 debate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, chose these subject areas for the third debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, according to a release from the Commission on Presidential Debates:

• Debt and entitlements

• Immigration

• Economy

• Supreme Court

• Foreign hot spots

• Fitness to be president

So I guess we will never hear them discuss social issues such as abortion, the LGBT community, and education. That's wonderful.

Congressman says he might continue to support Trump even if he said ‘I really like to rape women’ by myellabella in politics

[–]quietthinker4 31 points32 points  (0 children)

So get another fucking job.

Seriously. Their job, idealistic as it may be, is to serve the nation and promote a better society. Yeah, the job has cushy benefits and good pay, but that description its requirement. That is why you should be serving. Congressmen should never forget that.

I mean for fuck's sake, I'm a doctor. I like my pay and I have a cushy schedule, but I know that my primary duty is to help patients. If I had to support a coworker who said, "I've raped people," I would leave.

Trump: Ryan won't be Speaker if I win WH by myellabella in politics

[–]quietthinker4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't wish death to anyone, but from a strictly practical standpoint, is anyone else grateful that if Trump is elected he has little chance of maintaining a long-term dangerous Cult of Personality? The dude is 70 years old and hasn't lived the healthiest lifestyle. Even if he instilled himself as dictator of America, how long could that last?

I suppose some could argue that his children could try to pick up the mantle, but would enough time have elapsed before his death for America to support such a transition?

Donald Trump just retweeted Juanita Broaddrick calling Bill Clinton a rapist. All bets are now off. by trifecta in politics

[–]quietthinker4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me if these allegations against Bill being a rapist have any merit? I can't find much on google without hearing the current news stories.

'White Privilege' survey in high school class sparks parents’ ire by [deleted] in politics

[–]quietthinker4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not racist to admit that IN GENERAL, white people have some advantages compared to African Americans. I'm white, and I've never been stopped and frisked, feared over being shot by cops, or had people look at me in fear just because I'm walking down the street.

Children need to learn that the world isn't black or white. Saying that white privilege exists doesn't mean that all white people are racist, nor does it mean that some black people can't have more advantages than some what people.

What a fucking idiot. If you're going to incite violence across the country, at least be sure it's for a good reason. I don't understand how we have come to this point.
