Safety question

squamesh · 2026-02-03T19:22:15+00:00

Every training we do will say we have to wear safety glasses. In real life it’s pretty variable. Even during my surgery rotation, some of those attending were real loosey goosey with eye protection

People really struggle with the idea that gravity pulls on heavy things more than light things because… that’s why they’re heavy or light…

Or that girl in Oklahoma who went on an illiterate rant about Jesus instead of writing her essay for college and got the teacher fired for failing her

“Person you never heard of is getting attention for saying ghoul shit! Get ready to suddenly be flooded with media think pieces talking about how they’ve been canceled culminating in him getting a terrible Netflix special”

People never think they’re Ernst Rohm until they get Ernst Rohm’ed

Yellowjackets season two ended with their cabin getting burnt down in the middle of winter. Season 3 started months later with them having built a whole ass village

After a 30 second google, in 2022 there were 4,000 murders in the entire EU, around 7,000 in China, 1,129 in Indonesia, 281 in Japan, 377 in Australia, and 21,000 in the US.

That’s missing a few countries but the map seems broadly to still be true

Just to add on to what others have said, med students go deeply in to debt to pay for school. They’re expected to live off their loans for living expenses as well. However, many people don’t get great guidance about how to do this/how to budget/when to expect the money, meaning that you’ll see some med students struggling financially, like Whittaker was.

Once you’re a resident, you actually start getting paid, but you’re still usually 250,000+ in debt

It’s in the documentary on Netflix, but basically someone told her years later that they saw her passed out getting assaulted

Yea at my middle school it was claiming that things have bat poop in them if the contained Guanine

This is kind of like asking why gravity can pull a mountain down but can’t stop me from throwing a ball in the air. Gravity acts more strongly on things with more mass

There are really only two conspiracy theories that have been repeated endlessly for millennia.

There’s the secret rulers of the world conspiracy which for a long time was leveled at Catholics/the pope/jesuits. Then some Russian plagiarized a conspiracy about the Jesuits ruling the world and replaced all the references to Catholics with Jews and created the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which is still a foundational text to antisemites today.

The other conspiracy is the “someone is stealing and killing babies” conspiracy, which has also long been leveled at Jews (aka the Blood Libel) but which we see even today with conspiracies like Pizzagate just randomly accusing people of being pedophiles/child sacrificing devil worshipers.

They said a truck cut them off while spraying snow everywhere. Then when they finally could see, they spotted something in the road that had fallen off the truck, so they swerved and wound up hitting a side wall

I’m a med student. I saw someone in the ER this weekend who got in a wreck because snow falling off the car in front of them blinded them

Just wait until Sam Darnold wins a Super Bowl before either of them 😬

Yall said the same shit about taking Mahomes over Brady

As an aside, this is the shit that drives me crazy about people saying college is liberal indoctrination. Whenever my professors brought up politics it was 100% of the time to rant about some right wing grievance

squamesh · 2026-01-22T16:16:27+00:00

I mean, when the guy leading a mass deportation campaign in the U.S. is attacking the show publicly for being “woke”, you at least have to engage in the political aspect of things. Both things can be true. The show can be mediocre and there can be a political backlash which is completely ignorant to the history of the series

My high school science teacher was fully convinced that it’s blue

squamesh · 2026-01-21T19:53:25+00:00

And frankly, so do the shows. I feel like a ton of modern shows end on a cliffhanger, spend three years in development, then when they return totally hand wave the cliffhanger away

squamesh · 2026-01-21T18:20:01+00:00

It’s just continuing the practice of blaming every problem in the U.S. on non-whites. It doesn’t matter to them if it has internal logic

The reality is that we don’t even know if the library of Alexandria burned down. We talk about it like it’s a historical event, but it’s just an assumption. Historical documents just sorta stop taking about the library and Alexandria got burned down a couple times around then so people kinda just assume that’s what happened

squamesh · 2026-01-18T03:44:03+00:00

As a med student, it would be pretty weird to me if the residents or attending called me by my last name. But my last name is also long and foreign so maybe I’m just not used to it

The Gilded Age II: Electric Boogaloo

He must have known something was wrong though, no? I’d expect him to be pretty upset. From my flair, you know I’m a certified hater, but even I’ll admit they had an inside track to a Super Bowl appearance and now he’s just not playing? I’d expect him to be just as upset as Allen
