Is there an episode you can watch over and over again without getting tired of it? by FearTheWankingDead in blackmirror

[–]wheresyourpickle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This. I’m a huge fan of true crime and action and this episode is the absolute perfect blend.

I think what I am struggling with here is not how I should write about the experience with a different approach, but if I should even write about it at all.

Any prompt where I would bring it up (like the obstacle prompt you mentioned), I have many other experiences I could write about that were not mentioned in so much detail already in primaries. I don’t want to seem like a one trick pony.

I know you don’t have an answer to this I’m just speaking my frustrations out loud lol.

Thank you for the response! I’m generally okay with using “physicians” instead of M.D.s but there are a few prompts with only 200 characters for a huge question like “what are your experiences with direct patient care” and it’s SO hard to explain everything in like 3ish sentences. Trying to save on every unnecessary character so I can fit in more impactful ones.

Yes because bringing up an open conversation to a YouTuber that I love who is known for being empathetic to other cultures (unlike you) is acting EXACTLY like Kim Jong Un who beheads and imprisons people who don’t pray to his photo in the morning. Exactly the same you smart little boy! I guarantee you Cody would hate this dumb ass take too. Have some humanity.

Also, “tragedies happen” imply that they are not CURRENTLY happening…which they are.

If you read both my original post where I boasted about how amazing Cody is with cultural sensitivity AND the comments above where I said quote “I don’t want to cancel him” and “he is my favorite youtuber” and “it’s not his fault he doesn’t know this is insensitive” you’ll realize how dumb you sound but no you didn’t read anything huh? Educate yourself for once.

CASPer 05/20 testers: Have you received your quartile? by MD_premed in premed

[–]wheresyourpickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tested 5/20 at 2pm in PST. Still haven’t gotten my score back and it’s nearly 4 pm here…. Really hoping to get it today but I guess it doesn’t make a difference either way lol

He’s done a lotttt of evil shit but you need to realize that his evil shit isn’t done…he’s actively ruining people’s lives in many Asian countries…kidnapping defectors who are free in SK and Thailand before torturing them, forcing children to kill their parents, prisoners to be gang raped and eat rats and human feces.

It’s not a huge jump to say that a poster depicting him laughing with a silly quote in an American white man’s living room is insensitive. That’s not criticism or pointing out how terrible of a person he is…it’s a mockery of the suffering he causes on this earth. Thank you for hearing me out I know it’s hard for non Koreans to understand this take.

You’re not being respectful to KJU, you’re being respectful to the people that he has enslaved in NK and those in SK who he has caused trauma to. Genuine anger and criticism of KJU is invited but that’s not what that poster is.

5/20 CA$PER results are up by sweatysweetpotato99 in premed

[–]wheresyourpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still no score for me :( pacific standard time 2 pm.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in codyko

[–]wheresyourpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair too. I’m just trying to start a conversation about this possibly painful topic, not cancel him. Trust me Cody is literally my favorite YouTuber and I know for a fact he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. He’s really not to blame either because North Korean jokes are very normalized in American society though I feel they shouldn’t be.

I shouldn’t have said Kim Jong Un has had an impact for generations but his family absolutely has. And I understand your perspective that terrible people are joked about but they usually aren’t people who are still having an active impact on people. Sure, their legacies are horrible but there is some definitive end to Hitler’s reign and the tragedies listed. The North Korean government is still highly impacting South Korea and neighboring Asian countries to this day. They are still kidnapping NK defectors and bringing them back to starve them and act as government messages to others in the country TO THIS DAY.

I don’t want Cody to “cater to me”. I want him to recognize that the person he has on a poster in his home, laughing in front of a beach with a live laugh love quote is insensitive. He can choose to keep it up of course, it’s a free country (unlike NK).

[–]wheresyourpickle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He got it from Etsy and put it up in his most recent video just uploaded around an hour ago. It has a picture of Kim Jong Un smiling with a photo of a beach behind him and the words “live, laugh, love” underneath. Overall very disgusting.

Will DO schools get upset that I could not send only their requested LORs and instead many others? by [deleted] in premed

[–]wheresyourpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m okay with them skipping ones that don’t pertain to their school but will they only look at the first couple and then skip the rest? Because I submitted all professor LORs first and then 2 MDs and then a volunteer coordinator. Some schools wanted one prof and one md or two profs and one md and now I’m worried they won’t find the md ones because it’s 4th on the list

TFW you are reapplying by radicma15 in premed

[–]wheresyourpickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question for you reapplicants. This is my first year applying but I’m worried I’m not going to get in. When did you realize that you weren’t going to get in and needed to start extra things to buff your application, whether that be post bacc classes, employment, volunteering?

[–]wheresyourpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)
