Assuming what she says is true, all women will be middle-aged one day (if they’re lucky.) If they marry young and don’t have education or a career, according to her, their husbands will still be wanting 20-year-olds. Only difference is the women who go “trad” will be broke and subject to age discrimination when they have to enter the workforce after their man trades them in.
Women initiate 70% of all divorces and 90% in the college educated group.

It isn’t men “trading them in”.

All of them. :confused:

It would be so unbelievably one-sided.

Yea, that will fail.

EverQuest has survived due to the nostalgia of original players.

The paid monthly sub MMOs are a dying breed.

Student should be suspended. :dunno:

Children should not talk to authority figures that way.

Really good sushi.

Never had the oysters.

There is Poor Boy’s Riverside Inn in Broussard right outside NI that has really good raw oysters. Had the crawfish and crab bisque there recently. Damn good.

Bon Creole has great poboys.

Pie Bar is solid.

Jane’s is solid.

Visit Jefferson Island and Avery Island.

Visit the Shadows and the museum if you like history.

You can run at the park in the mornings. Usually older people walking there then. They have signs that give you the distance of the running track.

Yea, Scruffy knows all 20.

As someone who has no clue at all what goes on in surgery, what's the deal with hands not being able to rest by your sides?
Less control with hands hanging down and increased risk of bumping into something not sterile, like a table.

By keeping your hands above the waste and in front of your chest, you are pretty much always in contact only with the sterile field.

There are a lot of different rules that seem strange in the OR.

Another is you should never pass someone with their back to your front. Considered infection risk.

My niece has only been in her residency for a few months now, and she already has some great stories about stuff like this.
Some of those nurses will embarrass the frick out of you too.

I have seen dressing down on par with what I figure military personnel experience in boot camp.
quote:

I"ve been in a lot of OR's over the years and that is far from the norm and should've been stopped in it's tracks day one. Many surgeons want music playing but they're not in there rocking out. shite like this makes the entire profession look bad even though it's a very small, mostly DEI population. And a few crazies that should've never been allowed through the system.
The ones Scruffy has been in are run by nurses who are fascistic in their level of control.

People getting kicked out for dropping their hands too low or “almost” touching things they shouldn’t.

:lol:
According to Twitter, that video is from 2018, she lost her license for a while, got it back, changed her name, went yo work in Texas, was discovered by the public, and then was fired in 2024 or so because of outcry.

:lol:

I bet she was a horrible resident and there were signs that should have prevented her even completing her training.
Yes.

Our economy would not function if our population was financially literate though.

The American, and to an extent global, economy is supported by debt.

If my household income is $750k and i get a $175 speeding ticket do you think that impacts me the same way that a $175 parking ticket impacts someone making $25k a year?
If I hit someone with my car and kill them, putting me in prison would have a much greater impact on the world around me since I am a doctor than if a drug addict hits someone, therefore I should get less of a sentence.

It also would have a greater impact on my family since I support them.

I like your mindset.

Curious if Reddit wasn’t around how many of those people would have snapped back to reality/realized they’re acting crazy and stopped. But with social media they’re able to solidify their craziness.
Probably 90+%.

They used to make movies about breaking people like that out of their shells and getting them out into the world.

Now, they feed off each other and their insanity is affirmed as reasonable.

Serious question. Why would they do this?
Serious answer.

Enlistment numbers are down and the possibility of needing physical boots on the ground is high.

They did it for the Iraq invasion in the early 2000s for the same reason.
