Maybe it was like back when I was applying to colleges and the rich high schools “weighted” gpas if the classes were AP or honors.

I know you didn’t ask me, but yes, this is how America runs. And gaming systems is such a part of American culture that I’m shocked that anyone batted an eye at this. I’m from a moderately wealthy area and rich parents (median wealthy family income about $500,000/year) do all sorts of things like this to get their…

Let’s be honest, though, little Huffman didn’t edge out a more deserving POC, she edged out another mediocre white girl whose parents didn’t pony up enough money. The system is rigged in favor of the richest/most famous white people. Rich, white parents who are nobodies pull these stunts constantly to get their kids…

Same. I grew up in a ritzy part of upstate NY and rich parents were constantly doing shit like this to get their progeny into the Ivy league. The outrage is because women are the ones gaming the system men set up and still benefit from. 

My mom too. She definitely modeled her 70s look off of a mixture of Ali McGraw and Mary Tyler Moore in the 70s. 

Every boomer I know speaks in haunted tones about taking cover under their desks during nuclear drills. It couldn’t have been that bad if they are so unbothered by Russian interference in our electoral process. Fucking candy asses, every one.

Probably bc the Silent Generation could wipe the floor with them. My dad was silent geberatiin my mom is a boomer. She didn’t want to have anything to do with the lazy, whiny, self-absorbed, entitled mama’s boys in her own generation. When I was growing up, all of my friends’ dads were terrified/deeply respectful of…

The first time I heard the story about people being concerned about Kennedy’s Irish catholic pledge of loyalty to the Pope, I was in my mid 20s. I remember wondering outloud to my mother, who would pledge loyalty to the Pope and she was like, 'we all do when were confirmed, you did too'. For the record, I was forced…

Can confirm. I’m 100% Irish Catholic, my sister just got engaged to her moderately wealthy Jewish boyfriend. They’re just going to get married at city hall and both families are doing a shit job of hiding their relief at not having to spend money on a (they’re all really hoping first) wedding. My mother was…

I read it the other day in an article in relation to the low representation of POC among doctors. I wish I could remember what journal it was in. It was a great article.

Letter #1: go. Get out now. Don’t worry about externalities. One of my dearest friends got divorced 6 montha after her parents shelled out $25k for her wedding. Your parents would rather have you alive and healthy and happy then in an abusive relationship. GO.

Dunkin coffee tastes like dishwater. The Pumpmin spice is particularly gross. I like Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte better. Panera’s is usually the best.

Same. I dated the chief surgical resident at my local hospital about a decade ago and he... just did not inspire confidence. He knew his stuff when it came to medical information, but he seemed less than competent with applying it. The single greatest predictor for becoming a doctor is whether a person’s parents were…

Yeah. I would trust a nurse with a bit of experience over a med student/brand new graduate. My brother had a knife accident at Christmas last year and my sister ran around the house trying to figure out what to do until my best friend, a pediatric oncology nurse, stepped in quietly and fixed him up. And my sister gradu…

Fair. I guess I was considering it more like I could walk out of law school and proficiently act as a general practice attorney vs. my sister who was basically useless as a physician until she had been through her internship. But it is two different skill sets.

I see youve net my neighbor. Three kids: Luke Skywalker Wysocki, Moss Eisly Wysocki, Rea Organa Wysocki. Parents have tattoos him: I love you, her: I know. They also have 2 pit bulls, a giant trampoline that takes up their entire backyard, and a car wrapped with her ponzi scheme business logo. They are the worst.

I went on a date to a game with this guy once. We get out of the car and he fishes a glove out of his briefcase. I gave him a look and flat out told him that we wouldn’t be sitting anywhere near a spot that would even be in the neighborhood of possible that I would be getting hit in the face with a ball and that he…

Ding ding ding. I’m a lawyer. This question nearly gave me a heart attack. Law students in their 3rd year can be allowed to argue in a courtroom with judge’s permission and proper licensed lawyer supervision but that’s a specific scenario- also, law school is a training education. Med school is not.

This kid clearly hasn’t been through the class in med school where they talk about liability and malpractice. Also, he’s not licensed yet. If they ask for a doctor and this fucker sticks his hand in the air, he's risking a massive law suit and his entire career. 

Yeah. Let’s add this to it too:
