I was admittedly well familiar with the Winter Soldier character before the first Cap movie came out (especially since Winter Soldier was revived in the comics in 2005 and only a few years before the Cap movie). So I knew Bucky was going to live and that he’d turn up as Winter Soldier in the second Cap movie (though…

Comatose gods. Very catchy

Would they say “will return” if it’s for something like a flashback? That’d be about the only tolerable reason.

There’s very definitely gender bias (justified, in many cases), but I think a lot of us have just almost always had OB/GYNs who were women and that creates a natural preference. The one time I had a male OB/GYN, who happened to be a great doctor, a woman (nurse) had to be in the room as well, and frankly the less…

That you resent women for having a perfectly understandable preference and don’t demonstrate a shred of compassion or understanding here makes me super glad you quit.

Can attest to this. Had a strong interest in gynecology but during my Ob-Gyn rotation, the residents made it unbearable. Incredibly snarky and sometimes, downright assholes. Couldn’t imagine having them as colleagues until I retired.

For one thing, the residency programs I talked with were ironically very against their residents taking maternity leave.

I sat at a table last week with a bunch of internal and family medicine residents before a lecture (I am not one). Not a single one was interested in delivering babies. Among the reasons: hours too unpredictable, the chance for complications, needy patients, and a lot of them thought childbirth was gross (funny coming…

Not the original poster that you replied to, but when I did my Ob/Gyn rotation (I am a male) the residents, who were almost exclusively female, were exclusionary to all of the rotating medical students. We would often find them giving lectures or teaching the female residents after we had been assigned to go round on…

Under the US Constitution, the President has the power to grant pardons for federal criminal offenses, and not in cases of impeachment (as noted in article above). The governors of each state have the authority to grant pardons for state crimes (pursuant to their state constitutions, and I am not entirely sure but I…

The only mild comfort I have when I read things like this is that this dude is old and fat and tired and ugly and clearly his loneliness and isolation have made him miserable for the majority of his life. What joy has he ever really experienced that didn’t also make him feel secretly, deeply, crushingly inadequate?…

I was on my way to become big an Ob/gyn, when every single Ob/gyn resident told me during my fourth year of medical school to pick something else. They were miserable and those that were married (like me) were divorced by the end of their residency. There are cultural problems within the specialty. I picked radiology…

I’ve had skin cancer 6 times. Umbrellas blow away and UV clothes are hot AF. I love the beach, but I need to sit in the shade and we don’t have those nice beaches with trees on them around here. It’s asphalt, dune, beach. There are always a bunch of tents, never occurred to me before I had one that it was rude. The…

Governor Christie?

So those of us who burn in ~20 minutes should just skip the beach, so as to not “inconvenience” you?

Go where there’s no tents? I mean-it shouldn’t be that hard to avoid the tent people.

Umbrellas are a bitch to dig into the ground and have a tendency to blow away. :(

Having just returned from the beach, umbrellas are fine if you’re by yourself or don’t care if your feet get sunburned.

Does the tent have the ability to block obnoxious music and let you only hear the waves and seagulls? If not, can someone kindly make a “jerk who thinks we allllll want to hear his shitty music” jamming device that would suddenly turn his music into polka or a lengthy reading of a wallpaper application article…

I have heat stroke just looking at that
