And only for procrastinationI think I only started reading textbooks after I graduated

That's not true, sometimes I read them because I'm trying to learn stuff for casesAnd only for procrastination
Saaaame. I bought a surgery textbook in school, never read it, but have used it multiple times since for those things I don’t surgerize often.That's not true, sometimes I read them because I'm trying to learn stuff for cases
This happened a few hours away from me. It's absolutely tragic and reprehensible. If you're wondering whether the Texas government will do anything to prevent something else like this happening in the future, let me put your concerns to rest: they absolutely will not. I already saw someone pre-emptively wearing a "protect the 2nd amendment" hat on my local news tonight.Ugh off topic and so ****ing sad
Not related but 18 elementary kids mostly 7-10 years old got gunned down while at school today in Texas. Lotta feels. Self centered ones, are like becoming a parent you can def end up with a perma-knot in your belly, I hate the thought of sending my baby to school and like it's years off.
🥲 Brb, crying.I’ve said it before, but I think you are a very good WW player and a very nice one too.
Maybe @Lawpy can help with this one since his hands have been perpetually sweaty beforeDispleased. My fitbit has condensation under the screen. Like yes, I'm a sweaty human and I live somewhere very humid. Not like I'm jumping into a pool of magma.
These aren't the ideal conditions for me either, Fitbit!
Good god I'm old, why haven't I retired yetPaws pls, my noob game was in 2014
omg this was so funny as a tot who wasn't watching the livestream of the game, having no idea what was actually happening, and just hearing Zenge shrieking that there had to be 2 imposters left and everyone else being like "that's mathematically impossible" and yet it just ... kept goingBut then I remembered the time that we were playing among us, we were down to four people, and Zenge started frantically yelling about how we NEEDED to vote someone out because he programmed in two imposters
We told him that was impossible or else the game would already be over
But he insisted, and I (the single imposter) was like "Okie dokie, let's do it then" and I helped him vote out a crewmate
When the game continued on with three people, he became even more frantic, insisting there were still two imposters - which apparently meant he would have been the only crewmate left against two imposters?
Again, I let him vote out a crewmate, and I won because of his delusion
Hey Katie, I just hopped here to say I’m so so sorry and that I hope no one you knew was involved. It’s ****ed up, and I absolutely get why you wanna leave that state so badly. All these people should just stay in Texas with their guns and shoot each other cause that what they deserve.This happened a few hours away from me. It's absolutely tragic and reprehensible.

Because THAT's what matters right now, evidently. Not that almost twenty children died, but that Jeffrey in Amarillo is still entitled to feel like he has BDE because of his gun collection.
As far as I'm aware I don't know anyone involved. It's very disheartening when anything like this happens, but for it to be so close to me? Oof. And even moreso, seeing the response from those in power, which basically boils down to "thoughts and prayers" and knowing nothing will change? Double oof.Hey Katie, I just hopped here to say I’m so so sorry and that I hope no one you knew was involved. It’s ****ed up, and I absolutely get why you wanna leave that state so badly.

I know… it’s too much lately, no abortions, no baby formula (hope @Crayola227 is doing ok on that front). Bring kids to this world so we can show them who the real men are.As far as I'm aware I don't know anyone involved.

My dad renewing his NRA membership? Quadruple oof.
Ruthie will be right over!
How does Ruthie feel about snoot smooches?Ruthie will be right over!
If anyone needs a giggle, my Facebook memory today was Wobbles demonstrating her superior hunting technique.
Lol she definitely fits her name (I don’t even know if she’s wobbly when not hunting)
No one deserves this even if they support guns. That's a very tunneled outlookHey Katie, I just hopped here to say I’m so so sorry and that I hope no one you knew was involved.

Eh. Agree to disagree. Supporting guns is a primary factor in what allows stuff like this to happen. Unless schools turn into military bases to discourage people barging in there shooting kids, people who support guns, support the ability to purchase guns and thus the ability for someone to be a school shooter. It’s not just one unfortunate event, it’s too many.No one deserves this even if they support guns. That's a very tunneled outlook
Also, here she is getting annoyed with her sister.
I will stop spamming with videos of my cats now. It's a side effect of being post capped.
These children are born into states that reflect their parents ideologies. They do not deserve it. Their classmates do not deserve it.

It has been asked for before, but doesn't seem to have materialized.*****
No worries, I just thought I was going crazy because my brain was trying to figure out which 'he' you were referring to
I'd love if the forum let us have pronouns under our avatars, would help a ton. @Lawpy please enact this.

To be clear, i wasn’t referring to the citizens of Texas, but to the people that are against repealing the 2nd amendment. I wasn’t proposing this as a solution. I was having an emotional response. I spent all morning watching posts that these kids’ relatives made. Anger is an appropriate reaction when stuff like this happen.These children are born into states that reflect their parents ideologies. They do not deserve it. Their classmates do not deserve it.

No but I'm saying it lasted 14 irl days and this one is at 4 lolWas it 36/12 though? More hours, more things to say!

contorted off to the side with my computer so I can keep up with the thread
Presumably, but we don't know. Neonate!Wobbles was left in a box in front of the shelter with a sibling that died before I adopted her. I don't actually know where Weeble came from, just that a classmate asked if I wanted another wobbly kitten and I was like no and then I had 2 cats.@supershorty Did your kittehs have perinatal FPV, or unknown?
What kind of resident are you? Internal medicine? Human med is so foreign to me but your hard work is evident! Tbh if I was a full doctor of any kind, idk how I would have time for WW, so props to all of the docs in every field that do make time for it.@samac @IvyMoose @alleycat03 @violetvett -- you guys were the ones that reacted to my message about this in the game thread so thought I would share. May not seem like much, but a lot goes into this. Probably won't leave forever just cause. But anyway, here is the fruits of my research and labor (but not sure if you cared about this or just my workload when you reacted now that I think of it...). Basically I do this over and over throughout the year for chronic conditions/presenting symptoms/etc as things come up with patients. I do the multi-source deep dive to learn more, and then make my dot phrase assessment and plan for future efficiency and comprehensiveness. I can update the dot phrase as need arises. Co-residents steal my dot phrase. Rinse and repeat. Wa la! Residency.

It's Cape San Blas in Florida! Super pretty and not as busy as soon other beaches. My family used to go there every summer but we've had several complications that have made it so we haven't gone to a beach in a few years. We're hoping to go sometime in December but who knows whether that'll happen. :/what beach?
as a born and raised atlantic coast southern Floridian, i don't support this lmao. never saw the appeal of the gulf coast 😔It's Cape San Blas in Florida!

My youngest two dogs have never gotten to go to the beach and I'd really like them to, haha.
It would probably be easier to list who ISN'T vet med related b/c it's a shorter listalso, curious, is there like a list so i don't misgender someone lmao i've been using "she/they" like nonstop with most of you. also, how many WW players are actually vet med related, because I've seen a few (like sunny) who are human med O_O
