If you are bad with patients and good with technical shit, go into a speciality where you don't interface with patients. Become a diagnostic radiologist. You'll hardly see patients directly. Or become a pathologist. You'll never see a (live) patient.

Sorta related, but I was trying to remember a song the other day where a guy is proposing to a woman. I eventually realized it was "On My Way" (2012) by Passion Pit. So I decided to go to wikipedia to see if it was based on real events, and it was. But then the story goes wonky.

Michael Angelakos wrote the song to propose to his then girlfriend Kristy Mucci. But while engaged to Mucci, he started also dating Madeleine Dubus. He became a drunk and drug addict and was abusive towards Mucci and Dubus. He still married Mucci in 2013, but they announced they were divorcing in 2015. Later that year, Angelakos announced he was gay. In 2018, he came out as bisexual.

In 2025, he said he took too many shrooms and wrote a long email to Dubus that prompted a wellness check on him. Months later, he married Dubus and she became his manager. That same year, he wrote a series of essays, much of which were about his inability to clean up after himself at home and the problems that causes. He also described "snorting a billion grams of ketamine."

Anyway, it kinda takes the song down a notch for me.

>According to one person who witnessed an argument between Musk and a former girlfriend upon leaving a club one evening, Musk aggressively railed against her, asking why she had hair on her face (referring to the slight peach fuzz that everyone has, visible under the bright light of the club’s awning). “Because I’m a mammal,” the girlfriend replied, which only pissed Musk off even more.

"Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.” ― Douglas Adams, "The Salmon of Doubt"

What people say they want and what they actually want are not always the same thing, and often they don't even realize it themselves.

Anyone driving my same make and model and paint color is my homie. Unless they do something stupid, in which case I'm ashamed to be associated with them.

Dude missed the easy comeback: "No, I meant generally."

Edit: Just to clarify: He started it, and they both sound rude. I was just making a joke.

Allow me to translate: "We don't want people who won't eat our shit with a smile."

Never a dull day in the wang biz

I was staying at hostel in Switzerland. I clogged the toilet. I went to the front desk for help. The desk person followed me to the bathroom, took a look, said "It's too big," chuckled, and then just went back to the desk. I ended up doodie knifing it with a wire hanger.

It's not about right vs left. It's about totalitarianism vs pluralism.

Let's be honest, if there is a global apocalypse and the only people left are the billionaires in their bunkers, how long are they really going to hang around doing their own laundry, eating canned food, and watching reruns?
