Yep.
I've had the same dentist for the last 15 years and she's retiring soon.
I'm worried about going to a dentist with commercial advertisements.
I see I thought it may have been something legislative so was taken aback
yeah this specialist thing extends beyond medicine
into science, into many fields, honestly just in general as well even in seemingly unrelated stuff
compartmentalization, cocooning
in the US, some people can justify it
Im glad im figuring this shit out at 19 rather than later in life.
like I know of one surgeon who does like 300 laparascopic (cameras + minimal access) kidney removals
when you have a workload like that, it's fine if it's pretty much all you do
but you have someone sitting in the UK instead, he won't be doing nearly as much
but will nevertheless be stuck in that narrow area due to the way the system is
yeah I think you're doing pretty good for 19
Like ive had full on discussions with my parents and irs so different
It's partially and indirectly legislative in the US. pan-agency regulations on the field heavily favor the transition to specialist medicine and gigantic health conglomerates over the traditional "town doctor" kind of model. The same is true with law and many other fields as you point out. The impetus has been there for decades - the results are just becoming really clear
what have your discussions been about, Isaac
Mostly the future of america and the riots.
I knew if I ever burned a flag of any kind my parents would whip me up and down the street.
But we also talk about how the majority of the time that the most violent ones are the ones with least to argue with.
As well as ways to keep safe.
An armed angry dumbass is a scary angry dumbass.
Generally.
"specialization is for ants" - heinlein
thats true
and ants have 3 genders so everyones happy
Thank you guys for keeping me company before i have to lesve for work
giving people freedom
expectations: they will use it to become monks with artistic gitfs
reality: they will use it to do beer and drugs
despite Zizek's many flaws
he has a good point when he talks about real vs. fake freedom
Zizek's priority is being socially acceptable
I don't mean to bump Zizek. I'm just saying that "freedom" can mean different things and sometimes the freedom we get isn't really the freedom we want
It's 102° here. Hope yall stay hydrated
PEACE MAKES US COMPLACENT
WWIII WHEN????
Do you guys think 27 is too old to join the military...
