I had always wondered how Loss became such a meme. The comic itself was rather uninspired and lame, and it was odd to me when the internet made it take off…although the memes about it tend to be mildly entertaining. Knowing the context behind it helps a lot.
Unfortunate, but not too surprising I guess, especially because it’s not popular anymore.
Pandora used to have the best radio feature, but it just didn’t have a way to go back and play a song you liked. So I switched to Spotify and I guess most others did as well.
Ah yeah fair. I try to use Spotify’s algorithms to my advantage to find new stuff I like, but I only seem to resonate with a new song it suggests every now and then.
Years back before Spotify I used to use Pandora. Idk if they are still around but their radio feature always seemed better than Spotify to me. It’s been years though.
Top artist: Cautious Clay (pop/r&b) (top 0.05% of listeners)
Top song: That’s Hilarious by Charlie Puth (pop)
To be honest, I don’t think my top song is really standout compared to the others in my top. But I had a rough day and played that song on repeat like a zillion times for some reason.
Some bangers from my top five are:
#2: How I Want Ya - Dawin Remix by Hudson Thames (pop/electronic)
And #5: Want You in My Room by Carly Rae Jepsen (pop)
What were your other top genres? Why do you think you’ve transitioned away from EDM? I feel like I’ve been slowly listening to EDM more over the years (and pop is always my staple), but this year R&B managed to sneak its way into my top five.
Bit of a pet peeve for me that the recap slide at the end doesn’t give the artist for the names of the songs. There are many songs out there with the same title.
I’ve been listening a lot of a song called “Box of Bones” recently for example, but mine isn’t from a pop punk band.
I remember when I first got a full time job. I had finished school at that point. Every day I was just so fucking exhausted and wondered how the hell adults do this every day until they die. And then you have some people who do a zillion things after work and I’m just like how the fuck??
I still like working a milion times better than school because…1. I have the type of job that I cannot bring home with me. I don’t have to constantly worry about homework and can really just fully relax at the end of the day. I never could when I was in school. 2. I get to earn my own money and buy whatever the hell I want (so long as I can afford it).
I dunno. Even Amazon doesn’t seem to have good Black Friday sales anymore. The sale prices are often a lie on their website nowadays when they used to not be. It will say the price is a Black Friday sale price, but really it’s always that price.
Even though sales aren’t as good anymore, at least brick and mortar stores seemed to have stopped the Purge-like frenzy of real life battle royales for products on Black Friday. Everything is much less insane because the deals aren’t as good and the time frame for the deals is longer.
I work in the surgical pathology department in a hospital.
Anything you get removed from surgery comes to me to be examined. Then I describe what I have and what sort of pathology I can see with the naked eye. I select and cut out pieces of tissue that are important to the case. The tissue undergoes further processing and eventually reaches the desk of a pathologist (a type of physician) who examines the tissue microscopically, forms a diagnosis, and ultimately signs out the case.
My job can assist with several things depending on the case…
To help the clinician confirm or determine what type of lesion or disease process the patient has
To document and confirm that a surgery was necessary
To stage cancer cases
To determine whether or not a cancer or lesion has been completely removed from the patient and there is none left inside their body
To make sure the patient does not have an unsuspected cancer
I see everything from tiny boring specks of tissue they biopsy during a colonoscopy to large cancer resection cases.
The other day, I got an almost entirely necrotic above the knee amputation with maggots. A few days before that I got a 9 lb spleen. It’s fun in the lab.
In the US, my job generally requires a very specialized 2 year master’s degree (on top of a bachelor’s degree in any subject). In other countries, the role of my job can be fulfilled by different types of people depending on the country and education will be different.
I found out about the job on Google lol. I was looking for something hands on in healthcare or anatomy related, but I didn’t like patient contact. I would probably select this career again if I had a second go around. It pays pretty well and is interesting. But grad school in the US is very expensive.
