Null making fun of a vtuber for pronouncing her own culture's words correctly is funny when Italian-descent Null goes out of his way to pronounce German words every time.
A few examples of words no American has ever pronounced correctly.

The grand wise jew: Mel Brooks, is developing a sequel to spaceballs
The unfortunate news is that the movie is co-written, co-produced, and will cast fat gay "actor": Josh Gad (who will likely replace the late great John Candy as barf's son)
View attachment 8872941
the other unfortunate news is that it won't be called SpaceBalls 2: The Search For More Money, it will be called Spaceballs: The New One.
Edit: the only good news is that rick moranis will be returning as lord dark helmet
I found another teaser for SpaceBalls: The New One, this time being of the cast and director: josh greenbaum (god there's a lot of Josh's working on this movie, you'd think dear sneeder would also somehow be involved)


now josh greenbaum from looking on wikipedia seems to be fairly new at directing: because other than some tv directing for bottom of the bin tv shows like fresh off the boat (a show about Asians living in america) and some documentaries the only other comedic movie he's directed was something called, Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar: which from the poster looks like dog shit and probably is because it has Kristen Wiig: who was in the 2016 ghostbusters movie, the looney tunes show, despicable me's 2, 3, & 4, and 2010s Saturday night live

I don't have high hopes for SpaceBalls: the new one.
 
He's NUTS, he's MORAL LESS!
 
I would like to see the loathsome Hambly divorce-raped and copyright struck, his social media presence whittled down to a single channel where he and his two flag hags gradually auction off his possessions in a bid to keep him solvent, but in the douchiest manner imaginable. You can't purchase one of his Rolex watches outright, but you can buy a timeshare in a Rolex.
 
"This is Elijah Schaffer, I don't really know anything about him. Here are the drugs he takes. I don't know what these are. That's it for the Elijah Schaffer segment."

This is the impeccable content I watch MATI for. 😩
 
Hey, at least you can easily identify them. My biggest problem with any android related media is how they often make them completely indistinguishable from humans. It makes no sense to me how in Blade Runner a special test is needed to determine who's an android.
Yeah sorry to disappoint but this game is guilty of that trope too. All they need to do is change their clothes and pop off an LED at their temple and they’re human.

Thoughts on the Kiwi Farms x Billy Mitchell hot sauce collab:
Salsa verde ain’t so bad. I had a huge yield of tomatoes that wouldn’t ripen last summer and had no idea wtf I was going to do with all of them. I found a recipe for green tomato salsa, and it ended up tasting more or less like store bought salsa but better. I finished the last of it some weeks ago and now I kinda miss it :(

Recipe:
-Green tomatoes
-jalapeños
-onion and garlic
-lime juice
-salt, pepper, oregano and cumin
-some honey to balance out the acidity
-Recipe also asked for cilantro but I wanted it to be edible so I didn’t add any

To make it on brand, throw some kiwi in there. It will probably work well with the rest of the ingredients since it refreshing, sweet and sour. Boil, use a blender to combine, strain and you got yourself some yummy green kiwi hot sauce 🔥
 
Is it really true that Quartering, the fat sleezy degenerate hypocrite, earn 3 million dollars from Rumble? Thats unreal. I cannot think of someone who deserve it less That man has zero redeeming qualities.
 
At this stage the problem with medical education isn't residency positions. It's the entire process of applying to medical education in the first place.

Medical education in America is kind of weird. Some countries go direct from high school with a 6 year program. We do not do this. We do 4 years (there are schools trying to do accelerated programs but IMO they kind of suck for the student) after a bachelors. Of course, that's assuming that you can get in directly after undergrad. The average age of medical students has been getting pushed up and over half end up doing a gap year which is basically fucking worthless in terms of medical training/knowledge base.

So lets say you are a high school student interested in being a physician in America. If you have a pretty great academic history and extracurriculars you can apply for a combined program. You do your 4 year undergrad at a particular school and then you get a spot in the associated medical program. Of course, usually this is really really hard to get and you are still obligated to perform decently in undergrad anyways (although usually not as well as someone applying to the med school outside of this program). Overall, they are pretty decent but come with a couple of clear downsides. Namely, someone getting into these programs based on merit would likely be able to do better in the normal application cycle and it can be used to backdoor less competitive applicants. Also consider the actual application process. You are judging suitability based on bullshit high school classes and letters of recommendation from people who almost assuredly don't know shit about being a doctor.

If you don't do the combined program you just go to a 4 year undergrad. Then you have to basically start from scratch in your application. There is no specific degree required to apply to med school but you do have to meet prereqs. Quality of these classes vary immensely by school and grading policy. This is somewhat rectified by standardized testing as most schools (some exceptions exist, often some of the combined programs will skip this step) require the MCAT. The test is graded from 472-528 and features 4 sections - Chemistry + Physics, Biology, Reading skills/IQ test, and Psychology and Sociology. You can take the test at anytime and can even retake the test up to a total of 7 attempts in your lifetime. Most people looking to go to med school straight out will be taking it their junior year.

So you got the grades and the score, now it's time to apply. Oh wait, you need letters of recommendations. Some times you are on your own and just have to ask your college professors to send their letter into the application portal, other times the "nicer" undergrads will have a prehealth committee that will take responsibility for final submission and they will even have an """optional""" (if you don't have this you aren't getting in anywhere good) committee letter where a group of faculty will write a letter on your behalf and vote on how strongly to recommend you to medical schools (they may even suggest you shouldn't go to medical school). Unsuprisingly this process is ripe for abuse because some college faculty get really fucking weird. Committee members usually aren't physicians and some may 0 relevant education whatsoever. Why does an economics professor get a say in how good of an applicant a person is for medical school? I don't fucking know, your undergrad (which might not even have a medical school) decided this for you. Typically it is """"optional""" to sign away your right to view this letter, but again the program you apply to will know that you viewed it and look at it negatively.

So after all that you can finally apply. You first have to choose what programs you will be applying to - MD or DO or both. MD is the classical program you think of with medical school. DO is somewhat different. DO or Osteopathic Medicine programs is a truly American invention created by an MD around the civil war era who also hung out with the guy that made whatever the fuck chiropractors study. Would likely be equivalent to chiropractor bullshit today if not for the Flexner report in 1910 which started to standardize medical school curriculums and shut down those that failed to adapt (interestingly this is why people who get degrees in osteopathy in foreign countries cannot apply to a US medical residency - it is not recognized as a medical degree unless it comes from the US). However, it does mean the two are governed by different accrediting bodies which lead to slightly different standards for what it takes to open a school. DO schools are easier to open because they don't require a home hospital (although many do have them). Unsurprisingly they are also easier to get into, the avg MCAT for an MD school is ~512 (80th percentile) and for DO schools it's ~504 (60th percentile. Applicants to DO schools are typically either less competitive or they are MD competitive and had a rough application cycle but didn't want to do a gap year and reapply.

In practical terms the material is effectively the same regardless of where you go. DO programs could be looked at as the standard medical school curriculum plus some bullshit (Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine) that is at its best PT. It's thought that less than a quarter of graduates use it and that number is expected to shrink. The real difference is in terms of opportunities. There's less research available at DO schools and because they don't have a home program you will have a range in quality for 3rd and 4th year rotations. Some are equivalent to MDs and you end up rotating next to them, others are just bullshit bullshit bullshit. There is also some difference in terms of licensing. MDs are required to take the USMLEs. DOs are required to take the COMLEX exams. In general COMLEX is easier to pass and includes questions on that bullshit unique to DO schools. A significant number of DOs also end up taking the USMLEs to be more competitive in applying for a residency program. Previously residency programs were under different regulations (although many DOs still went to ACGME/MD residencies) until they merged in 2020 under the ACGME. Overall match rate (94%) is pretty similar between MDs and DOs, but DOs tend to match at worse residency programs. Culturally they also tend to be less forgiving then MD schools and will be more likely to kick you out for behavioral or academic difficulties.

So applications are in, next step is the interview. Usually this will be with a physician associated with the school. Largely benign, although some schools think it's appropriate to let foreign trained physicians who never actually went through this process interview people. But I digress, the far larger issue is that some schools have decided to add some additional bullshit and allow community members (it's who you think) who likely have a high school education to interview candidates to see if they should be allowed to study medicine.

Decisions come out on a rolling basis but the school can keep you on the waitlist for months. Essentially by June/July you are either in or you aren't. If you don't get in you might pivot for a year and do a gap year job before applying again. I reiterate, all gap year jobs are fucking worthless. More competitive students might throw in additional applications to DO schools. Some might go to a Caribbean school who will take anyone who can breathe. These are MD programs in the Caribbean with another accrediting body. They tend to function similarly to DO schools, but have less opportunities and are even more likely to kick you out as some schools lose 30-40% of their class prior to graduation. They are also more expensive and perform worse in the match (70%, for added context true non US citizens have a match rate of 56%) for residency and sometimes graduates are never able to match.

If you get in you get to spend about 100k a year for the next couple years before prepping for residency applications which are still bullshit but honestly less so than getting in. Then it's 70-90k per year at a 40-80 hr/week job until you hit attending status. Some fields require fellowship which is similar to residency but slightly better paid and you come out a specialist who usually have higher earning potential but sometimes they don't.

In summary, it's a shitty process ripe for abuse at all stages and has continually allowed for people outside the profession to influence its future. It has started to diminish the importance of foundational knowledge and instead rewards questionable personalities.
