  • Texas has TMDSAS, which makes anyone who is a resident of Texas automatically a sour grape for the national AMCAS system. Essentially, if you are from Texas, your chances of getting in out of state is pretty much nil unless you are the top 99%.

    Leaving Texas is not a small feat. And I already knew Texas was falling into a deeper rabbit hole of conservatism, but you talk as if it’s so easy for myself or my colleagues to leave.

    Believe me, if it were that simple, many of us would have done it. Many out of state schools won’t even look at Texas applicants because of the TMDSAS protectionist policies. It feels like you are generalizing your anecdotal experience to the broader whole, and that’s just not realistic.










  • Saw a TikTok on the Saturn ad that posed how inefficient car transport is when scaled with large populations. Basically, if you remove the body of the car and have people walk on those same roads, they are just taking up so much space. Traffic is horrible even though there is plenty of space between people. The comments section lacks media literacy in the most basic sense. Either they were willfully ignorant, or just outright stupid.

    All the comments were like “doesn’t this prove cars are the most efficient form of transport?”

    Americans truly need to visit Tokyo, or really any city outside the US that HAS ACTUAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE.

    I live in Houston, the worst possible car centric nightmare and I get nearly killed every other day. It’s gotten to the point where you don’t even flinch when someone almost rams you in a head on because these near misses happen all the time.

    I am so fucking sick of cars.
