- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

Look, I'm a 4th year med student in my 30's. I know what I'm about. My undergraduate degree is in History and I worked in IT and sysadmin for a couple years before I went back to school to go into medicine.
Oh i didn't mean it in a negative way, quite the contrary
I didn't take it as a negative! Just expressing that you're right on the mark about my username being quite relevant.
Well I guess we've got the gremlin part right too 😂
When explaining why I need to go into Emergency Medicine as a specialty I tell people that I'm a naturally nocturnal basement-dwelling gremlin with weapons-grade ADHD.
It usually gets a laugh.
(For context, most ERs are in the hospital basement)
