Hey!I’m new to piefed. I was a part of the Reddit migration originally. Since then, I really enjoyed the conversations.

I’m a behavior therapist by day. Otherwise a bit of an introvert/gamer. I’m always up for a conversation. Unless I’m asleep, which is earlier and earlier these days.

  • If you had a small part from a song play every time you entered a room with other people, what would you want your theme to be?

    Jump

  • Guile’s theme, considering my job.

  • Cervical cancer rates higher in states with low HPV vaccination rates

    Jump

  • Yep. Nearly got it from being exposed to HPV from an asymptomatic male spouse. There weren’t any symptoms other than potentially a little skin tag. It was caught in the advanced precancerous stage or whatever. They offered me a hysterectomy at 29 or we could try cutting out what (visibly to me) looked like about large marble-sized chunk of cervix. We could try that twice. Thankfully I’ve been clear for years, have my vaccine now etc. You know, it’s wild they do that while you’re awake in an exam room to me. Anyway!! A little vaccine could have spared all that.

  • What do you not like talking about?

    Jump

  • “Why suffer twice”..

  • What do you not like talking about?

    Jump
    1. Other peoples relationships (It’s none of my business and always turns into free therapy for people who never change and never intend to)
    2. Work (People will never accept boundaries of what can and cannot be spoken of)
    3. Star Wars (we hates space opera)

  • What would you do if our civilization regressed to the Neolithic age due to resource depletion due to global collapse?

    Jump

  • Well I have no survival skills. So die.

  • Are you in this meme?

    Jump

  • I no longer plan days. I plan small moments, events, conversations, and I plan reactions for when my plans go wrong (things like incompatible and alternative behaviors). I often find myself imitating characters and people I’ve admired who have great social skills and compassion. Breaking my day up into calendar events has helped tremendously. It feels silly, but planning for plans to break was so painful at first, now it’s just something I laugh over as I rewrite my calendar for the third time in a day.

  • They confirm life after death is real and you'll see your friends and family that have passed, what do you do?

    Jump

  • I would be a lot happier.

  • The craziness of women's clothing sizes

    Jump

  • They have started to, kind of. Some brands of jeans I buy have inches on the size. Saying that, there is still variation even within brand. Jeans may be a size 4 and a 26 inch waist but I’ve also seen a size 6 as a 29. On top of that, if you know your measurements and you try these on they all fit differently which is confusing. Understandably there is some variation, but I mean by entire inches on supposed same sized pants. I don’t want to wear a 28 inch when I buy a size 4, but sometimes that’s how they feel. So trying everything on is still obligatory.

  • visiting family back in switzerland for the weekend & airspace home gets closed🤪

    Jump

  • My kids are almost fully grown and I’m in my late 30s, it is super freeing to no longer panic about periods. Especially with gestures at everything

  • Oh when it's done to you .... you don't like it

    Jump

  • Well since breast are for feeding babies and genitals are not, it isn’t really the same at all.

  • What are some things you think of when you see something related to your field outside of work hours?

    Jump

  • From a behavior therapy perspective, it is a reason I don’t go out many places. I don’t want to see.

  • What song/band did you not expect to like - but ended up loving?

    Jump

  • Alpha wolf. Silly name. Lovely music.

  • What old person thing do you do now that you wouldn't have guessed you'd do when you were younger?

    Jump

  • Bed by 9 god damn it.

  • Real Height 📏

    Jump

  • This guy's face alone is birth control

    Jump

  • No hate like Christian love is apt. It’s palpable too, if you grow up around it.

  • where are all the maga sports feminists

    Jump

  • I frequently make this error of thinking people who are highly accomplished through perseverance have a good moral compass. It is truly a bad habit. Academia has also let me down.

  • Tulsa police pepper sprayed children for walking out/protesting

    Jump

  • Apparently chemical weapons are now in the hierarchy of punishments that can be used against students for noncompliance in red states. Briefly, of course. For their safety.

  • This guy's face alone is birth control

    Jump

  • He’s so fragile he can’t stand the idea of someone not laughing at his jokes. Women have been educated forever to laugh at unfunny jokes to be pleasant. It’s no wonder he can’t understand it. This idiotic world view has most likely been reinforced strongly in the immediate environment, and having thoughts contrary to that are probably painful for him…thus, this childlike tantrum.

  • The men’s team was such a disappointment here. Not that I was hugely invested, but still. Have some respect for your fellow athletes, maybe?
