Welcome! It definitely is quieter in ways here, but I find that actually engaging in conversation is better. There’s more real people here.

But this place also has the downfalls that early Reddit and 4chan had. Still better than current Reddit by miles!

You’ve never been in a restaurant that’s 21+?

Not only die, they love watching them be tortured and raped as well.

They could already have existing partners and wouldn’t be exclusive, but have an agreement to inform if there are new partners being added.

Also being exclusive is a more serious type of relationship than just friends with benefits imo.

How would they be exclusive if additional sex partners are allowed? It’s not an asking for permission scenario, it’s just keeping your partners informed of who is involved.

I’ve mostly done so for health reasons.

I think you’re underestimating how many parents may be here lol

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Parenting in a nutshell.

Hey thanks for the info! This was really helpful

It’s easier to use than Lemmy. Lemmy was the first I heard about in this whole set up and the first I tried out. Not too hard to pick up on, but I understand why the average Redditor may feel it’s more difficult to get in to.

I need to poke around Piefed more apparently.

Nature walks this weekend with my kid! The rain is going to break and we’re gonna look at all the new spring blooms coming up :)

The full anatomy of the clitoris wasn’t even mapped out until 2005. It wasn’t believed to even exist until the late 90s.

I’m really supportive of your point that we shouldn’t discourage people from seeking medical help. I’m all about preventative medicine and modern advances. But I think you’re a little biased from the place where you work. I’m glad you work with people who seem to care about their patients. I don’t think it’s as universal as you want to claim.

The US can pound sand. They lifted sanctions on Russian oil for India. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

I’m just tired of hearing that doctors care and then never experiencing that in person. At some point there’s a disconnect between what doctors believe they’re providing and what patients are experiencing.

For you. Some women it’s much worse.

Pain management should be offered depending on the patient’s individual needs and not because of some outdated idea that we feel less pain there.

My personal experience has largely been that doctors don’t listen to me, so I’m sorry, but your one point of view here doesn’t cancel out my entire lifetime of being disbelieved.

I have an autoimmune condition that took 4 years to diagnose. I was constantly told I was being promiscuous and treated for diseases that i tested negative for over and over again. And this was knowing I had a history of autoimmune issues from my childhood.

I have an IUD replacement coming up next week. I was told no pain management would be offered, but I could take some ibuprofen before I come in.

I’ve been told to my face that my gallstone pain wasn’t real as I was throwing up into the doctors office trash can. Told to call ambulance if I wanted pain medication.

When I gave birth, they refused to allow me to wait for labor to set in, I was forced to go on pitocin. I labored for 3 days before having an emergency c-section. And then the nurses were late with pain meds for the two days I was still in the hospital. Oh and there’s no nurseries anymore, so my newborn was in my room the entire time and I had no help and a new surgical incision across my abdomen.

So no, I don’t believe that most doctors care about their patients.

Is Alexandrite for piefed? I’ve been enjoying voyager, but am curious about exploring piefed more.

@YarrMatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com explained it much better than I did in my admittedly flippant statement.

It’s more like doctors don’t believe women can feel the cervix very well even though we very, very much can.

Female doctors, too.

It’s a big ole boys club over here and it’s clear where they want to draw lines.

Reddit is much easier to use and has such a larger user base that one can tailor their experience to align much closer to their own interests. There’s not quite enough people on piefed and Lemmy to have that same experience.

There were starter packs when I made an account on Lemmy.today
