I enjoy watching it on YouTube. I’m afraid I’d laugh wrong in public so I’ve never been.

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.

So for me when I was dating it was that people were never interested in me as a person, for a variety of reasons.
So for example a lot of people my age have children and look for a mother figure. Or think mothers themselves are not for serious companionship.
Or looking for what I provide as a service (free therapy).
Or it’s a money thing.
Eventually it went from annoying to exhausting. Well, it was not adding anything to my life so why bother?

7·4 days agoI do a lot of play therapy and wear a lot of costumes. Arts and crafts necessitates shiny objects such as gemstones glitter/glue. The photo I think I’m dressed up for some silly hat day thing. I may be a crow.
The local computer repair shop was a little slice of heaven in our rural town. That sounds amazing.
Hmmm make it 17 in 2005, tales of fun lan parties.

4·5 days agoI think my first post here someone asked me to tell them about baking lasagnas, maybe because of the way I type. Is it also sort of an insult to imply someone is a bot?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?English
2·7 days agoTbh that sounds pretty darn good.
Personally, I prefer wry humor. It’s sort of difficult to encounter in the wild while staying wholesome. Nothing dark and twisted for the sake of it, but wit is somehow comforting in the right place. And clever is so engaging…

2·7 days agoSo the kind of upset stomach I’m thinking about is like stomach flu. I know you’re not supposed to have acidic or junky things when you’re so sick you can barely crawl, not sure why it’s the only thing I can tolerate when I’m sick. Hence I felt it was a pretty good answer. :p

9·8 days agoThanks for pointing that out. I lost about 30lbs and my face kinda took on some of those qualities. Especially the prominent bone thing and sunken eyes.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are the *you are the problem* comments so common on Lemmy?English
11·8 days agoWhen I see this kind of thing I lean towards communication skills, emotional immaturity, and impulsivity enabled by just sitting behind a screen rather than being face-to-face with someone.
I’ve seen some Reddit-like behavior here, but thankfully not very much, and I personally don’t engage/respond.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Zero tolerance policies in schools and mandatory minimum sentences have the same arguments and issuesEnglish
11·9 days agoWe don’t have this kind of policy in my school—this is my job basically . I work with grade level resource and the students with behavior. I have successfully remediated a lot of repeat aggression. As a team we are able to put families into contact with behavioral resources that are school/tax funded. The worst part of the position is honestly just the adults who want them gone. That’s just kicking the can… It can take weeks to bring dysfunctional behavior into under complete control. Sometimes I feel like I’m saving my kids from these awful adults, and not the other way around.
The pasta. Especially when it’s layered. Ick.
Unlikely. I have always found dating sites pretty uncomfortable.
Even in the best scenarios, there were never any people who shared my interests. Now I’m older/kinda exhausted of it. :3
If I was younger and still trying, I imagine I would want something that felt less like being in a display case, visually. Maybe also making people who didn’t share any of my values or interests unable to swipe.


Yes, all of that. Also my laugh is weird.
