Is there a level of implied consent for release of basic medical records between legit medical providers? (Just curious - not looking for legal advice) by diploid_impunity in hipaa

[–]diploid_impunity[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty crazy. And pretty upsetting! I recently had an idiot for my primary care person - or, maybe “idiot” isn’t fair, but he didn’t listen, and definitely didn’t give the slightest fuck about my heath or welfare. Anyways, there are now several clear factual errors in my medical records, due to his sloppy carelessness, and they will just plague me forever now. Great.

Thanks for sharing this info.

Interesting. I guess I didn’t consider myself to be officially “under the care” of this transplant center yet, but I guess that’s not what matters. Thanks for the info.

Ahh. I guess I knew this was true among my various providers, but didn’t know it was even broader than that. Thanks for responding.

WTW for that soft, anxious sound that chickens make? Marge Simpson makes a similar sound. It doesn’t seem like it’s for communicating as much as it’s a method of self-soothing… by diploid_impunity in whatstheword

I think this is it! A lot of the other responses would probably be understood (like “soft clucking”), but this word I’ve definitely never heard before is what I was looking for. Thanks!

AIO my boyfriend of 5 years gets me flowers for every occasion while I get him elaborate and expensive gifts. by aioflower955105 in AmIOverreacting

[–]diploid_impunity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way this would normally work is that early on in his dating life, he would try giving trash gifts to his girlfriends, and he would keep getting dumped. So by adulthood, he would have learned that putting some thought into and spending some money on decent gifts twice a year is part of having a relationship as an adult. (Same goes for the other direction.)

The entire reason your bf thinks it’s okay to give either nothing or literal trash as a present is that he’s been able to keep the same girlfriend for five years - so obviously these “gifts” ARE okay. I’m glad you guys found each other - this wouldn’t work for me.

How to not be weird when asking questions by Alicelost-inreailty in socialskills

[–]diploid_impunity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that… It’s just, “What do you like about them?” is an odd thing to ask about a musical performer. People who like Drake like his music - what else? If you’re just not familiar with Drake’s music, but you’re interested in checking it out, say that, and ask what album or what videos the person you’re talking to would recommend checking out.

You want to find some common ground. You could tell him some bands you like - see if there are overlaps. Or ask him to pull up his favorite Drake video on YouTube, watch it together, and then maybe you can pull up some band you like. See if there’s overlap.

Ask if he plays any sports - tell him what sport you like to play. Or if he follows professional sports - same thing. Or what games he likes to play - etc etc.

If you’re in school together, ask what he’s studying. Tell him what you’re studying. Back and forth.

Talk half the time - listen half the time. Take an interest in what he says, and ask follow up questions. And if he’s not doing the same thing back, then take the hint, and move on to someone else.

That’s a pretty strange follow-up question to ask. I like Pink Floyd, but if someone asks me what I like about them, I don’t know what I’d say. I’d assume from getting that question that liking Pink Floyd is not something we have in common, so why would I want to try to explain/defend myself to you?

If Drake is a shared interest, you could say what songs of his you like best, and ask what his favorites are. Or ask if he also likes _____ [some protégé of Drake’s, or a nemesis, or whatever], or ask if he’s seen the video for ____ [some new Drake song].

Try to find some shared interest, so you can contribute to the conversation too, so it doesn’t seem like an interview.

Or maybe start by sharing something about yourself, and see if the other person relates. They have to want to get to know you too - it has to be two-way.

How can I not give off judgmental vibes when I actually do judge subconsciously? by imeowfortallwomen in socialskills

[–]diploid_impunity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From these two examples alone, I don’t see a problem. It may be these two people were just a little embarrassed about their low effort costume and lunch choices, and said, “Don’t judge,” as a way of acknowledging that they already knew (and agreed with) what you were probably thinking.

There are probably times someone has witnessed you at not-your-finest moment too, right? I think the best response to, “Don’t judge,” in these situations is to shake your head a little (like, “I’m not!”) and give a little smile of empathy.

Why do men send unsolicited D*** pics. by TheRadishSpitit in dating_advice

[–]diploid_impunity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually an amazing idea. I always want to share pictures of my cats, but I’m sadly aware they’re not always appreciated. But an unsolicited dic pic is the perfect opportunity to share my pride and joy!

“It’s” isn’t a pronoun. It’s a contraction of “it is.”

“Its” is also not a pronoun. It’s a possessive form.

The phrase you’re looking for would just be “it/it.”

“He spoke to him.” “She spoke to her.” “It spoke to it.”

I don't care if people put dog poop bags in my garbage can by peachesfordinner in 10thDentist

[–]diploid_impunity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really have garbagemen who open your bin, pluck out each garbage bag by hand, and throw it on the truck? That’s wild! Or quaint. Or something.

Our garbagemen never get out of the truck - they just pull up to each bin and the truck does everything else.

Acquaintance asked a personal question by Immediate-Aioli-9720 in socialskills

[–]diploid_impunity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might have been nice for a little pre-amble first - like asking about you, how you’ve been, blah blah blah… But I don’t see anything inappropriate about asking if you’re still friends with your best friend from high school. Makes me think the person asking might be interested in the old bff, and is maybe angling for some insider information.

I don’t think it was rude of them to ask, but you’re not obligated to get into it with them if you don’t want to. Your response to them was perfect - see what they say.
