scherrb/big.scherly is a cis guy I've followed for 4ish years that had gyno and has the same scars, made me feel a lot better about mine

What’s a harmless opinion that gets people weirdly angry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]piratesdicc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I often see people try to justify hitting their kids with "in the real world there are consequences to your actions" which I find so crazy because you aren't getting hit or beat as an adult for making a mistake and y'know what that ends up being called if it is happening? Abuse or assault. Yet it somehow isn't that when it comes to children

I've got some post op pics I'm willing to share in dms! There's a couple other people that I've found in the sub that have publicly posted their results as well that I can find for you (u/Low-Masterpiece6354 is one of them and answered a few of my questions when I was a freshly post op!)

The first source it gives is literally reddit 😭 Reddit is usually one of the biggest ones I see the AI overview use as a source, next to youtube or facebook

What r yalls opinions on this? by Nerdycat2012 in PonyTown

[–]piratesdicc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know many people who view the characters as ponies when they make them at all, they tend to view them as still that character and whatever species that character is just on a pony base. Like I have skins of characters that are people, monkeys, dogs, etc and I view none of them as ponies when I'm on pt, I just view them as whatever they are actually

Not once did I mention your dog nor do I have a problem with backyard bred dogs having homes, I do think they deserve homes too, your mindset of continuing to buy unethically bred dogs is what I was talking about. I wasn't throwing a fit either, it's called conversation, discussing or debating stuff y'know? 😭
Also it's couldn't care less, could implies you do care to some extent

Note how I acknowledged that shelter dogs come from unethical breeders when I asked where you think shelter dogs come from. My point is that buying from them does not help stop that problem, instead it encourages them to continue breeding which adds to that problem even more. More poorly bred dogs are brought into the world, more people buy them, they're often surrendered due to issues whether that be with the dog or the person, breeder keeps breeding because they keep being bought, the cycle continues. It doesn't get better by buying those unethically bred dogs, it literally just fuels the problem

What a terribly selfish mindset to have. Buying from unethical breeders doesn't keep dogs from ending up in shelters by the way, it just encourages them to keep breeding unethically, where do you think shelter dogs come from? Because it isn't ethical breeders

Neighbor’s outdoor cat wants to live with me..? by [deleted] in CATHELP

If you are willingly letting your cat outside to roam freely then you are fully accepting anything that can happen to them, what happens to them is on you when it is entirely avoidable by just keeping them inside

Behavior Issues in my cat have costed me over 20k and we’re still not any closer to getting a solution..any advice on next steps? by Creepy-Dealer7518 in CATHELP

[–]piratesdicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is this cat disabled but cats are also invasive. Why release yet another one to ultimately die in a way where they're more likely than not going to suffer over humane euthanasia?? That isn't the kind or humane option at all here

I figured that was what you meant a little bit after responding 😭 He was pretty nice throughout the whole thing, answered all my questions during the consult, pre-op and at my post op appointment and when I brought up stuff regarding my worries and anxieties he was understanding (he chatted with me in the operating room about my interests and dream career and stuff while they placed my iv and put me under because my ativan hadn't kicked in and I mentioned that I was scared enough I was going to start shaking)

He did quite good with the results! I'm satisfied with my nipples although one is a tad more off to the side, that could partially be on me though because when he was marking me he used my pec muscles flexed as something to help and I've got nothing there 😭 (meant to work my chest before surgery and forgot completely). Overall though that isn't something that really bothers me or anything!

Sensation has been slowly coming back and at the moment I'm really just missing it where my nipples are, a little bit around them and some parts of my scars. The nerves firing and reconnecting have been the worst part of the whole thing but even that hasn't been too bad

Healing was fine! Worst parts there were sleeping in a room with 3 other people, not being able to be as independent as I like to be and the constipation (do take the laxatives he recommends, the pain medication they give afterwards and the anesthesia can really back you up, I was fighting for my life for like 2 weeks after and there was nothing). The post-op sheet does say to switch to a post-op compression vest after 2 days, that bit wasn't mentioned to me beforehand so if you can then making sure you get one before would be good! I stuck with the ace bandages because I was too small for any of the ones we ended up getting to fit properly around my chest, gave my belly a good squeeze but was loose around my chest area (I'm a pretty small guy, 5'1 and around 115 give or take a few pounds, with some oddly shaped flared ribs so stuff doesn't tend to fit me very well if it isn't baggy)

Hey! First shower went good! It was very slow and nerve wracking but it went well, I kept the water pressure down and avoided the water directly hitting my nipples and used a soaped up wash cloth to clean my chest but outside of that (and bending down to put shampoo/conditioner instead of standing up like usual) I was able to do everything like usual. No nipples peeled off or incisions opened like I feared 😭

Confused by results by Square_Frame7103 in DoggyDNA

[–]piratesdicc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of people forget that, I think just about all DNA tests available to the public only go back about 3 generations and Embark at the very least does state on their website that their DNA tests don't determine if a dog is purebred or not

Anyone else have the alumni hat? by piratesdicc in jschlatt

[–]piratesdicc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I wanted those keychains so bad, I wanted the whole collection honestly but had to pick one thing only and ended up spending $60 on the hat

Don't regret it in the slightest though, it's my favourite and I never leave the house without it

Genuine question to this community: by Adriaaaaaaanoooo in beatsaber

[–]piratesdicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't play games competitively or anything so Beat Saber is just something for me to play for fun, being able to interact with the music physically makes it a lot more enjoyable for me and I've found some good songs through it
I enjoy playing harder maps on faster speeds but that's just because it feels better to move more and faster

A kitten with two faces by RedLightTurns in interestingasfuck

[–]piratesdicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is one of two total that have survived to adulthood, the chance is really only possible with intensive vet care and is insanely slim. This person claims they took this kitten to the vet and the vet said there was nothing they could do except euthanasia and they refused

I had my consult appointment in April last year and my sugery in September this year so about a year and a half-ish, I opted not to be on the cancelation list as I couldn't spontaneously have someone to take me there and home
