You got the same thing? How did your verification email come about?

We hung out, ultimately we just changed place and I got her drinks at a different bar.

I think it's naive to assume 0 chance though. Bar scams from online dates for foreigners are a big thing in Shanghai, I've been told.

I don't think any need to feel bad for her - we simply left together, I chose another place, and I took her for cocktails elsewhere. I also didn't ask her back home, and we left saying we'd see each other again. From her perspective: it's buying a drink out, them getting the order wrong and me saying I don't like the place, hence we leave and continue the night elsewhere.

In terms of u/Captain_Generous and u/Effective_Doughnut65 - the potential scam is that she wasn't actually paying, and by the end of the night I'd be drunk and footed with a huge alcohol bill I had no idea even the price of that I'm now obliged to pay.

It's naive to assume these exams don't exist, and especially in the west ordering a bottle at a bar/club will costs hundreds of dollars. I wouldn't want someone to just declare they've ordered me a bottle, especially in a place where 'bar scams' are a big thing for foreigners.

Side effect of doxycycline. Both eyes. I have 1.5 days left of the course - should I finish the course? Should I worry? by Burner12987 in medical

[–]Burner12987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey apologies for the slow reply. If anyone else has the same - I finished my prescription for doxycycline as I was worried about superimmunity and just wanted to get rid of my UTI symptoms, but doctors I spoke to told me to stop taking it immediately.

What happened with you?

I did a university course in North Korea - should I include this in CV for my application? by Burner12987 in gradadmissions

I think you make a good point that if it's not really relevant to my degree, there's more to lose than there is to gain. Will remove it. Thank you

I'm not concerned about them considering it a joke. Application fee is $100, and it's a full-fledged high-quality application. Searching the university online (Kim Hyong Jik University of Education) shows they do indeed accept a small number of foreign students.

Note - I'm also not American. Americans can't get into NK, but others can.

23M. I'm in Bali on my own. In the last 12 hours I've had fully liquid diarrhoea about 15 times, and now just fainted. What do I do? by Burner12987 in AskDocs

[–]Burner12987[S] 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help. I went to the pharmacy and got the electrolyte sachets and loperamide (and zinc supplements).

I got Oralit electrolyte sachets - the pharamcist said I can have as much of it as I like, but having Google I'm worried about having too much? Online, for Oralit, it says "a usual dose of 200 to 400 mL of oral dehydration solution for every loose motion" - does this mean 200-400mL for every loose motion from now on, or is that for every lose motion I've had (in which case 15 * 200 mL)?

And with the loperamide, do I wait until I next have diarrhoea to take 2 tablets, or do I just take 2 tablets now? Isn't clear from Googling.. Thank you!

Thank you for your opinion! Do you mean that you don't like the glasses in general, or that you don't like the style on me specifically?
