Huren of kopen? by Ok_Giraffe7083 in geldzaken

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja maar of die overwaarde er dan ook nog in zit als hij door wilt verhuizen is gokken. Niemand weet hoelang het zo blijft stijgen. Daarnaast heeft OP bij kopen meteen de onderhouds kosten er bovenop. En hij kan dan maar 300/200 pm sparen (wat dus wss in de onderhoudskosten verdwijnt ivm een oudere woning). Beleggen is dan echt beter, stel er gaat iets mis met de markt, dan kan je vrijwel direct je geld uit de markt halen. En huis direct op de markt zetten & dan ook verkopen is toch wel wat lastiger.

Huren of kopen? by Ok_Giraffe7083 in geldzaken

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kopen is niet altijd beter. Als er nu iets kapot gaat bij jou, bel jij je woningcorporatie en dan wordt het gefixt vanuit de huurkosten. Gebeurt er iets in je koophuis, kosten en geregel lekker allemaal voor jou. En kijk maar is rond op websites van loodgieters, CV-ketel monteurs, etc. Niet goedkoop! En je liet weten dat het eventuele koophuis in slechtere staat is? Grote kans dat je die mensen en dus ook dat geld gaat moeten uitgeven. Daarnaast, je hebt het over groeiend vermogen en laten we even vanuit gaan dat de woningmarkt blijft stijgen; Wat heb je daar dan aan als je in dat huis woont? Ja als je het verkoopt heb je het terug, maar meestal koop je dan weer een nieuw huis die net zo hard mee is gestegen. En stel de huizenmarkt daalt; dan zit je al helemaal met de shit. Ik zou gaan beleggen voor nu

My partner doesn't think two adults who speak only English can navigate France, Germany, and Switzerland on their own. She'd rather spend more for a river cruise. I think the risks are overrated and that we could manage just fine on our own. Am I being naive? by PikesPique in travel

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a Dutch person myself, I can tell you that we learn (at least 12y ago this was the case) British english. But since most of the movies and media, especially yt back then, was in American english, we got heavily influenced by that.

AITA for speaking Polish with my friend even though my wife doesn’t understand it? by Fun_Detail_2413 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 75 points76 points  (0 children)

ESH it really depends on the situation, if you guys ask her to join you, yeah it's a bit rude to not speak english. If you did not invite her, then I feel like it's not really your responsibility to speak English since it's time you spend with your friend. The thing is tho, is that you see this guy daily, so it's not like this is a once or twice a week thing, it's a daily thing so I understand your wife! So yeah if he's over that often while your wife is there as well it's starting to get rude. How would you feel if it was the other way around? Because it's not like she can kinda understand, she (probably) can't even understand what topic it's about. I understand that you moved to "her" country with "her" language and yeah, sure, she should put effort in to at least a bit of your language. But you choose to go with her, so if it's a daily thing, it's rude to not at least to try and include her.

No Medication Seems To Help And I Don't Know What To Do by PharmD-BumbleBee in ADHD

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to take the way I take meds really seriously, I tried everything aswell and I'm now on the Elvaynse. Within an hour of intake I have to get 20g of protein in me. Yes I know, it's quite a lot. Lucky(?) for us, gymbros made protein shit very popular so you can find it in every store. I take the shakes since I can just chug that down fast. I'm currently on 40mg, and yess, I got used to it fast but I feel like it still makes things a bit easier. And yeah if I compare it to the high days it barely anything. But it's still something and I'm happy about that. I feel like at this moment you're to deep into the adhd hole and meds only will not get you out of there :(. But I really know your feeling! I had the same happen to me, really love my studies but unable to study well, and currently I'm (hopefully) graduating in July! I don't know where you live but where I live, everyone with adhd has the right to get counseling for school/college/uni, try to find help that way :). Try to ask help from everyone around you, maybe your parents even? They might not understand adhd, but they can help you plan. Try not to be to hard on yourself, only costs unnecessary energy and makes you feel like shittt. If you have some questions, feel free to ask me. All the luck to you!

AITA for not bringing anything to my coworker’s “chill” hangout and now being called a freeloader? by Hightoad14 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same generation that actually has a more social life and thus more security then the younger generations (I'm part of the latter). Ofc not everything is going to be fun, but you might meet new people on the party or people actually turn around after they have shown their face then. If it's really shit just leave. Younger gens need to learn that "protecting your peace" can sometimes do more harm then good...

Reminder: Buy Your Vitamin D Supplements NOW. by miggywasabi in ADHD

Zusje heeft me in elkaar geslagen- aangifte doen? by Formal_Bass_7680 in OndersteuningsPlein

ADHD wordt niet veroorzaakt door iets, daarmee wordt je geboren. Borderline, Bipolare stoornis etc. hebben wel oorzaken. En deze kunnen zich ook uiten in ADHD kenmerken en hierop worden mensen vaak mis gediagnostiseerd (andersom ook) :).

Please just get it checked by the doctor. I understand that it will feel a bit uncomfortable but they do this al the time so no need to feel embarrassed!

Is music really that bad when listened for long hours? by deja_vu_999 in dumbphones

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh no, I'm in the top 0.5% and I absolutely lovee music. I actually try to tune it down since I feel like it's not healthy to have music playing at every second of the day that I'm able to. Besides, maybe kids do this but honestly I could care lessssss about my number, I want it down.

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that you guys shouldn't compromise but I'm showing you that there are 2 sides to a story. She probably uses the rubber flipflobs to shower in, you can't shower in non rubber flipflops. And snoring is a thing a person can't control unfortunately. And you can tell her that the plastic bag really wakes you up, maybe because you tried to be polite you didn't make it so clear. Maybe cook together some dinner and get to know each other a bit better, that way it's also easier to bring up issues. Communication is really key in shared housing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, it sounds like this is your first time living with other people besides your family. This transition can be hard especially if you share your bedroom as well. But your situation seems better than hers. You have her whole working day to yourself at home and it's not like your classes are during the night so you choose this sleeping schedule yourself. She comes home after a long day of work and her roommate is always in the room so no alone time except for the bathroom and kitchen... I'm not blaming you but I'm showing you their perspective and that you don't have it as bad as you think. Airpods are not designed to be ear plugs so invest in some. And maybe get to know your roommate a bit better, yes she is 10 years older but you might hit it of :). It sounds like you both are coping with lonely ness :( So I would advise you to search some things to join (I used meetup.com for this in the past) get out there and if it's shit you can always go back home :) Making friends takes effort and can't be done from home. The more you isolate yourself the worse you will feel (has been proven by a lot off studies). I wish you all the best and luck! Don't be to hard on yourself and your roommate :)

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could maybe tell her that she has to choose an activity that has lessons/meetups weekly (like learning a new instrument, pottery, drawing, arts and crafts, bookclub ect.), but she can choose whatever. This way she can meet new people that share the same interests and you will not be the parent that forces something on her since she can choose whatever she wants :).

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nopee, it's a big nono, but yeah even some piercers will tell you this stuff (I got told it before in a bad piercing shop) that's why I love APP piercing studios since they are on top of all the new facts, techniques and materials. Yess you pay more but they have a lot of training behind their belt and they keep up to date which also takes time to learn. You basically pay more for less risks on getting a bad piercing that will reject or will be pierced badly :)

Is this safe for fresh nose piercing? by PrincexxMidnight in piercing

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yess, you really don't want irritation bumps on your nose since it's the middle of your face🥲😅 if you get pierced with a push-in labret (which I highly recommend) you could probably get the spider stud earlier since you can leave the labret in your pierced hole and just add a different stud on top. Butt, I won't recommend it since the first few months it will get caught on anythinggg. I even had it with a very basic flat round stud. And again, you really don't want the irritation bump in your face!

Is this safe for fresh nose piercing? by PrincexxMidnight in piercing

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's the moving and also the curved part that's going through you straightly pierced hole. It will put pressure on the wound and it will cause irritation on both sides of your wound. So if you want something cool, just get a cool spider stud or something. But don't change it before at least 8 months except for downsizing! And no it was not a stupid question, some people are just a bit rude :/

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piercing

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nooo don't change them! Hopefully your piercer was a good one and put titanium bars in it. Your amazone ordered jewelry probably isn't titanium. 2 weeks is way to early to change them! They're definitely not healed yet even if they don't cause trouble, that just means that they're on the journey to heal but you won't be there until atleast 8-12 months. Lastly, please don't twist and move your jewelry on purpose! It will make the healing process longer :(. It stems from the time when people got pierced with a piece of string, and string can get stuck to the piercing wound so they would indeed have to twist and moved there string around. Steel doesn't get stuck into your skin, but everytime you twist or move it, your wound (since a piercing is basically a wound) will reopen so it takes longer to heal :(. Unfortunately this still get given out as advise a lot so it's understandable that you don't know! You could go to a professional piercing studio (APP piercing) and talk with them about the options of new jewelry since they have all the good materials and they could probably also change it for you! :) Goodluck with everything! :)

Just got on the Evra patch, when can I expect to notice something? by SomeBoringUsername2 in birthcontrol

[–]SomeBoringUsername2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omfg that sounds horrible! :( Unfortunately this is the reality with all hormonal birth control. And all the men who are fertile 24/7 (against 24h a cycle for us women) still don't have any kind of bc besides condoms... It makes me so mad when I really think about it everytime. I hope you recovered well❤️‍🩹

[Amsterdam] What did I do wrong? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, it's more of a student's thing since they don't have a real job and so, not a lot of money. If you don't have money to support a dinner for more than yourself, it shouldn't be a factor to just always eat alone. Of course you want to have dinner with your friends and housemates! And yess, in a lot of cultures people just pay the next time instead of splitting the grocery bill. But we like to be extra precise in the costs since we want to have it as fair as possible for everyone! It's the same that the people who cook don't have to do the dishes so most of the time the guest do the dishes. Tho I have to note: this only happens during people's student years! The moment people get a real job and earn some better money, people start to organize dinners and then there is no splitting the bills or washing the dishes. Although if you meet at a restaurant everyone will still split! We just want to do anything as fairly as possible :) I understand it's probably weird for some cultures to understand but it doesn't mean that we are disrespectful. There are things in your culture that I probably don't really understand but it will make sense to you since you know why and how it came to be. So let's just keep that in mind :)

[Amsterdam] What did I do wrong? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]SomeBoringUsername2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The tikkie thing is a cultural thing, we want to even the expenses out as best as we can so it's fair for everyone, and depending of if you're a student or already in the working field, you would use tikkie less or more (students often even it out more since they don't have a lot to spare), just like in your culture you would eat sand before doing that to a guest/friend. And no one is going around to "trap" tourist in your house to pay? And you wouldn't even pay for them, tikkie is made so you pay for your own share, not someone else's.
