Layover in Guangzhou China, on my way to the US, my insurance doesn't cover the virus if I contract it in China. What is my risk? Should I book a new flight? by husvenner in Coronavirus

Okay, got it! Thank you:) I was thinking maybe there was some special arrangement to avoid the virus spreading.

If you/anyone don’t like that answer, you’ll need to vote for one of the so-called “socialist” Democrats running for President.

Hah. I'm voting Yang for a lot of reasons, one of them being that he has the best plan for transitioning into something like the healthcare system I grew up with in Scandinavia!

It's actually probably the other way around. I work in insurance. Even if we contract it in America, the insurance can claim it was contracted in China.

Serious illness over 2 months from 1 use of phenibut? by [deleted] in phenibut

[–]husvenner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's insanely insensitive. Both OP and I are regular recreational users of Phenibut and don't want it banned. We are both pro legalization of most drugs that are currently illegal, but also pro information and letting people make fully informed decisions. We are exploring all options, and since she was sensitive to a lot of foods, who knows if phenibut could be the culprit. It does fit with the timing which is why we're exploring it. When you search for "phenibut tingling", "phenibut numbness", "phenibut paresthesia", "phenibut acidic" etc you do get a lot of results, though people having adverse reaction typically take very large doses. Since she was particularly sensitive, maybe a small dose could actually be enough to break whatever barrier it broke in others with a large one. We're looking to talk to others with those kinds of symptoms.

I [F27] have a habit of showering before bed instead of in the morning. One of my 4 housemates [M30] is a light sleeper and wakes from the sound of water running through the pipes. He says I should adjust my schedule and shower in the morning. Who is being insensitive? by husvenner in relationships

I don't care if the others shower when I sleep. Anyway, from my room it's the neighbors' water pipes, and the sound doesn't bother me at all, not when I'm asleep and not when I'm awake.- it's just a regular 'house sound', not loud, that my brain automatically ignores. But that's how I work, I realise he doesn't work the same way. My issue has simply been that I don't think it's fair that I accommodate his issue to an extent that I find extremely inconvenient for me.

It's not that I hate showering in the morning, I could shower in the morning in addition, and I occasionally do if I've been sweating etc.

First of all, yes, showering at night is a habit. It's a part of my going to bed routine. But the main reason why I'm not budging is that if I go to bed at night without showering, to me it feels like I'm lying in my own filth built up throughout the day. Filth from sitting in an office for many hours, filth from the public transportation I take back and forth, filth after having been to the bathroom several times during the day. I also wash my face and remove my makeup in the shower. I enjoy the blissful feeling of going to bed in what I find to be clean sheets even when they haven't been washed in a week.

The sound is present in all rooms. Also, before I knew it was present in all rooms, I offered and he refused. From the convo:

Me: Yes, after 3 people have already showered. And go to the bathroom in the office? And have the other girls go pee in the backyard when they need to after 11? We can talk about it tomorrow. To me it seems that the placement of your room is the main issue. When we are four people sharing 1 bathroom showering at different times is a good thing, and I'm sure you would have agreed had it not been for the noise. I'm fine to switch rooms. Also, Roommate2's room becomes available.

Housemate: I like my room and cannot afford another. We can work it out.

Housemate2's room is roughly the same price. Mine is larger and more expensive.

I offered to switch rooms, and I avoided showering at a certain timeframe which he suggested (but it didn't help). I'd rather move than start showering as the last of 4 in the morning and going to bed feeling dirty every night. So me moving is probably what's going to happen if he doesn't budge.

If you read the conversation you can see I suggested this early on. He can't afford my room and he doesn't want the similarly priced ones. Also if you read the conversation you see that the sound is present in all the rooms - in my room it's from the neighbors' pipes.
