Hello,

I’m trying to find a dermatologist office in Paris that will provide removal of moles for mainly aesthetic reasons, at a reasonable price.

I don’t have a mutuelle but since it’s for cosmetic reasons I guess it doesn’t matter anyway since I’d most likely pay out of pocket unless they suspect it’s cancerous or something. Anyway I have been waiting for an appt in my city for a while but will be spending a few months in paris this summer so figured I might as well try to go while im here and there are more healthcare providers accessible.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a dermatologist who offers these procedures at a reasonable rate in Paris? Thanks!!

Bonjour,

Je suis un étudiant étranger et la préfecture vient de me demander une attestation de réussite dans un délai de 30 jours.

Pourtant, on est censé finir nos stages/memoire en octobre et le jury ne va même pas se reunir avant septembre, les profs n’ont pas fini à noter nos partiels ni envoyé les notes et j’ai même pas commencé un stage donc ce ne sera même pas possible en théorie d’obtenir une attestation provisoire vu qu’on sait techniquement pas encore si j’ai réussi…

J’avais demandé une prolongation pour cette raison et ce matin j’ai reçu une notif de ANEF me demandant un justificatif de mon attestation de réussite pour l’année en cours. En plus ils m’ont donné 30 jours pour y répondre et soumettre tous les documents sinon ils vont clôturer ma demande.

Je leur ai déjà envoyé mes notes du S1 et une attestation de la part de la scolarité attestant que ce master termine fin octobre et expliquant la situation, mais apparemment ce n’était pas suffisamment. Je n’ai aucune idée de ce que je pourrais faire maintenant ou comment je peux régler cette situation.

Que puis je faire pour prolonger mon titre de séjour dans ce cas ? Est ce qu’il existe une solution ?

Hello,

Aujourd’hui j’ai reçu une notif de ANEF me demandant un justificatif de mon attestation de réussite pour l’année 2026-2027 (mon master 2 en cours) car j’ai demandé à intégrer un deuxième cursus et j’ai besoin de prolonger mon visa avant qu’il périme dans 2 mois… Pourtant le jury pour mon m2 actuel ne va pas se réunir pour valider les notes avant septembre 2026 au plus tôt. ANEF/la préfecture m’a donné 30 jours pour y répondre et soumettre tous les documents sinon ils vont clôturer ma demande.

J’avais déjà envoyé mon relevé de notes du S1 et une attestation de la dame à la scolarité attestant que ce master termine le 30 octobre et expliquant la situation, mais ils ont quand même demandé cela, je ne sais pas quoi mettre de plus lol. On a déjà passé nos partiels mais je pense que les profs vont pas commencer à noter jusqu’à fin été lol, l’année dernière ils ont eu leurs notes en octobre… existe t il un autre document que je peux rechercher ??

Que pourrais je faire pour terminer ma demande de titre de séjour dans ce cas ?

Sorry but the way they were hyping it up for the past 5,000 years I was really expecting just… more ??

I don’t hate her music but I also don’t think olivia makes particularly outstanding or unique songs, she just basically publishes her diary with uninspired melodies and “vulnerable” sad lyrics which appeals to parasocial fans who relate to her insecurity and anxiety. It’s a very specific brand of success and while she’s still somewhat talented, I feel like her massive success since drivers license is honestly super disproportionate to how good the music itself actually is. I don’t really listen to a lot of pop but feel like she’s on the same level as sabrina, billie, gracie, chappell, etc she’s not like “miles above their league” like people think she is.

Like before sour had even been out for very long people were already saying she could sell stadiums, and was “too big” to open for anyone. She could barely sing on stage without getting out of breath yet actual stars were treating her like their peer. They were acting like she was like this extremely special and unbelievably talented legend and it’s like… all the songs were… fine? They were just sad whiny teenage songs that weren’t awful they just didn’t deserve the amount of glazing they got. People still talk about sour now like it’s some kind of masterpiece and her next albums were also just like… fine. Probably better than the average 20 year old could do but not enough to earn her the level of extreme recognition and success that she has imo.

So why do people treat her super differently and glaze her so hard? she makes “diaristic” heartbreak and insecurity songs and honestly all of her albums feel half-baked. Is it because they needed someone to latch onto? Or even because of the brand she curated and maybe pretty privilege or something? I feel like the music is probably good and above average for the audience it tries to reach but the glazing is super over the top and it’s honestly been surprising ever since sour came out. Im neither a livie nor a hater, I’ve just liked literally one of her songs and that was drivers license LOL.

I don’t think this ever happened before I had sibo. Now it will repeat like clockwork. I’ll be constipated for days then suddenly have the urgent need to go and it’s not even possible to hold it and it usually comes out kinda sticky like a mousse like texture. The lower bloating and backed up feeling is also super intense… Usually the BM doesn’t even manage to come out all at once, it comes out in different “waves” like the main one is early in the morning and urgent and then a few more follow up that are more and more sticky or loose each time…

Does anyone know a remedy for this or at least what causes it so it’s easier to fix? I’ve been on lots of protocols like berberine, oregano, 2x antibiotics, other random supplements from naturopath doc who basically shrugs now, and nothing seems to help. I guess curing sibo would be the real solution lol but in the meantime what should I do to make things more bearable and less annoying? It’s kinda exhausting being backed up for days then having watery poos that don’t even come out all in one go…

Earlier this month my mother’s distant cousin invited our family to a reunion that will take place in about a week. Literally from the second she received that news she’s been hounding me about losing weight. She keeps saying it would be so great to show up to the family reunion and impress everyone bc ur so skinny! Which is like… why don’t YOU lose weight then if you want that so bad?

It’s crazy how obviously she views me as her own personalizable sim or avatar because she thinks she can just play the game to customize it however she wants. And then gets upset when the sim doesn’t work how she wanted it to. She kept saying you need to be skinny, you need to wear makeup, you need to wear this and that, all to impress random people who likely will never think about us or pay the slightest bit of attention to what we look like.

My mother’s insecurity and obsession with physical appearances has always been all-consuming. Even if it was more important than a simple family reunion it’s so insane that she wanted someone else to lose weight so she could look good and show off how skinny her kids are to random distant family members.

Does anyone else have a super insecure asian mom who makes her issues your problem?

My AM has zero sense of boundaries or emotional regulation so she always dumps her self confidence issues on us. not only does she use us as therapists, she also projects onto us and tries to make OUR appearances her problem too.

For instance earlier this month our distant cousin invited us to a family dinner at the end of june and she already started whining that my sister and I are fat and we need to lose weight JUST for the family dinner because we have to impress the cousin’s daughter who is apparently 24 and “very pretty and skinny” (I guarantee she will not be looking at us or getting upset that we’re fat or whatever lol) I think she’s just in silent competition with her cousin over whose child is skinniest lol.

She also runs to the bathroom every morning to put on double eyelid tape even if we are just sitting around the dining table to eat breakfast because she’s too “afraid” we will see her with her real eyelids (even though it’s genetic we all have the same monolids!!) it’s lucky that my sister and I have fairly strong self esteem bc I think this would make anyone develop self confidence issues…

We also can’t go anywhere until she plasters on tons of makeup. Any photos we’re in she spends hours editing and pasting on tons of filters and blurring out imperfections until we all look like AI Barbie dolls, like she’s even insecure that my sister has freckles or I have a double chin or that my dad has wrinkles even though it’s not even her face.

It’s weird because she seems to become insecure when we don’t look the way she wants. She whines, cries and throws tantrums if we tan too much, if we gain weight, if we don’t put on makeup. She literally nags us like a toddler if we are going to a family reunion because she can’t handle the idea of showing up to a gathering with “ugly” kids.

It’s not even just physical appearance, it’s also clothing choices. My sister was literally just wearing a blue hat and my AM started whining like a 5 year old saying “it looks like a boys hat!! It’s not girly!!!” Like … ok? Don’t get one and wear it then? Why does she care so much?

I get that there are some serious ingrained confidence and self esteem problems but it seems like my AM really takes it to the extreme. Does anyone else’s AM have these kinds of issues? How do you usually react if at all?

I recently moved to a new city and have been having a hard time making friends. One of my friends “Jennifer” and I have known each other for about a year. We aren’t super close, we just knew each other from school and we sometimes hang out mainly in groups.

On thursday we texted to make a plan for brunch at 12pm on friday. I had invited her and she confirmed the time and we set a meeting point and a few min later I sent a suggestion for where we could go and she didn’t answer. Jennifer left me on delivered then on friday morning she texted saying she had a headache and wasn’t sure she could make it in the morning so maybe afternoon would be better. I texted back about 5-10 min later saying ok no worries evening is fine, what time? And she again didn’t answer or open the message. About half an hour later I texted again saying it’s ok if ur not feeling it but lmk if u still want to meet today, tomorrow is fine as well:)

Jennifer didn’t open that either, I decided it wasn’t happening and went to do other things. I got up and went into town and did errands, 12pm went by and it was late in the afternoon around 4 or 5pm when I checked my messages again. My last messages were still unopened and I saw she was posting pictures of some social gathering on her story. She was in some place that looked like a campsite or festival and had photos of drinks, boats, the beach, etc.

I realized it was probably because she found “better plans” at the last minute which is a huge red flag for me in a friendship but especially because she couldn’t even spend 0.05 seconds to let me know and even just say nope not feeling it anymore. I went on insta again around 6pm and there were more stories, I had posted a story of the food I ate for dinner and Jennifer watched that as well but hadn’t opened or replied to my message earlier.

Then at 7 or 8 I got a message from her saying “oops I couldn’t make it after all:)” with a smiley face and a second message “my b!” With no other apology or acknowledgment of my offer to reschedule. I didn’t reply and just read the message but it’s been bothering me since, and idk how to reply or how I would act if I saw her again in person. Normally I think I should say something but it doesn’t seem like she really gaf, she kept posting to her stories after that and watching my stories as if nothing happened. Maybe it really doesn’t mean anything to her but it bothers me to be treated like an afterthought, but I also don’t want to force it especially if I’m not sure I want to still be friends after this. I’m conflicted bc I also feel disrespected as a friend and I’m not sure if it would make things worse to say all that especially when the other person seems so disinterested, blasé and dismissive.

Is this something that’s worth discussing or just better to let it go and distance myself if she doesn’t reach out again? Have you ever had a friend who behaved like this and how did it make you feel? how did/would you respond?

One of the dishes I was told to try was daube and I got some from a touristy restaurant on saleya, I dont remember the name but dont think it was the best one, I liked the flavor but it was a bit dry and overly salted, it may have just been an off day or just not the best place for it so going to give this dish a second chance later this week!

Does anyone have any recommendation for where to get really good daube niçoise ? Which place makes the best one in your opinion?

I know that aimer and aimer bien are generally very différent for people, like « aimer bien » is more for friends and « aimer » is more for very strong, family or romantic love.

Anyway Ive heard aimer bien used for general things you appreciate and enjoy and im wondering how its différent from aimer if its about objects like hobbys, food or interests.

For example I showed someone a photo of my teddy bears collection and they said « ah t’aime bien les nounours du coup » And once someone saw I had a sticker on my laptop of a glass of matcha and they remarked « ah t’aimes bien le matcha c’est ça » And people might ask general questions as well like « alors t’aime bien avoir une voiture ? » « t’aime bien les lapins? » « vous aimez bien ce bureau ? » or « t’aime bien le tennis il me semble ! »

I feel like ive heard this more often that just « aimer » on its own in this context. But what does the bien add to this and does it change anything about the meaning or tone?
