I was under the impression that "dedicated bathroom" meant a completely private bathroom meant only for my usage, however upon arrival I see it is located in the hallway to be shared with others guests.

This isn't a complete deal breaker but I'm staying a month here, and that is a lack of comfort and privacy I wasn't expecting. The private bathroom is partly why I chose this place.

Am I entitled to any kind of refund?

My grandmother, born in 1942, renounced her Italian citizenship prior to the birth on my mother in 1967. Per the minor issue I understood this to mean my mother and I were disqualified from citizenship, but now that the minor issue has been amended I'm not sure where this leaves us.

Basically what the title says. I've been a digital nomad for the past 4 years and I've become accustomed to hopping around a lot, and frankly prefer it to having a permanent address. I am now in France in a long-stay visa and plan on getting one eventually, but I also want to have time living in different parts of my chosen city before committing to one place.

Is this allowed? Will it cause any issues when it comes time to renew my visa?

My partner and I recently stayed a single night at an Airbnb. We assumed we'd have the place to ourselves, but turned out the host was staying, which was fine. As many couples do we engaged in physical intimacy a couple of times, we made sure to be quiet, private, and left no mess behind. All of my other reviews are positive and attest that I am a respectful guest.

A week later I receive an angry message from her, asking how we could make her so uncomfortable, that she could hear and knew what we were doing.

I sincerely feel sorry for making her uncomfortable, however we weren't bouncing off the walls and shouting and stayed quiet, we kept to ourselves and left the room clean. It seems unreasonable to not expect two grown adults sharing a bed to not do anything, and if the thought makes you uncomfortable you shouldn't hosts couples.

Anyone have this experience? Not sure how I should respond to her. Are we in the wrong? Again, we really were quiet aside from perhaps the bed creaking.

We are both men, so it's possible homophobia is a factor, but I don't want to jump to that.

Edit: My partner and I misunderstood that it was a shared space. We interpreted access to an apartment as us having the apartment to ourselves. Regardless, I think it's strange to host couples if you are uncomfortable with this possibility.

Edit 2: This post blew up, I likely won't be responding to any more comments, but thanks everyone for your support, I appreciate it.

I've been struggling with treatment resistant depression and C/PTSD and my therapist believes I would be a good candidate.

But I hate tripping. It terrifies me even when it's not necessarily "scary". I've tried psychedelics like mushrooms and LSD and I just loathe the experience. I worry if I did a session I would begin to panic.

How is ketamine feel different in comparison to other tripping substances? If I could do it without the psychoactive effects I would.

I'm scared of it due to my prior negative experiences but my mental health is ruining my life.

I got my long-stay visa recently but first I came to Sweden to visit family and friends. I already have my address in France, but do I have to be there physically in order to register on the visa website? Or can I do it while I'm in Sweden as long as I have an address?

I started non-hormonal birth control last year, but about 8 months in I started getting spotting and cramps. I would take a week break and have a period then resume.

However after almost a year I'm still having breakthrough bleeding almost monthly starting about three months ago. I went off it again for a week back in May to have a period and resumed. Now in July I've been having spotting and cramps for nearly two weeks.

When I look it up results say spotting is normal within months of starting on hormonal birth control. Why is this happening after a year of non-hormonal?

I have endometriosis if that matters.

My visa became valid the 4th of June, I am about to fly out to the EU and am visiting family in Sweden for 2 months first to escape the brutal heat in France before moving and establishing a residence officially.

However, my visa says I need to register my address within 90 days of arrival. My instinct is to take that on face value, that the 90 days begins when I arrive in the EU on the 25th and I will need to register 90 days post, but I want to be certain. Is there any chance it means that I have to register 90 days of my visa being issued, or is just 90 days after arriving acceptable?

Yea yea, we all know, there's no such thing as a bad aspect, but damn some can make life hard. Still, the point of having a challenging aspect is to integrate it, so what are some of the positives we can find and make from the aspects we'd rather not have?

Some of my most hated aspects in my chart and what I actually like about them (while still ranting about them a bit):

• Saturn opposite Mars: This one makes everything an uphill battle, I feel like I have to work twice as hard for half the result sometimes. Makes getting anything done, no matter how simple, feel like a slog. Trying to get big stuff done? Absolutely sisysphean. But, I can see shit through. I don't give up and if something isn't working, I find another way. I'm not daunted by the long game, I'm not afraid of the grind. I can see value and put energy into the small, daily, sometimes grueling tasks because I know they're worth it. I gain just as much from the process as I do the result itself, and when I finally do get it, it's long-lasting.
• Mars square Pluto: This aspect is sometimes seen in victims of violence, I'm one of them. It makes me paranoid and distrustful at times, and can make me feel like I need to live life in survival mode. But I do not tolerate mistreatment, for myself or others. I know my worth, I know my power, and I try to remind others of theirs. I have a strong sense of right and wrong that I stick to, and I believe in myself to fight when I need and to pursue self-improvement unafraid. (Which has been indispensible when it comes to healing trauma, not being afraid of hard emotions.)
• Mercury opposite Neptune/Uranus: Pretty sure these are responsible for my autism lmao or at least how my autism manifests. I can struggle with self-expression, my way of thinking is very different from others (apparently), people don't always believe me or struggle to understand me. But I'm creative, I'm good at seeing things in ways others don't, I genuinely enjoy my imagination. I very rarely get bored because I find so many things interesting. Even locked alone in a room or sitting on a flight for hours, my mind can entertain me.

I have more, which I may add in the comments, we'll see.

Let's hear about some of yours! Our souls choose our chart for a reason, so what's something good you've been able to get out of your hard aspects?

Bonjour!

I am moving to Lille this summer as an intersex person, meaning that I was born with male and female anatomy. I wanted to know if there are any doctors, clinics, and especially obstetrician/OBGYN, who is welcoming towards people who are not cisgender.

I lived in the UK last summer and struggled finding care, I was constantly told "we don't do that, try this place" several times before I found a good clinic. (Even though the care I required had nothing to do with gender or trans care, but they seemed to think it did despite me trying to explain.)

Many places may be welcoming of gay patients, but not people with anatomical differences like me.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

I just got my long-stay visa approved (yay!) and attached to my passport is a QR code saying that I must validate my visa within 3 months of entering. That's fine, I already knew I'd have to do that.

My question is, will they accept an Airbnb address? Or will I have to find an aparment within this time?

My plan is definitely to find an apartment of course, but due to some other travel plans I may not be able to find an apartment quite within that timeframe.

Will the Airbnb I'm using upon my arrival suffice?

Nobody who just picks up drawing after barely ever having done it before it going to be able to produce anything that could be mistaken for AI. That just isn't how drawing works. Outside of very rare circumstances, it takes years and years of practice to look like something that AI would leech off of.

If you've never seen any artwork from your friend until just now and they're showing you something too good to be true, it almost certainly is.

edit: I know the title says "you're" not "your", blame autocorrect

I'm applying for a long-stay visa as an American citizen.

Per the rules, you are allowed to be outside of France for 90 days at a time. If the visa is granted, I would like to spend the first month in Sweden due to some family matters over there, and then return to France and begin my stay there properly.

Per the application requirements, you're required to provide and address for a out the first 3 months of your intended stay.

Am I allowed to provide an address starting month after? Or rather, I'm planning on staying in Airbnb's while I apartment hunt- if I book one Airbnb for a month, another for two months after, then cancel the first one so that I can proceed to Sweden, will the visa office be able to check and see?

If they see that I cancelled it but still have two months booked after that, will it effect their decision? Are they able to see it at all since Airbnb is a private company?

I'm not trying to scam or game the system, like I said I have family in Sweden and there are some events I would like to attend before I begin my life in France proper, and the visa allows inter-EU travel, I just want to do some of it at the beginning on my visa.
