SDV Romance Survey

I'm creating a survey to try to gather as much information about romances as I can. Do certain types of people romance one character more frequently? Which character is romanced the most? Do people who don't like Harvey's mustache still romance him? All questions I'm eager to know.

I'm mostly doing this for a silly powerpoint party with some friends, but I know others will be curious so I will happily share the results of all my data gathering.

Thank you for any support and participation!

just some random idea that popped in my mind, i wish i could have dreams like ei🥰🤧

[valtsv]

to the casual observer it may look like i'm trying to summon a demon but anyone who knows me will realize that i am simply calling my wife

[underneath-the-skin]

The wife and the demon are the same person

The fact that these replies would mean wildly different thing had they been said on a different platform, such as Facebook, is absolutely hilarious

actually that’s a super genius tip. i never thought of that. boost!!

[stormy-bun]

hey! just to let you know, in your study, you have the word "ambitious" in it twice, in word rating pt 1 and pt 2. idk if it was intentional but just in case it wasnt

pt 2. (last anon) and nervous in pt. 3

Hey thanks for pointing this out! I’m going to reply under a read more just so anyone else who partakes doesn’t see my reply before doing the study :)

This is totally intentional and there is actually a couple of repetitions throughout the study. This is to make sure no one is just randomly answering so we can compare the same words against each other and make sure they’re not opposites (ie. they’ve said roughly the same thing)

Thank you so much for participating though and pointing this out!I hope you’re having a nice day :)

A study on the positivity/negativity of certain words

In this study you will be given a word and be asked to rate this word in terms of positivity and negativity in terms of a person's characteristics or personality. For example; the word "normal" will be presented to you, and you will then have to rate this word on a scale of 1-5. In the first half of the study 1 will represent words you would find a strongly NEGATIVE characteristic of a person, and 5 a strongly POSITIVE characteristic. This will change half way through the study, but you will be warned of this in advance. If you do not know or understand a word please mark it as neutral (3) First we ask for your email address to prevent repeated participation and to contact you later about the study if necessary. We also ask you fill a small questionnaire. These details will remain anonymous and be destroyed after the study. This study should take approximately 10 minutes to finish. Answer the questions below and when you are ready please begin.

If people could do this quick study for me I’d be eternally grateful thank you sm

hey guys psa regarding hospital bills

don’t just pay it. do not automatically pay the hospital bill when you receive it. call your health insurance provider and POLITELY say, “excuse me, i just received a bill for $1200 for my hospital visit/ER visit/etc., is that the correct amount i’m supposed to pay?” because hospitals bill you before your health insurance and they will take your money no matter how the amount due may change based on your health insurance looking at it. 90% of the time, if your health insurance is in any way involved in the payment of that bill, you do not have to pay as much as the hospital is billing you for. call your health insurance provider first, and POLITELY request clarification, always remember that the person you are talking to is human and this is just their job, and then you will very likely find out you actually only owe $500.

don’t shout at anyone about it, don’t get mad, just understand that this is The Way Things Are right now and call your health insurance provider before paying the bill your hospital just sent you. there’s a chance the hospital bill might be correct, true, but call your health insurance provider.

[smallercomfort]

THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT. after my car accident last year the hospital billed me ~$8000. They sent me letters asking me to pay, and I called them back saying my insurance was processing the claim. This is also what I told the collection agency when they kept calling me about the $1000 emergency room fee (billed separately from the hospital fee, mind you). Once everything got straightened out, all I was actually liable for was my $200 emergency copay.

Reblogging for American friends.

Also, it is important [for people receiving medical care in the USA] to carefully read all of the items on the medical bill and look for errors and overcharges. I know that the normal feelings of avoidance and dread can make it hard to look at scary hospital bills, and that’s okay! But as the OP mentions, private orgs like hospitals don’t monitor overpayment of bills - they are motivated to charge you extra - and it is basically impossible to get your money back. Read the bill carefully and make sure that the charges are correct, using the links below for help if you need. If they haven’t sent you an itemized list, you can ask for one. Sometimes you will be charged extra for items or treatment you didn’t receive. Most people don’t know that you can dispute medical bills! But in 2009, Consumer Reports stated that 8 out of 10 medical bills scrutinized by a watchdog had errors, and generally you are not obligated to pay for someone else’s error.

You may be charged for using medication that you actually brought into the hospital with you - that’s easy to dispute! You may be charged for the consumables used during your stay such as sheets, gloves, gowns, etc - the hospital should actually cover that under its running budget. You may be charged for a brand name drug if the generic was available for cheaper - the links below explain how and when you can dispute this. You may be charged a surprisingly expensive “oral administration fee” (where a nurse puts pills for you to take in a little clean paper cup and then hands it to you) but that’s worth disputing if you were actually able to take the pill out of a bottle and put it in your own mouth. And so on.

Ugh one thing I loved about Thailand was I had a hospital visit, filled out a (half) sheet of paper, saw the doctor, had tests run and got 5 medications under 45 minutes all for $60 flat no insurance needed.

Get it together America.
