Its intended purposes are for hard surfaces, not direct exposure to broken, open wounds on your body. It is moreso meant as a surface cleaner/disinfectant because it can damage and slow down progress of healing wounds. I wouldnt even use a diluted version on myself tbh. Especially not if the kind youre using is the white, thicker, cream-liquid version of peroxide since that is designed specifically for hair, its why stylists check your head for cuts or marks before colouring because it can result in a chemical burn, which ive seen get really nasty. We use 1.5% when toning hair so it really fucks me up seeing stuff about diluting 2-6% in a 1:10 ratio for fkn mouthwash. Goes against all my training lol

I thought the same but the profile seems legit. I feel like if someone told me 50% of all long text reddit posts were from the same ai chatbot I would not be shocked, something makes all text sort of sound similar here. I have to fight my cynicism all the time. Especially the TIFU posts, they all sound like a template is used.

Like all insurance/warrantees the company selling them pays out (on average) less in coverage than it collects in fees/premiums otherwise they would go out of business. So, they are good in situations where the most expensive thing they would ever cover would be more than you could pay yourself, otherwise you are better off being self-insured.

For healthcare or vehicle liability the chance of an extremely expensive event that could bankrupt you is a lot higher than for a car repair. For things like home or car warrantee you will generally be better off just putting the money you would have paid for the warrantee into a savings account and pay for repairs yourself as they arise.

Yes, there is the occasional situation where every appliance in your house dies in a short period of time and the warrantee works out but there are a lot more people who get little or no benefit from the warrantee. If there weren't then the companies could not make a profit selling them.

If you are asking yourself if you still like Jessica roo much, that in itself fully explains why your current GF is holding off on having kids/buying a house with you.

You need to figure out what you want, for your sake and hers. While it will most likely get messy, you all (you, your friend, and the GFs) need to sit down and figure out what you want. Because otherwise someone is getting hurt in this situation.
