  • You can totally be the nice guy in this case. Imma just call a spade a spade. I suspect that this account and those comments are intended to drive people to YouTube. The first thing people do when dealing with controversy is check a person’s profile. The first thing they will see on that profile is basically an ad and self-promotion. Maybe I am looking too deep into this, but when you read his comments the way he narrates, it kinda clicked about what the motive might be.

    I do totally understand your point. Mental health issues are absolutely real and should be addressed. How much we can do about that here on Lemmy is debatable.









  • An epoxy might work to keep any more glass from cracking, but I am doubtful. If you can somehow make a mold or something to contain the epoxy while it sets, that might help. Sanding off the excess epoxy sounds tricky as well.

    I guess in reality, any glue should work to help secure the rest of the glass for a little bit of time. Also in reality, the glass is already compromised so it’s anyone’s guess how long any fix would keep the damage from spreading. To simulate something like a windshield repair, you would need to forcefully inject the glue or expoxy into the damaged area to fill any developing cracks completely.

    Any kind of fix still probably needs to get covered with a beefy phone case afterwards.

    It’s hard to say what a decent fix would be or how it might cause issues with future repairs without a hands-on look at the damage. The best option is to replace the back of the phone whenever that becomes possible. (I suspect any glues or epoxies would interfere with that.)


  • I’ve interacted with him/her a time or two and there haven’t been any extreme negative experiences. I actually kinda got a kick out of watching their effort to boycott .ml (which I total am down with) and troll the admins over there. (Propagandists get no love from me.)

    I have seen a questionable post or two related to advertising, but it was in a dedicated community for the company. Not a fan of that here, but it’s easy enough to block and it wasn’t flooding unrelated communities.





  • Vyvanse wasn’t a pleasant experience for me. It felt like it crushed all of my dopamine receptors and life got really boring, really quick. (Obviously, this isn’t everyone’s experience, but it was mine.) It took a few weeks for my brain to recover.

    I didn’t try switching because I wanted to (adderall works just fine for me), it’s because the adderall supply was low in my area for a bit and I wanted it find an alternative.



  • I completely stopped taking that stuff as a sleeping medicine. I might take it if I happen to develop an allergy or something, but that is about it.

    Also, I believe the risk of dependency needs to be reevaluated for that stuff. For me, I trade one nights sleep for two shitty ones if I take it. So, it’s keep taking it, or just power through a couple more days of not being able to get to sleep after taking it. I personally believe this can lead to longer term sleep issues. (I do not believe there is going to be evidence or studies to back up my claims, but I haven’t really looked.)

    Sure, it could have just been psychological issues for me, but there were issues nonetheless.
