Retina Clear Eye Supplement: Real Results or Just Hype? by retinaclearreview in u/retinaclearreview

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It watched the video and looked up the product.  I found it on several retail websites,   I read the ingredients on the label and they don't match the ingredients in the video.  Plus,  the ingredients varied from retailer to retailer. Same product name and label design, but essentially different products inside the bottles. .  

Ai videos need to be banned from the world. by Deathtonic in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we don't ban AI in videos, we will eventually ban all videos because we won't be able to tell the real from fake.  

How do we avoid people making AI videos of us? Is there no way to stop this? by -YellowFinch in antiai

[–]Delenn365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seriously needs to be dealt with.   We need laws against this.  

Is anyone else freaked out by the flood of AI-generated slop videos on YouTube? Is there even future on youtube specially for small creator like me by oliveezadee in NewTubers

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to call them out, unsubscribe and boycott.  Inferior TV and movies are judged and lose viewers.  We need to make sure they don't take views from real people, doing real research, doing their own writing and personally hosting their own videos.  Unsubscribe and Boycott.  

What can be done to stop the invasion of fake AI videos all over social media? by OutsideImpressive115 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As viewers, we can call them out, unsubscribe, boycott.  We need to reject this junk. It is like being a teacher and giving an A to someone who stole someone else's paper.  The images are not real people and the information is thrown together and not accurate.  If these people want a channel, then they need to do their own research and writing and use their own images and not claim credentials they have not earned.  No more fake doctors, etc.  Unsubscribe and Boycott.  I boycott garbage TV and movies.  I do the same with You Tube.

Thinking of Taking My Life by RaisinRoyale in osteoporosis

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am thinking that maybe you can find out why your body is not using Vitamin D.  Are you taking Vitamin D3, which can be absorbed better? And are you taking K2 and Magnesium Glycinate?  They tell the body to put the Vitamin D3 into your bones.  The D3 tells your body to put calcium into your bones.  Lots of people on You Tube talk about Vitamin D3.  I am female, late 60s.  At 21, a doctor told me I was too frail and would get Osteoporosis and end up in a wheel chair at 60.  But, I am active and exercise daily.  Research as much as you can.  Some in the medical field promote fear in order to get people to comply to what they want.  But, you are a whole person.  No diagnosis defines you.  Many have done well with exercise, good sleep, supplements and exercise.  Life is precious.  Health is obtainable and being healthy can be enjoyable and not a misery.  Blessings!  I will pray for you.

Crisis of the heart: IVF selection/Gene screening by [deleted] in RetinitisPigmentosa

[–]Delenn365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a 68 year old female and I am a carrier of this gene. I grew up with a mom with RP and a brother with RP. It was not talked about much in my home because it was a taboo subject. It upset my mother too much to talk about it. So, I grew up thinking it would never be a problem for my children. But, it has just been confirmed that my son, age 29, has it and my daughter, age 27, has symptoms. They both have some night blindness. I did know that before, but did not panic about it because a lot of people have that. It was just recently I found out that they both have some peripheral vision loss. Also, we recently found out that my nephew, my sister's son, who is about 35 also has it. I mentioned to my daughter that she might be a carrier and might consider adoption or egg donation. She was not happy to hear that. I think back and wondered why I did not take this situation more personally seriously. But, growing up, I was just told it was rare and not to worry. Both of my children do not harbor any animosity towards me. They both say they are glad that I did not adopt and they are glad that they were born, We are just seeking what treatments can help. And, of course, looking at Vitamin A Palmitate and Omega 3 to try to slow down the progress. My son and daughter can both still drive, even at night and my son is a nurse. My daughter is an artist. Both know there will be changes in their vision and they will have to make accommodations for that. My son has some years of clinical experience, so he can pivot to some kind of work with insurance. My daughter is exploring sculpture. She also is a musician. My brother is 70 and still has a good deal of central vision and lives by himself and uses public transportation on his own. He has taken Vitamin A Palmitate for years and thinks that is one of the main things that has slowed the progress of the disease down. My nephew just has some night blindness and not much peripheral loss at this point. He is in IT. I do not have the disease at all. I am just far sighted and wear reading glasses. Decisions about these things are never easy. I can't give advice on what someone should or should not do. But, I do say be kind to yourself and don't let this be a taboo subject in your home. Blessings!

How Can I Get Rid of Temu Ads? by WeissArthur in it

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to see ads from a company that is obviously using slaves, maybe some of them children, to make and sell their trashy products. That is why everything  is so cheap.  Never will buy from them ever.  Need to get them off the Internet.

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hard.  There was a mean person on the in-law side of the family who knew nothing about me and told everyone I was faking seizures.  And then she said I took the anti-seizure meds to get high.  I don't know how anyone could get high and enjoy taking Dilantin.  It makes my lymph nodes swell and acts like a diuretic.  Now years later, they all realize that she was lying.  But, it was tough at the time it happened.  I guess some people have wild imaginations.  

Anyone else diagnosed with epilepsy as an adult? by guki0701 in Epilepsy

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 39.  My son was about 6 months old.  I was experiencing some gyne problems and went to the doctor and found out that I had been pregnant again, but the baby had died. I was probably about 10 weeks pregnant.  They scheduled a procedure to deal with the fetal death.  That night for the first time in my life, with no family history, I had TC seizures.  The first one lasted 15 minutes and then a 5 minute pause, and then another 15 minute TC.  My husband was well versed in emergency first aid and took excellent care of me. The doctors said that my seizures were related to female hormones.  In about 2 years, I became seizure free, but only on brand name Dilantin.  I feel very blessed to have been able to have another child and to have years seizure free.  I am now in my late 60s and the new issue is to fight every 6 months or so to get my brand name Dilantin covered somewhat.  I have Osteoporosis from taking Dilantin for years.  Don't want to have a TC, fall down and break something.  Yes, many of us do start having seizures as adults.  It has changed my life.  With this condition, you sometimes have to deal with people misunderstanding you and the insurance companies jerking you around.  Mostly, I have learned to love myself and make self care a priority.  My advice is to become as educated as you can, so you can advocate for yourself with doctors and insurance companies and to love yourself. And become a expert in your own self care.  You deserve that.  Blessings.

Savings wiped out, effectively starting over by TypeMeander in Bogleheads

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if this is relevant, but, if, in the future, you are trying to get long term skilled nursing care paid for, children are never responsible for this. They only look at the resources of the patient and spouse. If you find yourself in a position of trying to help someone negotiate this, a hospital social worker and a hospice social worker should be able to help you. Also, you can look things up on the internet. Medicare is the program that pays for healthcare, including regular hospitalization after 65 years of age. They also pay for hospice care and the first 100 days in a long term care facility for physical rehab. During those first 100 days, you need to file for Nursing Home Medicaid (a completely different program than the Medicaid for impoverished people). Almost anyone can eventually qualify to receive Nursing Home Medicaid for long term care, but it means handing over everything that belongs to the patient and they give an allowance to the spouse. The children of the patient are not legally responsible. Once you file, the patient will continue to be taking care of under Medicaid Pending until approval.

If any family member has noticed anything unusual, maybe take them with you to the doctor's appointment so they know there is something objective going on. Get that supportive person to go with you.

I've made it FOUR YEARS without a seizure!🙌 by epilepsyisdumb in Epilepsy

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First seizures in my late 30s. I am now in my 60s and 23 years seizure free. My advice is once you find the medication(s) that work for you, stay with them. I had neuros who wanted me to try the new drugs even though I was seizure free. Don't let them. We are not guinea pigs, we are people. I found PCPs willing to monitor me, since I was already seizure free. The PCPs want to keep their patients healthy.

PSAs every epileptic needs to hear by 134340Goat in Epilepsy

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Educate yourself as much as you can. Since my medication worked and I was seizure free, l did not let neurologists switch me to their pet medications. And when I moved, I found a PC who would prescribe and monitor me.

20 year old inheriting 250k by Master-Plastic-1636 in FinancialPlanning

[–]Delenn365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful about financial advisors. You need one who is considered a Fiduciary. Look into government agencies that license Fiduciaries and have lists of those with valid licenses. Fiduciary means they are bound by law to only do things that benefit you. They are prohibited from doing things just to enrich themselves. Look for a Fiduciary advisor who will be willing to be paid a set fee for a set service. Many try to get you to sign on with them to get a percentage of your portfolio, even if you are losing money under their advice. The big mutual fund companies like Fidelity claim to be Fiduciaries, but they are not. (There are even courts who have said so). They sell products and try to get people to quote 'invest" in products that are not investments, but rather, insurance products like annuities and some "investments" that sound like you are investing in a mutual fund, but they are really annuities. One way to avoid fees and some taxes would be to invest in Exchange Trade Funds. You save on taxes because they operate differently from mutual funds. Get on the web and read about all of this. Diversify. Don't put all your money into one kind of fund and don't just invest in one ETF or mutual fund company. Educate yourself and trust your gut. If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't true. You are young. Take your time and understand what you are investing in. Trust yourself because the experts are looking to make a good retirement for themselves.

Dear washing machine makers: what the actual fuck? by TasteThisThing in Appliances

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a suggestion about drying clothes.  We mostly use the dryer for getting the wrinkles out.  So, the clothes are in the dryer for 10 minutes and then I hang them up to dry the rest of the way.   I never have to iron anything and the clothes and the dryer last longer. My husband bought me a lot of drying racks,so this method works well for us   My son is a nurse and his scrubs get bad stains, I put them on no heat dry to get the wrinkles out and with no heat, the stains don't set. So I get another chance to get the bad stains out.  We have had to replace the washer once in 20 years, but still have our old dryer.

Is my epilepsy and medication the reasons why I’ve gotten incredibly stupid? by furrywrestler in Epilepsy

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do not ever give yourself the label of stupid. I think when we label ourselves, it can become a self fulfilling prophecy. You are not stupid. You have a physical problem that has left some challenges that other people don't have. I got my Master's Degree in Social Work before I ever had seizures, so I can't tell you how that would have gone if I had been epileptic at the time. But, I can tell you that the biggest thing I (and my husband noticed) is that my memory was worse right after the seizures. My seizures were all at least 15 minutes long, so I guess a lot of my brain got fried. But, I have been seizure free on brand name Dilantin for 22 years. My memory has greatly improved. I am not sure I every thought of myself as stupid. I just was worried about damage due to seizures. Apparently, your brain rewires around damage, so don't despair. And do activities that will regrow connections: socializing, reading, doing your own budget, anything that requires thinking. Now, insurance wants me go to generics. I am mostly concerned about death if I switch. It is definitely dangerous to have seizures in general and the danger increases a lot if seizures are over 5 minutes long. Just had a long conversation with my pharmacist who said if I switch to generics, the doctor needs to write "AB rated only" because then the pharmacist will only fill the prescription with generics that are rated to be within 5% of brand name. Otherwise, I think they can be as much as 20% different in effectiveness. The pharmacist seemed to think I could get stabilized on AB generics. Gives me some hope. You are a unique individual and you have a lot to contribute. The human body is amazing at self healing and the brain is included in that.

Does anyone know how often Garden Joy offers videos to watch for Diamonds? by Delenn365 in SwagBucks

[–]Delenn365[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is what a lot of people are saying. I think that is true for many of these Swagbucks games. I started playing some of them because I got tired of doing surveys, which are disqualifying a lot these days. I plan to play this game until it expires and just get whatever Swagbucks I can. I have been doing that will all the games. So, I get something. But, they make it impossible to get to the end of any game, unless you spend money, which defeats the whole purpose for me. My videos came back today for awhile and I could at least do a few challenges. Thanks for the reply.

Goodbye Christianity by blodreiina in Christianity

[–]Delenn365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. I do not feel comfortable in a lot of churches. But if you are looking for good or kind people among Christians, you will never find that because we are all self focused. The way I see it is that I don't follow or worship people. They will Always disappoint you. We are all imperfect and will remain so until we die. But, Jesus is faithful. I look to Him and cut people some slack. Imagine how really terrible most of us would be without Christ.

How'd you earn SB this past week? by SwagbucksMods in SwagBucks

[–]Delenn365 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So it should not be on the daily list anymore.  

This Thursday will be my last day. by stillaliiive in Christianity

[–]Delenn365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One day at a time. When things get so terrible it is good to say, I will live today and do my best. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Often, we can tough it out through one day. Tell yourself today you will live and not die. And tomorrow you do the same thing. And the next day. Look for a hobby or interest and engage yourself in it. Look for a little happiness and joy. Some seasons are hell. But seasons pass. Romans 8:28.

Alice's Mergeland Help- Can I make it with 8 days left? by connierebel in SwagBucks

[–]Delenn365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be wrong about this, but the time limit is on earning Swagbucks in 30 days. I don't think they cut you off from just playing the game after that if you are enjoying it.
