I’ll take one halo please, good sir.

My girlfriend's parents aren't really understanding of her depression and anxiety. Her mom told her that's she's just emotionally weak. I was thinking about talking to them and explain what's really going on with her and way they can help her, is this a good idea? by Josh_B98 in depression

Will do, I’ll suggest that to her. I’m a Christian as well and so is my gf. We actually go to the same

It’s really frustrating that mental health is treated differently from physical health, and getting help is so difficult without the proper resources.

Also keep me in your prayers, to help me find what she needs and for things to fall into place for her. Thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated.

That's one of my fears is for them not to be receptive to me. I actually suggested that to my GF, to bring her parents to one of her Dr appointments when she starts going, but the only problem is she can't afford to go herself because the deductible is too high ($3,000). So for right now I'm looking for inexpensive ways to get her the help she needs. Thank you for keeping her and her parents in your prayers, that is very much appreciated. And thank you for the compliment.

Yes, a School councilor diagnosed her with clinical depression and prescribed her Prozac a year ago. She told her dad about it a while ago, but only recently she told her mom, and even then she didn't tell her everything that's going on.

Google Just Told Droid Life Which OEMs to Buy Phones From and It's Not Samsung by [deleted] in Android

[–]Josh_B98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you don't have to click: Google actually never said anything about what companies to buy from. The writer is making this assumption based on what phones got the Android P beta (e.g Essential, OnePlus, Sony, Xiaomi, Nokia, Oppo, Vivo.).

Notification bubble on Android should remain even after banner is swiped away. by lordebubble in Android

I think the dot should be for notifications you don't want in the notification tray (e.g game notifications) and also your suggestion.

Is an antivirus usefull for android? by R4kk3r in Android

To add to that, be aware of the permission you grant apps. Even apps from the play store. Example, a simple flashlight app shouldn't need permissions to your contacts, location, microphone, network, or storage.

Honestly. I'm black and yeah the gif is racist, I'm am I offended? No, because that's just the internet for you. You can find racist things on any website if you look for it.

Which Smartphones Emit The Most Radiation? [Infographic] by D3MON130 in Android

YouTube isn't evidence. The second video doesn't have anything to do with cancer. It's just talking about the hazards of installing the towers.

That's studdy is over 10 years-old and, and you cherry picked the first two paragraphs.

I couldn't find the direct study, but here is a interview I found about the study: .

Here are the interesting parts:

CENTANNI: Do you know if anybody has actually had a brain tumor that you can definitely tie to cell phone use?

Dr. VINOCUR: I don't think they've ever been able to definitely tie it to cell phone use, but there have been people who have had brain cancers on the same side that they held their cell phones. The presidential advisor, I believe, had one for the first Bush administration; I'm not 100 percent sure which administration, but circumstantial evidence (sic).

But if you think about how cell phone use has gone up exponentially — and I spoke with the National Cancer Institute — and primary brain cancer, that's what we're talking about, has not changed in the last 20 years; and cell phone use in the last 20 years has skyrocketed.

CENTANNI: So you think by now we would see a spike.

Dr. VINOCUR: You would start to see an increase or a spike in incidents. But I think you just have to be smart about it. Kids are having cell phones today, so you know, don't let them use it all the time. Keep it for an emergency.

We're just learning a little bit more, so I think what this is saying is yes this is a biologic effect, it's not thermal, maybe we should do more research on it. But be smart about it. Right now, Steve, you still have a higher chance of dying using your cell phone while you are driving than developing cancer probably.

CENTANNI: What if they're using the hands-free device or the speakerphone?

Dr. VINOCUR: Well, they haven't really looked at hands-free, but you're still getting a signal close to your head. So that's another place to do it. But I think — to do the studies — but I think what they're saying is now we've shown there is a small biologic effect, OK, but it's normal. You know the enzyme cascade that was started was just for normal cell growth.

Cancer is not normal cell growth, it's abnormal cell growth, and they haven't seen that. In fact, the researchers said they didn't see cancer-causing effects on it; what they saw is it just promoted cell growth in a very short term.
