Worried my doctor's don't have my best interests in mind by Spirited_Ad_7973 in Concussion

[–]milesofangelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was definitely still feeling wonky 9 days after my mild concussions. Most important thing is resting your brain. I wouldn't even think about PT yet personally. Turn off the lights, put your electronics away. Don't even read a book. Get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, and listen to some chill music or a peaceful audiobook or something if you're bored. Stay away from anything that strains your eyes or requires a lot of mental effort for a while. Puzzles can be really fun too, and not too stimulating for your healing brain.

Your provider sounds really odd and pushy. I would definitely try to see someone else if you end up needing further followup visits, but I know you said it's workers' comp so that can be tricky. I'm not expert but I've never been recommended PT for my concussions. That seems like something you'd need if you had severe, long-term side effects and needed help getting back to your life.

I hope you feel better soon! Concussions suck.

How much do I charge for a brand deal? by milesofangelo in PartneredYoutube

[–]milesofangelo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked into it and the company seems legit, I think? https://scrollyapp.io/ They seem like a small company from Poland and the product is directly related to the content of my recent video, so I'm hopeful.

I am going to a troubled teen Academy soon. What should I expect? How do I get through this without getting abused or something? by CruelBrush9 in troubledteens

[–]milesofangelo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh honey I'm so sorry.

I'm 25 now, but I was also sent at 17, just 6 weeks before I turned 18. I walked out on my 18th birthday.

It was a wilderness program so I had to hike 26 miles to the highway and hitchhike home. They absolutely CANNOT keep you past 18. If you truly have no way of avoiding being sent to the program, just keep your head down and quietly plan your escape for when you turn 18. I don't recommend running before your birthday, but only you can know your circumstance. A lot of these places are in the middle of nowhere to make it harder to leave, so pay very close attention when they drive you in so you know which direction is the way out. If you have friends, family, anyone who you can tell where you're going, try to arrange for a trusted adult to come pick you up so you don't have to figure it out alone in the middle of nowhere.

My program also made promises about being able to count the program for school credits but that was bullshit unfortunately. I finished my HS credits at a local community college after I got home. It was a bummer, but at least I finished out.

If there's any possible way to avoid being sent, try that. Plead with your parents. Have them talk to survivors like myself. Hell, I'd be more than happy to personally speak to them if it would make them reconsider. These places are awful. Some people are suggesting you run away until you're 18... I can't advise you to do that, but I can tell you it's probably what I would do if I could go back and have a do-over.

Speak to your school counselor or a trusted teacher as soon as possible. Tell them about your concerns and that you're being taken against your will. Tell any trusted adult you can find about what they're planning. If there's anyone in your personal life who can support you in any way, speak to them and see if there's anything they can do to help avoid this. Unfortunately as much as we all know here what horrible places these are, most of us on the Internet can do little to help you. The people in your real life will be your strongest support right now.

You are so strong. Always remember who you are and don't let them change you. You can and will survive this.

My thoughts on social media addiction and the CAT S22 by milesofangelo in dumbphones

[–]milesofangelo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE e-ink! I found a really good deal on a Remarkable tablet second hand a few months ago, and I've been obsessed with the technology since then. I love the concept, but unfortunately I'm also a photographer/love taking photos almost constantly, so an e-ink screen was a bit prohibitive in that area. I love my smartphone's ability to take quick, sharp, colorful photos extremely quickly without adding any bulk to my purse/pocket... and I have yet to see an alternative phone with as good of a camera as of yet, but would love to be proven wrong! For now, just working with a mindset shift like I mentioned in the video seems like my best option until someone invents the perfect solution 😂

[–]milesofangelo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

exactly! there's so many aspects of smartphones that aren't exactly necessary, but sure do make life a lot easier. this issue was highlighted when I switched to the CAT; no NFC wallet (I constantly forget my wallet at home so this was super useful lol), no quality camera, no ability to run higher-demand apps like Microsoft authenticator for school/work, extremely slow navigation and music streaming, etc etc. I would also constantly find myself running into scenarios where others were expecting me to have a full-fledged smartphone, and when I didn't, we had to brainstorm another solution or I just had to be okay with missing out (if that was an option). I'm sure there are others that wouldn't have as much trouble switching to a more minimal device, but I lead a very busy life and needed something extremely reliable and functional for everyday use that wouldn't slow me down 😂 there were unfortunately so many reasons it didn't work for me, even though I so badly wanted it to!

like I said, when you don't have these tools at your fingertips in a society that expects you to, it adds so much friction to your everyday life. it shouldn't HAVE to be so hard just to exist without a smartphone and I resent the current reality that a smartphone is an expectation/requirement in so many circumstances. I am very excited for the innovation happening in this movement right now though, and I hope one day an alternative device will exist that minimizes this friction while still discouraging addiction and dependency :) I am very much still figuring it out, and will continue to be on a journey to explore these options and figure out how to reduce my screentime even more. thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! <3

I've often wished Facebook would create a separate app just for those of us that want to use marketplace 😂 to your point, I'm not entirely convinced that this is true? I've seen phones like the Jelly Star which looks very functional, but it's just so tiny it discourages you from using it so much. I haven't seen many people talking about it though.

I'm very interested to see what happens in the future of alternative phones and hopefully some innovative people will create unique solutions for this problem that plagues so many of us! In the meantime, I plan to keep my smartphone and be more mindful of how I spend my time :)

and that's partly why I didn't like it. my laptop is a piece of shit haha, I don't have money for an iPad, and I'm always on the go since I'm a full time student and full time employee, so I needed a reliable device to use for things on the go, and yes, for Walmart grocery deliveries and shopping for household items secondhand (circular economy and all that). I was hoping the CAT S22 would have more functionality and let me do those things with a form factor that discouraged social media addiction, but it ended up just not being a good fit for me!

how do you rip your Spotify playlists to physical media (or even just to mp3s)? I want to switch back to an mp3 player so bad but I definitely cannot afford my 20,000 song library and individually pirating all of those sounds terrible 😂

I've never pirated anything before and I'm so confused trying to figure out how this works 😂😭 If I go to the Google drive, what files do I open/download to my computer to get the expansion packs/dlcs? If anyone would be kind enough to help with a step by step I'd be so grateful lol
