Seriously, this is a wonderful thing to do. Teeth are so important and so fragile. I can imagine a lot of soldiers have damaged teeth, or have dental issues from not being able to properly keep up with hygiene in the field. What a wonderful person.

“I was always puzzled by the fact that people have a great deal of trouble and pain when and if they are forced or feel forced to change a belief or circumstance which they hold dear. I found what I believe is the answer when I read that a Canadian neurosurgeon discovered some truths about the human mind which revealed the intensity of this problem. He conducted some experiments which proved that when a person is forced to change a basic belief or viewpoint, the brain undergoes a series of nervous sensations equivalent to the most agonizing torture.”

I saved this quote years ago, I don’t remember the source, but your post reminded me of it.

What a beautiful story, thank you for posting it.

Elaborate?

I am sorry that your work has been ruined. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in, these instances are what makes lemmy a unique place to be. I hope in the future when lemmy has grown up a bit there will be tools so people like you with a passion for creating a community can do so without this sort of strife. <3

I have had three moles removed from my face by a regular gp here in Australia. Not a plastic surgeon, just a good gp I trust.

They have all healed beautifully, with invisible scarring.

I tend to keloid on my arms and trunk, so I was very careful with healing. As soon as the stitches came out I put silicone tape over it and kept it taped over a few months.

If it started to feel itchy (a sign of keiloid forming) I would apply a steroid cream.

During the day when I was out and about I used skin coloured silicone scar tape cut to fit, these tapes are very expensive though.

When I was at home or sleeping I used “Fixomul Sensitive” which uses a silicone adhesive and is very inexpensive for a whole roll.

Once they had healed enough that they were flat and white (not the pink or red of a healing scar) I stopped with the tape and was very careful to apply good sunscreen for the rest of a year.

You cannot tell I had anything done, at all.

Be careful with healing and you will be fine! <3

Agree, he’s really cute!

My family all have Samsung phones, I guess because we like to stick with what we know. That said, this has never happened to us. I suspect it is a carrier thing, we purchase our phones outright from Samsung or an electronics store, not from the phone carrier on a plan. We are also in Australia, which may have an effect.

I found a massive table of all the lemmy instances that allowed me to sort by features that were important to me. Does the community allow up/down voting, does it allow NSFW, does it allow porn? How many communities has it defederated with?

lemmy.world ticked all the boxes that were important to me.
