Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by TheMinions@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I’ve noticed my hair thinning and hairline receding since I was about 25 or so.

I’ve been using Collagen and Biotin “thickening” shampoo but never noticed any difference. My dad swears by some pills he started taking.

What’s Lemmy think? Is he just paying for pills that are placebo effect?

Why do radio stations all seem to go on commercial at the same time? (lemmy.world)

Might be a local thing, but in the US I feel like all the similar radio stations go on commercial break all at the same time. Is this just an iheartradio monopoly thing or is it some odd coincidence due to standard ad deals?

I Worked For MrBeast, He's A Sociopath by TheMinions in c/videos@lemmy.world
[-] TheMinions@lemmy.world 56 points 2 months ago

There’s a part 1 to this video that goes into it. Basically:

  • videos are faked (reality level TV stuff - making the timers look like they’re still counting down)
  • there was a person who was recently on staff who was a sexual deviant named Ava Kris Tyson who also seemed to be obsessed with teenagers and ran a discord server talking about inappropriate stuff (this is worse than my description sounds)
  • Beast was on this server for a time but doesn’t seem to have been an active participant
  • Illegal lotteries from the Streaming “giveaways”
  • claiming his chocolate is “healthy” and encourage kids to eat it to have a chance at randomly winning a prize
  • in Aus, having an app for the chocolate that says you win a prize when you pull the slots but you actually don’t win anything (basically getting triple 7s and getting told you win nothing)
  • safety issues with the beast games, moving to Canada so no union workers can join, etc.
  • this video explains some horrible stuff Mr Beast and team did for a single video

Really the biggest deal I think is the illegal lotteries. Because those are actual criminal acts

"Gluten Free" has officially gone too far. by TheMinions in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
[-] TheMinions@lemmy.world 59 points 4 months ago

I’m not sure why there is an issue here? My son has a gluten allergy and breaks out when he plays with play dough that isn’t gluten free.

Niche product, sure. But definitely a market.

[Guide] How to get the Bhaalist Armor on a good playthrough (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by TheMinions@lemmy.world to c/baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world

Spoilers for Act 3, by the way.

  1. Get to Act 3 and start the Murder Tribunal Quest.
  2. Separate your party to have the main thief be separated and invisible.
  3. you want this character’s sleight of hand to be buffed to the max, Smuggler’s Ring, Gloves of Power, Graceful Cloth/Enhance Ability (Dex), Guidance, Bardic Inspiration, Proficiency, Expertise, Shapeshifter’s Boon Ring, etc.
  4. Speak to the Bhaal Cultists and seek judgement from the Tribunal.
  5. Once the spirit is summoned (such as Dribbles the clown) you can move your invisible thief up to them and pickpocket them.

It is a DC 29 check, so going Rogue 10 for Reliable Talent and having +8 proficiency is only going to get you to 18. Smuggler’s Ring(+2), Guidance, Bardic Inspiration, Gloves of Absolute Power and Shapeshifter’s boon Ring give you a minimum of +1. Minimum total increase of +6, so we’re at 24 minimum now.

Graceful cloth gives another +1 Dex modifier, and you can max you Dex with ASI, giving you another +5.

In theory you don’t need all these items, as Reliable Talent gets you a minimum 30 with all these items.

Be warned, as after the thieving is done, combat will start.

New Player - what classes do you like to make everyone? [no spoilers] (lemmy.world)

What classes do you like to build for everyone?

I’m running my Tav as a Bard/Paladin/Wiz to mimic my favorite character I played from 5e a few years back.

Astarion is a Gloomstalker, Shadowheart is a Light Cleric, Gale is a Fighter 1/Wizard X, Wyll is a Draconic Fiend Sorlock, Laezel is a Red Draconic Sorcadin. I haven’t really used Minthara or Halsik much, but imagine they would stay single classed as Oathbreaker and Moon Druid.

The worst part of using Signal is to try and convince all your friends/family to use Signal. Otherwise it’s a pretty great messaging app. You can’t edit messages once they’re sent, but other than that it’s pretty great.
