Dominican barber shops near me

I’ve been stalking this reddit for awhile, I’ve finally decided to jump in and grab an entry level MTB, went with the trek marlin 5, did a 23 mile ride my first day out, besides a sore butt it went great! Excited to get into more technical trails near me.

I'm going to state it exactly as I feel it. As the title suggests, I'm exhausted because of my lifestyle. I'm a master's student doing a lot of things on the side, along with my main studies, I won't tire you or try to brag about anything. That's not the point of the sub. I have a relationship of 2 years, back then I didn't have nearly as many responsibilities. Things are moving fast and as harsh as it sounds I think my loved one is holding me back from my bigger purpose. Although I feel like that bigger purpose involves her, I'm afraid at the same time she is holding me back. I just question if this relationship is worth continuing or I'd be better off cutting ties. I love her, I really do, if I didn't I wouldn't be writing this and thinking about it so hard, but at the same time, if anything has to go, maybe I'd be better if that was it. What's everyone's opinion on my matter? Thank you everyone for your time.

Some websites stopped giving that tracking info and it surely made online shopping less fun for me. Also if the delivery takes too long I just forget I ordered anything at all. 1 new shopping app is giving that info again and it's making me excited again. Is it just me?

I need to get this hurt, anger and pain out. I'm destroying my new relationship because I'm so traumatised.
It has been nearly 8 years since I fount out, and I've still not fully healed. I listened to a podcast earlier who mentioned how you should speak out about it to be able to heal so here I am...
I'd also appreciate anyone who has been through this to tell me what you did to help to heal.
I met my ex husband when I was 20 he was 26, first red flag was the age gap but being 20 I didn't think it was a big deal, next red flag that I thought was a compliment was when I asked why he liked me he said, "you look so cute and innocent" wasn't until I got older and everything came out how I remembered that comment and was shocked at how naive I was.
You hear alot of people who have never been in abusive relationship say "why did't you just leave them sooner" their not like this from the get go! If they were then yes people would leave, but their charming, loving, it's all a big act, they then wait until they know you've started to fall inlove with them then slowly manipulate you and gaslight you, then when you pull away they love bomb you again, so you learn to second guess yourself, believe them that you're the crazy not them.
My ex (lets call him J) was very manipulative, a smooth talker, an alcholic and constantly cheated on me, then when I found out he cheated it was always "get over it" "stop nagging me". I didn't know back then that I had ADHD and RSD (Rejection sensitivity disorder) back when I was little you were told only boys had ADHD, I was just told I'd always have a mental age of a teenager because girls didn't have ADHD. So now looking back I realise why I missed all the red flags, why I put up with the cheating, why the rejection made me run towards him and why I stayed so long.
He then had this friend (will call him C) visit who I had never met before, J mentioned how other's would bully C so me being me opened my home to him, I felt sorry for him, C told me how he was apparently special needs (looking back I think this was a cover up). The first time he travelled to come stay with us he seemed okay at first, a little odd but I didn't think much of it until his friend accused me of being attracted to him because "I was nice to him" I said "I am nice to everyone, doesn't mean I'm attracted to anyone?!" I was shocked but put it down to him being special needs, maybe he didn't quite understand. He then kept giving me the look throughout his stay and I felt so uncomfortable he looked at me like I was an object to be had. The odd thing was my ex would tell me how much he couldn't stand the guy, his friends our family would ask why does he hang out with him and he'd never have a good answer to why (later it makes sense).
I then had a young family member come over (I want to protect this kids incolved so I'm saying family member) staying over again this comment didn't add up until after it all came out. J was on the phone to C and put him on liyd speaker as J and my young family member were play fighting, I then said to the little family member "get your butt out of J's face" as a joke because the way they were play fighting he was climbing over J. C obviously hears and said "but J would love that" straight away I was like wtf?! I was totally confused. My ex looking shocked at me and then shortly after he got off the phone with C. I told J how much I didn't like his friend, usually I'd never tell someone to stop being friends with someone but I just kept getting a bad vibe from him plus he kept telling me how much he couldn't stand him himself. Then J decided to tell me the night before that C was coming over to stay the following day for a week (I think it was), I begged him not to let him, reminded him how he kepts saying inappropriate things to me, C even asked J "what would you do if I made out with your wife?" J said "I'd punch you" C then said "why it would be HER fault". That was the final straw for me and I wanted nothing to do with him, I then thought he made up this special needs card to get away with his disgusting behaviour. But then J tells me C will be coming back over to stay, I was told this the night before. I cried and begged J not to let him stay, he wouldn't listen, I had nowhere else to go or money to even stay elsewhere or any friends. I begged J to atleast make sure he was home after work before he arrived to which he agreed (stupidly I believed that, I am also on the autism spectrum again didn't know, everything is very black and white and I always expected others to be the same as I knew no different) C arrives and J is nowhere to be seen, I'm ringing and texting him constantly and I'm being ignored. J finally arrives home drunk. For the next few days is where I constantly get SA by C infront of J I keep shouting at C to stop rubbing himself up against me, stop staring at me like I'm a peice of meat, stop towering over me, stop refusing to move out of doorways in my own home so I have no choice but to squeeze past, stop touching me inappropriately (I didn't realise any of this was SA until later as I thought I was being over dramatic as by ex would constantly tell me I was when I fount out he cheated once again so having thay drummed into your head does make you second guess yourself alot) I begged my ex to help me to his response was "come on mate just stop" he didn't even sound bothered, there was no stern voice and C continued constantly. I truely believe if J wasn't there C would have eventually [email protected] me, each night I would push a chair between the door and our bed just incase. I was completely destroyed, I had depression before and bad anxiety because of my ex and undiagnosed ADHD and RSD that I had no idea about. This was when I finally learnt to hate my ex and preparing myself to leave him.
When C went out with J I decided I would snoop on C's ipad (I know I shouldn't have but I had this gut feeling he wasn'ta good person) I found a bunch of emails to police from him harassing his ex wife (later on found out he [email protected] her and had a police report against him I think he got away with this but I'mnot sure). I also found pre-teen prn I have no idea if it was legal or what but they looked like kids, I was shaking, felt sick and crying and couldn't look, I flipped my sht. I finally stood up for myself (I think it was the fact I felt protective over what looked like children, I no longer cared about myself but only them) I packed C's things, told J what I found and that C isn't staying and put his bag outside, C begged J to stay and I rang the police and reported it, it was then I told the operator everything from the p*rn to him groping me and saying inappropriate things to me, she then said she'd have an officer come over from (I think she called it) [email protected] and SA department. In my head I was like wtf is going on how on earth has that anything to do with the video's I saw on his history?! Wasn't until the officer sat me down said someone else had gone forward about him and exsplained what I said gone through was SA, I felt so stupid, I felt like what she said wasn't real that I was just being over dramatic and she was wrong.
I did try to leave J after this had happened, then he did an overdose and I was guilt tripped into staying with him, he then later on laughed and said he had googled first to make sure the pills he took wouldn't actually hurt him. A couple months later when I completely checked out emotionally I tried to leave again and he said he'd OD again if I left (this was after I found out he was cheating) so I stayed, I didn't want someone else's blood on my hands. Then finally 6 months of from the first OD I finally walked away!
I self healed, worked hard on myself learnt to love myself and fount an amazing partner who is so caring and loving and helped me heal deeper. I was about 1 year into my new relationshie when a very brave family member of mine came out about how J had been touching them since she could remember (so a toddler up until pre-teens) also turned out she wasn't the only one but also her friend. Alot of the weekends I'd have the girls come over for sleepovers, we'd watch movies, bake, crafts, play games, go out on day trips etc. I was really close to them and her friend decided to call me her second mum. But I had no idea, nobody had any idea, I said I'd do all I could to help them with their case, there was very little evidence but not enough to pin him for what he did, he got pulled in for questioning but that was.
Some of my family needed therapy, I needed therapy. It completely and utterly distroyed me, I was so angry at myself for not noticing, I remember reading this kind of stuff or seeing it in the news thinking how the heck do you not notice this? I held so much guilt even though both the girls said they never blaimed me and my family never blaimed me, but I still blaimed me. I had intrusive thoughts on how I must be a pedophile too or how else didn't I notice anything was going on under my own roof, I wanted to end my life. I felt sick with myself for sleeping with a pedophile and I felt so dirty. I was angry how he got away with it all, how the evidence given wasn't enough! How those poor girls had to relive it all. Angry how he distroyed two kid's childhoods and my family and he gets to walk away like nothing happened.
A few years ago a family member saw he was engaged and messaged J's new partner to warn her, unfortunately their still together as far as I know. I know all to well how manipulative he can be so I partly get why she has stayed. I did find huge peice in that she was atleast warned so (hopefully not) if any more children come forward she'll remember that message that was once sent to her and not try to protect him. I sometimes think to myself I bet she's so kind and loving like I was, always thought the best of people, because that's the type of people who end up in these bad situations, we get taken advantage of they see our kindess and we're easy to manipulate.
It made total sense now why he was friends with C as just before I left J I snooped on his phone and also saw pre-teen p*rn on his phone, it was on PH he kept telling me how it was an add and I was crazy even though it clearly was a video half watched then the second guessing myself rolled in. But I truely believe C knew J was a pedophile hence the comment about my nephew and J knew C was hence why he wouldn't drop his as a friend.
My now partner has been incredible, listened to how I was feeling, didn't once judge me or my intrusive thoughts and picked up all the peices. I was now battling from the SA then this ontop, it took me about 2 years to finally agree I needed therapy. I felt better for a little while but then the panic attacks came more regularly, the constant running around my head repeating what happened, had mentally blocked and partly forgotten alot of things then memories would come back. Then finding out I have ADHD was a shock that I'm still trying to deal with. I don't feel the therapy helped all that much, it did make me see that I was nothing like the moster he was, I would never ever do anything to a child, it was never my fault, I never made J do those things, I never asked C to do those things to me, I didn't lead him on, I didn't have to blame myself for being too nice anymore. But that's all I got out of therapy.
I feel I do better to self heal alone. It has been long enough now that I have suffered for things others have done. I am distroying myself and my good relationship because I keep snapping and I'm filled with such anger and pain, I am now here to try move on and change that. I deserve to be happy and free from this. I am partly worried sick about posting this, as I have such bad anxiety but I know I need to talk about it and get it off my chest and I know this platform has helped me alot in the past and I use my own trauma to help others. Not enough people talk about being on the other side of this as fear of judgment but we didn't do anything wrong here! They did!
If you read this far thank you! I hope that this may help someone not feel so alone now.
How did you overcome the anger? Did talking about it help? I feel the trauma has made my ADHD symptoms much worse which I know can happen after trauma. My anxiety is awful I constantly. I want to heal enough is enough they get to walk free and ruin other people's lives, whilst I suffer still. I would never do anything to hurt someone I don't deserve this.

I really like bows and arrows but in most games I've played they either aren't present or are made completely irrelevant by guns.
As for games I've played, I played the first horizon zero dawn but wasn't really into it. Nothing about the gameplay really clicked for me. Played both the most recent Zelda games, and the bow was more of a utility than a primary weapon. Played RDR2 and never found any reason to use it past the smallest game, despite really wanting to like it. Risk of Rain 2's huntress has a bow and although it doesn't feel a whole lot different from any other gun in the game, her mobility makes me feel like a nimble archer, which makes up for it a lot. Splatoon 3's bows didn't do a lot to win me over. Might give it another shot soon.
Weirdly, the best bow I've ever had was in Dying Light. The ranger bow was everything I wanted in a bow. It's in its own league, rivaling guns due to the sound and ammo pool, I can recollect my arrows, I can control the draw speed and distance, and it's overall just so cathartic to use. I think I could marry it.
Since bows are nowhere near as often represented as guns or swords, I thought I'd ask you. I'm aware Skyrim has one, but I try to avoid Bethesda games. I heard Destiny has some, but I'd rather not sink that much time into it.
Many thanks in advance, and apologies if I've eliminated all the good options already lol

I’ve been undergoing microbotox treatments for the last 2 years and am very happy with the results. It’s difficult to put a precise number on it but I’d say flushing severity is down at least 80%. This varies somewhat as my doctor and I have been making slight adjustments to the frequency of treatments and I missed a couple of treatments during COVID lockdowns. But after 2 years we’ve determined that treatments every 4-5 months will essentially keep flushing episodes in check.
A bit about my background. Id say I have a transient form of rosacea. There is a light redness always in my cheeks and this varies depending on a bunch of variables. But on top of this I get severe flushing episodes from: alcohol, spicy food, prolonged exposure to hot or cold weather, being in hot rooms in winter, emotional factors especially stress, hot showers and intense exercise.
Importantly, the purpose of microbotox has been to manage flushing episodes, not background redness. The microbotox may have helped with background redness but the efficacy outlined above refers to flushing episodes only.
I am the first and only of my doctor’s patients undergoing microbotox for flushing. I approached him after I read a few of studies online, which I shared with him, and he was happy to perform the procedure for me.
There are risks from microbotox which you should look into although I will say that my doctor views the cheek as a relatively low risk facial area compared with say areas near the eyes or mouth. Regardless it is the practice’s policy to monitor facial changes closely and I am photographed before each session from multiple angles with various facial expressions. After 2 years and multiple treatments neither of us (or any of my friends or family) have noticed any side effects.
The treatment is 10 units of Xeomin in both cheeks (20 units total). He injects by hand, but there is also a gun they can use, he just personally prefers doing it manually. It takes about 15 minutes in total for the 20 injections. He applies ice prior to injection as a mild numbing agent but he also offers a numbing gel which can be applied some time before the procedure. The pain level varies across the face, some you don’t even notice and others you do feel a little prick or pinching sensation (I find near the nose is the most sensitive).
The cost is 380 AUD per treatment.
One important thing to note is that for me at least the treatment did take a long time to take effect. I’d say over a month, maybe a month and a half. But if i stay on top of my treatments after this (2-3 a year for me) then the Botox is effective year round.
This may not work for all of you, but after 2 years of ongoing treatment I am almost certain that this is not a placebo effect. This really has to a large degree eliminated facial flushing from my life.
Happy to answer any questions.
I’m based in Melbourne. PM me if you’d like to contact my doctor.

Long post ahead.
It goes without saying how Lord of the Lost’s support the LGBTQ+ community, stay generally open-minded and seem to be super wholesome people. And we need more of this in metal/alternative community, we REALLY do.
Still, I felt such dissonance when one of the guest artists on their latest album was the frontman of Combichrist, Andy LaPlegua. For those unfamiliar: this is the very same band with songs as “lovely” as Shut Up and Swallow, You Will Be the Bitch Now, Give Head If You Got It and Throat Full of Glass, to name a few. You can probably imagine what their music videos are like. Now I know one could say this is just being “edgy”, but when most of your songs focus around the topic of violence against a certain group of people (mostly women) then sir, you have a problem. The fact that Joe Letz used to be part of Combichrist doesn’t help either (he’s being brought up in many statements of fans who have been drugged and/or abused at Rammstein shows, to bring up his most recent shitty/downright abusive behaviour).
Another collaboration probably isn’t nearly as important, but one of the artists who remixed Blood & Glitter is Faderhead (who's also remixed a track off Die Kreatur album, a project of Chris and OOMPH!‘s Dero Goi). From what I saw, he’s also from Hamburg (so this could be a matter of collaboration between the Hamburg artists), which might explain why it was him remixing one of the tracks. Now this wouldn’t be anything weird if it wasn’t for this music video of Faderhead which is basically taking place in a video game where the main player eliminates drag queens (Fistful of F You is the title if anyone's curious). If we want to go into more details, Hocico from the Spanish version of La Bomba seem just as nice with their song Ladykiller (Don't Rape The Dead Girl), or other tracks from an album Hate Never Dies. Charming.
Yes, I’m aware that LOTL have worked with many other artists who are nowhere near shady (thank Goth). I’m also well aware of the many ways of artistic expression and the whole “shock factor” of alternative music. This is nothing new and, to many fans, nothing alarming, but it made me wonder if anyone else felt dissonant about it too. There are so many ways of artistic expression which doesn't involve objectifying/showing violence towards minorities - LOTL get that, these artists with whom they collaborated don't really seem to think the same way.
That’s it. Feel free to hate me after reading (you won’t be the first ones to hate me anyway). I do enjoy LOTL’s music a lot and admire their support for the queer community. I’m just one of those people who do their research when discovering a band.

I just found this messed up mail in my postbox, and I haven't slept at all since I read it. The stuff written in there is so confusing and honestly, pretty damn scary. I thought maybe you guys could help me figure out what the hell is going on. I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post it, but I gotta do something, right? I'm seriously considering whether I should contact the police over this.
So anyway, here's the deal: I got this mail from a guy I barely even know. Sure, we've played some Call of Duty together occasionally, but he's more of an acquaintance than a friend. He's known among my circle, but honestly, no one is really close to him. He's kinda... odd. Like, I think he's maybe on the spectrum or something - autistic or schizoid, I'm not sure. He's just uncomfortable to be around, y'know? Doesn't talk much, keeps to himself a lot. That's why I was so surprised to find this mail from him. Anyway, I'll attach the mail below. Let me know what you guys think.
---

1. Everyone disappeared. It's been days since I've seen anyone. A few days ago, I woke up and it was like everyone had just... poof... gone. I live downtown and there was no one on the streets. Not a car, not a dog, nothing. It was like a ghost town. I was just trying to hit up the grocery store, but when I got there, it was totally empty. My first thought was - sweet, free food. But when I tried to get in, it was like there was an invisible wall or something. Freaked me out big time. Sent me into a panic.

So, I bolted back home, popped some antipsychotics to chill out. Had a little drink, smoked some weed - just the usual. Then I thought I'd get lost in some Call of Duty. The game was working fine, even the multiplayer. But there was no chat, no voices. Just weird mumbling and some freaky symbols instead of words. It was as if every single person had just vanished, and language had gone MIA too.

1. So yeah, here I am, surviving in my own little bubble. Nothing's really changed, I guess. I still can't bring myself to raid the grocery store, but I've got some random junk food and sodas in the house to keep me going. No idea how long that's gonna last though. I'm just trying to get by, playing video games. It's freakin' weird that the world's still turning without people.

And now, I'm starting to remember. You're not here, but I know we did something that night. We were in this together, you and me. I can't remember it all, not clearly, because of all the crap I was on. But now, when I think about that resistance, I remember that it was always there. Before humanity vanished, you were there. You tried to help me. But now you're gone. Where are you? Come back. You have to come back.

1. Now I remember. I remember your name. Levy. It's the name I gave you, Levy. And the memories are flooding back. I was on the dark web, a few months ago I think, and I found this website. It was chock-full of so-called 'forbidden knowledge' and your typical conspiracy theory garbage. Stuff about the FBI or CIA covering up about aliens, the US government using mind control, all that crap. I thought it was just a bunch of nonsense, but then I saw this one ritual. It promised to grant any wish.

I mean, I was pretty messed up, so I thought, why not? It's gotta be better than therapy. I'd dropped out of therapy, it just wasn't doing it for me. It was adding more resistance to my life and I didn't want that. So, I figured I'd give this ritual a shot. It was about creating a tulpa, which is supposed to be like a copy of yourself from another dimension or something. I didn't really get it, it was all so much mumbo jumbo, but the gist was that you could summon these tulpas by believing in them, and through some quantum particle whatever, it would open a rift to another dimension.
I don't know how it worked, but I followed the steps. It was all really weird stuff, like buying certain items from various stores, and then standing in front of a mirror in your bathroom at 3 a.m. You had to light a candle, turn off all the lights and all the electronics in the house, and then say some incantations while visualizing the tulpa.
And it worked. I saw it crawl out of the mirror. The mirror shattered, and it was bleeding from its eyes. It was you, a monster from another dimension, a Lovecraftian horror, a leviathan. You were my creation, and I named you Levy.
Since then, we've been together. And eventually, you granted my wish. But now you're gone. You fulfilled my wish, but that made you disappear. And now I'm alone. I'm alone. What do I do now?

1. I tried to go outside again but it's impossible. I can't get past this resistance that's everywhere. It's like I'm being watched by a billion invisible eyes, like there's some invisible hand holding me back. It's always the invisible. It's this resistance I can't overcome. I can't leave the house.

Everywhere I look there's resistance. I even stopped playing video games, I can see the resistance in the chats, I hear it in the voice calls. Even though it's just mumbling, it's nonsense, it's still language. Even though it's obfuscated, it's there. Just the fact that it's there... the resistance is there. I can't fucking stand it.
I've been taking antipsychotics and other stuff, I'm trying to escape, but I don't think I can take this for much longer.

1. Now that everyone's gone, can I even call myself human? When I go outside, I walk around like something that could never have been known as human, a thing whose shape is so alien that humanity seems more obscene because of the vague resemblance.

I'm nothing. I'm not human anymore. I've always wanted to leave society but what is a society but an individual? What am I? I am nothing. The eyes are all dead but at the same time they're still there. Levy, you granted my wish. I wanted nothing more than to erase humanity, and you gave that to me. But I also left humanity behind because I just couldn't stand it anymore. The panic, the fear, the judgment, the pain, the betrayal... It was too much. I had to leave it all behind. But I'm wondering, did I actually leave anything behind?

1. Now I'm going to keep writing this manifesto just to piss people off. To tell a kind of truth that I think is valid. It will make me feel more and more like a writer, an important writer. And I really think I am one. I mean it. I don't doubt it for a second. Damn it, stop laughing at me, stop judging me, stop all this resistance.
   
2. Today, I had an encounter. I went outside again. I wanted to go grocery shopping, but the panic fucking stopped me. I bolted outside, and on my way back home in an alleyway, I ran into another one of those resistances. This time, though, I had brought my knife with me. I fought it off, I stabbed it once, and the knife actually sunk into the invisible barrier. I stabbed it twice, thrice... I stabbed it over and over and over again. I lost count. Even when the resistance fell to the floor, I knelt down and kept stabbing. I killed the resistance, erased the resistance, cleansed the resistance. Then, I ran home. My knife was full of blood, my hands were covered in it. I didn't even think that the resistance could bleed. How could something invisible bleed? But for a moment, I felt... finally quiet. Finally, finally, finally. Salvation.
   
3. Hate, let me tell you how much I've come to hate humanity since I was a kid. There are 86 billion neurons in my head, connected by myriads of synapses in the human brain that fill my cranium. If the word HATE was engraved on each nanometer of those billions of neurons, it would not equal one one billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you, hate. Hate.
   
4. I am a great writer. Levy, what do you think? How do you like my writing? Isn't it poetic? I'm so poetic. I'm so smart and original, right? Am I? Am I? Am I? But humans couldn't possibly understand that. I am, I am an advanced creature. I have seen the truth, and the others, they're just fucking idiotic, aren't they? Aren't they, Levy? We're the only ones who know the truth, we're the only ones who know.
   

And now, now I'm so glad, you know. I'm so glad I bought those weapons. I bought even more weapons, even fully automatic weapons off the dark web. And I even have the materials to build bombs, and I know how to do it, and I will do it.

1. You know what, Levy? I have figured it out. I have figured out the correct path we should take. We should end this resistance once and for all. Hate. Hate. We have to cleanse the resistance, we have to cleanse it.

I am going to end it all. Cleanse the world of the resistance. I am preparing, and tomorrow, I will start with the grand cleansing. To bring the world back into its natural state. We will do this together, Levy. Once more, you will come out of the mirror, and then we will work together to end the resistance.

Okay, so that's the entire thing. Obviously, this guy is having some sort of psychotic break. I have no idea what the heck is going on. Obviously, there wasn't some large-scale disappearance unless I missed something? I don't know, he seems very disturbed. And what's that stuff about weapons and such? I genuinely feel very concerned. Should I call the police or, you know, what should I do? Anyway, thanks for any responses, guys. Take care.

Hello, hope you are having a great day,
I am Sal 41 Male who work in 3D art and game dev, despite my age and work, I am just another lonely guy who is looking for companionship, I have been spending a lot of time on my computer working and having fun, so I started getting worried that I am in a relationship with this computer haha.
I am kinda silly and quirky most of the time trying to make jokes that don't always land haha, so I hope you don't mind that, but I can talk about serious topics as well and be supportive and kind.
I have always been found of having someone online that to share my day with and talk about our problems daily lives and share our happy moments, so I had a lot of online friendships some lasts days .. months.. Or 20 years haha, yeah I am talking about you Allison.
About my hobbies and interests, usually nerdy stuff like coding, 3D art, making animation, watching anime, used to play a lot of games but not much anymore.
Plus some walking outside, I live in a beautiful small city called Istanbul that has nice places to walk near the sea and make friendship with lots of cats on the street.
I know that I may not click with many people, it is a matter of chemistry and energy, I don't often click with the people who just keep using short answers in their chat and never ask anything and keep making me carry the conversation alone, I have pet peeve with very short replies and just emojis without words hahaha.
So dm me anyway you have nothing to lose, I could be your new best friend.
And please say “Hiiiiii” so I would know that you had read my post to the end the more “i”s the better haha, and please tell me about yourself a bit, let's hope you have a discord, so please respect that and have a great day.

My laptop cracked. I do travel with it and it gets banged up. Also it was missing a screw near the hinge & power button. I replaced the screw, and I tried super gluing the surface of the crack. Every time I open the laptop, it puts pressure on the cracked surface and cracks again. Otherwise it still works. Is this fixable? It doesn't have to be pretty, just functional. Can I do it myself, or even pay a local shop? I haven't taken it apart yet, but I'm wondering if I can get the entire plastic casing separated and superglue a brace underneath the crack or something? or if there's a simpler solution idk.
