Scheduled AMA

13 hours ago

IamA Former Video Game Addict and Therapist who helps Gamers, Young Men, and Parents Improve Mental Health and Find Balance around Technology. I'm here to Answer Your Questions about Men’s Mental Health, Technology, and Parenting around Technology. AMA!

EDIT: In the spirit of balance, after a few hours of answering, I'm taking a break to go walk. I will answer any highly voted questions when I return. If I missed your question, please do subscribe to my youtube and tune into stream to ask. First stream will take place this Tuesday at 5:00 PM MST.

Hey there Reddit!

My name is Adam Holman, LCSW. I've been specializing in treatment of video game/technology addictions for the last 7-years. I recently wrote a guide for parents to learn how to set boundaries to learn to work WITH their teenagers and parent better around gaming. In addition, I’m launching a new community called MEN.tal Health where the current generation of young men can learn to better understand their minds, improve their mental health, connect with others, and create healthy relationships (I’ll be going further in depth answering the most popular questions and any other viewer questions in our youtube stream on Tuesday, 6/27@5:00 PM MST, find the link to the channel below).

I'm here to answer your questions about mental health, the challenges of young men in the digital age, technology/gaming, and parenting around technology/gaming.

About me:

I started doing this work because my own mental health had been miserable for the majority of my life, and gaming was the only solution I had to relieve me from that. My well-intended parents tried to convince me I had a problem with gaming throughout the entirety of my teenage years, however this pushed me further into my gaming habits. I ended up failing and dropping out of my entire first two years of college before eventually getting kicked out of university. To make a very long story incredibly short, I was able to turn things around and find balance, eventually obtaining my Master's Degree in Social Work with a focus on Mental Health from UW-Madison.

The MEN.tal Health Community is officially launching this week. I will be answering viewer questions regularly and releasing content to help the digital generation of men improve their mental health. My Stream schedule will be as follows:

Tuesday & Thursday at 5:00 PM MST

Hi, I'm Artemis Stardust (aka/fka Cynthia Jeub). I'm one of 16 kids and my family was on reality TV in the late 2000s. Ask Me Anything!

In addition to being on TLC and ABC's WE-TV channel in 2007 and 2009, and the third oldest of 16 kids, I was homeschooled by fundamentalist evangelical Christians. I helped raise my younger siblings and worked for the family business.

I have written about my story for Huffington Post and Business Insider, and I run a blog about my experiences. Big families have been a big topic this month, and I wrote a piece recently about why I won't be watching the Amazon docuseries Shiny Happy People. I've done AMAs on other platforms but not on this subreddit. I'm curious to know what the wider reddit community would like to ask me, and I'm ready to answer questions.

Hi everyone! I’m Rew Islam, the Director of Product Engineering and Innovation, leading the passwordless projects at Dashlane. I’m looking forward to discussing Passkeys and the future of online authentication. Ask me Anything!

Hey Reddit! I’m Rew, and I’m the Director of Product Engineering and Innovation. I lead the passwordless projects at Dashlane, where we help keep all your passwords, payments, and personal info safe, secure, and accessible only to you.

Passkeys are a simpler and more secure way to authenticate online. Leveraging WebAuthn, the same underlying technology behind security keys like YubiKeys, passkeys are set to redefine our digital safety norms. Born from the inventive minds at the FIDO Alliance, and already adopted by Google and Paypal, passkeys are a potential game-changer in cybersecurity, and we at Dashlane are thrilled about this. Envisaged as a future replacement for passwords, passkeys promise a more secure digital world.

A little about myself, I started my career doing web development in the early 2000s, then eventually, I joined Dashlane in 2011 as their first iOS developer. I grew up in East London, an area called Brick Lane, and now have settled with a partner and two kids just north of Paris, France.

I’m looking forward to answering your questions about passkeys, Dashlane, best practices, or myself. Ask me Anything!

Howdy Reddit!

My name is Alex and I have albinism. Albinism is a rare genetic disorder that causes reduced pigmentation of the hair and skin. It also affects vision development; most people with albinism (myself included) are visually impaired.
