The only interaction I’ve ever had with authors of mods and such was sending them thanks for their hard work. Sad.

Quantum awkwardness. I for one am in a permanent state of possibly awkward.

There’s no better way to stifle a discussion than to see there’s 10k+ replies already. Pissing in an ocean of piss.

I wouldn’t bother. People who arrive at any opinion without using logic can’t be reasoned out of that opinion using logic. It’s an emotional thing.

Every single new “innovation” is literally locked behind a paywall, sometimes multiple, in tiers. You can’t just “buy” anything anymore, you can only lease it, usually at exorbitant prices compared to not that long ago.

More like a gnat in a manure pit. But do go on.

I have a 13-year old son I love more than life itself, and my greatest regret is bringing him into this world. It was not my place to create yet another source of suffering in this pit of eternal damnnation. I will definitely not make the same mistake again. Luckily I’m currently pretty much infertile.

Everything, considering we’ll be fighting each other over puddles of standing water in about two to three decades. Today’s life will seem like paradise in comparison, even for people who are currently suicidal.

O- here. I frequently get called up when the red cross needs donations. We don’t get paid either but it’s an hour I’m off work and it does save lives.

I liked this joke better when it was about async. Fits the purpose better.

Yeah lol never lived in a house big enough to have a hallway, let alone across multiple floors.

Absolutely not.

If they learn anything from this, it will be to better find the boundaries of what kind of grift they can or can’t get away with. The criminals will get smarter and barely a slap on the wrist. Worst case scenario, an entirely new flock of shitbirds will replace them and keep doing the same or worse.

As long as no one at the top goes to jail or completely personally bankrupt, there is 0 incentive for the system to change in the slightest.

Lol there’s even people accusing me of making it up or going to an illegal dentistry.

If you really want I can post pictures, but I warn you; they really aren’t pretty. I suppose I could also post the two or three pages of “aftercare” I got.

All in all, it seems a case of “This hasn’t ever happened to me, and it’s not my experience, so therefore, it can’t have happened to anyone, ever”. Whatever floats your boat.

I was actually warned against this since it can apparently cause actual burns if the liquor is high proof.

Bad teeth since my early youth - mostly genetic coupled with insufficient oral hygiene.

I’m not getting veneers or implants since I can’t afford those (I was quoted 34K €, which is just slightly below my annual salary). Once my gums heal, it’ll be the cheapest dentures I can find since nothing is covered until age 50.

I’ve had issues with my teeth almost since birth. My parents both had full dentures by ages 25 or so. It was definitely a combination of genetics and bad oral hygiene. I was actually glad to get them all out now because I’ve suffered from debilitating pain for weeks at least once or twice every single year of my life.

Actually no, I found the entire process to be incredibly rushed and the communication was bad to nonexistent. But that’s “free healthcare” for you. Even in places where medical issues don’t bankrupt you, the only way to get a truly seamless experience is to go to a private clinic and pay everything out of pocket.

I would, but the Hogans are plentiful and thriving, while the Andre the Giants of the world are either dead or being threatened by the Hogans.

Evil wins daily. We live in a world where “evil” has profoundly established itself as the leading paradigm for all of humanity, and all of us lost a long time ago, sometimes before being born.

At least one of those two was actually competent at his job.
