There’s other ways to do that too. Kids here (Netherlands) get fluoride treatments from a young age (after their adult teeth have come through, I think) up to 18. It’s not particularly enjoyable but like you said, it benefits you for the rest of your life.

Free/affordable healthcare means checkups at the dentist about every 6 months. After the checkup you get these two small jaw shaped containers (for upper and lower sides) filled with a fluoride paste and you just sit there for a few minutes drooling into a metal bowl. There’s even flavours but they’re all gross, haha. Apparently that’s on purpose so you don’t swallow too much.

Anyway, this whole fluoride in the water thing appears to be a very US based discussion, so I’ve got no horse in this race. I just wish the US had better, more affordable healthcare to begin with.

Seconded.

Like the upper management and C-suite give a fuck about any of their employees.

But a lowercase L is just… l

:')

Gran Turismo 7 pulled the same shit. I’m still pissed about that one. Plus the lack of single player content basically means I haven’t even played the game since shortly after launch. The grind without mtx is crazy boring.

As much as I’d love for people to do this, there’s probably a ton of software safeguards to prevent this. Even if you’d get around it, those greedy fuckers will undoubtedly void your warranty. And somehow that’s legal too.

Helectronic Parts?

With lots of stairs and a lifetime supply of tea.

No, but men can’t be victims of such things anyway, didn’t you know? ^/s

You were doing great, until the last paragraph. Too bad.

I’m LGBTQ…AND republican. Although that means something vastly different where I live, haha (I live in a kingdom).

I still have a PC copy of 2007(?) Sega Rally I can no longer play because the DRM software is no longer supported in Windows.

Holy shit

I clicked the last story and it made truly me sick to my stomach. I had to skip through the details halfway. I’m angry and sad, and I am once again confirmed in my belief that I will never, ever want to live in the US. There are so many of these stories, and for so long now, and yet nothing has changed. The country is morally bankrupt.

“Boomer” has basically become slang for things like conservative, old-fashioned, technologically illiterate, homophobic, racist, etc.

Depends on the context, but barely anyone I know uses the word literally anymore.

No shit.

In-universe lore. Of any franchise or story really. I love good world-building. Even if it’s just some funny details or references.

You can imagine the first time, as a kid, watching a marvel movie and recognising Stan Lee, I was very excited. Little did I know this was a running gag.

Seeing “Gay Olympics” made me go “wut?”, so of course I clicked the link, and it immediately made sense.

No Man’s Sky has had no loading screens during gameplay, and space to planet transitions on full planets, since what… 2016?

The Creation Engine is just too damn old.

Edit @Dark Arc: You’re right. Creation Engine is just too damn shitty, I guess. I called it “old” because the gameplay feels so antiquated.

I wish her, and you as well, the best.
