Sadly, you do know why. Some people are cunts.

I’ve made several friends over the last 10 years (I’m in mid 40s for reference). Some are my kid’s friend’s parents, some are work colleagues - male and female friends. Generally bond over shared trauma (children and shit that that happens at work) and then keep up the conversation on other shared interests (gardening, history, geology, bread, wine etc.)

But it takes work and support to keep friendships going and many don’t want to put in the effort. It’s not like the friendships you had as a kid where you can now, 30 years later, not talk for the majority of the year and then shoot a message and be instantly transported back to being 15 again.

They do. A final solution, some might say.

OP wants their nsfw account community subs separate from their sfw ones but only use one app.

I don’t save many posts but have this one.

Started watching Scavengers Reign due to the recommendations on here and really enjoying it.

My recommendations would include Steins Gate, Buffy and Angel, Doctor Who (mostly the 2005 series as I’ve yet to watch the 1963 or 2023 ones) and Battlestar Galactica

If you work in the Australian government, or one of the state govs (like I do) it’s essential viewing. It should be part of the induction tbh.

Agreed, but you mentioned current ones, and I was replying to you.

Oh gosh no, not doing that at all. I was just suggesting that maybe you’re not getting recommended to use an electric toothbrush because you might have other teeth issues that may not be fixed by an electric toothbrush (like weak enamel or damaged teeth), or won’t benefit from it at least.

I’m not happy for you to be proved wrong! Deplatforming fascists is always welcome.

Never had a dentist try to sell me a toothbrush. In fact, I get given a manual one every time I leave. Which I use for cleaning around the taps in the bathroom. But they are always glad I’m using an electric brush. My kids (both under 10) use them too, after they learnt how to do it manually properly (just in case).

Not American btw.

Maybe you have problems that a change of toothbrush ain’t gonna fix.

For camping, as you have the iO heads already, get a iO series 2 body as they use the older motor but new heads and the battery lasts about 20 days. Way longer than other iO series bodies. It’s not as good as those either but for camping, meh.

Also, you can buy USB-plugged oral B chargers. Useful for travel

Frequently use voice to text because I can’t be bother typing. This is an example but it doesn’t always work well.

I did, so this was an ironic autocorrect, given the subject.

I do stand by the fact that reading would solve the problem - iO brushes literally have a massive iO on the packaging, so there should be absolutely no reason to buy the wrong ones, and they aren’t that expensive either if you buy in bulk from somewhere like Amazon.

Plus, if we’re talking toothbrushes, electric ones are much better for their consistent cleaning abilities compared to manual ones and every dentist will agree - they can tell instantly what you use as soon as they check your teeth. What is more expensive is dental care required due to improper oral hygiene, so spending a bit more on a decent toothbrush is cheaper in the long run.

I don’t trust anyone’s opinion unless it’s based on sound evidence and repeatable results and even then, I’ll only trust the opinions of those who are willing to change their opinion based on new knowledge. So, given that, I’ll trust my young kids opinions on things they have researched and learnt about, or a doctor’s opinion if it’s on something they’re knowledgeable about, and my own in areas where I’m an expert.

How MUCH I trust them is a different thing. If it’s something that doesn’t really affect me if it’s not 100% accurate…meh

I mean, that’s fair. They are still too far right. But much closer to the socialist utopia

Fucking /s for those who need it

You know what never has this problem? Basically literacy skills, 6 pack for like $10

Speed isn’t really a factor here, as many European speed limits are higher than US ones, but there is at leaat some separation between vehicles and pedestrians. It’s not rocket science - vehicles and fleshy water bags don’t mix well

Thomas doesn’t give any fuchs.

It’s quite interesting that even 160 years after slavery became illegal in the US, it’s still practised and now supports the prison industrial complex. Populated primarily with people who wouldve been slaves pre-civil war. Convenient. Racism is alive and well.

US continues its slavery problem just in a different way. Sick bastards.
