It’s quite bad and crazy though. fluoridated water helps to protect people’s teeth, and all you need to do is drink tap water. This means that anyone with access to tap water will get at least some basic protection against tooth decay and all the health problems that stem from that.

Without fluoridated water, the people who do not have access to regular dental care (including toothbrushes and toothpaste) will be the ones who suffer the most. Those are the people who will end up in emergency rooms with infections, heart disease, etc. and will also not be able to pay the hospital bill, thus not only adding stress to already stretched thin emergency rooms, but also overall creating a larger financial burden on the industry.

Something something an ounce of prevention and all…

The letter is not here yet you liar

A sternly worded, AI-generated notice:

While it’s understandable to be cautious about buying a product based on promised updates, there are several reasons why it can still be a reasonable decision:

• Trust in the Brand: Many companies have a track record of delivering on their promises. If a brand has a history of providing valuable updates and features, it may be worth trusting that they will continue to do so.

• Current Value: Even if a product has promised future features, it often provides substantial value in its current state. Users can benefit from the existing features while looking forward to enhancements.

• Community and Ecosystem: Some products thrive in a vibrant community where users share tips, tricks, and workarounds. The support of an active user base can enhance the product experience even before promised features are released.

• Long-term Investment: In fast-paced technology markets, many products evolve over time. Buying early can sometimes give users a competitive edge or ensure they are part of the development process, influencing future updates.

• Risk vs. Reward: While there’s a risk that promised features may not materialize, the potential reward—enhanced functionality, improved performance, or even a price drop due to demand—can make the investment worthwhile.

• Feedback Opportunities: Early adopters often have a voice in the development of future updates. Engaging with a product before all features are released can allow users to provide valuable feedback that shapes the final product.

In conclusion, while it’s prudent to be wary of non-existent features, evaluating the overall value, the brand’s reputation, and potential benefits can justify the purchase.

For the most part they have a reasonably generous pacing of violence throughout many (if not most) episodes. The ones that don’t probably get panned by these people as ‘one of the boring ones’

If wages/salary are your primary/only source of income, you are not part of the wealthy class, even if it is $500k. Not even close.

Of course riding mowers are not common outside of the US.

North America really, they’re everywhere in Canada as well

Doing interviews when you know you have nothing on the line is a good way to practice, because you don’t need to care if you do badly. Bonus is, you might end up getting an offer for something better :)

World special military operation

We know it reflects light, so that just tells me we haven’t used a big enough laser yet :p

I have 3 kids and it’s been my experience that the parents who are worried they might mess up tend to be the better parents, because they care enough to worry. It’s the ones who think they have it in the bag that tend to fuck up.

You’ll do fine

This is a bad move. The more Russian citizens have access to outside information, the better chance they can learn what’s actually happening in Ukraine and the amount of damage the government is doing to their own country. The more Russians that have exposure to that information, it becomes more likely that the people will show their dissatisfaction. Without VPN, the people only have access to the internal propaganda.

yeah, 98 was trash. 98SE was good

WFH + satellite internet + solar panels = If you want to threaten violence, you’ll have to find me

GM also has tons of union employees which has some impact on the non-union portion (i.e. better benefits etc), so seeing first-hand what unions can do for you might make them more likely to support one even if their current working conditions are great.

America’s Deadliest Home Shootouts

Does that come on before or after “Ow! My Balls!”?

In the states, they’ll just accuse the phone of committing a crime and take it anyways

TBF, pot has played a big role in the making of some great music

There are ways to silence those people without killing them though. Theoretically that is the reason that GITMO exists.

Things you will rarely read about democrats: “said batshit insane stuff on some hentai forum”

Either because a) they didn’t do it, or b) were smart enough to not have the comments be tracked back to them personally

So ‘the montage from the beginning of Idiocracy’ timeline? I mean, pretty sure we knew we were still 50+ years away from President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

It can be argued that he was actually a great president in his time. He recognized a problem and made sure to find and enable the most qualified person to fix it, and actually implemented their solutions even if it pissed off the corpos

I’d be slightly less pissed off about constantly being advertised to if all ads had the same level of effort put into them that superbowl ads do
