What kind of grinds my gears is when I read articles saying, “You don’t need to get your wisdom teeth out unless they become problematic!”
The issue being........ That language implies they don’t become problematic very often, which they do
Cannot begin to count the number of people we tell to get their wisdom teeth out simply because they’re coming in sideways and NEWSFLASH!! They don’t magically even out even on the chance they erupt!!!!
And even if they do erupt!!! We gotta deal with the scenario of if you can even clean that shit clean! Do you know how hard it apparently is just to keep your normal molars clean? Most of the decay/cavities I’ve ever seen are on the back teeth!!! Because they’re hard to clean because they’re hard to access!!!! But you want me to believe you can reach the wisdom teeth? All the way back there?? Where you can your literal jawbone AND cheek smooshed so tightly against the side of your tooth you physically cannot stick your toothbrush in there. The space is SO limited. And guess what!! That means cavities!!!!! And even if we fill those cavities, if you don’t work hard they’re gonna get cavities again!!!! (And to be totally honest, filling cavities on wisdom teeth takes so much longer than the other teeth just because it’s hard for us to get back there too!! So you really wanna keep doing this????)
Listen, I’m just saying if you have the financials for it assuming you live in the US, and the dentist or whatever can give you a reason, just get them out. It’s gonna save you so much trouble down the line. And if you live somewhere where the healthcare system ISN’T a hellscape, yeah, just get them the fuck out if a dentist says something.
i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
Struck by lightning, sounds pretty frightening
But you know the chances are so small
Hit by the A-Train, crashed in an airplane
Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall
But it's a twenty-three-or-four-to-one
That you can fall in love by the end of this song
So get up, get up
No I'm never gonna let up so you might as well sing along
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright, odds are we gonna be alright tonight
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright, odds are we gonna be alright tonight
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright, odds are we gonna be alright tonight
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we gonna be alright, odds are we gonna be alright for another night
I always love singing along to Barenaked Ladies, and thus did so when Odds Are came up on the radio when we were in the car earlier! I love this song; it always cheers me up and I find it comforting!
I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"
Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.
imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws
if genital selection becomes the next big thing in RPGs we need to push beyond a binary application of “penis” and “vulva” (even if there are additional options past that binary gate) and make a single slider. x and y axis type of thing like chusing the depth and width of your chin.
