I'm nearly 40 years old and I got braces this week. This shit is really inconvenient. It's hard to eat and you have to brush every time after. I'll probably drop some weight so I guess that will be an unexpected benefit.
I'm headed to the ortho next week. I should have gotten it taken care of when I was young. Not looking forward to it.

I'm using my MacBook for the first time in almost a year, and it feels seriously weird - yet oddly comforting - to be back on macOS. Gotta love Apple for creating such a beautifully simplistic OS.

Braces gave me headaches, toothaches and recurring dreams (to this day) of my teeth falling out, and when I finally got them off it felt like my teeth were covered in slime because of how rough they felt for prior two years.

I do still get told I have a really nice smile and teeth, though.

Have I ever told you that you have a pretty mouth?

That's what I'm holding onto to get me through this. I fucked up my grill years ago when I had a fight with the ground and haven't smiled much since.

i always had nice teeth and a straight nose, until i kissed a step when i was about 19... i still look good but a few of my teeth have chipped a bit over the years... you wouldn't notice at first glance... it's not enough to justify any kind of reconstruction but it sucks... don't run in flip flops

I'm British, so naturally my teeth are all crooked and stained. I was offered braces as a teenager, but couldn't afford them, so now I'm just a dentally-depraved ugly runt.

you poms should be proud of ur wacked out teeth it's been your national flag for centuries :p

at least ur not alone!

Adults can get bracers for the record, maybe look into 'invisalign' or whatever, if u want~

ps. interesting thing, i dunno if it's fact, but apparently mums shouldn't kiss their babies on the mouth because their mouth bacteria can damage that baby's teeth, er apparently permentantly. this could be true or it could be just another of the momentous, shuddering, reeking, fume'ing piles of horse shit my mother in law pulls outta her ass when it comes to medicine and women's anatmoies.

Yet babies get a second set of teeth when they grow.

When I got tooth aches as a kid the remedy was rub whiskey on the gums. Placebo effect.

I'll be honest with you. My girl does what many Japanese people do to brush her teeth - a touthpaste'ess brush scrubbing in their mouth for like 15 minutes. They start doing it in primary school.. I ache to tell her mum that her teeth aren't sub-optimal because of childhood kissing, it's because she never taught her daughter how to brush her teeth lol...

i've finally got through to bae on this front though, got her an electric toothbrush that pulses every time she should change quadrant, and ends after about 2 minutes... she seems to be reassured by the legitimacy of this new persuasion :p

not surprising really. Probably related to the same reason kittens eat their moms poop and dogs love gulping down shit from other dogs.
only vaguely related but i suspect my puppy of 10 years ago ate his own poop because he knew i didn't like him shitting on the carpet lol

(took him about 6 months to learn why we kept putting him on the toilet mat every time)

The one thing about dogs is they can sense feelings and get anxiety over it. Cats can as well but don't care unless they're hungry.

I love cats but getting a Collie (dog) as soon as I can.

Can't jog with a cat. Although have known cats to follow their owner when they leave for work.

And the people who say put a bell on your cat, cruelty.

my lab/basset hound mix greedily chomps down any shit he finds. I knocked a big black turd out of his mouth just today. He won’t eat his own shit tho, just random shit he finds.

he knows I’m gonna pull him hard so he wolfs down anything he finds while we’re walking as quickly as he can.

Am I the only one really enjoying Doctor Who: Flux? The acting has been spot on, and the VFX are amazing.
I'm hoping all this build up is given a worthy pay-off, but with Chibnall helming the writing I am not confident we'll get anything good.

I'm sad for Jodie because given a better writer she could've been great, but the material she's had to work with has been shite.

Well, if rumours are to be believed, Chibnall had help from RTD with writing the last episodes and the specials next year. With any luck, Thirteen will get the send off she deserves.

Anyone else noticed movies being removed from rental/purchasing on the likes of Google Play?

Just noticed that Aliens isn't available, it just says "Disney+" now with a subscribe button. :messenger_unamused:

The future is bright, the future is digital! Just give me the fucking UHD Blu-Ray.

It's annoying for sure. People migrated from cable/subscription TV because streaming was cheaper and had a wider range of content plus no adverts, it was great to start.

Now you're paying more for decidedly less quality across a number of providers and we have the bloated cable model again. Shit sucks.

... and almost everyone I know, regardless of their salaries, use IPTV etc to stream movies, sport and everything in between, for free (Or a very small yearly subscription, we're talking like £30/$50).

They don't care about quality when its free/cheap and a shitty bitrate 1080p/4k stream with buffering is fine cos they ain't paying.

The convenience factor is a big plus for a huge number of people. Especially for a good price point. (or free as you point out)


I'll never give up my physical collection. I even still have all my HD-DVD's lol. Although I think my LE 5 Disc Blade Runner no longer works :messenger_loudly_crying:

The problem is, convenience becomes less when you have to skip between apps/providers all the time to find something to watch and then the added cost of multiple providers... it'd be easier & quicker to put a disc in than scroll through several apps. Its almost gone backwards on the convenience front and in the process, lost the image & audio quality.

Reminds me of when satellite dishes became popular, plenty of dodgy ones on the market. Now you can just get a Kodi-box (Pretty much illegal, people have been prosecuted for selling them).

But yup you just flick channels and can't pay attention, all the channels and as soon as you're bored skip around.

Bring back the old days with CRT's and a clothes hanger as an attenae. I'm not even joking. Those were the golden years.

Prosecuted for buying pre-setup ones but nothing ever happens if you set it all up yourself with the plethora of information available on the web.

If you look at the list of top box office bombs, the majority are from the 21st century. So this either means that we live in an era of shit movies nobody goes to see, or piracy is sky-high. (Or both).

I never knew that, aren't they just simple things like PI's in a box like all the junk kickstarter consoles? Wow a new console, look at the tech, it's a PI that's been around for decades for free.

I wouldn't have the patience. Just stream shit from abroad and the connection can be dire or good.

Watched the last season of GOT on streaming sites rather than torrent at the end, had to have several windows open as one would drop signal and the other window would be ahead or behind. You couldn't get HBO here at the time I think was region blocked. I think? Don't remember and all for the better.

Then 'True detective' took up the mantle. And later that shitty show about porn, never watched the last season as it was so predictably bad.

I'll get my flu and pertussis shots on thursday. I don't have a fapping arm, though. I'll make sure not to use my cooking and cleaning arm, then.
My fapping arm is also my cooking and cleaning arm as well as my handshaking and fistbump arm.

I make sure to convey that information in a greeting to all guests who come over to my house for dinner.
