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.

This has to be fake, because birds aren’t real.

I threw mine of the balcony when it refused to print again.

I’m not even kidding. It felt amazing. (I did clean up the mess tho)

Exactly! If it were a generation ship however… That would’ve sucked.

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.

Can the EU please do something here? This is BS.

Helectronic Parts?

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

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

Oh, bother!

That some goddamn ✨ P R O G R E S S ✨ right there buddy!

You don’t know until you try.

I fully agree with your… Vibe?

But honestly there are differences between the sexes and genders and we shouldn’t just ignore those. Especially not with gender roles still being so embedded and most people being raised/coded with them.

I grew up a hetero normative male and that shit is hard to let go of, even tho I’m definitely not straight and love queer stuff. Escaping that “programming” can be scary AF.

I’m more than happy to raise a new generation free of gender roles, but let’s not forget those that were raised with them.

Praise the sun for me being cheap and generic, instead of hipster, then!

Lol I have those exact barstools at home.

TIL they are supposed to be hipster/fancy?

Seems similar to the Dutch “gezellig”.
