Holy shit, fabuland! I don’t think I’ve seen this or even remembered in the last 35 years! Those were my very first lego (after duplo) pieces in the 80’s…

I have a 13-year old son I love more than life itself, and my greatest regret is bringing him into this world. It was not my place to create yet another source of suffering in this pit of eternal damnnation. I will definitely not make the same mistake again. Luckily I’m currently pretty much infertile.
Everything, considering we’ll be fighting each other over puddles of standing water in about two to three decades. Today’s life will seem like paradise in comparison, even for people who are currently suicidal.
O- here. I frequently get called up when the red cross needs donations. We don’t get paid either but it’s an hour I’m off work and it does save lives.
It used to be worth it. It isn’t anymore. You have access to the internet. Use it.
I liked this joke better when it was about async. Fits the purpose better.
I’m pretty firmly in the second category only. I have had the first a few times, but when whatever thing you were so stoked about inevitably fries or fails a few weeks in, you quickly learn to stop doing #1 altogether.
Every textbook today comes with a goddamn one-use code, and they’re made in such a way that they’re useless without it.
It’s theft and extortion. But what are we going to do about it?
Yeah, thought so.
Lol mine does it if I keep perfectly still, so any overwhelming going on is purely of her own making. Luckily she’s tiny and her claws don’t really penetrate. And god, those sorry licks inbetween…
It’s not imposter syndrome if you’re actually incompetent and worthless, but society is so rotten to the core they don’t notice anymore.
My place of work used to be downright awesome. Pulled me out of some deep pits when I first ended up there.
Few years ago the owner/CEO sold his 51% shares to another company, and it’s steadily been downhill from there. No more bonuses. No budget for fun stuff. Openings never get filled, but no raises for the remainers either. All the really top people (management & dev) left, most of the ones who stayed weren’t that great (including myself). And then they started filling positions, including the CEO, from the “mother company”.
On paper, it’s still awesome. In practice, it’s anything but.
Took me the better part of two decades to finally land a decent job and I feel like I’m back at square one with nothing to show for it.
Absolutely not.
If they learn anything from this, it will be to better find the boundaries of what kind of grift they can or can’t get away with. The criminals will get smarter and barely a slap on the wrist. Worst case scenario, an entirely new flock of shitbirds will replace them and keep doing the same or worse.
As long as no one at the top goes to jail or completely personally bankrupt, there is 0 incentive for the system to change in the slightest.
Lol there’s even people accusing me of making it up or going to an illegal dentistry.
If you really want I can post pictures, but I warn you; they really aren’t pretty. I suppose I could also post the two or three pages of “aftercare” I got.
All in all, it seems a case of “This hasn’t ever happened to me, and it’s not my experience, so therefore, it can’t have happened to anyone, ever”. Whatever floats your boat.
I was actually warned against this since it can apparently cause actual burns if the liquor is high proof.
Bad teeth since my early youth - mostly genetic coupled with insufficient oral hygiene.
I’m not getting veneers or implants since I can’t afford those (I was quoted 34K €, which is just slightly below my annual salary). Once my gums heal, it’ll be the cheapest dentures I can find since nothing is covered until age 50.
I’ve had issues with my teeth almost since birth. My parents both had full dentures by ages 25 or so. It was definitely a combination of genetics and bad oral hygiene. I was actually glad to get them all out now because I’ve suffered from debilitating pain for weeks at least once or twice every single year of my life.
Actually no, I found the entire process to be incredibly rushed and the communication was bad to nonexistent. But that’s “free healthcare” for you. Even in places where medical issues don’t bankrupt you, the only way to get a truly seamless experience is to go to a private clinic and pay everything out of pocket.
Yeah, don’t google that…
Every single new “innovation” is literally locked behind a paywall, sometimes multiple, in tiers. You can’t just “buy” anything anymore, you can only lease it, usually at exorbitant prices compared to not that long ago.
