I’ve heard cafeteria christian for this. It really seems to apply to most religious people. They do what they want and pick and chose what doctrine works for how they actually want to live, then rationalize why that is OK. Some of that ‘logic’ is wild…

That feeling is interesting. I don’t miss meat. I don’t want sausage. I miss trying someone else’s variation of something I like. Rubens are what I miss most in that way but biscuits and gravy are up there.

How do you think old people feel about all the actually old and saggy things? Our actual skin becomes something unrecognizable why would what’s on it be expected to stay perfect?

Seriously! Don’t store shit you don’t actually use and better yet don’t buy it in the first place! And sure, the random gadget is handy that one time per year, but the time saved that one time was completely negated by all the time spent digging through a mess.

I am proud to say that I don’t have this drawer. I grew up in a house with this drawer and always hated it. Nothing new is added to the kitchen without considering the actual need and anything that goes unused for any length of time is getting reevaluated.

Could you un max out other areas? Eliminate duplicates elsewhere so things in this drawer could be moved to the newly made space?

“Like obviously we need to make people know things exist, it makes financial and logical sense, etc.“

Why is this obvious? I know it’s so normal that me asking seems weird but, is this really how the world has to work? Can we not imagine a world without ads? I’d like to at least try.

Yeah, this makes sense. Think the thought still holds though. Just needs to be explained with the normal distribution meme.

This is how it should be!!!

If you can feel more than nothing during the root canal (or any dental work) then you need more anesthetic. Dentists aim to give you as little as possible so it is up to you to let them know if you have any feeling. It can start to wear off too, you’ll know and should tell them so they can give you more.

Take earbuds and listen to some music during it. Let the dentist know and they will probably be fine with that.

Edit: Read more of the thread. Don’t get high, it can interfere with the anesthetics. Your tolerance to them can be higher as well. If you feel comfortable with it you can talk to your dentist about it.

My vote too. It’s crazy, nothing can be trusted when it relies on ads. Everyone likes to think it doesn’t work on them or is worth the free content but they are wrong and it isn’t.

The annular one over north America? Because it was annular. While a cool event it is really a specific kind of partial eclipse. Totality is incomparable to even a 99% partial eclipse. I heard it described as the difference between mostly dead VS dead and recently I’ve seen the xkcd comic that does a decent job conveying the difference too.

Why though. So I might be able to reduce nausea to do… What. Be forced to see ads for shit I don’t want?

I bet you are fun at parties. But really, you are correct and I might actually stick around at that party.
