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.

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?

With lots of stairs and a lifetime supply of tea.

No, but men can’t be victims of such things anyway, didn’t you know? ^/s

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

I’m LGBTQ…AND republican. Although that means something vastly different where I live, haha (I live in a kingdom).

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

I clicked the last story and it made truly me sick to my stomach. I had to skip through the details halfway. I’m angry and sad, and I am once again confirmed in my belief that I will never, ever want to live in the US. There are so many of these stories, and for so long now, and yet nothing has changed. The country is morally bankrupt.

Imagine having your healthcare tied to your employer :')

Sftu loser! He’s got great asteriskses, the best in fact! Nobodies got asteriskses like him, in the world!

^(/s, but not really necessary I hope)

Dude, that is so easy to say when you weren’t actually there, in a completely different time.

The flow of information was completely different back then too. You have the worlds information at your fingertips, these people hardly new what happened outside of their town and even then it was delayed and through very few sources.

It’s not that your anger is completely unjustified, but damn dude… Your anger is directed at a bunch of dead suckers most of whom were probably not large land owners and politicians. Direct it at their leaders, or better, the suckers very much alive, currently buying MAGA hats.

Couldn’t agree more. Imagine telling the Dutch how to do bikes as a non-Dutch. :p
