Oh yeah, that's my favorite case in the series but he did still put it in great so I can understand a bit of a difference in opinion there.

Yeah, fair enough. I was being difficult. I did, admittedly, actually read the rest, and I agree with most of it.

2-4 is so good and I can't even imagine putting 2-2 above it, so I stopped there.

Gas is more money but so much better

If I have to have anything done that requires needle at all, I get gas. Hell, I got gas about a year ago for a deep cleaning, and, since then, they've weaned me off of it for normal cleanings (since I had a deep cleaning, my cleanings have gotten less intensive since). Now, I can easily get a regular cleaning with no gas, but if I need any needle and/or serious work done... Screw it, I pay the $50/hr for the gas.

My face is finally de thawing so later on tonight I'll hit up the walmart for some more acceptable food and extra gazes for the....oozing. Oddly enough, I don't see much if any swelling in my face.

My face didn't swell at all. I just had (mostly) dull pains, and... Well, that word you don't like.

Wonderful it really does feel weird knowing those problem teeth are gone, my mouth doesn't feel as full as it used to and I have to constantly remind myself to not let my tongue wander and to not do that thing where you take a big breath and blow it out force ably I tend to do that when I'm bored and have nothing holding my attention.

Yeah, it definitely takes a little while to get used to, but you do.

Similarly, I have a crown on one of my back molars, and it felt like a foreign entity literally for days. I had to remind myself not to tongue at it. After a few days, though, it feels like any other tooth.

As for what you can eat, anything that doesn't require intense chewing. Apple sauce, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, things like that. Certainly nothing crunchy, and nothing tough that you need to chew harder at.

Can I take them out to drink water or eat?

Yes, absolutely. Just have them in, as needed, if you're not doing anything else.

Alright, I get a good joke, but the guy literally purposely made it look like a border patrol truck, and added red and blue lights to it to trick people into thinking they were literally being pulled over by actual police and/or border patrol, so... That's just kinda creepy.

I feel like adblock and DVR ruined a lot of people, so now people freak out if they even so much as hear about an ad.

Also, this. Don't like, freak out worrying about it. It's fairly difficult to actually get dry socket, atleast in my experience.

tremain07 posted...

What do I need to do to avoid dry socket? Also while I have some feeling back in my face it's not all the way back

Don't do anything that causes suction or a similar quality. Don't use straws, don't smoke, don't spit if you can help it, things like that. The whole point is that you want to keep the scab/clot in place. Dry socket can occur if the scab/clot dislodges. The first 24-48 hours are especially crucial, here.

For people that do love the moving 2D graphics, I do highly recommend Nexomon. It is a, legitimately, very pretty game. It's a clear Pokemon clone, and thus it falls into all of the "Pokemon lite" traps, but it and its sequal (Nexomon Extinction) are just fun times to be had, if you like the 2D style, especially for the price.

I googled this word and it showed me a picture of a woman's uterus and iud... wth. Also an anime girl. Based on context of this topic I'm assuming you meant... the IUD?

Why would you not just Google "Pokemon Skyla," since you have the context?

The more I think about it, the more I realize I wouldn't have liked Pokemon staying in 2D. If you stick with 2D sprites for battles, no matter how well drawn/animated, you have to stick with 2D overworld, too. And that means sticking with random battles. Even Nexomon doesn't do the "you can see the ___mon on the overworld" because it'd just look odd being on a 2D plain. The games that do have the mons on the overworld, like Cassette Beasts, purposely stuck with the more pixelated aesthetic overall, to make it look better, and I don't like the pixelated aesthetic.

I liked the moving sprites at the time, but now they just look ugly to me, since they're so pixelated.

If they were like Nexomon, I'd like it more. Granted, I get why they couldn't be Nexomon quality, due to platform limitations. I'm just not sure I trust that they would have ever reached that level of quality, so I prefer the 3D models.

Did you mean to say girafarig?

Girafarig recently got an evolution!

tremain07 posted...

No, they told me that too and please don't say "ooze" for some reason that word really makes me feel like throwing up

Sorry. That's just... The best way to describe "bleeding" that isn't like, active bleeding.

I won't type it anymore. You get what I meant, I believe.

firedoom666 posted...

Will the dlc add the other 400 or so pokemon missing from the game?

If the answer is no, then it is not worth it

All of them, no. A lot of them, yes. And you don't have to buy the DLC to get them, so it doesn't have to be worth it, you can trade/transfer the Pokemon in, regardless. The DLC is literally only for the additional story content. If you don't want that, don't buy it, because you don't need it to get the Pokemon.

Honestly, if anything, this is how DLC SHOULD be done. Do you want the new story content? No? Then don't buy it. You can just trade/transfer in the returning Pokemon that they added back, just like the old games.

"thank you faceless corporation! Please inundate me with more ads"

It's a choose your battles kind of thing. With Youtube, it literally impacts me, because I have to otherwise sit through sometimes literally minutes of ads. An ad that pops up once and I click one button and I'm done with it... That's not a battle I choose to fight, because there are so many others to be concerned with. If I chose to get upset over literally everything, I'd not be able to play video games, watch movies, eat most foods, etc. and so on.

wackyteen posted...

It's the fucking principle of the matter.

If I riled myself up to care about principle that much, I'd have literally no hobbies whatsoever. I'd just stare at a wall all day, because nothing else would be available to me. And I'd probably hate myself for staring at that wall, which was likely built with improper labor.

tremain07 posted...

One of them already a lot of blood in it, should I go buy some more? Wait, is it safe to sleep with these in my mouth?

Don't sleep with them. Just use them up until you go to sleep, if it's actively bleeding.

If you went through all of the ones the dentist gave you and they all seeped with blood/the bleeding didn't really slow, then I'd potentially buy some more, yes. You'd be the best judge. If it feels like the bleeding has slowed, and it's more just... Oozing, then you probably don't need to buy any. Wounds like that will "ooze" for awhile, but it's not necessary to have gauze, at that point. Just rinse with salt water like, twice a day, to keep it clean.

EDIT: But don't rinse with salt water until after 24 hours, unless they told you otherwise.

It's on Steam right now too with an image of Spawn fighting the Violator ingame lmao. I haven't played CoD in years but wtf has it turned into

That's Warzone, which has basically become similar to Fortnite in that there are third party costumes, now.

I get that ads suck in general, but I just can't bring myself to actually be upset over it. Atleast it's not like Youtube, where I literally have to watch for however long. I can just go straight to Exit or whatever and, bam, I lost like... 3 seconds?

The Max Payne series is fantastic.

if its like sword and shield, itll have dlc on cart and be the only one to retain its value at all.

This tends to be the opposite of how things like this usually work. It's typically the first release that retains value, while the later rereleases don't. Or, if they all do, the first releases are more valuable.

In the end, I'm fine with it. Orange Islands was basically filler, so I didn't mind Tracey existing for a short while. He had some fun Pokemon, like Venonat and Scyther. And, honestly, he was a lot better than some of the later companions.

Ah that tracks

Ah-ha!

I don't think caring about enemy names a little bit is weird at all. If you're like, super upset about it, than sure, but if it's just an "Aww, I liked the old one," or, "Ooh, the new one is nice," it's just... Whatever? Especially when dealing with nostalgia. That applies to pretty much anything, you get used to something being named a certain way. It's like if you grew up with your local supermarket being Super Duper for most of your life, and it's now a Smith's or Kroger or Albertson's or whatever... It's pretty natural to "It's still Super Duper to me."

That pressure was something else, If I weren't already used to things like that due to various other medical issues throughout my life I'd of freaked out. I wish I could have asked to see my former teeth but I was kind of mentally exhausted from doing 3 at once . I still don't know if I'm just gonna go through life missing 3 teeth or if I'll get replacement ones. You guys got any thoughts on that?

Oh geez, the pressure can be rough if you aren't used to it, because you literally feel them tugging on the tooth, or breaking it, or so on. I was glad I already had the gas to get over my needle anxiety, because I think the pressure may have bothered me a lot more otherwise.

I'm missing three teeth, but they're all back teeth. A back molar and a wisdom tooth on one side, and a back molar on the other side. Having the latter molar removed allowed the wisdom tooth room to come in, so while there's a bit of a gap between it and the tooth ahead of it, it just kinda... Worked out.

Since they're in the back, I never bothered even thinking about replacing them, since I have no trouble eating or anything.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


This. They always (or should always) do the needle for removing a tooth or any other major work. The gas just calms you, and has very minor numbing qualities. I hate needles, so I get the gas specifically to make the needle bearable to me, and then so the sound/pressure feeling of work being done no longer bothers me.

Do I have this right?

The studio complied with union safety guidelines and now wants the actress to pay the cost?

I think it does not matter how trustworthy Eckhart is. I think what matters is a company must guarantee your safety and not put you in a position where you must trust coworkers.

The fact is that most of us routinely trust the people we work with because we have no choice.

It doesn't sound like they're actually suing over that part. The part they appear to be suing about is where they basically suggest she more or less held the movie up for ransom by refusing to sign things to allow them to release the film unless they paid her more money.

Who knows how true or not that is, we only know one side of the story.

Luteo posted...

Messed up, and it's people like her that never issue a formal apology or retraction, they just stick with their lies forever

We literally have no idea if she's lying. Why are you apparently so sure?

I liked the name Mack because of the reference, but I'll be honest, Claymorton is a pretty cool name.

I never understood the "too much water" complaint. I've been replaying the series, and I just finished Emerald recently, and you spend like... Maybe an hour, tops, on the actual water, depending on how many trainers you actually battle. Otherwise, you're either in a dungeon or town. The water, itself, amounts to being... Two, maybe three routes?

What's interesting is that the production company is openly saying they conducted an investigation and found the claims to be unfounded, which, since they're the ones suing, opens them up to further scrutiny. Which means they're either very confident in their own findings, or they're complete idiots.

This is an intriguing case, since it's typically an actor/actress suing a production company over such allegations, not such allegations coming out after a production company sued an actor/actress.

Curious to see what comes from discovery.

Its along the lines of what I recall from their end of services announcement and here say. The original plan was just to open the beta for a while, build hype and sell dlc. Then close it and rerelease the complete game a year later.

But they kept the beta open likely due to the insane player count at its peak and revenues gained. Which was a mistake in my opinion, and should have ended as soon as the player count started to nosedive.

That and the game was fundamentally broken and needed a lot more then a few patchs to fix.

Fair enough. I do recall their end of services announcement saying they intended it to be a limited beta, but I also remember people feeling kinda blindsided, since they never really indicated there would be an "end" prior, and, usually, when something is openly charging you money for things, there is no real "end," prior to release. But they did decide to end it, and effectively screwed some people over, in the process.

Poor decisions, all around.

Did this really need a bump after 20 minutes?

MrAntisocial posted...

I dunno nextdoor says it's a lot more dangerous and has the videos to prove it!

But it's really dangerous out there and there are so many thieves unlike 20 years ago. Just go on nextdoor and look at all the videos of kids and adults stealing entire bowls of candy (including the bowl)

It's almost like video doorbells are a recent thing

Mind posting a few, so we know what to look out for?

Prismsblade posted...

It was only an open beta originally and never meant to stay playable for as long as it was.

It was an open beta, but was there actually any indication that they intended to take it down, at all? Most open betas, nowadays, don't get taken down. They just kinda stay up until they transition to "gold" status. For example, compare it to things like Disney Speedstorm and Dreamlight Valley, which also came out as a betas, but just stayed active until the full release. Granted, I haven't taken part in many such "open betas," but I remember Tem-tem doing something similar, way back when, so based on my own personal experiences, I haven't seen many games actually just... Stop existing, for awhile, between open beta and actual release. Especially not ones that charged you money for things during the beta.

Did you decorate for Halloween? Did you in any suggest that you were home to pass out candy? When I trick-or-treated with friends, these were the factors as to whether or not we'd go up to a house.

This is also a factor. When I was a kid, me and my friends would map out which houses gave candy out, which ones gave out the best candy, and so on. If you were particularly known for not giving out candy, or giving out bad candy, then we just didn't include you on our route.

It's not conclusive, but KH1 sure made it sound like it was a unique thing. "The Keyblade chooses its master. And it chose you!" It definitely felt like a Master Sword situation. Idk if the Japanese version sounded less decisive, but the way Leon & co talked about it in English sounded like it was the one and only Keyblade.

This may be an agree to disagree situation, since I never really felt this. I just felt like it was saying THAT Keyblade chose Sora, not like it was the "only" Keyblade. And those feelings proved to be correct later in the game, when other Keyblades were revealed.

Like, I feel like it's implied fairly early on, via Mickey, that there are multiple Keyblades. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, I don't know.
