  • Thinking of going abroad for dental implants. An oral surgeon said it used to be an issue with poor-quality knock off parts, but that the manufacturing has gotten really good.

    Countries keep cost low by subsidizing doctors’ education, by the way, which is even more expensive for them when those doctors cash out to come to the US where doctors graduate with a debt of $250,000 from schools where graduation class size hasn’t changed in decades.

    By the by, intensive and indiscrimnate care by specialists–where doctors want to end up instead of low-paid primary care–is definitely more expensive without necessarily leading to better outcomes.



  • Each slice will come with a disposable cryptowrapper that will be used by the toaster to validates the authenticity of the bread within.

    Given the high risk of deaths from house fires caused by toasting unregulated slices of black market bread–maybe inserted by unsuperivsed children–this is the most socially responsible path forward.





  • Maybe it’s from a watching too much Deadwood but “cocksucker” has taken up permanent residence in my brain and I can’t dislodge.

    The way I justify it to myself is that, no, there is NOTHING wrong with sucking cock, but it shouldn’t be your primary form of interacting with others, especially to people superior to you.

    So when I say “my organization is full of cocksuckers”, I mean to say that everyone owes their position to ingratiating themselves to the person above them, aka polishing knobs, and very little else–applying equally to women or men.

    But, yeah, if someone were actually a gay man, I’d definitely not say that about them specifically.

    Feel free to offer an alternative that offers the same deprecatory contempt. I’d offer “shit eaters”, but it doesn’t quite have the same ingratiatory overtones.
