    Americans do this to avoid paying for a procedure I paid less than one day’s pay for and then dare call my country a shithole.

      Reminds me of the time I showed my American ex a popular Mexican pop song by an iconic band. He whips out another band playing that same song in English and gives me the side eye asking about plagiarism and my stinky little band making me feel terrible.

      I go online years later and find out the thief was the American band all along. 🙄

    root canal/filling

    I dunno for sure but I feel like you should decide which one you’re gonna do before you start setting up. Especially if you’re DIYing it on the floor.

    My mom took away my orthodontic care as a punishment when I was a teenager, so I ended up removing my own braces.

    Remember teeth are luxury bones that you need a separate subscription for in the US.

    Oh, man, the risk of infection in a bone is SO high, and can easily be fatal. Very bad idea. He’d be better off yanking the tooth.

    So, let’s just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity, so be honest. How do you feel?
