Every time except one

That sucks. Sorry you have to deal with that.

Yeah, I've been using PayPal and AirBnB for years but if they ever start req... excuse me, WHEN they start requiring government ID I'm out.

I never tried Stripe

I don't consider them social media.

Virtually nothing on it is about the poster, and that's mostly how I see social media. Even more baffling is people calling YouTube social media.

Two important caveats though.

  1. maybe r/JohnQSmith type things are prevalent just not in my experience. There's plenty of content I've never seen.

  2. The descriptivists won the day, so language is about what people do say not what people should say. If people call it that and the dictionary or whatever says something different, the speakers aren't wrong. The dictionary is wrong.

Haha yeah, good bit.

I just wanted to be clear that just because we're both going to deny the election results if we lose doesn't mean we're at all similar in other regards.

Sorry if I was a little defensive. Lot of "BWAH I DONT LIKE THIS" in the comments but zero "Actually I think we'll just say 'Well done Donnie, enjoy being president. See you in four years.'. Not even "Well if HE wins then it actually WILL have been rigged so of course we'll call it that.". All " boo" no content

I don't have the ppm memorized, but it was like tenth percentile

Not really. Since it isn't in my well no matter what I do, the effects of fluoride in water aren't relevant to my question.

But the consensus in the comments is that fluoride in my toothpaste and maybe mouthwash is sufficient, and having fluoride treatments as a child but not as an adult makes sense.

Reads like a shibboleth to me

[–] pb42184@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Thanks

Fluoridated water just isn't an option for me but I can ask my dentist about options beyond fluoridated toothpaste and mouthwash.

First let me be clear: I'm not a crazy conspiracy person (...on this) I just don't rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college.

That said, is fluoride a benefit to adults or just children?

When I was a kid I got fluoride treatments at the dentist, but then aged out. I've never had a cavity in forty years, but I'd like to keep it that way. Should I still be doing it?

Also no, I'm not using the internet as a substitute for a dentist, just my next dental appointment is in four months. TIA
