Oh yeah, I was in that hell pit growing up and trying to get through college. The hell pit is awful. There is an even worse hell pit for disability benefits.

I really don't believe in the temporarily embarrassed millionaire. I just think people are that stupid. They hear tax increase and never look further.

What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? in c/games@lemmy.world

[-] Tedrow@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

That would be great. A new Gauntlet Legends game would be great.

I'm pretty sure that's just social anxiety and not being an introvert.

Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? in c/games@lemmy.world

Check out Larian's other masterpiece, Divinity: Original Sin II. Original Sin I is great as well, but a little dated.

Why use The White House executive chef, when the athletes can have cold mass-produced food? It's not weird. in c/political_weirdos@lemmy.world

Nah, it's still as shitty as it appears. Dude could have at least hired a catering company.

You can run through the campaign in a few hours, so there's very little time investment. Give it a shot!

What's something that's made you feel like a grown-up? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Tedrow@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I recently had new rain gutters installed on my house, had my trees trimmed, had my patio paved, and bought a power bank. I'm fucking adulting damnit.

But why? Poor hygiene, people being immature, why?

Teeth Whitening? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Tedrow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I have been told by my dentist that it can permanently damage your tooth enamel. I did a quick search and found an NIH study on enamel softening. It looks at hardness, but that is all. I only read the object and the abstract, but that part didn't mention enamel thickness. The study mentions that hardness is restored after about a week.

I would generally advise caution and just take your dentists advice about these things. I will admit I am generally biased about this and it definitely can be harmful if not done correctly.

I think comparing whitening to bathing and using deodorant is calling it normal hygiene. Not bathing literally leads to worse health outcomes.

That being said, you're correct, I definitely have a strong bias towards this. I have been told by my dentist to not do it because it is damaging to the enamel. Consulting your dentist is definitely a good move.

A lot of people do it, but I would lump it in with getting a facelift. You definitely don't need to do it and it doesn't make you healthier.

How do you guys deal with parenting? My wife had work events all weekend last week so I had to be on point 100% and then continue to all week. Now this weekend we had a girl scout hike and my wife wanted to go to a special event with me in the evening. I haven't had time for any real solitude for two weeks and am mentally/emotionally drained.

How do you guys deal with this? I feel like a bad parent/partner for not being excited for these things or feelings negative about doing them. Am I expecting too much from myself? I don't know, thanks for reading anyway.
