  • After a couple of good cleanings and a few months of using a good toothbrush and flossing, I can say that my gums don’t bleed easy anymore, not even at the dentist.

    The reason they bleed so easily when the dentist jabs at them, is cause they’re irritated from all the plaque buildup and improper cleaning.




  • Did you seriously ask that about Laos?? Are you that ignorant?

    Laos is a source, and to a lesser extent, a transit and destination country for human trafficking. As a criminal activity, trafficking in person is difficult to evaluate and statistics documenting the scale of this subject in Laos are poor. International surveys estimate that between 200,000 and 450,000 people are trafficked annually within the Greater Mekong Subregion.

    Or do you think pointing out a dangerous place isn’t PC? I’m from El Salvador and a few years back I would have told you to stay away from that gang filled, dangerous shit hole. Are you gonna defend me from my own comment about my own people?


  • I can sense your seething hate for poor people through your comment. Keep your bigotry to yourself. My comment referred to them backpacking through one of the deadliest places on earth and calling it an “adventure”. I wonder how fun the adventure is for the people in Laos who deal with human trafficking daily

    You rich kids go to bad places, step over poor and dying people and ignore the suffering while you go “wow what an adventure!”


  • That’s why I didn’t say he was stupid. I asked if he had a learning disability which is not a taboo thing and it doesn’t mean you’re stupid. If anything I complimented him on his motivation and determination. You were just out to find something to get mad and offended over so you interjected that into my comment, even though I didn’t say that. I see that happening a lot lately with Americans. They all wanna be offended so they can moralize



  • Why do these privileged kids go to the deadliest places on earth just for adventure? It’s kind of offensive tbh

    Edit:

    McKenzie let’s go on an adventure in one of the most dangerous places on earth! People are dying of poverty but just step over them and see how pretty that sunset.

    I know you Lemmy kids don’t like to hear it, but us people raised in the third world think you’re idiots running around backpacking through dangerous places with Dad’s money









  • I’m not even American, I’m Canadian. Things are a shit show here too. I didn’t get PTO, vacation pay or sick days until I joined a union. So this was before then. I remember my second job was working part time at a hospital for a while, which are run by the government, and I still had no PTO or any sort of protection or benefits.


  • He was half Roman half Phoenician which was a Semitic people, so problems swarthy and tanned. There was one called Philip the Arab, who was born in an Arab province, but I don’t think his ethnicity is known. Trajan was an earlier Emperor so the fact that he was a Spaniard provincial and not Italian was a bit of a scandal at the time.

    Ex slaves, sons of slaves and other ethnic peoples could climb the ranks of Roman society and get pretty rich and respected in their own right. But there was always a ceiling for those seen as outsiders, Even in the military.
