Tooth Infection: Can literally kill you and wreck your overall physical health. United States: Dentistry is a frivolous cosmetic luxury which we should bar the poor from having. To even have access to a dentist should be a sign of affluence akin to some forms of plastic surgery. How else will we laugh at the poor and their disgusting toothless mouths which showcase how inferior and uneducated they really are in comparison to our pearly-smiled perfection? 

[lizziebeth157]

Like honestly?! I’m a nurse on a cardiac surgery unit. Do you have any idea how many patients I see every year have to go through open heart surgery to get a valve replacement because they got a tooth infection that caused endocarditis and vegetation on the heart valves? It’s appalling that people have to go through such a traumatic surgery when it could have been prevented by routine dental care.

I also once had a patient lose his fucking EYE because a tooth infection migrated into his sinuses and then his eye. And of course he had shit insurance so he didn’t get seen until it was too far gone for us to be able to save his eye. We did save his life but he was left without an eye and I can only imagine how much debt for that hospital bill.

The US healthcare system is so fucking broken.

Dentistry was the first form of medicine that humanity invented. That’s how seriously bad dental health can ruin someone’s health.

Im going absolutely feral over something really stupid im actually losing my mind

lgbt ppl force their lifestyle on ppl? Try telling a straight woman at a hair salon you, a woman, want a buzzcut

[itistired]

Ashckdb when I was getting my hair cut off I showed lady the picture and she went to my mom to ask and my mom was like “….she 19” and then lady argued with me about during the ENTIRE cut and everytime she cut it shorter she said “this is nice, right? Keep it like this” I DONT WANT A BOB KAREN JUST CUT IT OFF

Some people can lift 200 pounds. But if they carried it everywhere they went for an entire day without ever putting it down, they’d severely tear their muscles and cause permanent damage to their body.

Some people can enter a 140° car in the summer to get something out of the car. But if they stayed in the car, they’d die from the heat.

Some people can hold their breath underwater for 30 seconds. But if they tried to go scuba diving without the necessary gear, they’d drown.

Clearly, someone doing something for a short period of time does not automatically mean that they can do it indefinitely with no problem.

So why do people assume that if someone can walk for a few seconds, they don’t need a wheelchair?

Hi! Croatian here. As an inland country, I found a job processing uranium. We have a lot of it.

[mediumsizedboy]

God I wish I was processing uranium in Croatia

[theocseason4]

I think about this post every day

[tardis2101]

Hey, another Croatian here! Croatia has a coastline and I can’t find a single mention of uranium in Croatia. I don’t know what kind of paralel universe this person is from.

[hobgoblinhero]

one croation speaks only the truth, the other croatian speaks only lies, you must ask them one question to determine which is which, and apparently it can’t be about geography or uranium

The gaydar is a multifunctional tool and the straights not only don’t have it, they also think its only for spotting gay ppl

[pro-gay-deactivated20170112]

Other settings:

- Spotting homophobes before they speak - Spotting gays to avoid - Spotting iconic songs - Spotting the safest and quickest route back home so you don’t get beaten or killed after school & many more

[pro-gay-deactivated20170112]

What the straights have is a cheap imitation which is really downgraded and has only 1 function called “stereotyping”

[the-homebrew-hoard-blog]

Idea: Nat 1s, don’t have to be a fail, (I mean they are, but lemme explain)

So like let’s say your rolling to intimidate, you roll a one, as a dm, you can say “well, they are so unintimidted in the slightest, that they let you pass” or “they’re so unintimidted, they don’t even wanna fight you”, just something to add some spice to your life

[beelissa]

you roll a nat 1 on intimidate and the enemy goes 

‘‘oh, actually… are you alright? i don’t really want to hurt you, you… you need a lift home or something?‘‘

[the-homebrew-hoard-blog]

LMAO

[dukeofriven]

There’s a concept in DMing called ‘failing up.’* In essence, its about making NAt 1s more than just about ‘well you failed’ in such a way as the momentum of the story stops dead. Let’s say a thief, with proficency and levels and lots of skills, fails to pick a lock - a nat 1. The lock cannot be picked, the door cannot be opened, the narrative and momentum stops dead as the aprty has to stand around and discuss what happens next. In failing up, however, the DM changes the parametres so that a nat 1 becomes less about failure and more ‘success with consequences’ (similar to what Monster Of The Week has as a built-in mechanic’). The thief rolls a nat 1 - he picks the lock, but the lock breaks loudly enough to alert the guards, and sudden this stealth mission is turning pear-shaped. The fighter rolls a nat 1: he moves the heavy boulder, but he throws his back out, and the party has no time to stop and rest - for the next while he’s going to be disadvantaged on a lot of checks. The wizard rolls a nat 1 on their arcana - they know enough to read the spell, but not enough to pick-up the curse built into the text, and so on. Failure should not be dead-end, narratively. *Okay, the exact name escapes me for the moment and I’m having a damned hard time figuring out if my source was Matt Coville or The Angry GM or someone else, but failing up works just as well.

Oh jeez, 1000 notes!!! Thanks folks!

I just saw Ragnork for the 3rd time and this was all I could think of during the scene when Loki and Thor are in New York looking for Odin:

Presumably, Tony and the other Avengers are keeping an eye out for sightings of Thor and Hulk. Scanning the internet, news, social media etc for any sign that their friends are alive/back on earth. So imagine how confused they are when 1 selfie of Thor in casual clothes on a random New York street pops up on twitter with no explanation.  

[pedeka]

With Loki rolling his eyes in the background, OBVIOUSLY not in prison like Thor inferred he would be.
