Oh I’m Azorean so maybe that’s why I didn’t think of that… We’re not inbred!!!

Portuguese here. I don’t think we have that at all. I guess rural areas in general get that wrap a little bit but not really.

Do they? Well most people dislike dentists because it’s very uncomfortable to have someone messing about in your mouth, and many things dentists do (cleanings, some surgeries) hurt or leave you uncomfortable for a long time after, and most people think of it as mostly aesthetic. Compared to say, a surgeon that might be similar but is saving your life, or a family medicine doc that at most puts a piece of wood on your tongue.

Also, dentists go to dentist school, not med school (in most countries at least). Dent is easier to get into, and is usually a shorter time to get your degree. Some people think this devalues dentistry, and say dentists aren’t as good as “regular” doctors because of that. It’s not valid, dentists are very good at what they do, so don’t stress it.

you could just post the alt link directly no?

And how do you determine the truth, exactly?

There isn’t a magical bell that rings when someone lies. Science changes, public consensus changes, new facts surface, and opinions are just opinions.

Of course if an MP makes an easily disproven statement that’s one thing, but most things that could be said are complex and very hard to define as either true or false.

I don’t necessarily disagree that there should be extra checks for truth in politics, but I don’t really think there can be such a thing, objectively.

I wish this was me.

another reason to never have sex?

Not under capitalism. I believe happiness is achievable though, maybe not in the sense of “constant euphoria” though. I think a lot of people misunderstand what it is to be happy… To be healthy, glad to see another day, and fulfilled. To me, that’s happiness.

I totally didn’t expect this!! WOW

Oh I’m so sorry :x

British people are real?

Well, that’s all great. But the big problem with these kinds of platforms is always that hosting all this data (especially videos) is extremely expensive. It’s not necessarily impossible that donations+ads+subs can cover all the infrastructure costs, but generally there’s a need for some sort of big capital backing. Open Source is not something that gets that sort of private investment.

But hey maybe. I’d absolutely love that.

The model is pretty successful anyway, some people here have mentioned Pixiv and Nebula.
