Out of curiosity, what habits would you adopt? Flossing? Or is there something else doctors recommend? A cursory search seems to bring up rather regular dental hygiene.
I had all the habits, I just wasn't prioritizing them if I was tired or sleeping late due to school/work/stuff. I probably should have prioritized set times to do them each day irregardless of what I was doing. Plus, I didn't take seriously the habit to brush for several minutes instead of several seconds.
Not the OP, but on top of cleaning the gaps between teeth well, I started going to dental hygienist four times a year and the expense seems to be worth it.
Nowadays my gums just don't bleed ever, period, even when the hygienist is scrapping away calculus.
I wonder if there is a name for the phenomenon where people do something that leads to negative consequences but they technically "did everything right". I have a friend who crosses the street without looking both ways and his argument is that if a car hits him "they're in the wrong", as if an accident doesn't occur that way.

in the U.S there seems to be a hatred of pedestrians among the driver class, and a tendency for police to let even the most egregious drivers off the hook when a pedestrian gets killed (as long as it's not a hit and run), therefore this does not seem a good strategy.
However, and this is if they are in the U.S, perhaps they are mildly suicidal and thinking that if they get run over and killed it lets them off the hook for suicide and whoever ran them over gets a few problems which just serves those jerks right. The misanthrope's answer on how to ease out of life.
I worked with a group of other Americans in a part of Switzerland for a bit and we noticed that, even on relatively busy roads, if we even approached the curb from the sidewalk, cars would all come to a stop. Even if no formal cross walk area was nearby.
Most discussions are online now and the content generated by AI will most definitely make its way into the "real world". The recent case of people getting food poisoning to an AI-generated mushroom foraging book is a prime example.[0]
Great example of how not to name a show. I'd have at least a few other associations before clicking on it to see what it was actually about. Clark Kent? Clark and Gable?
Wouldn't something that describes who Olofsson is be a better title? Or am I just being picky for no reason?
I believe it's a cultural difference. It was a Swedish production and he's a lot more famous there. I can't say whether he'd be the first thing to come to mind when a Swedish person heard the name, but he'd be a lot higher on the list than in the US.
The guy is still alive and could perhaps sue for libel if they used his full name. An earlier Swedish movie about Olof Palme was probably libelous, but got away with it since his name was never used.
Sweden must have an exceptionally strange libel standard then, given that the series is explicitly about him: "This is the unbelievable story of Clark Olofsson, the controversial criminal who inspired the term "Stockholm syndrome." Based on his truths and lies.".
Sweden, is .. a strange country. Yes, its liberal. But at the same time. Its part of the old world, as in the ancient world, that was before the WorldWars. It had eugenics until the 2000s.
What do you have in mind with “… until the 2000s”?
According to Wikipedia:
“ Compulsory sterilisation in Sweden were sterilisations which were carried out in Sweden, without a valid consent of the subject, during the years 1906–1975 on eugenic, medical and social grounds.”
So the main sterilization program ended 1975. However:
“Between 1972 and 2013, sterilisation was also a condition for gender reassignment surgery.”
I honestly wouldn't have assumed any of those. "Clarks" is a very famous shoe brand in the UK, and here, Clark is a surname. Ironically, Clark Gable's real name was "William Clark Gable" apparently. So, Clark was actually more likely a surname.
I guess Clark Olofsson was also named after Clark Gable, as Clark is not a particularly Swedish name either.
> History and data from various European nations suggest that some immigrant groups aren't able to integrate with the host society after multiple generations, and remain ghettoized with low employment and high crime rates (vastly higher than the native population, for certain categories of crime).
Does it suggest that, though? It suggests that, in the specific conditions that were presented to those groups, they turned to crime. However, we can't pretend that the previous generations of immigrants had exclusively good experiences and quality of life, even in Europe. Obviously, some countries tried their best but in the past decades we had far less experience on proper integration (we as in the collective we, no country has worked out some perfect plan on it).
In fact, certain countries specifically created neighbourhoods (ghettos) for immigrant populations, all with positive intentions. Can't really blame the migrants for then becoming "ghettoized" in such a scenario. Granted, I know of other countries that specifically did not do that and still had struggles, which just goes to show how the whole thing is a minefield, where good intentions can clash with harsh reality.
NYT is still good at coverage, I'd just argue that the optics of their coverage can be removed from their original, erm, style, at times. (I don't want to say "politics" but we all know I mean politics.)
Still, they do excellent work to this day, just with questionable detours.
I highly doubt software that doctors use for patient notes and prescriptions would even have the option to enable autocorrect. If it does, that’s a giant oversight on the devs’ part.
It's a reference to their music, although a very poorly thought out one. But I don't think the result is entirely fair, as Fat Mike is a record label owner. That's not what one may think when you say "a job", these people are all middle-aged and aren't working the cash register at a Walmart or something like that. A job is a job, but NOFX are far past some idealistic idea of "live off the music, skip college" and whatever else people thought of them.
I'll say this, with the caveat that I never did finish the book due to unrelated reasons, this is an excellent method.
One may think "It's fine, I'll simply read the text and then, if I have questions, absorb some scholarly articles on it." Trust me, you will enjoy it so much more when you understand Joyce's intent and clever writing as it happens. You simply can't take it all in post-factum, too much would be missed.
That's a very good way of putting it. Songs evoke a very multifaceted sort of experience, I can't think of a better way to put it - they make both sides of the brain fire up. A good song causes me to rationally enjoy its lyricism and have strong feelings over its melody.
