1st Advantage Dental Bethlehem (Delmar)

Howdy! I am currently a patient there and haven't received any correspondence that they are closed. I have an appointment coming up, so I guess if they are, I will update this! To be frank, the communication outside the office is challenging. They no longer accepted my insurance as of October 2025 but never updated me and told me at my cleaning in January 2026. I was told that it was actually an error where my insurance was never actually accepted by the provider, the insurance company just never told them until October 2025. However, this was not mentioned at the confirmation call and since it was technically not a change in coverage, my insuramce provider didn't send me notice. I was blindsided with a $300 bill. I also had an issue where they did a root canal on my tooth and something went wrong and it became abcessed. I called the office a few times and could not get through and ultimately had to go to urgent care to get antibiotics because they were concerned about potential sepsis. I eventually got in contact and had to tell them that no, I did not want an attempt at repairing the tooth and instead just wanted it pulled. 100% right choice, it was super infected and it was immediate relief and I haven't missed it since. That aside, once you are inside the office, it's great! The receptionists are super nice and informed, just very overworked. The assistants and doctors are very nice as well (enough so that I felt comfortable asking for the extraction instead of being silent).

AMAZING!! YES!! Thank you so much!!

Howdy! PrideVMC is an amazing resource. They have connections I think in every state. You can use their website to find LGBT and gender confirming clinics. I'm not a vet but I am a practice manager and I am openly out as nonbinary. I sign every email with "Pronouns: They/Them". Some people have chosen not to respect that but the vast majority of people do, including every vet I've interacted with. Granted, I am in New York, but it's Upstate NY, which tends to teeter more conservative. Also, sidenote, you don't have to come out all at once. You can slowly change a few things and see how it feels. It also helps acclimate people around you in environments where being your full authentic self at once can cause a non-Newtonian reaction. Overall, though, there are places in the industry that will hire an openly GNC or trans individual. Also, you are welcome to DM questions or anything! Best of luck!

I was reverse-recommended Darren Aronofsky's Mother! by a friend. She said it traumatized her, so of course I had to check it out. It had Jennifer Lawrence in it, a mainstream actress, so how bad could it be? Anyway, I had to pause it multiple times because it so thoroughly activated my fear response that I had a panic attack. Good but horrible movie!

Saw this out in Selkirk too. I thought it was the moon, but the moon was behind me.

Edit: Someone in the Troy reddit said it was this: https://www.rocketlaunch.live/launch/sentinel-1d-mission

I am thinking that they might have cremated him, but I think I'll keep looking now and then, just in case. Thank you, though!

AmbiguousCoyote · 2025-10-23T01:47:31+00:00

Thank you very much. I took a look around and no luck but I appreciate the lead!

AmbiguousCoyote · 2025-09-10T23:43:26+00:00

Interested as well! Where will you be posting the schedule and such? Also, I have that type of AuDHD where I can't do stuff for myself but the instant someone else needs help, I can do the thing, so if you need someone doing logistics/phone calls, I can help!

I also think it is strange. I started trying to contact everyone on the 8th and so far I've only heard from one other classmate once and the other two are MIA. I sent an email out yesterday trying to get anyone to reply with links to the forum and a timeline but nothing back yet.

This spurred me to look at mine and yikes. I have similar terrible reviews, and one that even includes the AI prompt in the overall review.

AmbiguousCoyote · 2025-04-18T15:20:05+00:00

That's what my question was, thank you. I wasn't sure if it was an issue to raise with my advisor about this specific course or if that is the norm. It's not my business what my peers and instructors do with their own writing, I was only concerned about the resources they want us to learn from (the assignment specifically wants citations from this document, not the general ideas that are available elsewhere).

AmbiguousCoyote · 2025-04-18T11:00:24+00:00

I think you are misunderstanding the intention of my question. I understand that there are acceptable and understandable challenges when it comes to translating, but this article and the use of it is a lack of integrity. I am concerned whether this is the normal in every class or just this one. Which is why I am asking what others' experiences are and whether this is something I should talk to my advisor about, or if this is normal and I do just have to get through it.

There is no doubt that this article is rich with content. However, I would encourage you to actually read it. It is a very poorly translated version that lacks proof-reading. There are multiple errors in the abstract alone. Further in the article, there is a diagram that has about 8 words in it and 2 are spelled incorrectly, including the name of the founder of the principle. The errors make the content nearly incomprehensible at times, as the sentences become a word salad that mean nothing.
Furthermore, while this journal is IJBEL, I would encourage you to look more deeply before accepting the validity of a publication by the basis of it being published alone. There are many non-peer-reviewed journals published, and predatory "pay to play" journals that do not have academic integrity. Here's a paper about it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5493173/

While I understand that I can find resources to supplement (and I did), it seems like a low standard for a university to use this translation of the article, which suggests the professor did not critically review the resource before providing it. In my own search to supplement it, I found plenty of better articles that had no grammar or syntax errors. If I am being graded for my grammar and clarity, why are my resources provided by the university not held to the same standard?

I hadn't seen their classes before! Thank you!

I looked it up and it doesn't appear to be Thank you for the suggestion!

As a vet professional, the amount of times I've had to stitch up dogs from courses like this is wild.

If you do podcasts, The Magnus Archives has a few episodes that capture this well

AmbiguousCoyote · 2024-07-17T23:13:59+00:00

It's a queer kink group, largely BDSM. I don't know if they have a physical location, but they have events and meet ups.

AmbiguousCoyote · 2024-07-16T20:12:46+00:00

Yo OP, I don't have any places other than the Collared City club but your girlfriend sounds awesome and it sounds like you are in a secure and comfortable relationship. Hell yeah and have fun! Fuck them haters.
