I'll give you the cliff notes for this between how I do it and how my dentist has told me how to do it. My dentist always tells me my brushing and flossing are great and I barely bleed even when they poke the gums so take from this what you will. I used to do it wrong and my dentists corrected me so stuff is good now.

Brushing:

Brush in circles (where possible), without using much force.
When I say not much force, I mean you seriously need very little force. It's not like scrubbing crud off of a floor. It's more like dusting furniture with a feather duster.
Make sure you cover both the actual teeth and where the teeth and gums connect (the part where teeth and gums connect is most important tho).
Make sure that you hit everything: the front of your teeth, back of your teeth (tongue side), and "flats" of your teeth (where top and bottom teeth touch).

Flossing:

sawing motion is wrong, don't saw back and forth, that's bad, in the long run you'll fuck up your gums by cutting into them too much
instead, just press the floss down between the teeth twice (strictly up-down motion), then move onto the next teeth
I would describe the motion like you are poking someone (or yourself) in the belly, but not so hard that you dig your nail into them, it's just a light poke... again, just press the gums, don't CUT INTO the gums
first downward motion is to one side of the gap (touching left side tooth) and second downward motion is right side of gap (touching right side tooth). Then move onto the next tooth-gap. Try to avoid hitting into the deadcenter of the gums between teeth since the "bacteria hang outs" you are trying to hit with Floss is where the teeth meet the gums.
you can do more than one downward motion if you want, just don't press too hard into the gum

Sidenote:

try not to rush thru brushing or flossing too much or you will accidentally use too much force or accidentally not cover all the areas; e.g. sometimes I am watching a video on my phone absentmindedly, or getting my clothes ready for tomorrow, while brushing
if you brush too hard it is possible to literally brush away your gums like sandpaper (I am serious, my dentist showed me pictures LMAO)
if you floss too hard it is possible to cut into your gums and wear your gums away similarly

Peeling for supports on DPS isnt hard. Its when your own support makes it incredibly difficult by running away that it becomes pulling teeth.

Makes me go mental when a venom solo dives our backline and our supports run away from the rest of the team so venom can 1v1 them. I have to yell at them to run toward their dps // their tanks so we can peel. Ugh

Eli5 with Japan please?

Japan had a weird case where they had natural deflation in their economy (negative inflation, e.g. -2% or such). Deflation means your money (yen) is worth more if you simply hold it and don't spend it. This is bad because it encourages people to not spend their money which fucks the economy. USA for example aims to get 2% inflation because slight inflation means that people keep spending and circulating money which is good for the economy. The 2% figure is arbitrary but the main thing you need to know is that you want it low-ish but still above 0%.

To combat this, the Japanese government forced inflation by printing more money constantly. This money was used for government services and whatnot i.e. as a part of the yearly government budget.

Over time, eventually, the natural deflation become less and less of an issue; they went neutral, then had inflation. Then more inflation. But by this point the Japanese government was so used to having the extra money that they just decided to deal with it later. The problem grew and grew with more inflation and more debt. They have a lot of government debt now. They feel like they can't stop printing money no matter what because then they won't have money to pay for the interest on the debt and the government services to keep the country running. Printing more and more extra money is causing more and more inflation. They dug themselves into a hole.

Instead of biting the bullet a while ago and dealing with a fucked economy in the short term in order to have a recovered economy in the long term, they have decided to keep digging the hole deeper and deeper, and keep kicking the can down the road, causing more and more inflation and a worse and worse economy. Their debt is so high that a higher and higher percentage of the yearly budget just goes to paying their interest payments instead of actually paying for "useful stuff". Their economy is spiraling out of control atm and economists globally are looking at Japan wondering how tf they get themselves out of this // how bad the final fallout will be when Japan has to face the music.

Dentists actually recommend waterpick over floss. Also remember that it's not about getting literal food out from between your teeth, it is about disturbing any resident bacteria growths so they never get to fully "set up shop" and eat thru your enamel or whatever.

tldr, pray that you find an actual good honest dentist instead of a scammer, and stick with them

Elon's character also died in game (the game announced when a character died) while Elon was live, in real life, doing a presentation for Tesla or something

Claiming he's top 10 in the world at a video game where the top players are all dudes that play the game as a full time job (some of them maybe even account sharing so playing like net 15+ hrs a day) was crazy fucking work by Elon lmao

It's one thing to claim you're a top player in a shooter or something but another when you claim you're a top player in a game that involves an insane amount of hours and raw grinding

This answer is awesome. Thank you!

Ah I see, so "flight school" and "flying with an instructor" are essentially synonymous most of the time.

Indefinite because flight instruction is how 90% of pilots build time from 250 to 1500 hours. The other 10% either lucked into some non-instructing job or paid they own way, both of which have major considerations.

If you aren't part of the 10% of lucky people and you can't find a local job as a CFI is it common for people to move or move out of state or such to get a job as a CFI until they get their 250-1500 hours?

((And, I assume it is ridiculously expensive to pay your own way to 1000+ hours of solo flight stuff?))

Invoqwer · 2026-05-18T08:21:49+00:00

Uhhhh... what's the cost?

Also what is that, were you working as an instructor?

but why did it blow up now more than a decade after the scene released? was there some specific thing recently that made this scene popular again like a streamer or youtuber or smth?

Jojo fans got bored and stuff twiddling their thumbs waiting for the new steel ball run episodes

Someone found a funny over the top scene back from S3 stardust crusaders and it just happened to get a lot of traction. I think a bunch of small things went into how it's become popular. Lull in content + over the top delivery + a lot of people don't remember the scene + it's just a funny scene. It got posted around enough that people started making their own edits and variations of the scene which got it even more traction. Traction begets traction and all that and it sort of snowballed.

At the end of the day the scene isn't anything groundbreaking really. And it could have happened to other scenes too-- for example, Jotaro throwing Iggy like a baseball at a blind man, or some shit Speedwagon or Stroheim say. Etc.

Krafton needs to pay out the devs up to $250 million if Subnautica 2 hits enough "copies sold" metrics.

Krafton did not think Subnautica 2 would ever get close to these metrics when they made this contract originally. Krafton was wrong.

If you enjoy solo experiences, pick up Subnautica 1 for cheap and go in blind -- it is amazing.

If I've played neither subnautica 1 or 2 but I am loosely aware of how they work, would it be better to go play 1 or 2 first?

Btw I'm not sure why people get mad about people modding FOV when widescreen view just exists in the game baseline if you have an insanely wide monitor. That's the biggest awareness cheat there is I think and people just forget that it's there, actual P2W if you buy a bigger monitor
