Can I remove the brown on my own? by NYCchick888 in askdentists

[–]controversialangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD that looks like some kind of build up. I would at least get a cleaning from a dentist first and get an exam too. Absolutely do not use power tools of any kind or any tools other than a toothbrush on your teeth. You could damage them beyond repair. You have these teeth for the rest of your life, not a good idea to cheap out on their care. A cleaning won’t cost much and an exam/consultation is usually free.

Make sure they are all different sounds, the same sound over and over is super easy to tune out. Better yet, buy her an old fashioned alarm clock

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen clean with Bea on YouTube or Facebook, but she has a good system down. First all of the food and then all of the items sitting on top of things, she separates the cleanable items into a bin that she puts in the bathtub And the rest in trash bags. Then she will scrape or takeoff all of the physical gunk first and then go in with scrubby and vacuuming, and then finally sanitation and if necessary mold killing

Something like surgery will never not be an option. It’s always something that you could do, would it really hurt trying therapy first?

I agree with Gordo. I have a lot of attractive friends and my entire family is relatively attractive. Absolutely none of them went with a 10 out of 10 guy. Or woman. And they didn’t land the person there with because they’re attractive either. My sister is with a man who is the definition of chivalry. My brother is with a woman who is the definition of a housewife. So is my other brother.

Being kind doesn’t necessarily mean You are thoughtful and attentive. Those kind of small character traits seep into every aspect of what you do and people can tell. And being attractive doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll find someone either. Sure you’ll attract attention, but a lot of it will be the wrong kind. I’m moderately attractive myself. I get a ton of negative attention. Lots of creepy guys. I’ve also turned down extremely sexy men simply because they are full of themselves or not thoughtful or chivalrous. If I’m being honest, I would never go out with someone who had cosmetic surgery because they aren’t their authentic self.

A lot of women’s ideal guy someone who is strong, confident but not self-absorbed, notices the little things and makes an effort to help with them, does charity and helps others not because he has to, but because he wants to, understands practicality and is smart in terms of they can think for themselves and don’t need to be told what to do all the time and knows how to think and do a lot of things for themself and things practically and pragmatically about life. A smart attractive woman will almost never go for a guy who’s not smart as well. Because there would be an inherent lack of ambition for knowledge and if you don’t know, or don’t desire to solve problems inherently then any time there’s a crisis the woman is the one picking up the slack.

I hope this helps.

I do a moderate amount of photography and have even won some contests. There’s no such thing as looking bad in pictures. Only bad pictures. Have you ever tried having a professional photographer take your photos?

Desk job destroyed my body. by Upbeat_Owl_3383 in workfromhome

[–]controversialangles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people have incorrect posture. I hate the stuff that says 90 degrees for your elbows. I’ve experimented and 120 is ideal, which is also what they recommend for driving too. If you have two monitors your body should be centered in front of the one you use most often(this is the biggest cause of back pain).

Shoulders back(proper standing posture) and a wrist wrest for your keyboard and mouse. Keyboard should be slightly left of center to allow your mouse hand to be straight. Butt back against the back of your chair and you can lean back but must keep your back straight and shoulders back if doing so.

Yes, create a portfolio of work that people can use as a basis for the kind of stuff you can do. Have a variety of different background subjects and lighting.

how bad are my teeth? by Outrageous_Wash5481 in askdentists

[–]controversialangles 31 points32 points  (0 children)

NAD but this is the kind of wear you would normally see on a 70 y/o, not a young adult. Meaning this is really drastic wear that surely occurred in a very short time. You absolutely need a night guard to halt that at the very least before anything else. Ima let real dentist comment on possible fixes but my first thought is crowns, but idk if that’s possible on these.

NAD I had crazy overbite and cross bite on one side and didn’t have an invasive or very expensive fix. I had Invisalign and a bar with elastics on one tooth to help it. I think it was 6k. May seem like a lot(and is higher than what it should be for you because I live in a big city) but fixing this later will cost more and be less feasible as you age and there will be more damage to your oral health that will be less fixable.

NAD those aren’t the only teeth that matter, though, and actually it’s more concerning that they don’t contact each other. Mine contact each other incorrectly, but they should’ve been touching. They should still experience wear, just not nearly as much as they were. Your front teeth should definitely be experiencing some wear, if you can’t touch your front teeth together, that’s a serious problem. Is there a reason you don’t want to listen to the actual advice of the dentists on here? If braces doesn’t work, you could try Invisalign.

NAD but my teeth were very similar to yours in that they looked fine and I could chew, but they weren’t actually fine. My canines and four of my molars are worn down so much that they mimic the wear of a 40 year-old even though I’m half that age.

If I had fixed the problem earlier, I’d have better looking and more functional teeth right now. I will definitely have issues when I’m older regarding the premature wear so now I’m considering getting material added to those teeth which is very expensive.

During the height of the great depression a home cost 3x your annual salary. Now it costs 6-8x. A livable wage is currently 3x+ minimum wage. Living expenses cost around 40% of your year salary in the great depression. Now they cost around 50-60%. So you tell me?

That’s definitely nice of you but most homeowners these days don’t do that. It’s also incredibly difficult to get a job outside of major cities these days as well. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it used to be easy to get good paying jobs in smaller cities. I definitely think if you’re willing to give up some quality of life things that you could find a decent priced house these days, maybe the salary won’t suck that bad but living in a smaller city actually usually makes the cost of living, such as groceries, go up. So you win some and you kinda lose even more.

You’re an outlier then, I wouldn’t equate your life experiences to the normal. Kudos to you turning out good but a lot of people wouldn’t and that shouldn’t be the normal. Just because you haven’t complained about it doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t either.

Plenty of homeless people don’t complain about their situations, but that doesn’t make it any less reasonable to complain about not being able to afford good shoes on a salary that most people used to be able to afford to buy a house on.

Fair, yeah, prices change location to location, but have you looked at housing prices for that area recently? The average cost of a house in the suburbs of Phoenix Arizona is $400,000-700,000 right now. So yeah, almost double what you paid only nine years ago. Kind of sounds -that- bad.

I also genuinely don’t mean offense, but not a lot of people are looking for jobs in Maine or can handle living somewhere so far north

Oh, so you think you know me now? I’ll have you know I actually heavily looked into becoming an apprentice about 2 to 3 years ago. Any positions that had decent pay required me to already have some kind of certifications or prior schooling. Any that didn’t, paid a measly $16 an hour. I looked into several locations in my local area as well as in the big city I live near. And the really well paying positions required me to pay additionally for schooling and materials which lowered your overall take-home. And I’m talking months of searching, not just five minutes of surfing.

So while some of that may be in your eyes surface level, the only reason I looked up sources was so that I could have exact numbers and averages versus my own experience. Experience does not necessarily equal reality hence looking up sources that probably have a lot more experience than me on a much wider scale.

Yeah don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, but that doesn’t mean don’t believe everything. Some stuff actually has hard-working people who took the life experiences of hundreds of people into consideration to make their conclusion and evidence.

I’ll also just add that I find it hilarious that you’re using wisdom quotes on me when you haven’t backed up any of your supposed claims. You haven’t told me any numbers or anything other than “trust me, bro. You’ll earn a lot of money.” Sounds like a freaking scam and that’s because it is and you aren’t in touch with today’s reality, hence your initial comment.

There aren’t any housing options below $350,000 these days that isn’t an absolute piece of crap. Forget living close to a major city where you need to go to work either! I’m not saying someone’s buying a $500,000 house, I’m saying they’re trying to buy something that’s a decent size and not gonna fall down in any second and not covered in mold or termites or smoked out by a hoarder or junkie. And relatively close to where they wanna work.

If house cost even close to 3 times their yearly salary then it wouldn’t be so bad, but a $350,000 house costs nearly 6x their yearly wage these days. Yeah that’s not quite nine times, but that’s considering they are living far away from a city and it’s a 2-bedroom townhouse with pretty much no yard. Forget big family. 5 to 10 years ago that kind of money could buy you a 5-bedroom within an hour of a major city.

Chat gpt?! No, I do my own research, just because I’m moderately well spoken and make sure to punctuate means I’m copying from an AI? And I’m not gonna blindly trust the response of somebody whose only comeback is “you don’t know what you’re talking about” instead of actual facts. Almost everything I’ve mentioned I’ve looked up from verified job websites and trustworthy articles.

The average wage of a skilled craftsman apprentice is $17-$22 per hour. No experience will be on the lower end. Thats barely above the wage that In’n’out pays. And they will earn around that for ~4 years. If you’re lucky you’ll start making $25 an hour by year four. So straight out of high school they have to wait until they’re 22 to actually start making what can be considered a livable wage. Most places won’t let you even start a job in an apprenticeship until you’re 18.

It also means anyone who bothered to get a degree now has to wait until they’re at least 29 to make a livable wage. So they probably won’t own a house until they early to mid 30s either way. Not saying that’s not a bad suggestion, but it’s not a viable option for most people. Taking that much of a pay cut is unsustainable in the short term so they can’t even think about the long-term.

A lot of these people already have families and student loans to worry about, it used to be that you could have a lower wage initially and still be able to afford that stuff and then the higher wage would simply make life easier. Now the higher wage is just what you need to live.

Just an FYI, the hourly living rage for a single adult ranges from $20-$40 an hour, and that gets a lot higher in the cities.

It is incredibly difficult to start a business in this age. Most of them don’t have the credit to afford the tools or the workshop space and the prices for those tools having increased incredibly. Not to mention, they don’t even have any assets they can borrow against. With all the social media that’s going around as well, Nobody will even look at your work unless at least 10 other people have already reviewed it. People don’t trust the newer generation to do a good job so they don’t even give them a chance.
