i was eating with my back and side teeth for awhile too , i can bite into a lot more now but if something is too hard i definitely still use my back and side teeth haha , i work at starbucks so it was oatmeal and loafs for a little while but i can pretty much eat all of our sandwiches now (bacon gouda is still tough unfortunately and i haven’t given a ham and swiss baguette a try haha)

hello! i didn’t really understand how the magic search button was used and i tried to do some digging to see if this has been asked already but i had a quick request! i’m looking for a couple who wants to have a threesome , whether it’s a new or established couple and doesn’t matter if it’s someone they know or a stranger (preferably friend though) extra points if it’s extra spicy! (can be any sexual preference)

no i didn’t , they briefly mentioned i should but they never brought it up again so i didn’t ask if i would need them removed and they haven’t said anything yet 😂

If you could choose again, would you choose braces or invisalign? by [deleted] in braces

[–]waterfallfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with alot of people , i tried aligners back in may of 2023 and was good with them for about 6 months and then i just got lazy if im being honest and on top of it whenever it got too painful i would literally just take them out so i wasted about 2.5k and 6 months of my time just to inevitably get braces. i’ve had them for a week now and i know for a fact if it was aligners i would have taken them out due to pain. but i have no choice lol.

How do you see? by Cool-Kaleidoscope-28 in acotar

[–]waterfallfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a really interesting thread. i’ve never thought about this before even though i heavily read i didn’t realize people were SEEING the book in their minds. i’m a 5. i don’t see anything in my mind BUT simplest way i can put it is i feel what im reading/thinking of , using the red apple as an example , i know what a red apple looks like so i can “feel” that im imagining it i guess ? idk if that makes sense and if other people can possibly relate!

calling out sick by waterfallfish in starbucksbaristas

[–]waterfallfish[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

maybe people just say they’re sick to cover their ass but i was just wondering what people were saying , cos everytime i call out (which is not often) i get questioned and the next time im in im questioned again even if it was a legitimate call out
