“Teeth are pretty deadly” aaaaand yet most insurance doesn’t cover dental care because it’s not considered medical and any dental plans out there only cover the most basic things. Ridiculous.

[@carlosmarte3154]

steph soppanish The reasoning for that is because it’s easy and relatively cheap to keep your teeth healthy. It’s as simple as brushing, flossing, and rinsing twice a day while making sure to stay away/limit caustic foods. The same cannot be said of infectious diseases that one usually has no control over avoiding.

[@carlosmarte3154]

Alejandro - Healthcare is most certainly not a right. The reasoning is solid from the insurance company’s standpoint. They shouldn’t have to pay out for something that, barring rare circumstances, is easily avoidable in the 21st Century.

[@carlosmarte3154]

Alejandro - Not all, but a great deal of dental issues are due to poor habits. The same can be said of obesity. Companies should not have to bear the brunt for negligent clients that smoke, eat caustic foods, or fail to brush twice-daily and floss between meals. All of those brought dental disease on to themselves. People tend to think that corporations are these otherworldly entities; they’re nothing more than a collection of people (you know, those things you care so much about?) who need that profit to pay their mortgage and keep their lights on. You are correct on my assumption of the homeless. I come from a country where socioeconomic mobility is genuinely impossible. America truly is the land of opportunity, and anyone who is able-bodied can carve out a decent life for themselves here. This privileged capitalist ass came to this country at 19, worked 2 (sometimes 3) jobs, and lived out of a rented room in a basement. I eventually gathered enough for Community College, graduated, and found a nice job for myself. Fast forward 20 years and I’m living a life that would’ve been impossible for someone born to what you would call sharecroppers. Now it’s time to come full circle with my anecdotal story. As a broke immigrant working in a factory, I ran into plenty of those same underprivileged people you speak of. There’s a reason why many (not all, but a *great* deal) of them continue to live in mediocrity...and it isn’t because of some invisible force keeping them there. Poor life decisions lead to mediocrity, and poor dental hygiene leads to dental issues. My source for my original claim: www.dentalone-va.com/a-guide-to-dental-disease-prevention/

I took a three day swimming lesson as a kid, but even in those three days I couldn't get it down (the instructor literally had to jump in and save me at one point because I just kept sinking and treading water instead of moving through the water), and since I go years most of the time without getting to go "swimming," which for me is just wading in shallow water, I still can't swim well enough to save my life if I had to.

@@pandeomonia Dude... do you even history? Opium has been used by mankind since at least 3400 BC, if not much earlier. The Mayans were chewing coca leaves at 2000 BC. The Spanish conquest of most of south america would see this drug imported to Europe post-haste. While mostly in Spanish speaking communities originally had access to it. The French eventually caught wind of it and wanted in on the trade. It didn't become well known in the English speaking world until the early Victorian era. But that surely didn't mean it wasn't around. It simply wasn't universally known such as it is today.

Interesting to compare the super-cautious approach to mercury shown in laboratory conditions to the way it was handled even in my school days in the 1970s. Mercury was used in numerous experiments in physics classes and the main concern was the difficulty of recovering this expensive chemical if spilled. I recall in one case the tray on which the teacher was carrying out a demonstration was knocked and about half a pint of mercury spilled across the bench and onto the floor. We pupils then spent the rest of the lesson on our hands and knees helping the (not terribly happy) lab technician to collect the elusive liquid by scraping it onto folded pieces of paper drop by drop. If i recall correctly, about a quarter of the mercury was never recovered, presumably rolling into cracks and crevices to later evaporate into the school's atmosphere.

[@rulerworld1289]

😧 absolutely astounding

[@sarawatechnology7070]

Same thing happened in a class I was in. We were given mercury to roll around in our hand, and after we gave it back the beaker got spilled. But unfortunately the classroom floor had a slight slope to it so it all rolled to one side in little drops and disappeared under the molding at the bottom of the wall. We did not recover any of it and classes continued as normal

[@user-mn3yk6ym2m]

Yikes! I hope that classroom was very well ventilated. Touching mercury itself is not dangerous, it cannot penetrate through your skin to get absorbed into your body. Unless you have a cut for example. The vapors of it however are where the biggest risk is, because it is easily absorbed into your body through your lungs.
