I wouldn't tell anyone I won the lottery but there would be signs
Yeah after 25 years of zero dentist visits I have my first toothache this week. I'll never financially recover from this.
A cocaine addition is possibly cheaper 😅😢
The spot price for gold at the moment today 2024/3/4 is about $66 USD a gram. If anybody reading this is doing or has been doing drugs, remember if you are paying around 65 a gram (Average Cocaine and Heroin pricing) you are essentially throwing gold in the trash with every hit. I ask that those who think current drug policy is effective think of this fact, drugs are literally worth their weight in gold despite being illegal.
Damn, I went 10 without going. Had to suddenly go because a molar started crumbling. 3 years, 4 crowns and 2 new fillings later, Im doing a bit better now...
Oof, yeah... A cleaning and exam is $100-300 in the US. A root canal is $600-1600. Crowns are $1100-1700.
It's worth it to hit up the dentist at least every few years... Ideally 1-2 times a year.
Insurance is bullshit, though. It's a racket that's evolved only to favor the insurance companies. My dentist literally told me this.
Get insurance if you know you've got bad teeth, or a problem, though!

For the love of god, don't let it get worse. Had to wait months and 2 rounds of antibiotics to get mine removed after it got infected.
Worse pain I experienced, it just never eases up till your medicated.
Dude this is literally me. As soon as I finished med school and started residency I got LASIK. A year after that I got Invisalign. And resident physicians don't make a lot montey but it was enough to change my looks.
I kinda wanna get invisalign. Im still kinda leery of LASIK, but it sounds interesting.
I'm definitely getting lasik maybe after I finish school and get my first high paying job
check out moneybags here with dental insurance
They'd be paying out of pocket with lottery winnings, I think you missed the point
With how dental insurance is done in the US, it’s almost the same regardless if you have insurance or not.
I'm not even American and they are the first things I would do if I won the lottery.
If I won the lottery, no one currently in my life would ever see or hear from me again.
If I won the lottery, I’d try not to really change much about my lifestyle. I’d work the same job, drive the same car. I’d pay my house off, but otherwise treat the lottery money as retirement and/or an emergency fund and earn some extra money off the interest (interest alone off a few million sitting in a money market account might be decent). Otherwise, I’d try to act like nothing happened, just live a relatively comfortable life, but still work, albeit with less stress.
There are rare instances where people don't hate and despise their job and bosses. Rare, but in your case, it does happen. For the vast majority of us we'd afford nutritious food, get in to see a medical professional, and afford a home...while loud-quitting and telling the boss to fuck himself.
I haven't won the lottery, and no one in my life sees or hears from me already.
Not even me?
So you'd do things that are free in half of Europe + shopping?
Therapy is free in my (European) country... if you can find a vacancy or pay it yourself. So it isn't.
Dentist are still pretty expensive where I live (West Europe), if you need anything more than basic care, you will pay €€€ and insurance won't pay much.
True, but at least, the focus is highly on prevention and check ups now, which are free, which should reduce the need for crazier stuff more and more.
I haven't won the lottery and I already do all of these in the USA. My wife and kids go to the dentist as needed, as do I, and we go to the doctor anytime we need to. Our health and dental insurance are good, but we could still get medical / dental care without it if needed.
Is that a common dentist stance? I don't ever remember one straddling my head in their crotch
Every one of OP's friends - "Your smile is lovely! Can I borrow 10 grand?"
Finally getting my Luxury Bones fixed.
Gringos gonna gringate.
Medical care is single-payer in Canada, and we pay one-half the amount in our taxes with zero co-pays and deductibles on top of that for pretty much identical to slightly superior medical outcomes.
But yeah, the other three track up here as well.
squints eyes Is this... is this Loss???
most of yall don't need therapy and it comes off as weak that everyone jokes about it like you're all broken.
this is why the conservatives will win. toughen up folks. i need yall to be ready.
EDIT - i see that lemmy is just as soft as reddit. it's fine. ya'll will be the ones with the boot mashing your face in, not me.
Why does it bother you? Doesn't affect you in anyway. Seems like you should go talk to someone about why this bothers you.
Because he wants a war. Like literally an accelerationist idolizer. He can't wait for a chance to show how tough he is.
it bothers me because i need allies. i don't want a bunch of limp-wristed soy boys beside me when it comes time to mash fascist heads in.

toughen up folks.
Common notion - until people need therapy themselves and realize it can hit everyone, also the "tough" ones.
there are absolutely people that need therapy. i just don't think the majority of us do.
Lol do conservatives not go to therapy? Are you drawing political lines around health care?! Bro, go outside.
As a general rule, Conservatives don't believe in mental health. Mental illness is thought of as a personal failing, and an issue to be solved by an individual "toughening-up".
i don't know because i'm not a conservative.
Gotta pull yourself up by the boot straps
