My mom took away my orthodontic care as a punishment when I was a teenager, so I ended up removing my own braces.

Are you ok now?
I’m okay in that I’m an adult and will never interact with that woman ever again if I have it my way. I’m not okay in that I’m an underemployed trans man in the south.
I have epilepsy and probably TD from the time when she had me knocked out for 2 weeks on Resperdal as punishment for telling on her (she’d get too fucked up on weed and oxy to remember to pick me up from school.) PTSD specifically related to mental health care makes it very difficult to get mental health care, even if I had insurance. EMDR would probably be best for long term help, but my therapist is worried that it would trigger me to the point that I couldn’t function. I wanted to move out of state to get away from my triggers, but right now really I’m just trying to hold on to my apartment.
I’ll be okay when the child torture facility that helped her do that is closed down. Weed and art and Star Wars are here to remind me that it isn’t all pain.
Damn so it sounds like the answer was "no"
(Nothing but love btw)
Jesus what a shit parent. Sorry you had to deal with that. Hope you're better now and don't have that toxicity in your life
Americans do this to avoid paying for a procedure I paid less than one day's pay for and then dare call my country a shithole.
then dare call my country a shithole
Reminds me of the time I showed my American ex a popular Mexican pop song by an iconic band. He whips out another band playing that same song in English and gives me the side eye asking about plagiarism and my stinky little band making me feel terrible.
I go online years later and find out the thief was the American band all along. 🙄
Which song? I love it when that happens lol
It was the Mexican National Anthem
Did you at least inform of this to rub it in? I know it probably has been years and he dosen't remember but it sounds worth it if he does.
Oh, how I wish to be a petty asshole. But he was rather good to me in many ways and doesn't deserve it.
Keep in mind there's over a thousand ways this goes wrong and only one way that goes well.
So you're telling me there's a chance...
One trick big pharma hates: The man who cut out his own appendix
Step 1: Be a surgeon.
Well, shit.
Also want to point out that the only other option was to die.
What a lad.
and nothing of value was lost
root canal/filling
I dunno for sure but I feel like you should decide which one you’re gonna do before you start setting up. Especially if you’re DIYing it on the floor.
Don't you do one after the other? The root canal creates a hole you have to patch up.
Yeah. I’m just being a useless pedant in a shitpost because the author wrote / instead of +.
Yes, exactly.
Oh, man, the risk of infection in a bone is SO high, and can easily be fatal. Very bad idea. He'd be better off yanking the tooth.
Especially on that nasty carpet. Just because Voyager has carpet even in sickbay, doesn't mean that it is recommended
I actually have a question: on a scale from 1 to 10, what is your IQ?
Do they have fuji 9?
Wanted to post this as well. Bob′s stories in WILTY are hilarious and an absolute delight to listen to.
Meats and cheeses
Is that you, Bob?
Don't see any fuji 9
So, let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity, so be honest. How do you feel?
NOT TO 50!
*bear

Where's Wilson?
