  • What’s really strange to me, is that for all the expertise around dentistry, AFAIK there has never been an actual evidence-based study for how long and how often you should brush and floss.

    Its literally the most important piece of dental advice they could study, and no research has been done. How much plaque builds up on average when only brushing once per week, once per month? It makes me question the whole discipline and wonder if they don’t just say “brush 10 times a day” in order to sell more dental products.

    Maybe they’d discover that actually you only need to brush twice a week, and floss twice a week. Maybe it ends up being flossing every day, and brushing once a month… who knows.

    What has changed since then? I’d understand your point completely if Biden was no longer supporting genocide of Palestinians.

    When someone is being consistent with something they said years ago, it adds nothing to say, “but context”.

    If I posted about how Biden supported racially segregated busing, and was against gay marriage, then you might have a point in claiming context, since the democratic party has opportunistically changed its mind on those.












  • Western media are experts at lying to manufacture consent for wars and xenophobia against all their enemies too. As we’ve seen over the last week, they’re all to ready to accept it without questioning.

    The nariyah testimony, gulf of tonkin, colin powell holding up the fake proof of iraq’s “wmds”, and so many more that pro-US ppl are not yet ready to come to terms with, or question their own biases.
