Did you get all of them done at once? Mine grew in weird so i had one taken out, then another, then the last two over the course of a year. Always local freezing and no real after pain. I have a big mouth and big chompers though, I imagine some people they really gotta gently caress your mouth up to get them out properly

They only took out one tooth, I was given the same whatever that I usually get when I get a filling, swabbed down with cold goo or whatever, than an injection into the gums, then I stare at the ceiling while some profoundly horrific is probably happening to the jaw. Just really had to pull that thing apart to get decent leverage. I had another removed next year, same song and dance. Took some obuprofin and couldn't eat anything decent for a few days. Unecessary context: I was probably only given the normal anasthetic because this was being done by my normal dentist and not a specialist. this was a decision I made because 1) way cheaper 2) I'm super chill at the dentist so I didn't feel like getting knocked out or whatever was necessary 3) I know and trust my dentist. I don't want a stranger rooting around my face

If you think about it there's no difference between cleaning dishes and not cleaning dishes

Lol my cat eats from antique china because she is a fancy lass, and because pretty china that doesn’t get used is pointless. If she wasn’t so rotund I’d find her an antique chamber pot for a litter tray.

Bored now...
My (F22) family is angry at me for callout out my sister's (F24) Fiancee's (F27) family's private art/historical collection.

quote:

TLDR: My sister's fiancee's family is hoarding art and historical artifacts in their home. Now she's angry at me for calling them out and demanding they be donated to a museum.

My F(22) sister's (F24) fiancee (M27) is descended from European nobility. Until recently I had assumed that this was purely genetic and for the most part he and his family were middle class people from a normal background.

Her fiancee is a bit quiet and a rather private individual, but pretty polite and he seemed friendly enough with my parents. My father and him seemed to share a love of history, and when my sister and her fiancee would visit, my dad and her fiancee would spend many evenings talking about some historical event or another.

Recently my sister told me that he was inviting us to his family home in order to meet his parents and spend the winter holidays in Europe. My parents wanted to go and I wasn't really going to miss out on a free vacation opportunity (Her fiancee was paying) so I accepted as well.

Well my family finally revealed to me that his family isn't just related to nobility, but are technically nobles. And although there is no legal distinction between them and the rest of society, they still have some of their former homes and possessions.

In their massive home is a huge collection of really old art and historical artifacts that his family has been hoarding away from the public. Apparently the family just keeps them there for themselves and their guests to enjoy while the public can't even access to them.

While her fiancee's dad was giving us a tour I pointed out that most of these pieces should be in a museum, where everyone could enjoy them. But her fiancee's dad told me that they've been in his family for centuries and as a result belong to them. This arrogant response annoyed me a lot so I tried to explain to him that simply owning them didn't entitle his family to keep them away from the public domain and deny people the right to see them. At this point her fiancee seemed to get frustrated and he told me that his family had earned them through good service to previous monarchs and as a reward/compensation for military service.

I wanted to push back but my mom told me to stop and that I was somehow being rude. My sister pulled me aside and told me that I was embarrassing her in front of her fiancee's family and that I had been invited into someone's home and should show some "respect and decency".

I decided I didn't want to cause any problems and I tried to just stay quiet while her fiancee's dad finished the tour. But after they pulled out some African and Asian vases and ornaments I had to speak up and point out that they were keeping stolen cultural pieces in their home and that they had been robbed from their original indigenous peoples. This caused a big argument and the fiancee's dad began to explain how they were given in compensation for military service in Senegal and that his ancestors had fought for them... etc, etc.

I kept telling them that they were stealing and that they're hoarding pieces that the public and original countries had a right to have access to. I pointed out that this collection couldn't be completely legal and that it should be reported to the authorities in case there weren't allowed to keep some of the pieces. My parents got extremely angry at me and were telling me to be quiet and and leave the room, while my sister was literally backing up her fiancee and his dad, repeating their arguments and justifying the collection.

My mom ended up dragging me out of the room and sending me to collect my things. My parents told me to leave and made me stay at a nearby hotel for the rest of the stay and my refused to let me stay with them at the fiancee's home, his family didn't even invite me to the activities they had planned for my family and I was forced to spend the rest of the time alone at the hotel.

It's been a month now since my parents and I returned and they're still pissed. My mom says I "humiliated" them and made them look "uncultured and unappreciative", while my dad barely speaks to me and says I should "take a history course this semester" so that I can "actually understand" what I'm talking about. My sister has blocked me and apparently doesn't want anything to do with me right now.

Their relationship is already over, they just don't know it yet.

That they apparently keep making levels and deleting them strikes me as a red flag. Like yeah, it's very common to have discarded and incomplete stuff left over in game development as you figure out what works and what you can fit into the final product, but that just strikes me as terminally hosed project management with some misguided sense of auterism. Of course, one thing I've learned from studying years of video game trainwrecks is that with poor project management it's very easy to spend years in development and end up with absolutely nothing usable to show for it.

'Rage games' are probably especially lol for this. I'm pretty sure to make a remotely good one you want to know the basics of game design first.

AITA for saying carrot cake makes me happier than anything else?

quote:

My (25f) boyfriend (29m) gave me a bite of carrot cake I ate it did my little good food dance and then said "I wish everything made me as happy as this carrot cake does." And then he said wow and went and let my dog inside and told my dog that both of them (he and dog) are 2nd place to carrot cake. I laughed at it and said he was being ridiculous. Which he then said, that I basically told him 7 years of love and happiness is nothing compared to a carrot cake, that I don't like him, and he doesn't make me as happy as carrot cake. I again said he was being ridiculous he went to bed and I’m sitting in the living room. I really thought this was some weird funny bit until he went to bed. So Reddit, AlTA for saying I wish everything made me as happy as carrot cake?

Tooth pain is really specific and if youre not used to it it really slaps you in the loving face. Much like genital pain. I had to have a second root canal on a tooth because the first dentist didnt scoop the tooth guts out properly and it got reinfected. Local anesthesia and 3 hours of nonstop agony (they had to drill through root canal filling). I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

AITA for taking my dog into the grocery store for no more than 10 minutes

quote:

I (F33) am a proud owner of Peanut, my Yorkshire Terrier. I took Peanut to the dog park today and Petsmart. In the same complex is the grocery store I go to. It was a warmer day and didn't want to leave Peanut in the car. So I leashed him up and took him in with me.

I had planned on a quick trip, no more than ten minutes. I went to the produce department to grab some stuff. A guy, probably in his 30's, not an employee, rudely told me that pets aren't allowed in grocery stores and asked why I had my dog with me. Before I could respond he told me it was gross as gently caress to have my dog in the produce section. I explained it was hot out and I planned to be quick in the store. I apologized and said the most convenient thing for me was to come here with Peanut. He told me to gently caress off and not to be a lazy pet owner. Then he stormed off. It was a bit of a scene. Feeling uncomfortable, I just left. I thought it'd be no big deal, Peanut didn't misbehave or have an accident, And I didn't think I was being an rear end in a top hat.

actually you're allowed to bring pets inside if you're otherwise going to be put at a mild inconvenience

I largely agree with you on this but a) capers can be acceptable, and b) you're, uh, forgetting the vinegar there or you have extremely boring greek salads. (Also the feta is generally pretty salty enough on its own)
