Not true. This is part of a scheme.

LA Times owner reportedly killed

Don't do this to me in this climate, OP.

The sugar is honestly probably the biggest factor here. Plaque is just bacteria poop, and giving them a bunch of sugar is basically speedrunning their growth and telling them to produce as much poop as they possibly can.

I mean it also shows a 6–11% reduction in gingivitis, so it's at least getting some of those weird little angles better. Gingivitis most commonly occurs because plaque stays too long around the lining of the gums, and thus electric brushes should at least be more effectively getting this off the bases of the crown – which to me were always way more difficult and awkward to effectively treat with a manual brush.

Meanwhile, there's really no such thing as using your toothbrush as a substitute for proper interdental cleaning, and that's why your dentist really will notice if you haven't been flossing properly. A water flosser is best for something like that.

That's what effectiveness means, since removing dental plaque isn't a binary thing. If you're trying to remove plaque, then a percentage reduction is a corresponding increase in effectiveness. If a vaccine has a 20% reduction in disease compared to another vaccine, it's 20% more effective at preventing the incidence of disease. I'm pretty sure this comment isn't just splitting hairs; it's actually wrong in its pedantry.

Still outdated. David Joyner took over for Karen Lynch at CVS.

It's non-violent when the state does it. Just like "capital punishment".

Not just 8. At minimum, they found 12. I agree: what the hell took so long? I know there was that suicide attempt by a cabinet member who was arrested recently; maybe that was it?

I'm sorry, I've failed you; I couldn't possibly make this dumber than the original context.

This isn't a damn movie where everyone claps because the bad guy is dead.

Alright, I'll get back to you and be sure to apologize when this alleged Act II starts and shit goes south. For now, I'm going to be enjoying the part where everyone claps because the bad guy is dead.

No, but you see, because Mangione wasn't employed by the US military (who started a baseless, illegal war in Iraq that led to literal hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths and massive regional instability), he's on the hook for this one. Sorry, them's the breaks. There's no moral authority quite like the US military, I tell ya what.

Honestly most likely at least some due to the mass outrage sparked by the killing, yes. It is at least likely that some in the health insurance industry are reconsidering the level of shit they can get away with. For example, immediately after the killing:

If nothing else, though, it seems like people might actually be posting OC now. When I first got there, it was like a single account blatantly reposting from TikTok, Instagram, etc. Like the 9gag of short-video content. Seems potentially better going back into it now.

Eh, can't have been too good at his job if he couldn't even make it to a meeting on time.

What kind of money?!

(Also, yes, about $27.9k daily, meaning it would take him about one and a quarter days to make the annual salary of a "Customer Service Advocate" in San Antonio. (How the fuck do they come up with these nauseatingly sanitized names?))

I show them; I record everything.

Posted the same day as 'Day 13' since I've been a bit under the weather and missed it yesterday.

Hey, sorry for missing yesterday; I've been a bit under the weather. Going to post two today to make up for it. (Also, it's $10.2 million annually).

I read this for a second as "neurotypical cockroaches". Like "are there neurodivergent ones??"
