Not sure "lecturing" is accurate but sure, I'll allow it.

For the record, is it your claim that if Trump wins, we will just accept it as the results of a free and fair election? Just "Welp, guess the voters were in your favor this time Donnie. Good game. We'll try to bring it in four years!" right?

Also for the record we agree that Trump could get no states and 30% of the popular vote and still say it was fixed and he should have won right? Honestly that's the result I predict most likely so the experiment will likely be of no value. Just saying.

Yes I make sure mine does

Its a prediction not an argument

Under no circumstances will we see the truth of both predictions

Hopefully Biden will win and we'll see whether the GOP accepts it. That would be the evidence for half.

If God forbid Trump wins, we'll have evidence whether the WMP accepts it. That would be evidence for the other half.

I would LOVE to be wrong, but sometimes that's how the human scientific process works. We make a prediction THEN look at the evidence to see if we were right

Fair point. Some things are unacceptable and those things... well... shouldn't be accepted.

Huh?

I don't know if you're really defending the GOP here, but even though neither of us will accept losing, let's see:

They don't respect trans people

They don't respect women's rights

They don't want to help the poor...

But tell me more about them being the same as us because we both won't accept election results

I will eat my dick if Trump wins and the WMP says "Well, fair play. I guess he got the votes. Good race Donny, hope we do better in four years"

There are very important differences and I am NOT saying both sides are the same generally. I sincerely hope Trump loses. But one thing in common: Neither side will accept losing.

If Biden wins, the GOP will say the election was rigged.

If Trump wins, the WMP will say the election was rigged.

100.00% chance

No I was mostly thinking of oral intake

Wow, that does sound political!

Again, I'm not at all talking about additives to municipal water. That's clearly good. Just since my houses don't have it I'm curious if there's a missed opportunity for better.

Seems like "yes but small" given already using fluoridated toothpaste

Its rare I see an old new-to-me XKCD that's that good.

Oddly apropos

I would think so. I use fluoridated toothpaste, and another commenter recommended fluoridated mouthwash.

Seems like the answer is yes and I'll be discussing it with my dentist.

Yeah, the money isn't a thing for me. My houses are in parts of NY that just don't have municipal wells, so there's no reason to feel one way or the other about it. It just is what it is.

Thanks. I'll definitely be asking my dentist just a while until my next appointment

Fwiw I like car sourced public music

Makes sense. Even if its a thing I'd probably not keep up on it. My house filters have gotten embarrassingly full in my time

How long did you take fluoride pills, as an adult or only as a child?

This is definitely a thing. I mentioned no cavities, but I have had some "slight decalcification we might want to address before it gets worse" that then got better on their own.

Thanks.

I hadn't thought of a fluoridated mouthwash but that looks obvious in hindsight.

Thanks. The fluoride in the water itself is not directly relevant because I just don't have it, but good evidence to raise the topic with my dentist as an adult. I definitely use fluoridated toothpaste.

Yeah, I think that's why my dentist gave me fluoride treatments as a child. Have you gotten any as an adult?
