I personally dream of a day where all the countries of the world have a negative birth rate, and it would be a responsible decision to tax the childless into poverty, and use the money to fund daycares and pharmacare and post secondary.

But right now, I do think the world is better off without us encouraging natalism. Just as a guy who regularly throughs 5 figures at children activities on an annual basis, I resent you.

That sounds like a good way to start an Incel violent rebellion.

That would be Dentonsman.

Also, A lot of lawyers at Dentons can (and do) drink like maniacs. I don't know how they live.

Kind of at a loss...

Use this handy website. It lists wait times at walk in clinics.

Yeah, but thats not really what I was getting at.

Dentists, like Family Doctors, cant really differentiate themselves from one another.

Its difficult to differentiate on quality, you cant really differentiate on price and that makes one Dentist indistinguishable from another.

Similar to Family Doctors.

And, as a Business, to make money they need to be through-putting patients as efficiently as possible.

Neither, I just thought Dentoman was alluding to 'Dentons' as Fotze correctly suggested.

Related: Do we have our f--king fluoride back in the water yet?

Edit: September 2024. They should have just renewed the infrastructure as needed in 2011 instead of this horsecockery.

Flossing does not work. The fact that dentists are trying to push it again shows that a hostile and communist ideology has taken over our dental system and is defying the democratic will of the people.

They must throw a party when the first patient replies they have actually been flossing. Big Floss and their wholly unsatisfying crap.

Kids are expensive. Very expensive. But I wouldn’t change a thing. It is so awesome to watch them grow up and develop into young adults. Very cool thing to be a part of.

For you younger parents out there, it does get easier, but not cheaper.

They're over-rated.

The guy here bitching about traffic downtown is totally right. It’s a ####ing #### show with no indication anything’s been done to mitigate the cluster. 3:30 on a Friday, half your roads closed or under construction…and no one working anywhere. Awesome.

And why the #### is 4th STILL closed?

I went to a concert last night and the Uber drivers are just irritating. They’re lined up outside the dome and none of them would accept a trip. I talked to a driver and he said they weren’t accepting because they wanted it to be surge pricing, so they would holdout until that happened. So ridiculous.
