About 20 grand.

Actors use Porcelain because it more closely mimics the look of real teeth.

Resin is for 1/2 ass people.

Porcelain crowns have broken on me time and again. They're expensive and brittle, particularly for TMJ sufferers. I try to be good about my night guard, but I'm not religious about it, and -bang- cracked crowns.

Interesting. I played a contact sport and only broke my crowns maybe 4 times.

I grind my teeth really badly. I've worn holes in my natural molars. I've been getting metal crowns because they don't crack. Apparently the amalgam is softer than my natural teeth so I can just wear the amalgam crowns down instead of damaging natural teeth or destroying expensive ceramic crowns.

Plus, eventually I can rock that awesome Richard Kiel/Jaws look from James Bond villainry.

My new crown is apparently gonna be glass which I raised an eyebrow at but was assured it'll be pretty tough.

It's gorilla glass. Shit is stronk.

Got my W2 and if this online calculator is accurate I have $2100 coming to me.

Not getting my hope up but it sure would be nice.

Two 28 year old girls threw game on me at the new gym I'm attending. Dont worry I was was a good boy but it's good to know I'm still attractive to the breeding aged girls.

sometimes it's good to be bad though

I've considered porcelain veneers before but I backed off when I heard they lasted around 15 years.  I suppose it isn't a big deal to get them replaced but for $1,000+ a tooth, it seems like a lot.  As for now, every quarter I do a week of dentist prescribed whiteners.  Seems to work for now.

You have to use them every quarter week or the original color returns? What's the name of the product.

Try Sheer White strips. Dunno if the ones on Amazon are as strong as the ones used at dental offices though. They come with 5 strips and last 36mo. You put them on your teeth and leave it on for a few hours. You won't need to constantly use them every month, hence them lasting so long, unless you want some clown ass white teeth.

I mean every three months, I do it for a week.  Not sure if it is necessary or not, I just do it.

Real talk: teeth are one of those things you will be judged for mercilessly once you ascend into certain strata. Like I try not to smile in certain company because I'm a fucking twerp who lollygags on whitening despite having decent teeth.

[Tasty]

Yeah I already feel bad smiling or laughing.

I imagine the upper echelons are like American Psycho shit.

[Kara]

A weird thing is older Boomers have very white teeth but only had their upper teeth straightened while their lower ones are .

Reminds me of the 30 rock white male Republican haircuts scene.   




Liz Lemon: Didn't you just get a haircut two days ago?

Jack Donaghy: I get my hair cut every two days. After all, your hair is your headsuit. I'm going to a party tonight honoring Robert Novack, it's being thrown by John McCain and Jack Bauer.

Liz Lemon: Em, I don't think he's real.

Jack Donaghy: [laughs] I assure you, Lemon, John McCain is very real. I have to look perfect. When it comes to hair, no one is more bitchy than conservative males.

cuts to scene of Jack at a party surrounded by white men all with similar haircuts, one stand of Jack's hair is out of place

White man:  God Lord Donaghy did you comb your hair with a chicken bone

All other white men laugh at Jack.

I stopped pissing blood tonight and I think my Zoloft is kicking in. Yay me.

This is a fact. Bad teeth will get you judged quicker than anything else.

[Tasty]

Yup I know, though no one judges my teeth more than me.

[CatsCatsCats]

Just move to Europe, they don't care

[Rufus]

We do, just not as much.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

There's a lot of pressure on appearance, especially as you get into management.  Where I work, there isn't a single fatty in the management ranks.  Almost everyone has a full head of hair, no matter how old they are.  If you're losing your hair, it better be bic'd.

10 am. Nah, dude's been riding our dicks about time sheets for whatever reason all week. Yet he's by far the worst offender at the entire company.

These people seem to be at every workplace. Bitch to others about having to do this and that while they themselves don't do shit.

I find that holier-than-thou assholes often project quite a bit.

There was a massive crowd at the station. Ridiculously huge.  So I hopped on the train going the other way, rode for two minutes and got off at the stop ahead.

Got on the train going back the other way-- it was empty.  Got back to the other stop and watched idiots struggling to get on and get seats.

I found some crucial info for my sales tax audit that I thought was lost forever

It's in a really hard to read format as well so it'll be hard for them to extract data

[chronovore]

My MacBook Pro was having heavily-fucking-excitable fan activity for the past several months. Couldn't tell what it was that was taxing the hell out of it. Finally called up Activity Monitor (OS X's Task Manager) and found two processes. Googled those, found out that leaving Gmail's account Contact sync turned on will do this. Deactivated sync: NO MORE FAN. QUIET GODDAMNED LAPTOP.

Finally taking steps to finish minimalizing my life and being done with physical media.

Put up a bunch of my Blu-rays for sale to my friends. If nothing sells it'll go to this GameStop-like electronics exchange in Boston.

Have all my ~30 or so of my disc Wii games in storage at my parents'.

Gave away my biggest books, now I have three fairly slim books left and zero manga. Those three books will also be sold, given away, or put in storage.

After I finish off selling my Blu-rays and player, I need to go through my storage closet which is mostly just boxes for electronics I've bought. I thought I'd need them if I wanted to return shit but I really haven't so far.

Excited to give away/sell the bookcase all my physical media is on too, and replace it with a small table for my new Philips Wake-Up Light. I also want to get rid of the bulky, four-surface frosted-glass computer desk I have and replace it with a smaller, single-surface (particle) wood one:



(Ideally I'd get solid pine or something but shit's way out of my price range, especially with my new budget. )

All of this is in service to my planned move this December, for which I will be getting an actual set of furniture (currently my apartment is filled with freebies and hand-me-downs, and looks very schizophrenic.) The general idea is to get my next apartment to look something like:





Am I a hypocrite for being a self-described minimalist yet still being a slave to physical attachments and the illusion of status a nice-looking apartment affords? Maybe. But I don't really care. <3

Everyone needs to have life goals.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

minimalism

[Tasty]

The minimalist interior aesthetic.

Owning no media physically and everything digitally.

And having it all in streaming services so you're not even holding those GBs locally.
