  • So apparently this is 100% a thing with expensive camera lenses. Different markets will get different quality lenses despite the model being marked as the same.

    It’s also why I won’t buy clothing from US based outlets, as the brands have been known to explicitly manufacture lower quality product to sell at outlets. That said, the only time this actually comes up for me (being an Australian), is that I won’t buy big brand clothing at Costco.









  • Once female speaking time reaches 30% or more, males believe that the females are dominating the speaking time.

    Female encroachment on what has traditionally been considered male spaces is not taken well. Female empowerment is considered taking from deserving males.

    Essentially the general male population don’t like females, and only tolerate them as a subservient subclass who should be seen and not heard.

    EDIT: This should probably annoy you a little too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt2qCjL6-n4

    And it may also explain why people complain that there should only ever be one female character - it minimises the chances of males having to watch two females interact, because that would be excluding the male experience and they couldn’t possibly relate to two females interacting.

    EDIT2: comments in that video do claim there are more scenes… whether or not that really adds much is up to you.











  • Oil pulling itself doesn’t benefit your oral health. What does is you taking a sudden interest in your oral hygiene, and rinsing very fucking thoroughly (often also brushing far more thoroughly too).

    Cut sugars (even natural), cut acids (anything sour, tart, fizzy - yes even sugar free pop!), brush with as high a fluoride concentration toothpaste as you can (e.g., clinpro 5000 or neutrafluor/duraphat 5000), floss and use interdental brushes, don’t graze, manage your gastric reflux and dry mouth… Taking on board at least some of these will improve your oral health.

    And for whitening, the whitening strips from crest/oral b work well if your teeth and gums are healthy and clean.
