  • Tooth?

    I had all 4 extracted when I was 16, long before they came in. And, yes, it WAS surgery performed by an endodontist. I was sedated for the procedure, and it took several hours for me to recover from the sedation.

    There are many different ways that people deal with their wisdom teeth. This is how I dealt with mine— or, more correctly, how my parents decided to deal with them.

    The former would be a limited supply with a shelf life (even modern antibiotics go bad after a few years). The latter— synthesizing penicillin is no easy task. Even if I knew how - which I absolutely do not - it’s among the more difficult things in the world of biochemistry. It’s why Alexander Flemming earned a Nobel prize for it.

    And basic penicillin is nothing compared to the antibiotics we have today.

    Additionally, I’m not really very cool with altering the timeline

    Edit: if I was gonna bother synthesizing anything from bread mold, it would be lysergic acid diethylamide, and then I would go for a nice bicycle ride ;)









  • So… just because you chose less deleterious painkillers for your wisdom teeth extraction doesn’t impact your morality. You are still the same shitbag (or not) before and after. And so is he. That is not the argument that I was making.

    I was simply commenting upon the fact that, after such heavy sedation, we all look pretty goofy, regardless of who or what we are


  • I’ll say this about Orlando: it’s the best part of Florida. And man, that is a low fucking bar.

    I grew up here as a kid, and I escaped to New York as a teenager. As a gay man, I’m really really glad I’m not living anywhere else in the state.

    At least it’s pretty, but I miss being able to see the ocean from my rooftop. I miss the rivers. I miss being able to see the dolphins and the whales in the Hudson River. The red tailed hawk that would land on my fire escape every morning.

    I miss so much


  • I’m in Orlando. It’s like if you punched out a single neighborhood in LA and plopped it into the center of Florida. And, somehow, a little over 3 million people live here. It is not a walkable city. I suppose one can get around certain parts of it with an electric bike, but not much. Public transit here is a joke.

    I don’t really have any means of transportation at the moment. I’m just hoping to save up enough to get back to the city.
