Yeaaah probably fake, but given that it could be easier to just get it back by asking rather than rescheduling patients, dealing with the police, and waiting for insurance to cover the expensive equipment it's... possible that this is legit (probably not, but possible)

Nah, I've worked in dental. Those machines are insanely expensive. This is one hand-held unit for sale just under 3k, down from just under 7k . That doesn't count the sensors, which are also crazy expensive.

Most offices have machines attached to the wall, which would be extremely difficult to steal. But a nomad is portable.

Above is ONE sensor (most offices have at least 2) that costs around 7k. There are other neccessities as well, but I think you get the point

Show: Love, Death and Robots. It's fantastic but some of the episodes just hit too hard. I'll eventually get back to it, I just need some time

Game: Cyberpunk. I was looking something up and found out what happens to Evelyn. I kinda look like her a bit, and have also dealt with (much milder) issues in the same category. Too brutal

Movie: I actually watched it all the way, but the first time I watched American Beauty is just fucked me up for like, a week

I've already watched it, but my husband and I are going through it again because he hasn't seen it. We binge watch most shows, but Mr. Robot is HEAVY and it gets heavier and weirder until the end.

My advice while watching it is to detach from the characters. Accept that anyone can die at any moment, often horribly, but know that the ending is bitter-sweet and that the show is absolutely worth the watch

Lemmy's being difficult for me (or it could be Connect for Lemmy) so I keep having to find the post in order to reply to you! (Meaning I might have to stop replying, but if I do that's why)

And yes, I would say a dog growling and a honey bee releasing pheromones are also examples of language! I'm sure many would disagree (and rightfully) but my general perspective on the matter is that any type of communication is language (but I can see how it can be argued that no, it's not language which is different- they're just so closely related in my mind that to me they're practically synonyms)

I agree that it has to do with definition. My definition of language might be of a wider range than yours (and linguists)

My cat, for example, might not use grammer but I can certainly communicate with her (and she with me!) In this sense she and I have a language between us that's a mix of signs, sounds, and body language. It's not possible for me to seperate our talks from language, even though our understanding of each other doesn't cover specifics.

So if someone communicates with me via emoji, and I understund accurately, I would count it as language (even if it goes against classical definitions)

Idk. I think they can all fall under language, because they're all a form of communication. Like sign language, or body language

Just wanna say I have mad respect for you for acknowledging that you were wrong, but leaving the post up. I wish more people were as brave as you are

Idk. Not everyone has talent or the ability to gain the skill of the thing they wanna do.

Creativity is still king. But sometimes you need a day job, first

I see a lot of people are missing that the :-) face WAS his actual face.

Which begs the question: did she unmatch because she prefers emojicons, or was she just not attracted to that type of face

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, that looks satisfyingly crunchy!

I see what you're saying, yeah
