It isn't a major news story because America does not have a major news media. Period.

Hey, here's a random thought: maybe all of us who are Democrats and progressives should pause attacks on each other for the next three weeks and focus on beating Republicans. I promise our arguments will be so much more interesting in January after a blue tsunami.

That's excellent. You can never go wrong with an elegant black gown and a strand of pearls. Timeless classics!

Funny because it's true, and a reminder that this attitude didn't start with MAGA. Republicans have been at the "screw everyone else I've got mine" game and the "hate everyone who's not white, male and christian" game for as long as I have been alive. I know because I grew up with them, lulz.

The most sobering thing about a 2nd Trump term is realizing just how completely fucked up Americans themselves are. We're a nation that has been consistently lied to and abused for 60 years and no longer know how to think. America's collapse started with Reagan's 'trickle down economics" nonsense.

Anyone who has ever worked in advertising can tell you that the ad was deliberately controversial. Converse knew exactly what it was doing with this. The company's apologies are complete nonsense. It's offensive in the extreme. The brand is shit. CEO & ad team can piss right off with this.

But first someone would have to explain to them what a Supreme Court is actually for.

This is so crazy, I just had this exact same thing for dinner tonight too, even same brand! Great minds etcetera, but my first thought was "How does this crazy internet know what I made for dinner tonight...!?"

I mean when you think about it "Sloppy Joe" ain't exactly literature.

Correct. American democracy has already collapsed, and its economy will soon follow. The blatant bribery and looting going on now in broad daylight are simply not sustainable. The only ones who don't yet understand this are the Americans who gleefully did this to themselves and to the world.

He wasn't asking for help. Try this: "Everyone knows what a cucumber is and it isnt' my job to educate you. I also don't need to be hassled for the privilege of shopping here. I'm putting in a complaint with your boss on my way out."

A clipboard, a hard hat, and the right tone can pass through any check point.

Yes and he's absolutely correct.

The United States currently has no working news media. Americans need to find foreign news sources because the US is a delusional and transitioning to a police state. America is headed for national collapse and everyone knows it but the Americans. Sorry, but it's true. Best of luck everyone.

I was lucky, I did not need a sinus lift, BUT I know a couple of people who did when they had upper implants. And yes, it's all about bone density but apparently I have the bones of a caveman, lulz. But not the teeth! 😜

Admittedly not inexpensive, but hopefully consumer costs for this will come down eventually. If the technology had existed to do it when I was 30 (I'm 60s now) I would have actually spent significantly less money on my teeth overall. 2/2

Yes, denture implants. It's a whole prosthetic rack of teeth (upper or lower) that is held in place with 4 implanted anchor points. Amazing computer technology that creates them to fit exactly. Very stable, looks and feels completely normal. I recommend. Wish I could have done decades sooner. 1/2

(And PS, I also always took care of my teeth. Some of us are just born with teeth made of chalk apparently, lol.)

My 2 cents, FWIW: Lifelong teeth issues here, caps, crowns, bridges, gazillions of dollars over my lifetime, endless pain & heartache. Finally gave up, pulled them all three years ago and had permanent dentures installed. Like regular teeth. Best decision EVER. Mouth is healthiest it's ever been.
