The discussion centers on the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, with a focus on the continuation of a previous thread. Participants engage in light-hearted banter, celebrating a trivia quiz and discussing various topics, including creativity, humor, and personal anecdotes. One member shares a humorous proposal joke involving a "trivial ring," leading to a deeper conversation about mathematical concepts and the nature of "nothing." The conversation shifts to personal experiences, including frustrations with the medical system following a wisdom tooth extraction, highlighting issues with prescription management and insurance complications. Members express their opinions on dental practices, particularly the necessity of wisdom tooth removal, with some viewing it as a financial racket unless there are complications. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of humor, personal stories, and commentary on broader societal issues, maintaining a casual and engaging tone throughout.

I refuse to have my wisdom teeth removed. I have been told more than once that I should get them removed by dentists (then again, who hasn't been told that), but they are mostly in on the top row and seem to be coming in ok on the bottom. Unless I start experiencing serious discomfort or something bad like an infection happens, I will trust that nature knew what she was doing when we evolved these things.

I honestly think that wisdom tooth extraction is, for the most part, a big racket.

Got to agree that is is a very big money racket. Unless they are causing problems, I don't see any reason to touch them. I had problems, one was coming in sideways and growing against my cheekbone and causing severe pain, another was impacted, the others were pushing my other teeth out of place.

I always seem to be the first in my family to catch a cold. I then get blamed for everyone else catching it no matter how careful I am in trying to isolate myself and not spread it. Sigh...

Blame your family's immune systems. They aren't strong enough to coexist with your cold.

I think they did. Judging by his posts, I had already guessed he was quite annoying. But that he would get banned - never saw that coming. :eek:

He had been a member before, if you get my drift.

I've never been good at guessing, but I'd guess that means he created a second account - which is not allowed on PF... (sounds like I guessed it wrong again)

That's correct, once banned, you can't just keep coming back with a new name, although many try.

He was too busy upping his postcount as it seems to me, popping up in too many subforums with subpar replies, at least from what I'm used here.

Yesss! :devil: Looks like my brain is working, so I'm going to go study now! :smile:

@ Cosmobrain : There there.

Wait with opinions till you raise one.

Actually this is one of the funniest observations on the plot.
