  • Anyone who values you less because of your appearance is not worth your consideration.

    This does discount physical and medical consequences, which are absolutely worth noting, but whether others notice your missing tooth should not be an issue.

    It makes sense and is understandable that you would feel sensitive about it, including wanting the tooth back, but its absence does not reflect upon you as a person and ideally you don’t feel bad about it.

    This isn’t meant to dismiss trauma, but help with any insecurity. Personally, I’d rather hear what you have to say rather than whether you can chew adequately.

    Hopefully you get your tooth back if its absence is causing you stress.

    edit: I don’t mean to invalidate any of your feelings on the subject. I don’t have any visibly missing teeth, but my mother very prominently did. If anything I said above isn’t accurate, I certainly yield to you, but I hope that something above helps.










  • I am a native English speaker and don’t believe your reading comprehension is to blame here.

    It seems as though the OP saw an Amazon review entitled “Run pant” and envisioned the following scenario:

    • you are at an odd race in which articles of clothing such as hats, pants, shirts, etc. are competing to determine which clothing item is the best as defined by the winner of the race
    • you are attending as a supporter of pant(s)
    • the race starts but no clothing starts running (ie, all articles remain still and do not engage in the competition)
    • in support of pant(s), you shout the title of the review (“run, pant!”) in the hopes that pants start running first and win the race.

    It’s a thinker for sure.

    Edit: on re reading, it sounds like all clothing except for pants started running at the beginning of the race, so you are trying to encourage the pants to participate, despite their apparent reluctance. They are your favorite, after all.





  • My grandfather founded a liquid propane company and I have the adding machine he used as a register. It may not be quite literally the oldest thing I own, but I consider it the coolest old thing I own.

    The sides of it are plastic so you can see the mechanisms and it weighs a gazillion pounds. My wife hates it because we’ve moved it through three houses. I love it and will never voluntarily let it go.
