Monster was down for the life. He loves the dentist. He also kept asking for nitrous oxide, peculiarly.
Another amusing dental picture that I got…

Well, they had their dental visits on the same day.

Both of the kids got their six-month dental exams out of the way. Monster’s was supposed to take place at the end of March, but that is obviously when this pandemic… started, so the kids’ dentist closed until just recently, and I called them up and asked if I could book him in right before or right after Bub, who had a standing appointment for today. As it turned out, I could, so I went on ahead and did that. As predicted, Monster behaved himself during the exam. He cooperated for his X-rays and the exam itself. Bub, on the other hand… was Bub. He never cooperates with these things on the first go. He hasn’t for years, actually.
No cavities on anyone, though! And that’s the important thing at the end of the day if you think about it!

I’m just using this picture of Bub here because it’s a cute picture that I took.
But in relevant news, I got into a debate with a nihilist that wanted to double down on everything, and… sparing you the details, never do that. I’m not sure if they were intentionally sealioning (and yes, that is a thing) on every topic that came up or they weren’t aware that they were actually that obtuse, but they were. It was also one of the few discussions that actually saw the “Nazi card” properly invoked, too. The individual in question only admitted that “fit” people should breed and that disabled people “should not”, and they seemed to wonder why this invoked a lot of ire from more participants that began to join the debate… discussion… whatever you might like to call it. I am now going to draw a hard line in the sand at actually talking to those kind of people, though. If you sincerely hold those beliefs, I will end the conversation with you as soon as you bring them up. No espousing Aktion T4 sentiments on my watch, please. Not during a global pandemic where more people are dying than we had sum casualties during the Vietnam War. And not during the Trump Administration. But not in general. Like, from now on, I don’t even care about proving these people wrong in debates and discussions by wearing them down with my normal, stubborn nature. Just no.
It is 2020. People should not seriously be espousing sentiments reminiscent of Aktion T4 in 2020. Seriously.
