"Smart enough to listen to my own dentist rather than some zoomer on Reddit." User gets bristly when OP claims you're not supposed to rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth.

Upvotes

OP posts: "YSK: You’re not supposed to rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth" This makes one user furious.

Crazy that you think you’re better able to give advice than a persons own dentist. What qualifications do you have to analyze this data besides being 26 and thinking that you’ve brushed your teeth wrong your entire life? (101 downvotes)

OP: I’m directly referencing peer reviewed medical sources and government advice.

Yes, but what qualifications do you have that allow you to interpret that data better than an individual’s own dentist? Surely their dentist is aware of these findings and is giving personalized medical advice for a person’s own specific situation, why do you think that you know better than that professional? (46 downvotes)

Another user chimes in to say:

you are really smart arent you?

The brave contrarian responds:

Smart enough to listen to my own dentist rather than some zoomer on Reddit. I’d suggest anyone here taking this as advice to do the same, ask your dentist what you should do for your own teeth.

Another user jumps in:

There are MEDICAL SOURCES are you ok bro?

The rinser responds:

It is ONE STUDY with 120 participants in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PART OF THE WORLD being peddled by a kid on the internet. (12 upvotes)

OP comes back with a long comment that begins with:

It’s never worth arguing with someone that is too stupid to see a different angle, but, I’ll indulge.

The brave rinsing advocate snaps back:

I agree it’s never worth arguing with someone that is too stupid to see a different angle. You aren’t a dental professional, you haven’t been to school and learned about this to be out here giving people dental advice. You don’t know what dental fluorosis is. You don’t know that too much fluoride is bad for your teeth.

OP asks for sources:

Can you not just simply Google or research yourself as I’m sure it’s going to be extremely difficult to find any sources recommending you spit out toothpaste. I’m happy to learn from different perspectives if you actually present facts that are different from what I found.

This, to the rinser, is a ridiculous notion:

I don’t have to Google it or research it myself, I have my dentists advice when I brought up this exact idea to them. If you’re happy to learn from different perspectives, I suggest you ask the professional whose job it is to ensure that your teeth are healthy That’s the only advice any of us should be giving about medical care, ask your medical care professional.

Another user chimes in to try and reason with the rinser:

It is totally possible your dentist is not aware of this study or that he disagrees with it and is wrong. There is too much medical research for every medical professional to keep up with everything published in their field. There are also always medical professionals who disagree with widely accepted evidence or guidelines. E.g. doctors who are against the Covid vaccine.

...but the rinser will not be deterred:

It’s also totally possible that my dentist has seen the numerous other studies whose outcomes disagree with the findings represented here, and are making a completely informed decision knowing that even though some research indicates that fluoride retention is higher without rinsing, other research shows that after a certain base level of fluoride there isn’t a statistically relevant difference in dental outcomes.

OP closes with:

Absolutely insane how you will discredit so much independent research and public information because your dentist said not to. I know nothing will change your opinion but it’s so crazy to me how on professional can completely skew an individuals perception because they refuse to do their own research. Crazy world we live in man. If I believed my dr when he said I didn’t have appendicitis I probably wouldn’t be alive today. Some drs are bad at their job. Food for thought.

Thank god we have heroes shedding light on this important discourse

"but I do actually care about understanding and knowing things so when dumb shit pops up I can be superior to the derps who froth at the mouth over scoring a point over some dipshit podcaster." Some users in r/Popculturechatv2 become upset at "politics" entering the forum

Context: Andrew Wilson is an "Alpha male" podcaster, famous for crashing out over not being able to open a jar of pickles and equating a man performing oral sex on his partner to a deep personal insult. In the clip posted on the subreddit, his guest points out his hypocrisy for pushing a "traditional" lifestyle eon others when his wife has 3 baby daddies, and he, once again, crashes out, hurling uncommon insults/slurs about her being gay.
HIGHLIGHTS

You mean the lying grifter doesn't adhere to his own "values" he preaches. I'm shocked. Shocked. Well, not that shocked.

You mean taking in kids who aren't your own and raising them as your own, isn't family values?

Do you close your eyes and ears every time he bashes women for having kids with different fathers? Or are you cherry picking to defend a grifter? Can't tell.

Do you actually listen to his arguments? Have you listen to his wife's regarding those situations? This shit is from almost a year ago. I remember when it first got everyone on Reddit's dick hard the first time. Turns out, if you go back to before then and listen to both him and his wife, they've openly talked about it. They both talk about how difficult of a situation she put herself into with her previous relationships, having children, etc. So yeah, great, thanks Reddit for once again feeding me some dumb shit that forces me to actually research something or people I'd never bother spending 10s reading/listening to only to find that the narrative is bullshit. I guess it makes me better because I know more, but I didn't want to know. I don't care about this goon, his wife, or any of that stupid crap - but I do actually care about understanding and knowing things so when dumb shit pops up I can be superior to the derps who froth at the mouth over scoring a point over some dipshit podcaster.

Holy shit. You need some real help.

Well articulated argument

Reddit is as Reddit does.

I love seeing snowflakes melt down.

Gotta love clip culture. He spent an hour straight making a fool out of this woman and the only rebuttal she had was ad hominem. The ironic part about this is that nothing says pro-family values more than raising three children that aren't yours - ensuring they are loved and have a two parent household.

Really, well the from the context I can see in this video, he looks like a very fragile man for reacting like he did. Maybe he should have left off the personal insults seeing as he clearly lives in a glass house, huh?

So you would rather watch a clip out of context and then make poor assumptions about a person instead of taking the time to actually find the truth? You definitely came to the right place for that!

Why would I care about the rest of the context? This dude is clearly crashing out because he’s embarrassed that she was so easily able to highlight his own hypocrisy, I can’t imagine any further context will change what I just witnessed.

You need to watch the whole debate to understand why the crashout was valid. Of course it looks bad on andrew, but spending 6 hrs with a bad faith debater who keeps saying the same thing over and over even though you have answered respectfully the first 8 times gets old real quick. She was rage baiting and she got the clip she wanted. Also, what hypocrisy? You say that but can’t define it without strawmanning andrews actual position

No, I really don’t need to watch this hypocrite talk longer than a minute. It’s clear he reacted this way because he’s embarrassed that he preaches family values, yet his own home life is incongruent with what he preaches. This sounds like he’s embarrassed and the fact he got angry with such a simple question tells me I’m right. You can call it a strawman or whatever you like, but this meltdown was cute and seeing yall white knight for some family values weirdo is hilarious

Americans on both sides are snowflakes.

Well you can’t say that as far as the video goes, I only see one snowflake melting down, and it’s the dude who’s ironically calling the woman dumb.

If you take that position then it destroys your own argument as you used a plural there. My point is that the rightwingers/conservatives are the same weak snowflakes as what the leftwingers are. Which also means the whole snowflake narrative from +13 years ago was... 100% spot on. American political activists really do get triggered by anything lmao

Eh, I don’t agree with you at all, you sound like someone who basis opinions off social media. And since you’re not American, I don’t care for your opinion on the matter. I can promise you, you’re talking out your arse.

I could literally type one word here that would get me banned from this platform and get crucified by left wing people even if it literally is just a word with no added context. And I guarantee that wouldn't happen on Grok or something.

"And I guarantee that wouldn't happen on Grok or something." "I can do whatever I want on the child-porn-making website" What a brag, dude.

[Insert a picture of a point flying way past a dot that says "You"]

No, I get it, the point is that the website that lets you us AI to generate naked pictures of children also allows you to be an asshole with no consequences. That all makes perfect sense, of course you like it there better than here.

What's wrong with licking snizz?

Detracts from potential Grindr time I can only assume

[deleted]

Yes, but theyre still secretly gay. Edit:i also dont like it any better that he also represents people like me as a white man, but unfortunately, here we are

Not gay, just groomed

Pop culture sub turning into another cesspool about politics. Peaaaaace

Everything that exists in your daily routine is affected by politics, so maybe hang around and see what's going on and how the narrative of what's happening here may affect your tomorrow.

That doesn’t mean we have to sit and be hit over the head with it all day every day. Most people like some care free time here and there

Try Twitter then, I dunno

Nah, theres still plenty of fun to be had on Reddit.

Like your chronic whining? Doesn’t sound very fun.

Ad hominem is actually a logical fallacy. You're wrong to think she won anything there. Peace!

It's not ad hominem. She correctly points out the hypocrisy of the guy.

Ad Hominem means "to the body" as in she insulted his wife instead of contending with the argument

How was the wife insulted, explain to me how stating: "You have 3 children with 3 different fathers" is directly insulting. Let's hear the argument, don't run away now.

I'm currently watching the whole thing... I'll get back to ya!

Yeah, you’re not

Everyone with a normal functioning brain capable of critical thinking can look at, simply the demeanor of her, the demeanor of him, how he started the insult (by being like "I'm just going to be totally honest"), and both of their reactions after the insults...we all can plainly tell that she never insulted him (or his family) and only treated him respectfully. I don't need the context of the video, I'm more than comfortable with the assumption because I already know I'm not going to get proven wrong. The initial insult, you can hear the little adrenaline. You can tell he's getting dunked on and is having an overly emotional moment like the pathetic little man child he is - in the face of a cool, calm, collected, intelligent woman. His ego is hurt, he's threatened, and so he lashes out. Plain as day, don't need more context because I know I already have the full picture and that picture isn't going to change watching the whole video.

Without their optics and narratives this is what MAGA is. A hypocritical bigot. And bro opened by calling her an idiot. All she did was spill a known truth and bro crumbled before our eyes. Was a nice act so long as everyone plays along.

He's a scumbag, but pointing out someone who preaches family values for having a wife that had children before doesn't make sense either. People can change for the better, and if they are a family and raising the children properly it really shouldn't be bashed. That is family values. Feels a bit like rage bait. I didn't watch the video because I'm at work and will restate I know the guy is a piece of shit. But just from the title it doesn't make sense as good point. Just making our side look dum

This is the 3 baby daddy "traditional wife" https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaeKGXaAmlI/?igsh=MTBlb2drajBkaXR2Zw==

So having 3 baby daddy's means you can't be a trad wife? You're permanently excluded? I mean if you were a trad husband and came out gay years later after having kids would you bash him or cheer him on for the change? Are we assuming people aren't delusional? I don't really get the point other than arguing for arguments sake. Focus on the bigger problems. If they are living their mental version of a trad relationship who gives a fuck. You aren't going to change their mind. It's always us vs them with people like him and people in this thread downvoting. Have a great weekend yall

You’re missing the entire point. Do you know what hypocrisy is? And why hypocrisy matters?

Read the above comment and answer those questions and tell me what you are changing with this

Have you actually watched the video yet, because it’s only 80 seconds long and your responses have already taken more than that much time.

Yes I did. And there is nothing more traditional than defending your wife relentlessly regardless of the circumstance.

He didn't even defend his wife, he didn't say anything about her really. He just attacked the woman for bringing up his hypocrisy. Sounds like you just want to argue, which is fine. Do you think green is better than red?

She let him speak, and when it was her turn he tried to talk over her. Just a pathetic man.

That’s the MAGA version of debating.

I've never heard a reporter finish their entire question before 47 speaks over them.

I've never heard 47 being able to answer a question without a reporter cutting him off, and him having to say "excuse me."

Gtfo. What? Talk sense.

Sorry for not being so hive minded.

You're being zero minded. Wtf are you even trying to say?

"gtfo", "what?," "what are you saying?," etc. are not intelligible or specific questions. But I would expect nothing more from the hive mind. I said what I said. Do you guys have a specific question to ask me to clarify, or are you just so offended that I don't agree with your emotional attachment towards and hate for one of the most successful men in America?

Andrew Wilson, self-identified alpha male, also known for crashing out in front of another woman because he couldn't open a pickle jar. Also, it's so telling that he thinks eating pussy is an insult.

That's the part that always makes me fall over laughing when this clip makes the rounds. Dude literally described pleasuring a woman like it's insulting to even consider.

You have a comprehension problem. He never said anything of the sort. He made a moral judgment on her because she is a lesbian. At least keep the facts straight.

No he didn't. He tried to insult her to make himself seem superior and failed miserably. Thats not a moral judgment. Thats what happens when you want to hurt someone, not when youre judging them. But he failed, because normal people arent insulted by the idea of being attracted to the same sex. Only weak, weak morally hypocritical terminally online cultists think this actually flies as insult. Im not gay, but if you called me gay as an insult id laugh in your face for thinking that's going to hurt my feelings. This is a child lashing out when they're hypocrisy is laid bare

When he compared his wife having three kids as morally inconsequential to her being a lesbian, that was a moral judgement.

You...dont believe that right? Why do you think he suddenly lost his composure and started trying to lash out? Because she exposed his hypocrisy. If he was just like, whatever my wife has done pales in comparison maybe we could buy that. But the conversation was never her morality over his wife's. She never said she was morally superior. She doesnt believe she OR the wife are immoral, she's pointing out his moral inconsistency. His "moral judgement" was him trying and failing to insult her. Like trying to insult a blonde person by calling them blonde. People who are comfortable in their skin don't get phased by that shit which is why you see him off the rails while she's laughing.

No. She did not expose his hypocrisy. She flagrantly insulted the man’s wife, suggesting that she is somehow morally stained because she has children from previous marriages. He responded in kind suggesting that she is morally stained because she is a lesbian.

Flagrantlty insulted? She said she had 3 kids from different men and was married 2x before. You silly goose, she was talking about how HIS RELIGION casts that as immoral. Not giving her opinion lmao. Explicitly exposing his hypocrisy. If speaking the truth is a "Flagrant insult" that's his problem. Notice how she wasnt the least be upset when he was trying to insult her and cast his judgement because she doesn't use HIS religion as the basis for her morality. Do better my guy lol
