Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

  • Yeah, that’s what I thought. Not trying to be a smart ass, I just keep seeing things like this for Ubisoft and other companies and people just crap on them, but then Steam is almost never criticised for the same issue (or I am not seeing those memes). I guess Valve makes enough other things right so people are more happy to overlook this?










  • It is a bit weird to pick Sweden for that example because you do have to pay for dental care yourself too. There are some subsidies of course, but it isn’t abnormal to pay the equivalent of 100 EUR for a visit, even if its just to clean teeth from toothstone.

    I got scammed a few times when the hygienist or dentist just told me they really need to show me how to properly brush and then I get charged another 50 EUR just for that. Without them telling me beforehand that this will cost extra.

    Unless you are under 18 (or under 25?), then it is free at least. But really it should be free for all under general healthcare.

    Source: me, I live here and its the example I used in my comment above.



  • At her teeth cleaning, they did an X-ray. She paid for none of it. “They really go above and beyond,” she says.

    No, they really don’t. This should be normal. Then again, dental care is privatised in a lot of countries who otherwise have “free” healthcare, so in a way a lot of people are in the same boat as Americans. Ever since I moved to a country where I have to pay for every dental treatment I find myself distrusting the dentists opinion if that procedure really is necessary or not. They profit directly from it, why not add some stuff that’s not needed? Considering how important your teeth are for your quality of life, I hate to be in that situation.
