@YavuzuvKL @arkb1987 @SXR123 You're right at the cutoff actually. Dentistry in general has existed for millennia, but during the middle ages 'barber surgeons' were their namesake - some specializing in hair, others war surgery or dentistry, or all of the above. 1745 was the official separation from that

@SXR123 Dentist propaganda. People only been brushing 200 years. People only started getting that recently. How did humans survive since the beginning of time without Dentists

@HealthyAlfred in healthy people without alzheimers it doesn't necessarily affect the brain because it's not able to reach it in the first place. It's similar to micro/nanoplastics depositing in the brain - makes it worse, but they lodge in alzheimers brains more often

@HealthyAlfred There's a bit more to this that's misleading, and it's mentioned in the studies, along with others. P. Gingivalis does increase neurodegeneration, but only in people with alzheimer's already. Alzheimers weakens the blood-brain barrier allowing it to get there in the first place

Healthy Alfred 🏄🏻‍♀️
The bacteria behind your bleeding gums was found in 9/10 Alzheimer’s brains. P. gingivalis. Every time your gums BLEED, it enters your bloodstream. Then YOUR brain. Researchers found its DNA in postmortem Alzheimer’s brains. They found its toxic enzymes destroying neurons. Your dentist treats bleeding gums as a hygiene problem. It’s a brain problem. Mastic gum KILLED P. gingivalis in published studies. (PMID: 16822220) A tree resin from Chios island. Chewed for 3,000 years. Kills the bacteria your toothpaste can’t reach. → killed P. gingivalis (Alzheimer’s-linked) → killed S. mutans (every cavity) → killed 90%+ of H. pylori strains → inhibited Candida → killed cancer cells in 6 lines → zero toxicity. zero resistance. ever. Your gums bleed. Your breath comes back. Your brain pays the price 20 years later. Mastic gum KILLED it. I take Greco Gum’s Chios-certified mastic personally. Code ALFRED saves you 10%. Link below.

@elephantmonste1 @Paste_Pot_Pete @artistic_ako @moons33d You're correct, and our opinions simply differ. Cosmic horror is broad and I dislike most variations of it (Event Horizon, Annihilation, many Stephen King books, etc). It isn't that they're necessarily bad, just that my tastes differ from their portrayal.

@elephantmonste1 @Paste_Pot_Pete @artistic_ako @moons33d Disagree here, because Lovecraft 'successors' are barely existent. The only thing I've seen that's truly a continuation of Lovecraft are Mouth of Madness and Cigarette Burns - both of them films by John Carpenter. As for books, most lack the understanding of what LC fiction is.

@elephantmonste1 @Paste_Pot_Pete @artistic_ako @moons33d If its a personal preference I can understand, but the "indecipherable" aspect is not a major focus of most Lovecraftian novels, and is often his dialect more than a real trait described. Lovecraft is more a focus on corruptions - mental, physical, genetic, racial, and so on.

@Paste_Pot_Pete @artistic_ako @moons33d Innsmouth I personally love due to the aspect of it rooting directly into his personal doctrine. Red Hook was honestly the worst book of his I have read as of now, barring the comedic value, so that's understandable. KiY I would put on par with Innsmouth, and above CoC/MoM

@Dereteron @artistic_ako @moons33d Shadow over Innsmouth and the horror of red hook. I’ve read the king in yellow too but I actually think that book is quite well written so I have no complaints about it.

@Dereteron @artistic_ako @moons33d Lovecraft is a hack who can’t write for shit and the type of horror he stutteringly attempts is completely different from the goals of house of leaves

@Wingo_Ethan @artistic_ako @moons33d Thats similar to Dreams in the Witch House, Charles Dexter Ward, and Shadow Out of Time. All three have the protagonists starting to go mad over obsession from a small or previously ignored detail that has them begin to unravel as they pursue more information.

@Dereteron @artistic_ako @moons33d In HoL, the need to understand the House is the “horror.” It drives 3 (minimum) protagonists to utter madness because they are not provided with the answer. Seeking itself is the monster. That’s essential. House of Leaves is more like Melville than Lovecraft. It is not horror.

@elephantmonste1 @artistic_ako @moons33d And as another reply stated, it *IS* intentional for poetic reasons, but I dislikes the "layering something under layers of fluff for convolution's sake". Thats something I dislike, but I will have to give leeway on it considering its the point.

@elephantmonste1 @artistic_ako @moons33d Its a personal preference. Many people dont like his style, which is fine and doesnt have to do with them having "good" or "bad" taste. I simply dislike HoL because of narrative choices (i.e. mental degradation conveyed as a personality shift identical to a Vivziepop character).

@Wingo_Ethan @artistic_ako @moons33d You have a very narrow view on Lovecraft. Corruption in Lovecraft's novels can stem from obsession of things perfectly comprehensible. His most famous works deal with the incomprehensible, meanwhile other works of his even have race diversity as the corruption to cause breakdown

@Dereteron @artistic_ako @moons33d House of Leaves is not about corruption. It is about obsession (different from corruption) and mystery itself. Emotionally they evoke the exact opposite. Incomprehensibility inspires fear in HPL, and it inspires hunger in MZD. House of Leaves is not even a horror novel.

@Godofbadluck2 @artistic_ako @moons33d If you want recommendations for simple works of his, I'd recommend Shadow Over Innsmouth (my personal favorite) and Dreams in the Witch House. SoI is the one that deals with the root of Lovecraft's core fear the most out of anything he's written, so its worth reading

@Dereteron @artistic_ako @moons33d I would say its more accessible lovecraftian type, i tried to read call of cthulhu but every 7 words i had to look up a new word i never heard before. Sometimes he even makes up new words. I did read some of his short stories tho. I would say its the closest thing to lovecraft.

@Godofbadluck2 @artistic_ako @moons33d In all honesty, maybe my irritation had me ignore some of that aspect if it's meant to layer as an allegory. I just disliked a lot of other choices the author made, so I lumped it in with "convolution disguised as complexity". If its poetic reasons I'll loosen on that gripe.

@Dereteron @artistic_ako @moons33d Im honestly impressed 🙏 I also did, i did a whole book assignment on it. The author made it complex on purpose to reflect the complexity of the HOUSE, in one it his interviews he said the pages fly by fast to disorient the reader(like how sometimes there is only a few words)
