a problem for future me
Thanks to generations of careful inbreeding, my upper jaw is a total disaster. I'm halfway through life, and at this point my only goal is to make it to the finish line at roughly at same time as my last few molars. Recently, my dentist proposed a procedure which might save two of them.
dentist: If we do this, you could preserve those two for another thirty years.
me: What happens after thirty years?
dentist: I don't know. I'll be dead.
