Anyone who values you less because of your appearance is not worth your consideration.

This does discount physical and medical consequences, which are absolutely worth noting, but whether others notice your missing tooth should not be an issue.

It makes sense and is understandable that you would feel sensitive about it, including wanting the tooth back, but its absence does not reflect upon you as a person and ideally you don’t feel bad about it.

This isn’t meant to dismiss trauma, but help with any insecurity. Personally, I’d rather hear what you have to say rather than whether you can chew adequately.

Hopefully you get your tooth back if its absence is causing you stress.

edit: I don’t mean to invalidate any of your feelings on the subject. I don’t have any visibly missing teeth, but my mother very prominently did. If anything I said above isn’t accurate, I certainly yield to you, but I hope that something above helps.

Plus it puts on a Santa hat around Christmas.

It seems very likely that this drop-down menu was not populated by one person, or perhaps was even populated by multiple databases written by very different people with highly disparate levels of grammar knowledge - maybe even different first languages.

Or someone thought it was funny, like you said. I’m not here to judge.

I mean, possibly.

But it makes so much sense!

Alongside many of the useful comments here, I’d like to add one great thing about installing Linux on a new computer: you can’t accidentally anything on the new computer! There’s presumably no data to be lost, you can even install Linux without ever booting into the Windows environment. If you don’t have it connected to your network, there’s nearly no risk; even if you do, that risk is minimal. I always feel a distinct comfort imaging a system that’s never been used.

As for the how, others have covered it, but just identify your distribution of choice (Fedora and Linux Mint are great starters), download the ISO from their website, plug a thumb drive into any running system, and download a USB imaging tool. Balena Etcher is a popular one and the one I use, but many others are available and popular as well if you have a preference.

:( I apologize; that was the opposite of my intent.

I am a native English speaker and don’t believe your reading comprehension is to blame here.

It seems as though the OP saw an Amazon review entitled “Run pant” and envisioned the following scenario:

• you are at an odd race in which articles of clothing such as hats, pants, shirts, etc. are competing to determine which clothing item is the best as defined by the winner of the race
• you are attending as a supporter of pant(s)
• the race starts but no clothing starts running (ie, all articles remain still and do not engage in the competition)
• in support of pant(s), you shout the title of the review (“run, pant!”) in the hopes that pants start running first and win the race.

It’s a thinker for sure.

Edit: on re reading, it sounds like all clothing except for pants started running at the beginning of the race, so you are trying to encourage the pants to participate, despite their apparent reluctance. They are your favorite, after all.

I’d play games with you as time permits.

I would be worried about choking in my sleep if I fell asleep with a lozenge in my mouth.

If all you need is to restore read permissions, you could use symbolic rather than octal:

chmod -R a+r $DIR

If you don’t want to grant read permissions to everyone you can replace the a with whichever applies of ugo for user, group or other.

I must have confused the two. Thanks for the clarification!

I may be wrong, since I’ve never actually seen the movie, but I initially thought it was from Duel.
