Maybe I'm just a busybody and you're fine, but get a blood test for low iron if you haven't lately.

The search term you want is "pulsatile tinnitus." Many people hear it when our heart is pounding, in my case it was one of several symptoms that led to realizing I was very anemic. It can have serious causes like high blood pressure or a tumor, or more minor ones like sinus congestion or even just an individual difference of your inner ear. An otolaryngologist (ENT or Ear-Nose-Throat doctor) can help determine if there's anything to treat or worry about. But nobody is going to look for it unless you bring it up.

I "heard" that title to the tune of "Immigrant Song"

A fucking rhino!?

How many people did it take to get him on the gurney?

And opticians make/sell glasses

I posted a long comment to the person you're discussing with, but I want to mention a person could have an eye exam including glaucoma test and have 20/20 vision, not needing any glasses.

Okay I'm going to step in here, you're both not wrong, you just might come from places with different systems. Where I live (Los Angeles) there are opticians (the glasses shop) and optometrists (the eye doctor). Opticians can do a basic check of your eyesight or the prescription in your existing glasses. But they don't do a complete eye exam, which includes checking your retinas and eye pressure and looking for cataracts, among other things. For that you need an optometrist. And if they think you might have something serious, they'll send you to an opthalmologist.

Many optometrists also sell glasses, because there you are with your eyes and new prescription. But your eye health is their main thing.

And some opticians are actually better at fitting you with the most comfortable and effective glasses, because that's their main thing.

Where I go, a very good optometrist and a glasses shop sort of share a space, and I often get my glasses at that shop, but I used to walk out with my prescription and shop at a different excellent optician before he retired.

Anyway, if you've never had a complete eye exam, including glaucoma test, you probably should. Especially because some eye health issues are more common in people who need glasses.

Last time I went they've modified the air puff, it's not so puffy now!

El Salvador is going to find out Donald never pays anyone. Which is unfortunately only worse for the people he shipped there. Which will never be Weinstein because rape isn't a crime in Trump's mind.

At this point Israeli soldiers are no longer just "making no effort to limit collateral casualties" in Gaza, but pretty obviously "aiming intentionally at children's heads," according to the doctors doing cause-of-death exams.

We make logging companies "replant forests" (yes it's not at all the same as the old growth but it's something). Why do we let mining companies completely rape the land and replace nothing? It doesn't even look like they backfill with the unused debris, much less restore topsoil or plant anything.

Depends whether you consider Congress people.

Heck, being impeached would be just Friday for him, since there's no teeth in it.

47 from the scraps

And losing our healthcare with our jobs. What a stupid system.

Okay okay McD's is overpriced crap but it's also the brand most highly associated with "America."

And our Toad In Chief, having escaped being sent to jail for his crimes, has gone on a destructive spree and crashed America into the mud, "Poop-poop!"

Nobody in the rest of the world wants to buy anything with his stink on it, even if it weren't overpriced crap.

Someone needs to start making giant laptops for zoo cats to sit on

Butterfly snogging.

If they'd had Lego they could build fresh armor to fit

Are you sure that's not just the innate weirdness of theatre students you're seeing? Especially late-night coming down off the high of a show, singing and dancing in the Denny's parking lot...🎶
