Just wear sunglasses when outside and you're good. Or get transitions and never think about it again.

Blue light filters have a purpose, but it isn't eye strain. That's just marketing bullshit from people who don't know it's purpose or can't be bothered to translate it to laymen.

It's purpose is to protect your retina from damage that accumulates throughout your life. It's to protect you from developing macular degeneration. It does nothing anyone will notice, it's more like sunblock, except you can't feel the burn.

Also if someone sells you shit products, go to someone better if possible. But avoid chains at all costs.

I'm an ABOA advanced optician, I've helped with lens designs, I've made my own line of frames, worked with every insurance company, and know the technical details of virtually every product on the market.

If it's going to cost the same either way, do not get the online glasses. The 250 in store is discounted from probably 1200$, and the difference is immediately noticable.

The online glasses will not be measured to fit you properly, the focal point will be a best guess, which makes progressives have a ton of distortion, the frame won't be adjusted and have no standards of material and shitty spring hinges, the transitions will be an old off brand composited lens that will delaminate after some time, the antireflective will be the cheapest, smudging crap possible, and the lenses will be thicker and heavier.

Go to a local optical, not any chain you've ever heard of. No corporate execs to pay means actual paid professionals helping you see better, as opposed to collision salesman trying to rip you off.

Online glasses are for single vision rx's for children, not anybody who really needs glasses.

Seems like something along the lines of "everything is hopeless so don't bother trying."

As the population of people raised on the internet increases, you'll see far more anger responses to the idea that being raised on the internet is bad for you.

Nobody wants to believe they might not have done it right.

That being said, kids generally do dumb things, and your initial comment seems a bit harsh for something as silly as rizz tag.

They're large flippered dog like creatures that take over docks and harbors.

That's what I thought it was until right now

That's a caveat I inform people of beforehand. I am really into movies, but I have very discriminate taste, so I don't watch very often because movies are generally dogshit. All my friends know, I will watch anything with them, but I'm going to talk mad shit the entire time. This is a really fun group activity in most cases, and often helps less informed people see through the bullshit that is modern media, but sometimes there's someone who doesn't get it, or needs to hyperfocus on the screen.

That signifies to me:

1. This person doesn't understand the point of hanging out in a group
2. This person falls for blatant marketing
3. We will probably not be good friends

You're supposed to vaguely imply the existence of those, not just give away secrets in public bruh

It replaces paying for Spotify because its possible to download Spotify premium. Best of both worlds. Use Spotify or YouTube to find stuff, send it to a seedbox, load it later at home.

Biggest downside is most phones don't have SD card slots anymore.

Could be a picture of all of them sitting in cardboard boxes

I mean, I like the picture, bit you could have a cat a squirrel a coyote and a horse all doing this and say all animals are the same. It's kind of just how quadrupeds stretch.

Not wanting unnecessary “features“ that are just thinly veiled spyware that overcomplicate every aspect of driving is not a boomer opinion. Wanting buttons you can feel without looking for instead of a giant screen that has automatic updates and needs to have access to your cellphone for basic functionality is not a boomer opinion.

Knowing that tacking voice activation onto every 'smart' device, including vehicles, is just an excuse for companies to record everything you say for their shitty marketing isn't a boomer opinion.

In my experience doing tech work, boomers love that shit and fall for all of it, and it all fucks up in some way much more quickly than should be allowed.

If we want to get conservatives on board with environmental protections, we should just start a conspiracy that the perceived rise in trans people, gays, and autistics is due to plastic ester groups in the environment. Then tell them that these groups are represented in the media so much now because the petrolium companies don't want us to see it as a problem when the science breaks.

Brb, gotta go convince some trumpers single use plastic is making their kids gay.

Semi pro chiming in here: the infographic took an idea and ran the wrong way with it. Women are more sensitive to color, but it has to do with the context. They pick up more subtle colors without direct comparison. Its not that men can't see the difference between lavender and piriwinkle when they're next to each other, they're just more likely to think their the same color if viewed sepparately.

It's also worth noting that around age 35, both sexes lenses have yellowed enough that there's no notable difference.

Nail clippers it is.

Most of the grass i have is different from my neighbors, so I would assume it's some kind of native saw grass. The blades are significantly wider and more coarse.

I don't know what bind weed is, but I like dandelions okay. You kind of have to, you're never going to win against them.

Just tell yourself bees like them.

Where im at, if I didn't mow until June my lawn would be three feet tall and i'd have several tickets. Still, I don't mow until may, and then just the front for another few weeks.

You want biodiversity? Don't weed, don't spread any pesticides or growth chemicals, and don't let the natural grass go so long it chokes out the other plants. And the real key, is don't do any of those things for years. From the street, my yard looks like a yard. It's a different color than the neighbors, but it's still green. Up close, it's a salad. More violets, Moss, clover, flowers, wild lettuce, and a hundred things I can't identify than grass. Its full of bees, caterpillars, beetles, butterflies, and stick bugs.

I got my neighbor on board, and we're single handedly keeping fireflies alive in the city. I started seeing bugs I haven't seen since I was a kid.

As an added bonus, since it's a smaller proportion grass, I don't have to mow half as often to keep it looking 'nice'.

I'm not an ecologist, but I feel like it's a solid step in the right direction.

Well yeah fuck that guy and this program and it's implications, but this particular issue doesn't sound too unexpected considering the scope of the procedure.

I'm all for the science, but you know this is going to be some directly streamed ads hellspace we'll never escape from if it comes to fruition.

Here's a good rule for this sort of thing to move forward: No implants before right to privacy and freedom from advertising.

I say since the eighties because thats when the pseudo minimalist home design and plastic siding started, and all furniture became laminated particle board, and fucking everything starting turning beige and grey for "resale value". Everything became so commercial it had no substance, and we quit making things that would become antiques because they became garbage.

Make everything utilitarian, but make it so poorly it fails at it's own utility.
