  • I got corrective eye surgery cause glasses were an annoyance on everyday life. Can’t see from some peripherals, weight on your nose and ears, annoying when you lay down, cuddle etc. They bump about, and fall off if you’re active (such as parkour and flipping). Also forgetting or relying on them to see was always irritating, they fog up, smudge, etc. Just generally a hassle I did not want to deal with any longer. They also break, are expensive, and potentially need multiple pairs if sensitive to sunlight, have different prescriptions, or need safety glasses.

    I’m sure they’re fine for most people but they suuuuuucked in my case.


  • I don’t go to fast food often, I walked into a McDonalds for the first time in maybe 1yr +? They had the kiosks for self ordering, I looked at the prices and “deals” and decided that the cost/experience ratio was just not worth and just left. I can go to a restaurant or cook myself for those prices (and I did, cooked enchiladas).

    It doesn’t seem affordable/worth it even for a one-off now





  • I once consulted my aunt (PHD English professor) for a small stakes bet ($5) because a friend and I were discussing whether or not letters have any fundamental rules on how they are written.

    Turns out, no, they don’t. I.E. if I write: Hello there, ¥¶®×°∆| Kenobi. As long as ¶®×°∆|" is understood as “General” than according to (american) English it is written “correctly”. There’s no edict that states a " T" must be written in that shape, therefore, any symbol that’s understood intent wise is correct.

    I lost that bet, cause WTF, how is that acceptable??




  • This is the problem I’ve encountered. Anime is fine, it’s like any other show/entertainment but it really can attract the wrong type of people. It’s why I don’t put it in my profile. The person I’m seeing has plenty of “horror” stories like yours too and said they avoid people with that in their profile now even though they like it cause of how weird or obsessive people can get about it.

    Kinda sucks cause IMO one of the best parts about it is the ability to create other worlds/universes that live action struggles to do. (Think ATLA anime vs Live action)
