    Thank you for the tip, this aura only appears when using my new glasses, not with my current ones, so I'm not too worried it has to do with my eyes specifically.

    Yes. Not sure about the “survival sandbox” part of it but otherwise it looks good to me.

    The #LEGO order I just received includes:
    • 1 Star Wars blaster handgun
    • 1 revolver
    • 4 rifles
    • 1 Witch/wizard hat
    I don’t know what they’re building but I’m into the magical-infused gunslinger archetype.

    I have astigmatism, and I'm nearing 40. What I am frustrated about is that my current glasses are fine, I just go to the optician yearly because I pay extra for vision insurance and a yearly pair of glasses is covered. And the last two pairs I had made felt worse than these I have had for 4-5 years.

    Ok, that’s what I thought, thank you for the explanations. When I wear the new glasses, anything beyond a couple of feet is doubled until my eyes adjust which takes more time than with my current glasses, and then it still is almost imperceptibly blurry, although the comparison between the glasses makes it clear, especially looking at bright objects which light “spills” around them like an aura.

    I think I know what these are, but I don't think my current glasses are like this.

    Cherry on the cake, the first glasses I was given to try at this office were really wrong, because they weren’t mine but we had the same first name. 🤷♂️

    Thank you for the advice, I don’t think there’s something particularly wrong with my eyes, my current glasses are fine for close (although I started to have a minimum viewing distance but it’s age) and more importantly for far away.

    And even if I brought the current prescription to another optician, I’m not sure what I should expect from my new glasses, which makes the whole experience frustrating.

    Over the last years, I've been to the same optician twice and each time the new glasses felt worse than my current glasses. I'm not talking about the usual discomfort when changing glasses, even after letting my eyes adjust, it just is blurrier. Should I just change optician?

    Getting another reason to leave #Netflix after I did for the awful Dave Chappelle special feels bittersweet.

    ♲ @taylorandcatz@twitter.com: Can everyone please stop streaming the new Jeffery Dahmer documentary? The victims families have made it CLEAR they did not want this out, and netflix is profiting off of their trauma without consent

    Wage increase is a nationwide Prisoner's Dilemma: if everybody increase their wages, everybody profits from it, but if you're the only chump to increase your employee's wages, the joke's on you, so it requires a strong ideological motivation to still do it.

    Spotted again the classic centrist fallacy in the wild: “ It's not reasonable to assume that all outcomes produced by [a biased process] is biased.”
    The strong centrist belief that both good and bad are distributed in equal manner makes them easy prey for bias launderers.

    No, like the article explains, changing the orange timing has no effect on behavior, only on citations. Meaning that once the change is enacted and the number of automatic citations spikes/drops shortly after, it doesn't evolve further, and simply plateaus.

    I would hypothesize the delay between the infraction and the bill sent by mail means that there's no hope of changing the behavior since the punishment is too far in time from the behavior.

    If it doesn't change the orange light behavior, it certainly won't push people to entirely change their transport mode, especially in the US where the public transport offer is almost inexistant outside of dense metropolises.
