7·3 months agoI appreciate the consideration. Honestly, I can see better now than in my 20s thanks to years of conscious effort to train my brain to use that eye too. When I finally got a vision test at around five years old, I was already pretty bad off in the one eye, but the other was fine at the time, so my brain just kind of learned to use it for peripheral vision and not much else. Hopefully I don’t get macular degeneration or a detached retina, but what can you do but make the best of it? Take care out their folks, and get your kids eyes checked!

10·3 months agoAs far as I know only one company does, so uh, hope you like them because it’s that or glasses thick as a submarine window. Even with the -16 I can still only get to 20/50 vision thanks to the early onset cataracts caused by the extreme myopia. Is what it is though, I don’t complain.

17·3 months agoCould be worse, -12.5 and -16 in contacts for me. Prefer it to being blind though.

3·3 months agoI mean, not especially as far as guns go. It’s not like gun violence/negligence impacts my life constantly. The only reason I even own any guns beyond a few heirlooms is because of the rise of fascism and the fact that most gun nuts are right there with them. In my opinion and experience, there are larger issues with the US that feed gun violence and suicides, like the lack of social safety nets, public transit, rugged individualism, and the lack of representation in government. I’m not defending the absurd amount of guns in this country, and if there ever is a thoughtful approach to reducing the amount of guns in personal possession, I am all for it. I enjoy target practice, mostly with a 22 rifle, and would be perfectly fine with visiting a properly regulated range to rent a rifle and plink some targets.

5·3 months agoAll my guns are unloaded and in a safe, and my ammo is in a separate safe. Some people are complete idiots though and in a country with such liberal gun policies, this is the result. I am all for sensible gun control, and I hope this dumbass never gets their hands on another one, but knowing this country she still won’t fail a background check.
Yeah, but how many degrees of overlap?!


Season 3 of the show Out of the Wild takes place here. Beautiful scenary and if you like that type of show I highly recommend you watch it. Season 1 was solid too.
