  • I did not look up how progressive lenses really work before getting some.

  • The first time I got progressives and went hiking in West Virginia all was fine until we decided to descend the steep rocky trail. It was a horrible experience. One stumble and I'd probably need to be airlifted out. I had to go really slow. Everyone else thought I was being a baby and left me in their dust, so I was alone on the hillside unable to see my feet. It took me a full extra hour to make it back to base. I swore off that style of glasses. 10 years later I got a fancy car with a computer screen dashboard. If I wore my driving glasses, I couldn't see the computer. If I wore my reading glasses the road signs were blurry, so I'm trying these progressives again. They sometimes make me dizzy. At first I only wore them while driving, but I've slowly gotten used to them. I can't use them for [computer] work because I'd have to perpetually tilt my head up, but I often wear them for more than just driving now. If I'm going hiking I still use my old driving glasses. So I lug around 3 pairs of glasses...

  • Trump says homeless people must leave Washington, DC, immediately

    Jump

  • Because homeless people always read the news. And because of freedom.

  • Why doesn't the US name this state? Are they stupid?

    Jump

  • It has a name: "you pee". They just leave ir off of most maps because it is considered nsfw.

  • How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life?

    Jump

  • Just try stuff and see where it takes you. Talk to lots of people from different walks of life too.

  • Trump's distraction methods fall flat against Epstein uproar

    Jump

  • On the other hand the Epstein scandal, which will amount to nothing, is a wonderful distraction from them building concentration camps and deploying thugs to round up anyone they don't like the looks of.

  • Southwest flight descends 475 feet to avoid 'midair collision' with Hawker Hunter

    Jump

  • I had that happen in a 747 once. Your stomach just flips. Not something you expect on such large plane. The pilot said it was a "tea cast" maneuver to avoid a head on collision. He said the other plane was a half a mile ahead, which seemed like a long ways until I realized both planes were probably doing 600mph or something like that.

  • How do you lose alot of fat quickly with no exercise?

    Jump

  • Get really sick. Cancer will often do it. A broken thyroid. There are a number of GI disorders too.

    Am I alone in this feeling?

    Jump

  • You have to keep telling yourself that truth and justice and love will win in the long run even though it appears they are losing at the moment. Over and over you have to convince yourself to have hope for the larger picture.

    Some turn to religion and the promise of justice in the next life as that source of hope.

    Others look at not just the rise of evil and willful ignorance in history, but it's ultimate fall every time too.

    Are we in for a long dark time, or a short one? It is hard to tell. Look for the little signs of hope in the news rather than dwelling on the tragedies. They are there. It is the only way to stay sane and keep moving forward.

    Check out the posts by P.Terry's burgers in Texas; the success Mamdani had in the NYC primary; the young folks who are still getting married; the judges who are even challenging the Supreme court; the people who are installing solar panels in spite of the royal proclamations; the people still trying to come to this country to work in our fields; the neighbors who put your trash can back in your yard after the wind blows it out in the street. There are way more good people doing good things than there are nasty selfish racist pigs. Look for and draw strength from the good. The evil will burn itself out.

    I believe Trump's dementia will soon render him unable to hold his coalition of evil together and it will collapse. I hope it is replaced with something more positive and not an equivalent regime.

  • It's just loss.

    Jump

  • Are pets livestock, or did they miss a category of mammals? In the US there are more dogs than children.

  • US Congressmen praying inside the House of Representatives

    Jump

  • It appears to have worked. I guess that's why they think it will work for mass shootings of school children to.

  • Chart of traffic fatalities in American and Australian states and Canadian provinces

    Jump

  • Mississippi is raising their speed limit to 75. That should help.

  • An "unimaginable sum:" Trump's Big Beautiful Bill would appropriate $200 billion to ICE

    Jump

  • I guess they aren't spending it on uniforms. I wonder where all that money is going?

  • Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day

    Jump

  • It is probably being remotely driven from India and they just lost wifi for a minute.

  • Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus

    Jump

  • Which is why he had to be made an example of and executed. It took a few hundred years for his brand to be perverted into funding a gilded palace in Rome.

  • Yes, this is what people did back then

  • Also go outside to grab my paper to read the comics first.

    Razor bumps can now get you kicked out of the marines. Black men will likely suffer the most

    Jump

  • They'll have to come up with a different excuse to purge women.

  • Pittsburgh reduces fatal crashes and serious injuries for the fourth year in a row. Under Mayor Ed Gainey, the city embraced traffic-calming efforts

    Jump

  • I'm surprised the pandemic didn't impact these numbers.
