Need to make a primal scream without gathering footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh facts of Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
@dgerard
I donāt understand the hate for transition lenses. You donāt have to get them in frames last fashionable in 1982.
I guess the point is the dude wonāt have lasik.
Lasik? Rip those eyes out and put cybereyes in! For one hole glorious year I could see in infrared. (Sadly the company went bankrupt and they repoāed my eye, so that is why there is a hole now, at least I didnāt splurge for both eyes).
@gerikson
Lasik doesnāt work for every vision problem.
Thatās because it doesnāt use AIā¦
transition lenses = photochromic lenses
(i thought for a moment it was another term for varifocals, but no, Transitions is a company that makes photochromic lenses)
Duh, my bad. I thought it was something like varifocals too.
Photochromic lenses were a nerd staple when I was a teenager. Dunno if/how popular they are now.
@gerikson @dgerard Iām about to take delivery, next week, of my new photochromic varifocals
If youāre thinking āsounds cripplingly expensiveā, youād be right. Donāt get old
i am the guy of that age, and i would never get anything else, and yes fuck they are
