How many fucking letters can I use? I’m sick of editing this shit, just fucking accept the bio, damn.
- Comment on Cotylorhynchus, a genus of late Permian synapsids. It's herbivorous and it's huge gut was possibly necessary to digest the nutrient-poor plant life it fed on. 19 hours ago:
I feel like this is one of those models we’re completely wrong about.
- Comment on OP solves the male lonliness epidemic 1 week ago:
I bet we could tweak the language to be pretty persuasive. Those guys are known for believing some bullshit youtube ideas.
- Comment on Is there anything Lemmy has more/better content for than Reddit and other mainstream sites? 1 week ago:
Conversation, mostly. By the time I quit reddit around two years ago, every top comment was a repost of a previous joke, or some predictable mutation of one.
Anything that went against the common preconceptions was shutdown immediately. I’m an expert/professional in a few niche subjects, and the final nail in the coffin for me was any comment I made turning into a fruitless debate with armchair experts too dumb to even understand why they were wrong, while correct info was downvoted to invisibilty.
None of this helps you crosspost, I’m aware.
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 2 weeks ago:
First order: Greed Crimes
Any white collar crime done for the sole benefit of enriching one or siphoning money away from citizens or workers.
Regulatory capture, pyramid schemes, political bribery, hidden tax havens, environmental distruction, writing bills like citizens united, cutting social services, forming monopolies, competition buyouts, blatant conflicts of interest, etc.
We have hate crimes, when something is done out of hatred for a people it is given the harshest penalty because it hurts an entire group.
The thing is, greed crimes ruin the lives of thousands and millions, possibly everyone, and in my opinion should be capital offenses.
We need an investigative oversight committee that stop all functions of a person or company while looking into accusations. If found guilty, a company is dismantled, an individual is executed, their will is ignored and all assets are liquidated and used to remedy the situation that was created.
If found not guilty, you’re closely monitored by the greed crime committee for an agreed period. If you are accused of three sepparate greed crimes and different times, even if found not guilty, you should be considered a bad faith potential, and exiled or removed from any position of power.

I would’ve been with you until I saw Grumper Pig.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
I want him prosecuted, and freed by jury nullification.
Let them see that yes this was murder, but the people agree with it.

I have noticed the stopper is occasionally harder to pull out, so I’m leaning toward this.
I guess I’ll have to get a few more bottles to expiriment.
- Comment on why is my whisky evaporating? 4 weeks ago:
In the 1800s absolutely, but since the discontinuation of leaded products, significantly heavy glass with tin, aluminum, titanium or other metals added for strength and sheen has been deemed crystal, with the previous material being designated as leaded crystal.
I’m an avid antique collector and have needed to know the difference for several years.
If you reside in the EU or Britain however, disregard those statements, as they still have legal definitions of crystal on the books.
- Comment on why is my whisky evaporating? 4 weeks ago:
True, but if it helps it was an error of editing my post out of order, not of mistaken grammar
- Comment on why is my whisky evaporating? 4 weeks ago:
And they also add condensation to the inside of the bottle?
- Comment on why is my whisky evaporating? 4 weeks ago:
It was pretty clever to use a spray bottle to add condensation to the inside of the bottle. I would of gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you pesky lemmings.
- Comment on why is my whisky evaporating? 4 weeks ago:
I had considered that I wouldn’t see condensation from alcohol evaporating, but I only noticed the level visibly dropping with Jim beam specifically.
It could be as simple as the difference in color absorbing more heat from light, I suppose.
- Comment on why is my whisky evaporating? 4 weeks ago:
No lead. It’s not great quality or antique, I just liked the shape.
- Comment on why is my whisky evaporating? 4 weeks ago:
Between 65 and 74
- Comment on why is my whisky evaporating? 4 weeks ago:
No roommates, my partner doesn’t drink, and I can see condensation in the container.
- Comment on why is my whisky evaporating? 4 weeks ago:
None

Sharks are older than trees.
They’re older than a lot of things. Land plants, Yellowstone, appendages,dinosaurs, doritos.

It’s color is black, but it’s not black the type. Cold brew, espresso, and chickory are also blackthe color, but they’re not what you ordered if you wanted black the type.

I know everyone is here for the same thing, and we’ve all been correcting this image since it showed up five years ago, but an Americano is not a black coffee.
It is however, coffee that is black, but if I ordered one and got the other, I’d know somethings up.
Also, I really don’t know why people drink americano. To me they just taste like cigarettes, but I’m currently drinking chicory so my opinion is moot.
- Comment on I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America. 4 months ago:
If you can’t tell the difference in quality between zenni and OvvO, lool, or paradigm frames, you’re willfully ignorant. I wouldn’t expect someone who only gets glasses online to know this since you have no experience. I however do.
As for issues with lenses, I see 25 patients a day, and have for the last 12 years. I’ve seen a few more cases than you and your wife, or even you and your friends.
Your opinions are not equal to my education and experience. I am literally an authority in this industry.
I’ve designed frames and vetted manufacturing plants to find one that fit my standards for materials. I make lenses everyday. I troubleshoot and fix or replace eyewear everyday. I know what happens when a focal point is off center by 3 mm. I can tell when someone is wearing online glasses just by how the temples fit.
There are a few very large companies that benefit greatly from pushing the idea that they’re all the same, and you’re shilling for them whether you know it or not.

I don’t feel like quoting or typing out responses, so I’ll just hit your points.
-
No they’re fucking not. Not even close. There’s 200+ different manufacturers, and even individual lines from the same companies have wildly different qualities. I would know, since I work with them every day, go to several trade shows every year and didn’t get my info from Google.
-
Survivorship bias, and you just noted you don’t wear them.
-
This point is attempting to imply there is no difference in products, which there absolutely is.
-
My line of frames is not a “big name”, and was only sold in 54 offices in 4 countries when I had them manufactured in 2021. There is no benefit to me for anyone to go to any store other than the two I own, you’ll never bump into my line, which I don’t make money from anyway.
I’m glad you watched a video once, but this is my profession and I know better than you.

Just wear sunglasses when outside and you’re good. Or get transitions and never think about it again.

Blue light filters have a purpose, but it isn’t eye strain. That’s just marketing bullshit from people who don’t know it’s purpose or can’t be bothered to translate it to laymen.
It’s purpose is to protect your retina from damage that accumulates throughout your life. It’s to protect you from developing macular degeneration. It does nothing anyone will notice, it’s more like sunblock, except you can’t feel the burn.
Also if someone sells you shit products, go to someone better if possible. But avoid chains at all costs.

I’m an ABOA advanced optician, I’ve helped with lens designs, I’ve made my own line of frames, worked with every insurance company, and know the technical details of virtually every product on the market.
If it’s going to cost the same either way, do not get the online glasses. The 250 in store is discounted from probably 1200$, and the difference is immediately noticable.
The online glasses will not be measured to fit you properly, the focal point will be a best guess, which makes progressives have a ton of distortion, the frame won’t be adjusted and have no standards of material and shitty spring hinges, the transitions will be an old off brand composited lens that will delaminate after some time, the antireflective will be the cheapest, smudging crap possible, and the lenses will be thicker and heavier.
Go to a local optical, not any chain you’ve ever heard of. No corporate execs to pay means actual paid professionals helping you see better, as opposed to collision salesman trying to rip you off.
Online glasses are for single vision rx’s for children, not anybody who really needs glasses.

Hey now, some of us can handle our drugs just fine. Don’t judge the entire world because a fraction can’t tell themselves no.
- Comment on Make it stop. 5 months ago:
As the population of people raised on the internet increases, you’ll see far more anger responses to the idea that being raised on the internet is bad for you.
Nobody wants to believe they might not have done it right.
That being said, kids generally do dumb things, and your initial comment seems a bit harsh for something as silly as rizz tag.
