- Comment on How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription? 49 minutes ago:
Exactly. So the damage doesn’t come from looking thru lenses. Thus not having minus lenses available is pure BS.

The ophthalmologists in the room have spoken.
I call it bullshit. No ophthalmologist has ever gone to jail because some dude with myopia ran over two cats and a cute puppy dog. Usually, whoever is driving gets into trouble.
But let’s think for a moment. If wearing glasses that are not your prescription actually affect your prescription in some way, then couldn’t we figure out a way to reverse near-and far-sidedness? Like if you’re near sighted and then use +10 (strong positive lenses, thicker in the center) maybe that makes your eye revert to better vision. And vise versa for far sighted people wearing -10 lenses for say 2 hours per day or something.
Instead of the bull, I would love to be able to find some glasses at the Walmart that I can use because I just lost my prescription or something. If there’s a lens center position problem that too could be adjustable.
In short there’s no reason. Its just how dumb things work.

Yes, that’s where the weights come into play.

Me too. Hey, ignoring the issue at hand, get weighted toric contact lenses. Just do it one time to try.
When I did, I realized what trash normal lenses are. Getting the lens and astigmatism corrected on the eye results in some pretty dramatically sharp view. It’s crazy, I started observing the stitching on carpets and the hair in the shower. I had never cared for either thing because I just can’t see it normally.

You die and your last thought was…is there penis enlargement in heaven? Suddenly you wake up going at hundreds of miles an hour into a big cloud. Just you hanging on tightly to a rope that is pulling you into the cloud. And you hear…yes!..yes indeed! Indeed there is! But you don’t want it. The voice getting louder and louder as you get closer and closer. You start noticing the earth getting smaller. You can see your house from here, you think…I know right? It replies. The rope! You can see its details, there are no threads on it! Just the feel of rubber. Look closer, there are interesting patterns on it…unique to… Wait are those veins? …yes!..and why is the cloud hairy? Is there penis enlargement in heaven? …yes!, now get off mine! The voice insists now as strong as if you were in a concert theater. It’s not rope! You’ve been riding Peter’s penis! …yes, well I was sleeping and its morning! Peter explains. Sorry bud! Looks like it got you!..he flings you off with a finger and you fall into a busy heaven street. Everyone looking at you happy and naked. We were expecting you any day says Jeff your buddy from highschool… Yup, he’s a grower, not a shower!
As it turns out everyone used to live infinite lives until peter got his penis extension. Now every morning here, as he gets his wood, someone gets smashed by it. When he wakes up and the thing goes back to normal they get up here same way you did bud!..well sometimes it’s not just one. Sometimes its a bunch at a time. Anyway, its two blocks that way, then to your left. Can’t miss it! … Wha?..the penis enlargement place…oh…

We should never forget the hydrogen Bob that ended the beautiful country of Samholy, that famous Samholian country just 2 miles west of SanDiego’s Petco Parker. One cup of pure water contains more than enough hydrogen to do that and more. Samholy, ah yes the beautiful country of Samholy.

Its overcast now so it is not bothering me. I just thought to post this in case some was thinking about designing a new park somewhere.
- Comment on Park shades not working 1 week ago:
It provides shade for most of both benches exactly at noon in summer time. Any other time you’re SOL.
- Comment on Park shades not working 1 week ago:
These are that. Just a mesh. I’m getting a sun burn. Just why? Can’t it be like an aluminized polycarbonate roof thing? That’s cheap material that has longevity under UV and blocks UV.
- Comment on Park shades not working 1 week ago:
Use your knuckle! The sun will be coming from the south east and setting south west. So if you had an umbrella you could point it south facing?
Even better! Make the umbrella move!
Or more beterer…make the shade laaarger!
Any of those things can be better than 1/8 of a bench available any hour past 2pm.
