    I got corrective eye surgery cause glasses were an annoyance on everyday life. Can’t see from some peripherals, weight on your nose and ears, annoying when you lay down, cuddle etc. They bump about, and fall off if you’re active (such as parkour and flipping). Also forgetting or relying on them to see was always irritating, they fog up, smudge, etc. Just generally a hassle I did not want to deal with any longer. They also break, are expensive, and potentially need multiple pairs if sensitive to sunlight, have different prescriptions, or need safety glasses.

    I’m sure they’re fine for most people but they suuuuuucked in my case.

    It’s just a feature I think a of of people find attractive, big or small. For most people I think it’s not necessarily a deal breaker but a small +/- towards attraction. I can’t tell you exactly why I like certain features like the nape of the neck, just that I do. I’m not going to dismiss someone as a partner for it either but it’s a small +/-. Height is just the mainstream version of that cause a bunch of people relate. Some people like to be made to feel big or small by their partner, height differences can do that.

    There will always be the shallow people who dismiss someone entirely based on something like that though, probably best to avoid those people.

    I once consulted my aunt (PHD English professor) for a small stakes bet ($5) because a friend and I were discussing whether or not letters have any fundamental rules on how they are written.

    Turns out, no, they don’t. I.E. if I write: Hello there, ¥¶®×°∆| Kenobi. As long as "¥¶®×°∆|" is understood as “General” than according to (american) English it is written “correctly”. There’s no edict that states a " T" must be written in that shape, therefore, any symbol that’s understood intent wise is correct.

    I lost that bet, cause WTF, how is that acceptable??

    It’s especially sad because he had empirical evidence washing his hands worked! New birth death rates dropped and when he eventually opened his own practice death rates were the lowest ever seen. Though he got bitter and angry towards the end which lead to being put in the psych ward. Honestly though, if you knew people were killing babies by negligence and were an empathetic person you’d probably end up the same way regardless of who you are.

    IIRC, the hand wash was a chlorine one that was pretty rough on the skin so people didn’t like to do it. Additionally to accept what he said Dr.s would have to accept they have been killing babies this whole time. I believe one Dr. Agreed with Sammelwise and killed himself because that knowledge haunted him so.

    I do photography and have thousands of photos, I have like actually 10 of myself, and those were mostly taken by my friend with the intent of putting on dating apps.

    Online dating has evercerated my self confidence though. So I just detest photos of myself ever more.

    So trail mixes are kinda based around this IIRC, the nuts get processed slower for longer energy and the sugary bits (raisins n such) are fast energy for the now. So when hiking or doing such activities you can boost your sugar levels immediately as well as have them maintain as the foods are processed.
