Thanks! My barrier to using crypto has been this first purchase element. Because afaik crypto is not inherently pvt and anon?

Do you then need to buy the crypto anonymously? I’m always confused about that point


Hey man, don’t harsh my brain’s knee jerk attempts at coping


Dammit. It’s not an Onion post


Useful clarification, thank you. I’m not sure where my vision is at. I definitely do the thing of taking my glasses off and back on depending on what I am doing. But even with them off I’m starting to find some print hard to read — mainly the small print on products. I’ll have to see. I’m overdue for a new prescription. Also getting intermittent splotches of white in my periphery so that’s a new fun thing to worry about.
Reminders of aging bodies + of capitalism’s negative impact on us: this post has not cheered me up today lol


I appreciate the clarifications, thanks! Yeah, I agree on that slow creep of vision loss. I’ve been nearsighted a long time and am now losing my reading distance vision. But I can still read without glasses, and so I do. But it’s probably not as sharp, and I suspect that might lead me to read less than I otherwise would


I don’t understand this statement, tbh. Or the odd antagonism of it. Are you saying all people above the age of 42 need to be wearing progressive glasses?


Apologies, I thought adjustment just related to the frames. Would they be swapping lenses, in this case?


Sounds costly. And, at what point do you know they are properly aligned or not?


I mean, given all this, how tf is a layperson supposed to get the right product?


Nice, thank you. I just have a Lodge. Haven’t had any gripes about it, but curious what difference would come from leveling up


What is above Victoria?


I wouldn’t mind seeing a few examples as well
I’m on mbin, after kbin. It’s clunky but passable. I wish they’d get rid of some of the aternative jargon (thread vs post vs magazine) among other changes
There’s that echo chamber at play
Yes it is. Because immediately you are faced with having to pick a server. And then grasp and navigate the fediverse, which depending on the use case is not as straightforward. There’s generally more hoops to make things happen. Depending on the server you pick, the UI is not all that intuitive. And then you have things like mbin forks which swap terminology.


Like with the latest season of The Bear, it felt like they were milking their aesthetic a little too much. I partially don’t mind it because overall American TV needs a bit more of that.
More than bigger, I want more accessible interior spaces. Like cyberpunk, but you can go into other people’s living spaces
