  • Not that I believe this is real in any way. But there are ten chairs at that table. His interview could be like those predatory knife MLMs where they pack the room full of idiots to find the one apex idiot.

    Schedule:

    Ten at a time. Ten minutes each.

    Even if you space them out to the top of the hour you have time for a long lunch where you can commend yourself about being a drain on your species while staring at yourself in the bathroom mirror of a cracker barrel where you are scoping out some poor underage girl to molest verbally.

    Wait... What were we talking about?

  • Do you agree?
  • It is infuriating. I don't even know if I'd want the meds. But I'd like to have someone with expertise be like 'yes, that thing you have thought you are dealing with your whole damn life, and is reflected in every damn ADHD post making you cry at the idea that you are not alone, is real'

  • The Trump budget proposes $0 for climate research in 2026
  • Did I use an ableist slur? I don't think I did. And I don't believe in any gods.

    I'm saying that if the takeaway from the other user's comment was the word choice rather than the message - this signifies another win for the systems that seek to keep even the tiniest resistance splintered and ineffectual.

  • How do people keep snakes as pets?
  • Our snake Ruby (12 foot, 80lbs, red-tail boa) has been to kindergartens, old folks homes, random family reunions, and about 100 pet stores. She has never wrapped herself around anyone, hissed, or done anything aggressive. It sounds like your friends with snakes don't take very good care of them. Or they got troubled animals.

    Hopefully video is ok here. I love these little buns with all of my heart. We have 4 generations of them living around our little forest home.

    My wife misspoke and said "Neil Degrasse TITAN"

    So obviously I spent half an hour in a generative ai tool.

    Vans you say?

    This doozy was shot just two days ago. I never thought I'd have a use for it on lemmy!

    Anybody familiar with optician work able to tell me if this optician was lying?

    Location: Canada

    Background: When I first started wearing glasses the optometrist would just give me a piece of paper that I could take to any shop to get my lenses made. Then they started refusing that paper and insisting I either leave my frames with them for two weeks, or that I buy new frames.

    And now it seems like even asking for the script, or the measurements, is 'against policy'.

    ---

    I recently went in for an eye exam and some new glasses, and the optician said something I have never been told before.

    I had asked if they could give me the prescription for my sunglass lenses since they don't deal with the brand that I prefer, and he said that I would have to schedule another appointment at a shop that deals with that brand, because the prescription was not enough, and I would also need the measurements he took.

    I asked if I could have those measurements and he said it was against policy.

    Is he lying to try to get me to buy new frames from his shop? Or is there something to what he is saying?

    Confession - When he walked away I took a picture of the measuring app he had used which seems to show all the measurements.

    Would this be useful to another shop? I'm just trying to buy lenses without spending a fortune on yet another frame.

    It all feels like a scam.

    Another Double Bun

    There are four from the most recent batch. But they are never all in one spot. And the parents don't come around much during the summer.
