This is the first I’ve heard of the eye flap healing being the issue with lasik. I always thought it was the fact that they can only take off just a bit of your lens with the lasers, and then if that continues to change shape as you age (which is common to normal aging eye issues), they can’t go back and shoot more lasers because your lens has already become too thin from the earlier surgery.

10-15 sounds pretty short tbh. It can take years to write a book, and then 10 years later a company can just make a movie out of it and doesn’t have to pay you shit for it?

Are you trying to argue that twitter isn’t a shithole?

I checked one of those site traffic estimators and got 2 to 2.5 mil monthly views for 4chan vs 120 mil for twitter. So if every single 4chan user was a nazi, it would only take about 2% of twitter being nazis to equal that. Seems like there might be more nazis on twitter these days tbh.

The real question is why anyone would want to use more power than a regular search engine to get answers that might confidently lie to you.

Is this some kind of shell pattern clams have?

Did that at summer camp as a kid, but memories are distant so it’s hard to compare. Prob similar, I vaguely remember sweating like crazy
- Comment on 💀 💀 💀 1 week ago:
Just never been in that kind of heat before. It was oppressively hot, breathing felt heavy, and sweat was pouring out like a dripping faucet. Interesting sensations

I was in one the other day that was 118. My first time being in one so hot, and it was… surprising.

Too late , Musky. Tim Apple laid the gold tribute at the feet of the orange idol, so now he gets to do whatever he wants.

That was actually my intro to lemmy–not knowing who hexies were and arguing with them that if you want a real opinion about NK you should ask the citizens. But oh wait you can’t bc they live under a dictator who won’t allow info in and out. Of course that meant I was a shitlib who only knows western propaganda 🙄

Wait, wouldn’t it be legal for a country with legal weed to send it, just illegal go receive it in a jurisdiction where it’s illegal? Like if I lived in the Netherlands I couldn’t be arrested for mailing it to the US, but it’d get stopped at the border.

They’re technically not anymore. They used to be good old games but when they shifted to include a large percentage of modern games they officially became just gog.

Some of them are, but a few others feel like rehashing old themes without adding much. Still mostly worth watching imo

- Comment on Octopath Traveler 0 – Announcement Trailer 3 weeks ago:
I liked 1 enough until the first 2 chapters of all the characters were complete, but then it immediately felt like it hit a grind wall. With 8 stories it’s long enough already–why would they pad it out any further?
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 4 weeks ago:
I love how they just make things worse indiscriminately now. Like you’d expect that if a company turns evil, they make things worse for profit, but google often doesn’t even care about that and makes everything worse randomly.
The clearest example I have is the maps app, which used to let you tap once to clear the search and directions bars off the screen. They removed that in one update for absolutely no fucking reason, so now a third+ of the screen is blocked at all times. If that space displayed ads or something at least I’d get that they were making an app shittier for profit, but nowadays more often than not everything just seems to be shitty because they don’t give a fuck anymore.

This is the first I’ve heard about it in relation to a mental illness though. I always thought it was only used for things you need certain bacteria to fight off that for some reason yours isn’t working for. Wikipedia lists c. diff as one of its uses.

I believe that was in relation to phones–they said they never had to use T9 mode on phones that had only numbers, and went straight to qwerty phones.
