Imagine America is an institution for the mentally feeble and it will suddenly make complete sense.
Nah, no way. Their scam has been working great for over two millenia. Why would they give it up?
The Catholic church will elect another magical thinker in chief and he'll carry on peddling magical thinking. What else could happen?
I can well believe that.
Whoever it was, it wasn't Dubya, anymore than any of the shit Trump is doing was his idea: both are much too dumb to come up with any of this.
I left the US 24 years ago. I saw all this coming when Dubya shat out the USA Patriot Act.
The US has been a fascist country for decades. Just ask any Gitmo detainee... Now it's official.
I have some cheap hi power magnifiers for close work.
We have those at work. Really useful. But the double-glasses thing is more for when I have to thread a need at home, stuff like that. And I always have a pair of folding glasses in my backpack, because you never know.
Have you tried some of the online shops like Zenni? They were half the cost of going to an optical shop, with the same features.
No, I went to my local optician, for one reason: I only had the lenses made to order, and the instructions for making them were rather precise because they're mounted in 3D-printed frames I designed myself. Also, I wanted Trivex lenses made specifically by Hoya and nobody else.
So my local opticial took care of ordering the blanks from them (you can't order direct from lens manufacturers, sadly) then having the blanks edged with my template tool and explaining to the shop how to use it. It's not that any of this is super complicated, but if anything went wrong, they were on the hook, not me.
I have progressives but they're getting a bit insufficient in the near vision zone. But they're still good 95% of the time, and considering the price of progressive lenses, every once in a while I don reading glasses over my regular glasses for precise work on tiny things.
Large social media cesspit connects with other large social media cesspit, can create giant cesspit.
Except he doesn't give a fuck. Haven't you noticed?
I think that ship has sailed.
The country has been quite comprehensively fucked over at this point.
It's okay. Yes, the megarich will become even richer, but it's worth the sacrifice because the price of eggs will come down eventually.
Any minute now...

I have lived in 7 countries, and you're correct: the entire world is dumbing down. But I found nowhere as fast as in the United States. Also, it matters more because the US is (still) the richest country and the most powerful military power in the world.
