    Cows are smarter than they look. Long ago I worked in a dairy operation and they would do things to fuck with you… like if you weren’t super careful in a milking stall they’d casually lean to one side (“oopsie! my bad”) to squish you. Or let the poop rip at just the right moment.

    I don’t blame them one bit.








  • So it doesn’t bother you there are only two choices every four years?

    Of course it bothers me. Which is why I donate to and help with the campaigns for progressive candidates. But our political system is not going to change any time soon and throwing up your hands because the choices aren’t perfect is counter-productive. If you do that, you end up with LESS choice. By voting and voting consistently you open the door, even if it’s just a crack, for more progressive choices. By not voting you ensure that we continue to be stuck with two bad choices.

    Real progress has been made. And the real enemy of that progress is apathy.






  • There are now machines (Autorefractor) that will (more!) accurately get your prescription auto-magically. A couple of years ago I went to place that had one, but where the doctor also checked the traditional way. The results were the identical.

    I’d guess that inside of 10 years you will just get your prescription by computer and that inside of 25 surgery or other solutions will be automated and permanent. This industry of charlatans will be no more.







  • Horse shit.

    To the point where it’s clear it’s a waste of time to list all the things the Biden admin has accomplished or all the good policies they stand for. You would just claim they are not important or didn’t happen to the same degree.

    But truly I’m happy for you that you are in a position to be able to think only the macro level and ignore all the real positive change because it just doesn’t affect you. Congrats.
