NINTENDO TOOK THE SPLATOON 2 SOUMDTRACK DOWN DBAKDBSLDNSKDNSKDNSKDNSKS THIS SHIT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF MYE LISTENING TO IT I AM DISTRAUGHT
hey i just wanted to put a quick post up for people that may not know, cuz i certainly didnt until a couple years ago, but the whole prescription glasses industry is a massive racket, and i wanted to let people know about the more affordable options for buying or replacing glasses
when you go to an optometrist to get your eyes tested, they take a lot of measurements and will give you a prescription that lists things like how near or farsighted each eye is, spherical and cylindrical measurements for astigmatism, etc, but one measure they almost always leave out of the portion they give you is your interpupillary distance, that is, the distance between your pupils, measured in millimeters
the reason they leave that out is because if you have your full prescription, including the interpupillary distance, you can just go online and buy glasses from a place like zenni optical for less than $20 USD. and if you go and buy them online, thats ~$200 they dont get to bilk from you
so, you have two options, you can either request your interpupillary distance number when you get your eyes tested, which they cant legally withhold from you because its medical information
This Is Specifically Enforced By The Federal Trade Commission!

they dont get to withhold this! a lot of them will lie to you, or try to skirt around it, because they want your money. raise a fucking stink. this is an argument you can win.
the other option is to measure your interpupillary distance at home, using either a ruler and a mirror, or a phone app which is made for this purpose

once you have your full prescription information, you can buy glasses online, made to your specific prescription, for well under a TENTH the cost of ones you would buy at a brick and mortar store
Xhosa translations
I remember mentioning helping with those, so this is me trying. It's so hard reading these amazing stories and then in the middle of the journey being accidentally sworn at. Sometimes translation engines don't do the best job at translating.
So this is me trying to help those who will take the help. I'll write down the most common mistranslations I stumble upon ever so often.
Because most if not all the times some words in Xhosa do not exist in English and visa versa, or there's no translation that would make sense I'm offering some alternatives.
English to Xhosa translation of words, phrases

me{whilst writing a comment on youtube to sleep music}some time last year.(guess i went all out)(0~0;)
I just want to tell the people who really need to hear encouragement for all their hardships.
This comment section is filled with absolutely broken ,vulnerable and kind souls,who have had their faith tested and trialed.
maybe not religiously ,
but there are so many of us,people like you and me,
who have almost given up on life after losing everything,
those of us who long for pure love and affection,
the dreamers who yearn for the untouchable ethereal stars,
the writers who have lost days on end,
feeling hopelessly empty on the inside.
desolate and pessimistic and at times cynical as well.. to all of you.
NO, TO ALL OF US..
I am not going to tell you that everything will be better,
if i did that then i would be giving you false confidence,
life doesn't always give us times of hope and rewards for our hard work ,i know that it isn't fair
but it teaches us so many things that we never could have understood
nor believed take place in our cruel world.
I know that there are those times
where we just want to disappear,
to question your existence in the mirror,
to feel so much pain that you can't express in words ,
to be able to look up at the beautiful night sky ,
to just lay on the grass and not be bothered about anything else,
to not be able to tell those people whom you normally converse with ,
about our problems and guilt and responsibilities ,
to get the countless things that you have to get done today. . .
GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST.
Some times we all just need to breathe.
just keep breathing !
because i hope and wish and pray that all of you ,
whoever you may be ,if you needed that reason to keep hangin on ..
I hope that this message reaches you !
to tell you the truth, to tell you that you are not alone ,
I feel you.
I know how it feels but still after all that I have gone through here I am..
Still fighting my battle, an absolutely imperfect and an extremely broken person
but still I smile when I feel happy because
I am who I am
and you are who you are
and we are perfect and brave and beautiful and handsome and amazing and strong.
that's why i want you to keep holding on!
because one day someone in this world will see you as i do,
they will see you as an amazing and strong and brave person
for fighting all that you have been through.
They will embrace and accept and kiss your scars and will love you for you ,for the real you.
So keep fighting!
because you deserve to be loved and adored and all you have to do now is breathe.
don't take up other's bullshit.
don't get bullied,
don't feel devastated over a breakup,
PLEASE,
PLEASE DON'T TRY TO TAKE YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF WHAT SOMEONE DID TO YOU!
YOU ARE SOO BRILLIANT AND SO AMAZING AND SO UNIQUE AND SO YOU !
I WANT YOU TO FIGHT WITH ALL THAT IS LEFT IN YOU ,
WITH THAT TINY AMOUNT OF COURAGE,FIGHT
AND SHOW THOSE WHO DARED TO TOUCH YOU , MAIM YOU OR SCAR YOU ,PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY,
THAT YOU ARE STRONGER THAN THEIR MAL INTENTIONS AND THEIR INHUMANITY.
PLEASE, SHINE BRIGHT AND KNOW THAT
STARS SHINE BRIGHTER THAN EVER IN THE PITCH BLACK SKY
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
AND LOVE YOURSELF
YOU ARE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE,
JUST KEEP GOING ,
ONLY A LITTLE WHILE LONGER!
for those who have read this message until the end , I know you needed that ,I hope it helps you!
