Myopia/nearsightedness is one of the most common reasons for needing glasses or contacts. The happy people you’re seeing online are most likely ones who only needed their distance vision corrected anyway (assuming the reviews were written by actual humans). I have farsightedness/hyperopia and astigmatism, and I’ve never really considered Lasik for similar reasons to you.

Haven’t seen anyone mention Slay the Spire yet. The original is under 600MB and the sequel (early-access) is 2GB. They’re both good! The first one is maybe a little easier, if you’ve never played them.

There’s a ton of different variations on Pixel Dungeon. Shattered PD is probably the most fully-developed.

At the zoo, by the meerkat enclosure, I heard a woman ask an employee “what kind of cats are those?”

I can run antiX on my old Dell Inspiron, with 4 GB RAM and a 500 GB HDD. It’s slow when it comes to browsing but it’s functional.

That’s my pick as well

I guess books fall in the “whatever” category :P I was majorly disappointed by The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton. I actually enjoyed reading about 85% of it, but the ending completely ruined it for me.

Less “wild animals,” more “oh fuck I twisted my ankle” or something mundane but nasty like that

Mmmaybe keep the phone on you in case of emergency but keep it on “Do Not Disturb” or turned off.

It was alright. The video game was better IMO. The Amazing Digital Circus is actually based on it.

Also the head is where all the sensory organs are, plus the teeth. Even if the headshot didn’t kill it, a headless zombie is much less of a threat.

Any random authority figure who might care about such a thing (undergrad admissions, jobs, grad school, etc)

Best answer so far

Damn you, Spiders Georg!

I have deliberately taken a break from painting, because we adopted a kitten and I am waiting for him to become less of a feline tornado before I break the acrylics out again

Didn’t see anyone mention the original Attack On Titan theme, which is surprising given how popular it was at the time

To nominate a show I actually watched beyond the first season: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Not enough to be an issue unless you already have diabetes or another blood sugar problem.

Dysphagia, maybe?

It’s most likely a displacement activity.
