  • I was very near sighted, had to wear glasses for everything.

    Got lasik.

    Now my vision is perfect. Procedure was not too unpleasant and was fast and professional. Cost was reasonable for a surgery on my eyeballs. Recovery was fast and not difficult.

    Now I can see without needing to put on glasses. No worrying about losing my glasses. No poking myself a dozen times in the eye to get contacts in.

    I am extremely happy with my lasik experience.

    Honestly, the person you talked to about the procedure was probably not upselling you. They told you up front and in plain english that you would probably still need glasses. There is no reason for them to damage their firm’s reputation by lying to you. lasik centers typically have plenty of business - their job is to inform you as best as they can, and make you feel like you will be taken care of and are in control.

    It’s natural to comment on a graphic when you’re face to face

    This might be why I feel like front graphics are more trashy. You are picking a thing and putting it in peoples faces, and it feels like a stand in for actually saying something and expressing ones self. Versus on the back, it functions more as an out of the way vibe that supports the way you want others to see you, but still allows you the lions share of expression





  • Open source? I mean, you could try finding language partners here on lemmy. Maybe make a language exchange community if there isnt one already?

    HelloTalk and Tandem are the two largest language exchange platforms I know of, but they arent open source. If you insist on open source, you might find some somewhat funtional but dead platforms - open source platforms tend to suffer from being on the shit end of the network effects stick.
