recent example is that viral "the real poverty line [for a family of four] is 140k" substack guy (who is apparently a VP at a portfolio company lol) where I've seen a bunch of rebuttals that are basically like yes the rent is too damn high but his numbers are bad and his methodology makes no sense

also completely unrelated to lrt, just a general observation...

no brave bird or I would've just used that lol

and then despite all of this... I boot up pokemon showdown yet again 😔

everything about that is evil but also crazy for them to be like "well we tortured you and you didn't like it so you're NOT ALLOWED BACK!!!"

I guess it doesn't help that I learned about this from an opthalmologist assistant who keeps telling people not to go to this because they're gonna get cataracts and go blind and then they do it anyway and get cataracts and come back asking how to reverse it

yep I just saw that and all I can say is no thank you 💀

not only is it real, apparently there are multiple ways to do it: they can put in an implant, burn out some of the pigment, do a laser tattoo, inject dye... and I'm pretty "everyone has the right to to what they want" about cosmetic procedures but fucking with your EYES is unthinkable to me

no but I did get the eye dildo (the thing where they touch this rod to the surface of your eye to measure pressure). with numbing drops thankfully lol

I keep saying this to noelle and looking at her with my big creepypasta eyes and she does NOT appreciate it...

If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.
