No it's the right flag, but you're right about it needing a thin blue line.

I've always been dyslexic with lefts and rights, or perhaps their names? Even now I have to catch myself most of the time when I say the wrong one.

I'm a little bad with numbers, that got worse after a head injury, so now I frequently confuse 6s and 8s in addition to the usual 'was it 2493 or 2349?' kinda things. As long as I double check my numbers I can do math right, but if it's just a number sequence, they get a little mixed up.

Mines very mild though, and I've met/seen people that take a solid minute or two to parse it when they're corrected.

I know a "NEET of 8 years" who basically won't try at anything because of this. I kind of feel like its an excuse to be lazy, but I can't say for sure.

That could go either way. I've heard (from family or friends) of people that have it so severely, they can't trust themselves enough to accurately read.

That said, it could also be an easy excuse to avoid trying, but ultimately without consulting or being diagnosed by an expert, you only have their word to go on as to the severity.

That's definitely true. I got some once that had very little holding the arm screws in, and the screws got lost or the joint broke easily or what have you. Then I decided to specifically search for ones with a broader joint and these just don't break unless I fall on them or something.

Sometimes a lens pops out and I can't put it back in because they're half-frames, but there's a local shop that fixes that for free (though I try to tip cause it does take time from paying customers).

1 guy 1 jar, actually, but you were close.

I haven't seen the video but I read the interview (equally gross), and it's kinda like that. I don't remember it hitting the floor but he admitted that it got a little crooked when it was going in, which was one of the main contributing factors.

Apparently he had done it before (and continues to do so) with no issue because he filled them with water first, so the density counteracted the tension.

Also he was like 50ish when it happened.

I get mine from zenni, they have pretty decent prices. I got prescription formal, informal, and sunglasses all for less than $200. I know that's still quite a bit but if you consider the math, that made 1 pair like $60.

Also, I know not everyone has extra money laying around, but I physically cringed (no offense) at 'donated glasses'. Every time I've even tried another person's glasses, the prescription difference made my head hurt within 60 seconds, so it just seems odd to me.

Either way, you helped someone out, and thus random internet stranger is proud of you!

You right, not like they're LW, blahajzone, or dbzer0 admins. They certainly aren't better, but they're not worse either.

/s but they probably will.
