Where do you live that cops deserve respect? Nobody DESERVES respect, least of all due to their shitty job. If you want respect you earn it, and cops have been doing the opposite (in north america) since their inception.

People said the exact same thing about reddit being only good for technology enthusiasts and porn in the early days.

In my experience that is just how it goes on the internet. Nerds, furries, and porn collectors, are the early adopters for most places. The normies follow along years later.

(Almost) All settings if you don't act like an idiot/creep.

I'm getting strong 'pointy knees' vibes coming off of their comment.

1, This is not a citation

2, This is bullshit. All of it.

Cut it out.

With consent, and with cells from someone I know/love - Sure!

I also have severe malabsorption and can't process most veg at all. I have been told hundreds of times that I am lying, and that I don't need to eat meat. To some of these people it is better for us to suffer than to eat meat, while they claim to subscribe to a philosophy of reducing suffering.

Oooh. Yup. I need coffee. Thanks.

Sorry to fork the conversation, but I noticed nobody mentioned connect. Are these other apps really a lot better?.

On chromium check out deluminate.

I don't disagree on the whole. But I think that putting 'trust' in any bot would be silly. However, knowing how right-skewed the bot is and using its blurb as a single data point with that in mind, is better (to me) than just not having it at all.

 

This doozy was shot just two days ago. I never thought I'd have a use for it on lemmy!

 

Location: Canada

Background: When I first started wearing glasses the optometrist would just give me a piece of paper that I could take to any shop to get my lenses made. Then they started refusing that paper and insisting I either leave my frames with them for two weeks, or that I buy new frames.

And now it seems like even asking for the script, or the measurements, is 'against policy'.


I recently went in for an eye exam and some new glasses, and the optician said something I have never been told before.

I had asked if they could give me the prescription for my sunglass lenses since they don't deal with the brand that I prefer, and he said that I would have to schedule another appointment at a shop that deals with that brand, because the prescription was not enough, and I would also need the measurements he took.

I asked if I could have those measurements and he said it was against policy.

Is he lying to try to get me to buy new frames from his shop? Or is there something to what he is saying?

Confession - When he walked away I took a picture of the measuring app he had used which seems to show all the measurements.

Would this be useful to another shop? I'm just trying to buy lenses without spending a fortune on yet another frame.

It all feels like a scam.

 

Bonus:

I'm not sure which I prefer.

 

There are four from the most recent batch. But they are never all in one spot. And the parents don't come around much during the summer.

This mullein is now over 6 feet tall. It is my favorite wild plant by far.
