And then people want more engagement?

Anyone willing to share a tl;dw?

Can’t believe Perfect Days didn’t pop to mind. On a personal level, a great example of how potent that genre can be

So many options in Japanese cinema. It’s a more common genre there, or so it seems. Nobody Knows comes to mind.

At one point AV Club had a weekly print edition that had decent movie and music reviews. I miss having a go-to place like to learn about new media

I recently watched it for the first time and loved it. The disjointed flow of it worked for me as a mechanism to immerse in an experience of a person’s life. Like a speedrun. The themes - including never really launching into life, seeking to but never really connecting with others except post-facto, struggling to understand and metabolize losses, breaching out of the self - all resonated with me so that helped.

Random reader here. What’s a clean out?

More than bigger, I want more accessible interior spaces. Like cyberpunk, but you can go into other people’s living spaces

Thanks! My barrier to using crypto has been this first purchase element. Because afaik crypto is not inherently pvt and anon?

Do you then need to buy the crypto anonymously? I’m always confused about that point

Useful clarification, thank you. I’m not sure where my vision is at. I definitely do the thing of taking my glasses off and back on depending on what I am doing. But even with them off I’m starting to find some print hard to read — mainly the small print on products. I’ll have to see. I’m overdue for a new prescription. Also getting intermittent splotches of white in my periphery so that’s a new fun thing to worry about.

Reminders of aging bodies + of capitalism’s negative impact on us: this post has not cheered me up today lol

I appreciate the clarifications, thanks! Yeah, I agree on that slow creep of vision loss. I’ve been nearsighted a long time and am now losing my reading distance vision. But I can still read without glasses, and so I do. But it’s probably not as sharp, and I suspect that might lead me to read less than I otherwise would

I don’t understand this statement, tbh. Or the odd antagonism of it. Are you saying all people above the age of 42 need to be wearing progressive glasses?

Exactly

Apologies, I thought adjustment just related to the frames. Would they be swapping lenses, in this case?

Sounds costly. And, at what point do you know they are properly aligned or not?

I mean, given all this, how tf is a layperson supposed to get the right product?
