    I really don’t know what kind of answer I am expected to give, following yours.

    Perhaps, I don’t care how americans think and how they treat individuals with different views in life is reasonable?

    The fiation with fitting (forcing) individuals into labels, then attached to groups, to isolate people is hideous.

    I do not care about the sexual orientation (or lack thereof) of an individual in order to engage with that person on a personal, social or professional setting.

    I am dealing with a human being with the exact same aspirations I have and, as such, that person is worthy of respect by default.

    If a single word is viewed as a taunt or whatever it may be by default, even if the person using it explains the reason for it, that alone states that any atempt of dialogue in stunted at the bud.



  • Are you me when I was back in school? Is this a loop hole?

    Yes, much of which we learn in school seems/feels unnecessary to a perceived/imagined/planned personal future but its the variety of subjects that creates the basis for multi layered reasoning.

    I am painfully aware Lemmy is mostly populated by high technically proficient individuals but the world is not about to be handled by machines and AI, not now and I risk not ever, simply because there are tasks that can not and should not ever be handled by a machine.

    IT and tech is not the cusp of human achievement.


  • You had a bad experience. I respect that. I have not.

    Unless we can force a certificate of origin from your local optician for the lenses and the frames, there is a good chance we are actually purchasing material made in PRC.

    Regarding service, I’ve used glasses for so long I learned how to maintain, fit and fix minor damage to my glasses.

    And regarding quality, even when I paid a lot more money, a pair of glasses would last for about a year, give or take a couple of months. I get the same time from a cheaper set of glasses. So, no gain in spending more.

    In my understanding, sprouting from my native language, which is not english, “lifestyle” means how you navigate through life, as in how you dress, speak and act amongst people. It has no denigrating conotation.
