I only got my first pair less than a year ago. I probably should’ve had them for awhile. They took a bit to get used to, but I like them. Since I didn’t get them until I was in my thirties I haven’t considered contacts or lasik or anything else.
I’m here to satisfy my addiction to doomscrolling. Bring on the memes.

The model we have (that’s only a few years old) works like this. My favorite is when it’s trying to get back to the dock, it’ll just move aimlessly until it accidentally reaches the vicinity of it and can make it home. A lot of times it runs out of battery. Or gets stuck somewhere (in the same spots because I can’t tell it to avoid problem areas).
Every once in awhile both my husband and I will drive around the block past our house on the way home when another car is behind us. He does it because he likes to back into the driveway and doesn’t want to make the other person wait. I do it because I’m afraid I’ve been followed home.
93maddie94@lemmy.zipto WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone•Monday motivation... what are you looking forward to this week?4·12 days agoIt was the first day of school where I teach. It’s my fourth year here (11th teaching) and new years are always new adventures
When my now-husband and I first moved in together we ate out more than we do now and when we did make food we “cheated” a lot. We had some frozen meals and premade stuff. Over the years we have refined a lot of our cooking skills. We go out maybe once or twice a month, delivery in rare circumstances (we’re much more likely to do carry out) and eat at home most nights. Our grocery bill is around $400 a month for 2 adults and 1 preschooler. That gets us breakfast, lunches, and dinners. My husband will probably go out to eat for lunch once a week. Going out to eat is at least $30 if not $60+ for us and that’s not sustainable for every meal.
I literally sat in my car during a 2 hour lunch break yesterday because my colleagues went to different places and I wasn’t explicitly invited to any of them. Anxiety is fun.

93maddie94@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Florida judge strikes down state law used to ban books: 'None of these books are obscene'21·22 days agoI’m very grateful that my district where I teach has very specific library guidelines. Books cannot be challenged based on gender or sexual identity only. Books cannot be removed based on a single passage or paragraph, it must be removed or retained on the content of the entire book. Challenges may only come from parents, employees, or those that reside in the community and they must read the material in its entirety, and then they are excluded from the committee that makes the final decision to retain or remove the book. Once challenged the book cannot be challenged again for 5 years, and only one challenge can happen at a time. Of course, I feel my district would bend very quickly at any state or federal pressure, but at least for now the libraries are left to those who have degrees in library science and hold teaching licenses.

The gameplay and story work best in the original version. The chronological story is just interesting to see what information the characters are working with in later scenes and to see some parallels.
93maddie94@lemmy.zipto Games@lemmy.world•Day 393 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playingEnglish5·24 days agoMy husband is playing the chronological version right now and literally finished this part when I scrolled past your post. He played this game when it first came out; we stayed up all weekend to finish.
93maddie94@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA1·24 days agoI’ll follow our pediatricians advice.
It looks like the percentages are based of a total of $37.95, so it’s possible there was a discount included that made their total closer to $30.
Not saying this isn’t real and completely scummy, but sometimes the tip is calculated before discounts, gift cards, and whatnot. I always tip based on what our total order was even if what we paid was less. If this is truly trying to fudge the numbers to take advantage of people then that’s shitty.
93maddie94@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA11·28 days agoYes, but I work in an elementary school and she goes to preschool full time so it’s not bad to be cautious

93maddie94@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA14·28 days agoMy three year old got her first round of Covid vaccines as soon as she was able to and then boosters ever since. My husband and I have both gotten flu and Covid vaccines each year. I guess we’ll have to see if there’s a different way to get her protected this fall…
I would kill time with this for a little while but over the last few months the audio lag has made it unusable in my opinion. After opening and pressing play it would take a few seconds for it to start playing, and then after swiping to the next one the audio from the previous one would keep playing for a few seconds. I could swipe through like 4 or 5 videos until the audio would catch up. Also, the hashtags are nice but at the moment they function where I have to select one, watch it, swipe back to the hashtag page, select another one, and repeat. I want to just be able to scroll through hashtags or someone’s account instead of clicking on individual videos (like you used to be able to). My following page gets stuck after a few videos where I can’t scroll anymore too. I’ll reopen it when the update drops, but there’s definitely issues to iron out.
93maddie94@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What were your parent's rules on video games?4·1 month agoI grew up with a gameboy advance sp that was a gift from my grandmother and we got a family Wii when I was about 12. I don’t think my mom knew much about the ratings but we weren’t allowed to play much besides mario kart and Wii sports. I started playing more when I moved out at 18.
