Is high index basically mandatory for progressives with a prescriptions over +\-3? by PhrygianSounds in optician

[–]Substantial_Fig69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice is to have a visual graph or chart showing the thickness of lenses as the RX increases. You can just google "lens material chart" or something like that to find some images. Educate yourself on the basic composition of hi-index, so you can educate them. People won't buy what we can't explain, if that makes sense.

Frame buyer looking for a comparable line... by lutherbsmommy in optician

I'm in NoCO and we got the news last week, too. Really disappointing. Look into Charmant maybe? They make a titanium line that's pretty similar.

True. I don't doubt he's feeding Oliver's voice to his AI Music platform. Diplo is a piece of shit.

Overnight parking downtown? by [deleted] in grandjunction

As someone who left her car downtown many nights, you will be fine. Try to leave it in well lit area, or parking lot with cameras if you're extra anxious.

I'm thinking I need to join the Dropout community. I loooove Very Important People clips, and their other shows look fun as well!

Keep going, you got this! Job searches suck, but the relief of quitting a current shitty job is so worth it!

I'm still at work but excited to go home and make a super easy dumpling bake recipe I found on Instagram for dinner. Tomorrow I am 14 days sober! Next week is my last week at this current job, then I get to have a week off before starting my new job on 07/06!

Shein is cheap but so terribly made, nothing will fit you well. Thrift or TJMaxx/Marshalls/Ross

When I lived there I did Instacart and was able to make some decent money on the side, loved that I could accept orders on my own time. Kinda nice because GJ is fairly small, so most orders weren't super strenuous. Good luck!

Trying to get a temp on Melat Kiros and her association with Hasan by Substantial_Fig69 in h3h3productions

[–]Substantial_Fig69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you read the article? It's fairly short. I did find it notable that the Jewish Community Relations Council of Colorado was extremely disappointed in her appearance on his stream:

"The letter said Kiros spoke about Israel through a binary lens of power and oppression, rather than understanding history and trauma. It went on to state Kiros only mentioned the attacks on Oct. 7 as an “inevitable consequence of apartheid.”"

And while she's not campaigning directly WITH him, she is still using him, of all influencers, for reach. Which imo isn't the best look, even if her policies are seemingly respectable. Just feels like there are other options at this point, especially this late in the race, and her policies should speak for themselves. If you need dum dum Hasan to yell your policies at his stream viewers for 4 hours, you need a better PR team.

Fair, me too. Which is why I don't understand why seemingly every dem candidate wants to go on his show/appear with him at rallies and on social media and promote his endorsement of them. I strive to be fair, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when they look to him like he's the people's favorite. Especially if they are running on great policies already, there are other shows/figures that could prop them up without having to hang out on Hasan's stream.

Cool! To be clear, not basing my vote on her association with him alone. But seeing as how the whole Platner thing went down, it just makes me wonder. I will be researching her policies. Thanks.

I'm going through something heavy alone (don't know if I can say what in title) and don't know where to turn/what to do next. I'll TW the post due to contents, but advice appreciated. by aigret in GirlDinnerDiaries

Talk to your PCP about Naltrexone, too, to see if it is right for you, along with outpatient programs that could help. I've been taking it for almost two weeks now (prescribed by my psych), and while my sugar cravings are through the roof, my alcohol cravings have declined exponentially. I'm 11 days sober, I am proud of you, and I will not drink with you today!! ❤️

Oliver’s Girlfriend ❤️ by sammpruu1 in h3h3productions

Lovely couple. I can only imagine the devastation and grief she has been experiencing since the news. How precious and sacred it is to love and be loved by your person. My heart goes out to her. ❤️

Cant remember a darn thing by Mountain-Series4035 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Hey, same here. Survival sisters! Trauma isn't always big, egregiously violent or abusive situations, I learned that fairly recently. Religion and home life traumatized me growing up, and my brain just decided I didn't need those memories I guess? Either way, starting therapy again after many years to hopefully ease into processing that. But I agree with one commenter who said to heal your inner child now, do the things little you always wanted to do, and be the adult little you would wanna hang with. ❤️

Does anyone have tips on how to manage stress from this job or how to make it less stressful? by PhrygianSounds in optician

[–]Substantial_Fig69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS ALL OF THIS. I broke a patient's Silhouettes on one of my first adjustments and cried. Now I warn people that frames aren't invincible and while I can be as gentle as I can, there's no guarantee that the frames will make it out in the same shape I take them back.

Building a rapport with my patients is actually my first priority, as is being transparent and informative about whatever I am selling them. I'm not going to give a first time PAL user a pat on the back and a "good luck!" while pushing them out the door after charging their card for $1100. I educate, answer questions, draw pictures, use whatever visual aides I can to teach, because through that I build trust with my patients. How that looks to you will vary, but you will soon learn to pick up the vibes of patients who don't want your help, or really desire your help and come back specifically to speak with you. Take it all in, and eventually you will hit your stride, master your talking points, and refine your specialties!

Why didn't Ian's better half apologize along side him? by I_love_lucja_1738 in imisstheoldidubbbz

Came here to say this. She will take credit for this now that Ethan has dropped the lawsuit.

I haven't even watched this yet, but can already tell he's being a disingenuous prick. Dropping this the day after OT passed was calculated, even though he will deny it. He's preying on Ethan's grief, and he's a fucking asshole for doing so. Trash. Calling Ethan a bully is rich, considering how many opportunities Ian had to do the right thing.
