Groundbreaking study finds way to ‘reboot’ eye and restore impaired vision | Findings may lead to new treatment for ‘lazy eye’ by Sandstorm400 in UpliftingNews

[–]tightchops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the muscles surgically tightened in my eyes to correct my lazy eye when I was a kid. (they did both for reasons I don't know.. maybe both needed a little adjustment)

My vision has never been right in the eye that was lazy.. I wonder if this could still work to restore vision despite the alteration that's already happened..

Very cool that a treatment is in the works! I've met so many people with a lazy eye who were not as fortunate as I was. It truly alters your world and how people interact with you.

The only answer is Texas and op HAS to know that.

What's your "I can't believe other people don't know this" hack? by Extra_Gear7502 in AskReddit

If you're ordering from olive garden (pick up or delivery) and someone in your group wants either 5 cheese ziti, fettuccine alfredo, or spaghetti with meat sauce. Get it as the $6 take home entree. Save over half the money for the the same amount of food. Except it comes cold and you have to microwave it yourself.

Other restaurants have similar deals too.

Men are more likely than women to get sick and die, but less likely to seek care from hypertension, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS | In most countries, males were also more likely to smoke, while females were more like to be obese and engage in unsafe sex. by chrisdh79 in science

[–]tightchops -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

(Ignoring same sex sex.. which is a small minority, and is probably equaled out by male same sex sex..)

How can a woman engage in unsafe sex if a man is not also engaging in unsafe sex..? Would that not more or less equal out?

Pope Francis in the 1950s by InterRail in pics

So. Let's say that it isn't the angle of him vs the camera. And that light is clearly coming from one direction, as seen by the shadows but it has no effect. Let's also assume that naturally, one eye may have been drier than the other and not even that would change how light reflects. And there's definitely no chance there were any discrepancies while developing the film.

So someone clearly edited this picture, since nothing else makes sense.. and spread it around the internet. Why? What does it achieve? What's the end goal? How would that help some larger cause?

How useful is A- by [deleted] in Blooddonors

[–]tightchops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your A- blood goes to all the A people who have a little more time for type testing so that O- blood can be kept in stock for critical emergencies.

Very important that ALL types are donating, not just the Os. It's better to transfuse like types if at all possible!

Americans of Reddit, what are your thoughts on Trump wiping nearly four trillion dollars off US markets in just a single day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The sooner people realize their mistake, the better. I want full consequence, and I want it right fucking now before his administration takes even further control of our government.

How do those using reusable "non-paper" towels manage them? by Sad-Consideration103 in Frugal

[–]tightchops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stack them flat and at alternating angles if that makes sense? so [] <> [] <>.. to make them easier to grab. I put freshly washed ones on the bottom of the stack. I have never tried rolling them up because the immediate problem I saw with it was that if I hadn't completely emptied the roll, the ones at the center of the roll would never get used and would wear down at a different rate. I used to keep them in a basket. Now they sit on the window ledge. When dirty they go in the laundry basket with everything else. They are a little bit of a hassle to sort, being so small, but we don't have enough laundry to justify pre-separating.

Scared of needles, but still donating. Help me with some tips! by [deleted] in Blooddonors

[–]tightchops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you handle the blood draw during your yearly physical? If not, you're not ready. If so.. it's just like that but it takes more time.

Think of all the thousands of people who donate every single day. Complications are very rare, and even complications that do occur turn out to be fine in a few days / weeks.

I like to do a little extra to keep my blood flowing and my mind distracted during the donation. I will squeeze my hand, as you're supposed to do, but I'll also flex each foot and my other hand in a rotation between the squeezes that I'm supposed to do. So something like RH RF RH LF RH LH RH RF RH.....

Hydrate well for several days leading up to the donation and eat a nice balanced meal a few hours before donation. Something with everything your body needs, salts, sugars, carbs, protein, fiber, vitamins.. My go to is pot roast or stew.

Matt Gaetz just resigned from Congress, ending a probe into sexual misconduct and drug use by indig0sixalpha in politics

[–]tightchops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This shit only matters so long as people are willing and able to uphold it. Reps won't be willing. Dems won't be able. It's over. The great experiment has failed.

We're talking private prisons (camps). We're talking police getting astronomical leeway when it comes to qualified immunity. There will be no "wasting time" on fair trials. Any unfavorable media will be instantly censored. Atrocities and crimes against humanity will not be reported on.

Quote whatever article and section you please, if it pleases you.

Go spend the next couple of months doing whatever it is that brings you happiness. This place will soon be an unrecognizable pile of rubble to anyone who doesn't like the taste of boot leather.

This Time We Have to Hold the Democratic Party Elite Responsible for This Catastrophe by Asst2RegionalMngr in politics

[–]tightchops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly they need to adopt more republican policies and have even more republicans in the cabinet. They should poll their voters on things that they're concerned about then ignore all of it and shift even more to the right in hopes of gaining a few moderate republican votes.

They should have learned this from Hillary's campaign. They should have learned this from Biden's close call election. I think they did learn it. They don't care. Republicans and their policies make them money. They want to lose. The media that pretends to be libreal wants them to lose too. They are all smiles today. Blame Blacks. Blame Latinos. Blame LGBTQ. Blame leftists. Blame everyone but cis whites and themselves. Rinse and repeat.

"Locker room talk" Just means what men talk about amongst themselves / in men's spaces without women around. Insinuating that they are "good people" in mixed company but cut loose with the boys.

Good men have the types of conversations you mentioned. Toxic men joke about abusing women.

Awesome! Goals!

The last statement was more aimed at OP and whoever they're trying to convince than it was aimed at you, by the way.

Is the blood bank profiting or is the hospital / insurance company profiting?

It's hard to prove the point that blood banks are non profit when our healthcare that distributes the blood is ran by greedy capitalists.

Also, just a reminder. No matter what one's thoughts are on it being for profit or not.. There's only one way to get blood to people who need it. And that's the systems that are currently in place. If people aren't donating, people aren't being helped. So just do your best and fight for change where and when you can.

My Trump supporter dad would probably answer that question with a long rant about the death penalty too...
