go to the optician to get your glasses cleaned, adjusted, or repaired. it is free. it is literally always free.
my partner is an optician and virtually none of the people I know are aware of this so. PSA.
most of the time this does not even require an appointment; you can call ahead to confirm that they take walk-ins, but any optical store/practice is gonna provide this service.
they can't charge for adjustments or repairs because they'd take on a ton of liability in doing so; offering it as a free service gets folks to come in to potentially shop for new glasses, and it means that if they break your glasses in the process, they aren't liable to pay for or replace them.
if you try to make adjustments/repairs yourself and you don't have the training or tools to do so properly, you run the risk not only of making the problem worse, but of making it harder (or impossible) for an optician to fix them. (don't fucking glue your glasses please oh my god)
get your glasses deep-cleaned, adjusted, and/or repaired. please. it's free. it's literally free.

this is an insanely dumb kind of thing to ask but um. Andrea (shaggy tormented girl) gets very upset at her friend’s specific kind of distortion of the truth. the (perceived) retroactive change of intention to absolve herself of being mean. or whatever. yeah um. is that a thing? is that a thing that people get? what is that associated with? cause i rarely get like that but i hate when i do because it will always be perceived as an overreaction (and a lot of the time it will be).
Being upset with someone for essentially being mean and then being dishonest about being mean, if that is what you are asking. It could be a misunderstanding sometimes, or it could be calculated. It's just one of those things I guess. If calculated, it is really upsetting to have someone... basically try to trick you out of confronting them with a problem. I don't think that being sensitive to it is necessarily "associated with" anything in particular because there are a lot of reasons why you could be sensitive. It depends on you.
Everyone on earth struggles with balancing self-respect and grace and honoring their perceptions and also leaving room 4 the ambiguity and complexity of other people's intentions and style of interacting with others. Emotional reactions like getting upset is sort of like... Ur fire alarm goes off. So U know there is a problem, but that indicator can't tell you how to diagnose the problem (burning food on stove? massive conflagration in living room? low battery?) or the process of responding 2 it, you have to use your creative mind to make a plan and your rational mind to evaluate and adjust. If U let the sound of the fire alarm make U crazy then U just end up smashing fire alarm and throwing it outside and then U lose ur security deposit and maybe dying in a fire... So I guess what I'm saying is this is a natural faculty of your mind but if it causes you problems it just requires some creative thought. Conflicts with people are opportunity to deepen the connection with the person and conflicts with ourselves are opportunities to learn self mastery and become more powerful in the world so the obstacle is very much the path. Gewd luck

My original poll had significantly fewer “Yes” responses than I had expected, which got me really curious about how people’s ages affected their answers. If you voted in the original poll, please select the answer that aligns with your original answer!
Ran out of room for a 31+ option for that last one but that’s ok, this poll isn’t meant to be scientific.
If I did my math correctly, 20 years old is the youngest you’d have to be now for you to have realistically used Google Buzz in the ~2 years it was active. And if you’re older than 30 now, my assumption is that you probably would have already had other social media accounts when Google Buzz came out so you wouldn’t have bothered using it, if it was even on your radar.
Please make sure to reblog this if you vote! I am really really curious to see the results, especially since as of writing this, only 3.02 of the people who voted in the original poll used Google Buzz, including me.

The ATLA planet is roughly the size of the moon and has about as much gravity, which allows them to jump as high and lift things as heavy as they do. Compared to real life metal, the durability of their dirt, minerals, and metals is lower and may have higher porosity.
I think the humans in ATLA and TLOK have, compared to regular humans:
higher bone and muscle density
ultra fast epidermal healing, relative to regular humans'
bigger lungs
lower functioning nerve receptors
All this to explain why Korra, Aang, and all their friends can be thrown around like rag dolls, be near extreme sources of heat and cold, and not instantly die.
