It's also kind of contextually obvious? I don't know either the Dr or the athlete. My internal reaction to the original post was "wow, negatives is some extreme misogyny -- oh wait, they were talking about glasses, is this about her prescription? Oh, I see, 'could have phrased this a little better'. Yep, it's glasses prescription, and other people misread it. Lol this is funny!"

But hey, we all make dumb mistakes! Super embarrassing to make them online, but we've all been there. You just say "oh, shit, I showed my whole ass, huh? My bad guys, I'll try to be more careful in the future!"

It's not hard at all. Doubling down is literally the only reason this person is catching flack. People need to learn that "sorry" is not the same as saying "I agree I'm the devil and you should hate me". It's taking accountability in an extremely simple, basic way. It's literally just the most basic skill of living in a world that has other people in it. 🙄

this is, as the kids say, frying me (a glasses wearer)

Seeing as how the Big Beautiful Bill just passed, here's are some websites that offer discounts on medications:

- GoodRx

- SingleCare

- Pharmacy Checker

- WellRx - this one compares prices across different pharmacies

- Cost Plus - thanks to @thedamnqueenofhell for suggesting!

Stay safe, everyone. Things are about to get much, much worse in the US.

EDIT: if you're worried about doctor/therapy appointments, see if there's a sliding scale clinic near you (and ask your therapist if they offer sliding scale prices)

decentralize and clean up your life!!!

oh also? An absolutely freaky thing I'm seeing yt leftists do?

STOP TRYING TO TRACK DOWN PROTESTORS THAT DO 'BADASS STUFF'. STOP POSTING ABOUT IT ONLINE.

PEOPLE FUCKING DIE.

AND IT'S USUALLY SOMEONE MELANATED.

THE GOVERNMENT IS WATCHING YOU FUCKING DUMBASS.

y'all are so stuck on egoistic heroism that every time someone does something 'sick' at a protest you wanna turn them in to the next celebrity to have a parasocial relationship with and then they go missing.

Tf is wrong w y'all.

If it comes from parents who model the behavior they want to see, then this is good parenting.

The problem is that many parents don't model this behavior. Many parents are authoritarian and rule by fear. Many parents take advantage of the fact that they're bigger, they control the finances, their power is upheld by society, and their children are dependent on them. And they complain when their child starts treating people the exact same way.
