A rare summer rainy day in seattle! It's overcast and wet and lovely and perfect ☁ ☁ 🌧 ☁

Related: my subjectivity has free will.

The states of The Universe in its totality does not.

There's no contradiction there.

Add "time is fake" to the category of "philosophical positions profoundly influenced by my experiences of dissociation".

The only reason we think of causality as moving forward in time is that we subjectively experience time as flowing in that particular direction.

There's no a prori reason to say that event A causes later event B. It's equally logically possible that B is causing A.

Really though I find it more meaningful to say that directional causality is a hoax and time is a static series of connected relationships.

(I just unlocked the bus that takes you to the desert)

I wore the contacts for ~two hours, then took them out for hours ago.

My eyes still ache.

They weren't even that bad while they were in.

:/

Like okay sure getting up-to-date lens strengths is good.

But I am confident that the which particular lenses optometrists have you try on and then write a prescription for is more a function of marketing than anything else.

Oh okay so, apparently the way contact lens prescriptions in the US work is that you get a scrip not just for a lens power, but for a specific brand and model of lenses.

How does the optometrist figure out what to prescribe? You try on a couple options and tell them which one you like. It's literally preference.

You can't just tell a company "oh I need this brand and this power" and have them ship it to you. You need a specific prescription that's less than a year old.

Bullshit.

Wearing contact lenses for the first time after using spectacles for the last >10 years.

It's weird.

Also does anyone have suggestions for where to go to find cheap sunglasses?

I will always, always choose a sushi place that has a small selection of basic but high-quality nigiri over a restaurant that had three dozen novel and exciting rolls with a paragraph of ingredients apiece.

idk maybe I really should buy a copy of Ableton and learn how to do stuff.

There was this software called Swinger that would automagically edit a song to go to a swing beat, and I'm really sad I can't find it because I've thinking for a while that The Mother We Share by CVRCHES would be hecka cool swung.

(I'm actually mostly okay but that's my mood anyway?)

Today's Mood of the Day is: the hideous screeching and flailing of a dinosaur stuck in a tar pit.

There's a last time for everything.
