      was trying to figure out what the stats are on vision impairment, and found this:

      https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/study-finds-most-americans-have-good-vision-14-million-are-visually-impaired

      A National Institutes of Health (NIH) study has found that although 94 percent of Americans aged 12 and older have good vision, the remaining six percent, or 14 million, are visually impaired.

      So 6% of Americans are visually impaired, and of those, 3/4 can be corrected with glasses.

        that is a fairly blunt assessment. ‘Correction’ is not a binary after all.

        After cateracts surgery I’ve got 20/80 vision in my better eye. Technically both eyes.

        HOWEVER.

        I have no useable depth perception. The retina on my left eye is swiss cheesed with holes and scarring from birth defects. My right retina has a major deflection in it and I ‘won’ the lottery in having it detatch post cateracts surgery (a nominally single digit percentage chance of happening) and thus needed further surgeries to correct.

        The sad reality is that I’m going to be fine. I’m going to survive the turmoil and probably make money in the process, because I’ve been lucky before now. I worry for people that haven’t been lucky. I worry for people that have been lucky but happen to be the “wrong” race. I worry for my gay friends that are looking at fleeing the country as an easier alternative. I worry for my trans friend that already has fled the country.

        The US has always had problems, sure, but nothing like this.

                I think people are misunderstanding your comment. There’s a saying “look in the mirror” which is used negatively when someone isn’t being self-aware. People are most likely taking your comment as a play of this idiom and it sounds like you are yelling at someone to be self reflective. It’s miscommunication

    Everyone’s talking about a loneliness epidemic and I’m here wishing I had fewer people around me.

        There was a solid 18 months where I woke up to a kitty cuddled in my arms and no alarm, no kids, no SO. Just work at some time in a few hours and a purring kitty.

        That’s very impressive! We had a swing dance club in my high school and they always looked like they were having a good time. I think the closest thing I’ve done to dancing is marching in formation in the Army, which does take rhythm and coordination. But there’s a certain “fluidness” to some people that my body just doesn’t have.

        I was terrible at swing! I can’t lead in dancing. I can run a bunch of troopies to set up some comms in the bush and no one will ever hear me as us kids were raised “dad works night shifts so be quiet” kind of quiet. But if a game plan while dancing is a learned skill, I never hit proficiency at it and I think it’s just not for me.

        Well done, you. You learned a skill I can only envy, and in under a year!
