I'm 42, dude. Limited mental energy. I would gladly be part of your server, though ;)

For years I was the only one in my family that didn't wear glasses. When the doctor told me I needed glasses, I was so happy. I found glasses distinct, elegant, and, in girls, very very cute (my wife just started wearing glasses... wowza!).

My "real" me, the one I like and recognize in the mirror, has glasses on. And it's not one of those glasses that pretend they're not even there -- it's a thick black frame that dominates and complements my face.

I could totally get away with not wearing glasses in some situations, but (1) I like the visual comfort, and (2) I love wearing glasses.

Get the glasses that make you feel like yourself.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but hey, I'm happy for you!

It just seems obvious to me that there are interesting distinctions between LGBT relationships and non-LGBT relationships. I get that just by listening to what gay friends tell me about it. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving any more detail, an LGBT person would be in better position to respond.

I hate to advertise Reddit, but the people at /r/tipofmytongue are crazy good at this kind of stuff.

I don't know what you mean. That is just common practice in websites like this because of copyright law. If the law changes, the practice will probably change as well.

I gave some attention to World of Warcraft Classic - Season of Discovery. It is certainly enjoyable to have a lively world with plenty of people interacting everywhere, but the nuts and bolts of Vanilla are largely the same. The slow leveling, the 1-hour cooldown for my Hearthstone (the item that takes me back to the Innkeeper I set), the fact that I must be physically at the dungeon location to enter an instance, and the demands for being highly social for a bunch of basic stuff feel exhausting. A lot of time I need people for group quests and runes, and the mere thought of talking to strangers is discouraging. I realized that, while I enjoy social interaction, that is not necessarily true for the majority of my playtime. Classic Wrath always feels like a good compromise for me -- it is still Classic and the open world is still relevant, but it has a lot of QOL that makes it manageable for me. The Hearthstone cooldown is 30 minutes, I get my first mount at level 20 instead of 40, and the Random Dungeon Finder puts me in an instance automatically. Granted, there's not a lot of people on Wrath right now, but I still enjoy leveling my character, leveling mining, getting ready for Cataclysm, and making money on the auction house. I found a nice wholesome guild, but it seems that most people are just playing SoD.

Sorry, I forgot top add a negative. It should read as "I ran a Windows Defender scan and nothing showed up.".

That is my thought as well. We'll continuously change the definition of intelligence in order to preserve the notion that intelligence is inherently human. Until we can't.

It was pretty great to receive dozens of full articles everyday without any bloat or ads. Just text and maybe a few images. I suppose it is possible to subscribe to apps that aggregate several sources in a practical manner, but then you'll be restricted to their selection.

I don't see how RSS could identify, prioritize, and remove duplicates between different sources in the same category. If I understand correctly, those are not really duplicates, but rather different articles on the same subject. Unless you are talking about a more complicated system or manual curation, I don't think that is possible. I don't believe I had much trouble with duplicates within the same feed, maybe I never subscribed to many feeds that do that.
