Until 2 years ago I started wearing glasses, and as soon as I started wearing them I noticed an immediate change in my perspective of the reflections, before it was not especially annoying, it was just that mainly the reflections of car lights were too noticeable to me, and a month ago I changed my glasses again after all that time and now I really wouldn't dare to cross a street at night because the reflection of certain car lights is too noticeable, it's basically as if the brightness of my sight lowered and focused only on the light of the car, basically I see like two suns in front of me when I have a car in front of me.

I am really worried about this, is it reversible?

I'm in my 20's and I consider myself a complete ignorant, in the sense that whenever I make a decision I always think "What would the future me do if I had more experience/knowledge?"

So taking advantage of this space in Lemmy, what lesson that you had to learn by force or that you learned by experience that when you were younger you didn't see you would teach your younger self?

And I mean lessons like: I must learn to love others, or I am worth more than I think I am.

My father died a week ago (me being his closest son) and hours before he passed away the hospital called all my family and friends of my father, and some piece of shit of those visitors took my father's phone that was on a piece of furniture next to him, and no one at the hospital realized who it was and the problem is that whoever it was that took the phone has 100% access to all of my dad's accounts that I wanted to close because HE IS A DECEASED PERSON, and when I tried to log into the account it sent an access message to the person who has the phone and that person not only warn google about suspicious login, but changed the password to make me not login anymore.

I tried contacting Google support but Google sucks, Google doesn't help with shit, they just sends you to an unmoderated forum for other people who are not Google employees to answer you for Google, and so now there is some piece of shit that has my dad's phone and God knows what for.

I know I can and should talk to the police, but the person we suspect of taking it is a relative who has always been the black sheep of the family and yes, I am afraid to denounce him because he is very capable of harm me, or telling someone else to do it.

Sorry for the bad english and everything in general, going through all this really sucks.

Edit: Thanks to all the people who help me.

I have no intentions of setting up anything serious, but I would like to occasionally talk to someone random, and although so far I haven't tried any app or website, I'm sure 99% of them will be complete garbage, full of micropayments and stupid limitations, well, practically like any app nowadays.

Does anyone know any app or website for this?

In the past I used to have EA Play (2 or 3 years ago) but for some stupid reason if I had for example Titanfall 2 in my library added for EA Play and then they gave it away in PS Plus there was no way to claim it in my PS Plus library because "I already had it added in my library", although it was for EA Play license and not PS Plus and during a year that I had EA Play they gave away several EA games that I could not claim precisely because of this and I find it quite frustrating not being able to claim games of a membership that I paid, I mean, even if I have it for EA Play is the same as having it for PS Plus, the game is not mine, it is "borrowed" while paying the service and it is more likely to pay PS Plus than EA Play, so I wanted to have them in my PS Plus library.

Now, that was in the PS4 era and now I have a PS5 and I don't know if that has changed anything, I remember contacting Playstation support and they couldn't help me claim a game that I already had in my account.

Edit: I already read about the merge of communities but it seems to me that in c/Playstation most of the posts are news, and if I ask something it will most likely be ignored or removed.

Recuerdo que hace muchos años en gran número de tiendas se podía "apartar" cosas dejando X cantidad de dinero, ya sea una tercera parte, la mitad. etc. Pero quizás excluyendo algunas tiendas pequeñas y humildes, ya eso no se da o no existe, alguien más que pueda narrar sus experiencias?

Entiendo perfectamente que con el aumento de la criminalidad y las estafas, las tiendas ya no se puedan permitir seguir haciendo eso, pero esto también dificulta adquirir bienes con la inflación y el aumento de costo de vida, y en general joden al consumidor porque las tiendas esperan que compres algo "a paguitos" simplemente para endeudarte más y cobrarte comisiones a largo plazo con el efecto placebo de que ya tienes lo que deseas.

Tengo interés de ingresar en la UNED pero realmente no termino de comprender el modelo de Educación a Distancia, hay alguien que este cursando su carrera en esta universidad que me puede dar una breve introducción?

Tengo entendido que ellos te dan los materiales en físico o digital y tú simplemente te presentas ciertos días (me parece que una vez al mes, o dos veces al mes) a tutorías o a exámenes, pero eso es todo?

No estoy menospreciando la UNED, simplemente me parece raro su modelo de estudio, que por supuesto requiere mucho tiempo y dedicación tratarse de un modelo autodidacta. Y entiendo que su modelo "no es para todo el mundo", ya que esta mas enfocado en personas que tienen muchas responsabilidades y no pueden presentarse a clases presenciales en otras universidades.

Que hay de los trabajos en grupo? Hay clases en linea o remoto?

Es fácil solicitar una beca ahí?

Gracias.

I don't want to offend anyone by the term "generic", but by that term I mean the typical Youtubers who generate the same repetitive content over and over and over and over and over again and it's usually content that is made with little effort and often with filler, such as unnecessary jokes. For obvious reasons I won't even mention specific names.

I for example use Youtube exclusively as a learning platform, I can't say I'm a "fan" of any Youtuber because I'm not really there to watch the weekly/daily video of a content creator, I just jump in and if I want to learn about something I just watch it and that's it, I don't get distracted watching anything else.

I hope no one feels offended because it's not my intention but it really makes me curious how some Youtubers can earn thousands of dollars in donations in streamings where they just play a video game, and when someone donates they don't even pay attention to it, I don't even think they need the money.
