I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.
Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I’ll never use a crappy blender again.
Anything else like that?

Welcome to my boat, my inattentive brother!*
Yeah, I was actually looking at Zenni Optical already. I’ve managed most of the prep, including setting up my virtual try-on and finding out how wide my glasses need to be (my overall head size including my fivehead is “gigantic” but apparently My face with is only “large” 😁) so now I just have super technical stuff to find out. So technical that I’d need to ask my optician.
How exactly am I gonna get someone who’s evidently paid partly on commission to give me the data I need to buy somewhere else? 🤔
*by which I mean that we’re in the same boat and I too have enormous trouble choosing things. Hell, I’m pretty sure I got the wrong prescription the last time because the uncertainty of my ADHD/anxiety combo made me so uncertain which image was clearer some of the time 😂
For me here in Australia, my yearly check up (although I only go every two years) is paid for by the govt. Back when I was at uni and super poor, I still went to my childhood optometrist cos I still lived at home, she lived within walking distance, and why not? And over the four years, she’d do my exam for free, then give me all the info I needed to be able to go to the super cheap optometrist to get them made there. This was back in 2003, way before we had all these budget options we have now. So, being able to get a pair for $180 as opposed to the $500 my childhood one wanted for hers was worth it. To be fair though, her range was pretty damn stylish compared to the other.
And I dunno if you’re saying that in case you think you might be offending me, but even if you weren’t, a phrase like that would indicate you’re an ally anyway! Also, who can get offended by being called brother? Although, I am male, maybe that’s giving me some bias… Anyway, my weirdness aside (it’s friday night, I’ve had a couple of beers hahahaha), yeah, shit. It’s fucked. I actually get a double length session when I go now (still for free!). Twas my first time seeing this optician and she asked me “do you have ADHD? Or maybe youre otherwise neurodivergant?” And I was all “yessasssss…?” So now we take longer and do more stuff. I’ve never really fucked up, but there’s been some glasses I’ve had where I’m like “yeah, this is like 85% instead of the 100% the last pair were…”
