Good news for everyone with blurry vision or a strong desire to become Superman. The Ocumetics Bionic Lens may give you 60/20 eyesight — three times better than 20/20. It’s a major leap in eye prosthetics, takes 8 painless minutes to install — and could be here sooner than you think.
turn me into a fucking cyborg
Imagine if when people get it, they start seeing crazy shit.

Muhammad, an African American women’s saber fencer, first made history several years ago when she became the first Muslim woman to compete for the U.S. in fencing. Now that she has qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Muhammad is making history once more.
“I want to compete in the Olympics for the United States to prove that nothing should hinder anyone from reaching their goals — not race, religion or gender”
I think Donald Trump is going to need an exorcism after hear that. #Love it!
Something to be proud of in this school month of Black History!
She’s also the creator of Louella which is a modest fashion line!
Welcome to your 30s, where it seems like everyone except you has already done what they were supposed to do. You are still role-playing the responsible adult while also secretly playing with Toys R’ Us Lightsabres.
“Stop comparing where you’re at with where everyone else is. It doesn’t move you farther ahead, improve your situation, or help you find peace. It just feeds your shame, fuels your feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately, it keeps you stuck. The reality is that there is no one correct path in life. Everyone has their own unique journey. A path that’s right for someone else won’t necessarily be a path that’s right for you. And that’s okay. Your journey isn’t right or wrong, or good or bad. It’s just different. Your life isn’t meant to look like anyone else’s because you aren’t like anyone else. You’re a person all your own with a unique set of goals, obstacles, dreams, and needs. So stop comparing, and start living.”
what catfood commercials make feeding your cat look like: *person comes into the kitchen with a smile* *cat licks its lips* *cat snuggles up to their leg softly while purring*
what feeding your cat is actually like: *cat emits loud shrieking meow in anticipation* *you nearly have a deadly accident because your cat excitedly runs between your legs as you walk to the bowl*
Called The Trinity Church (DoNotLinked here because you’re welcome), Driscoll’s new endeavor is launching—ironically!—in Phoenix.
According to the page, the church will be about “gathering people to study the Bible, building friendships, and having fun while getting a lot done with Jesus.”
But what about all of Driscoll’s past trespasses against people in his former community? Welllllll he’s just hoping you don’t remember all the details there.
And though we’d hoped he would go into denim design full time, it seems he’s instead decided to go back to what he does best the most, which is Church Makin’. And who knows? Maybe he’ll succeed; Driscoll’s fall from grace is famous around these parts, but perhaps people in the dry southern states haven’t heard about his lies and his general rottenness.
Anyway, if you have friends in AZ, tell them not to go to this church. There are lots of churches out there.
OH HEY LOOK, IT’S THIS FUCKER.
Native Seattleite speaking here - please, by all means, keep everyone you know from getting involved in this misogynistic fuckwad’s dangerous brand of Christianity.
If you’re a boy who walked up to younger/nerdier girls in the hallway during high school and said “hey my friend thinks you’re cute” and then burst into giggles along with said friend then I really hope you’re doing badly in life
people like this are the reason i cant believe anyone calling me pretty.
the last comment just hurts so bad
“Sanders is not a socialist. He is a “democratic socialist.” That one word makes for a world of difference. Sanders favors private ownership and markets, but with rules that protect little people from abuses and uncertainties.
Survey after poll after focus group shows that substantial majorities of Republicans support much of the Sanders economic plan. Many of those Republicans currently support Donald Trump, with his vague promises to stick it to the rich, improve the lot of working class Americans and protect Social Security.
So what are those Americans who support Sanders’ policies but not Sanders missing? Why don’t they understand the huge differences between socialism and democratic socialism?
One issue is the disconnect between what politicians promise and what they could deliver. Sanders would need to win in a sweep election that gave Democrats strong majorities in Congress to get his policies enacted into law.
But there’s a deeper issue with how we engage with our elections. You don’t have to be a Sanders supporter to recognize that America’s political reporters are good at covering the horse race, but terrible at explaining policies of the candidates.
One reason for that flaw is that viewers, and the voters among them, often want personality rather than substance. While there are insightful articles about policy proposals, they don’t resonate. Think about a song so it plays in your mind. Now try to recall anything written by a music critic. Same problem with politics: We recall the rhyme; the reason, not so much.
Compounding this is the terrible job our education system does teaching young people about economic and political philosophies, to distinguish between the -isms. I’ve learned that you can have a more informed conversation about politics and economics with the average waiter or petty merchant in Europe or Canada than with the executive sitting next to you on a domestic flight.
So let’s go back to square one and explain what Sanders is and is not.”
