Only 4 nuggets, and holy hell if that ain’t a joke for a drink size! BTW, that’s supposed to be sweet tea, but it’s bitter as hell…

    In 1990, I got my first two pairs of prescription glasses for $40. Today, they quote me over $300 for my prescription, for a single pair of glasses.

    Does that add up in your fancy inflation calculator?

        You know prescriptions are only valid for a year right? Shit ain’t cheap yo.

        Edit: Gotta get a new exam and all, they can’t even legally send me new glasses with my old prescription.

          I do know this, but you don’t have to buy glasses from the eye doctor. Just get your prescription and go online. Or do a pro gamer move and get a free lasik consultation and they will give you your prescription and then don’t set up an appointment or cancel if they want you to make one. lol

            I just found my last prescription from 2021. It’s written in Greek, like literally.
