More Pacific Rim kaiju! These ones are all specifically from the prequel comic, but still. Also, the fact there’s a kaiju with a large, square head and large eyebrow ridge named Karloff makes me happy. :D

This decision was the best and worst one I’ve made while playing Animal Crossing.
HOW TO BUY LOW-COST GLASSES
If you are like me, you are low income. It doesn’t matter why, but you are and sometimes you need things to prevent your quality of life from dipping too much. Like a decent pair of eyeglasses.
Zenni Optical was brought to my attention by one of the residents at the clinic I interned at. The staff is remarkably skilled and it was my privilege to be able to work with them for 300 hours. Anyway, they serve many low-income folks and, instead of them sending them to their optician to look at frames, they recommended taking the up to date prescription and plugging it in at Zenni to get a good pair.
What you need
- Your eyeglasses prescription. Get it however:
Dig it up from your paperwork
Call the last place that did your exam and pick it up
Pay for a new eye exam, decline fitting, and take the paper
- Your pupillary distance
This is likely on your script somewhere. Look for “PD” and the number behind it. Otherwise, try this.
Here’s what you do:
Make an account at Zenni.
Plug in your prescription. I won’t go into the details of why and how scripts are written the way they are and how cool it is. Just plug in the values exactly as you see them. OD (ocular dexter) is the right eye and OS (ocular sinister) is the left. Sphere, cylinder, and axis for each.
It should look like this:
Now shop for some glasses and order.
Cheapest pair is about $7. Shipping is a flat $4.95 no matter how many pairs you order. Sales are often so, sometimes, shipping is free.
You can also order prescription sunglasses! Just make to order a regular pair in whatever frame, import the prescription you plugged in, and choose Add Standard Lens Tint.
I recently order my sunglasses because my eyes are going to boil out of their sockets. Took about a week. Came with a lens wipe cloth, PD ruler, and a case. Lenses are accurate and the frame doesn’t feel cheap or unbalanced.
SUPER.
saving this for later
Lots of people I know order from zenni and they get wickedly cute glasses for cheap. It’s awesome.
(glasses for cosplaying I can actually see with?!)
Why Abed is Important?
I’m having so many emotion about this question. And especially, the answer.
Abed is Important because he is neuroatypical, and he is happy and sad and victorious and bitter and full of range. Abed is neuroatypical, and he is a Muslim, and both of…

Version 6: I’ve added a little tip at the bottom of the guide and added locations.
psa
if you tell a depressed person that they have no reason to be depressed because of what they have and that other people would kill to be in their position
it generally makes them feel guilty and worse about themselves
because it reinforces the notion that…
woah, slow down there brain. you just sped right the fuck through confidence and annoyance in a matter of minutes, and now we’ve hit a fucking ditch in “you are useless and a burden to all those around you”-ville.
Apparently because I’m supposed to have good taste in movies or something. I don’t necessarily believe that because I can find good in almost every movie I see, but yeah, here’s a masterpost of movies you should watch because they’re all pretty good, if not great.
