    I’ve spent most of my life in front of a screen and have perfect vision, a couple of people don’t make a statistic

      I grew up on a 40 acre horse ranch and had to walk about a quarter mile to even catch the school bus, yet couldn’t see a pile of horse shit until I accidentally stepped in it.

      So still, I ain’t buying that whole ‘spending more time indoors causes myopia’ thing, I was literally born with it.

          LMAO, you ever tried walking a quarter mile when your vision is so bad you can’t even see your own fucking dick clearly?

            Maybe you should put your dick away tho, I think there’s better ways to check your vision

              Yes, you’re right. I can’t see my own fingerprints (without my glasses), past about 1 foot (~30.5 centimeters) in front of my face.

              I didn’t even get glasses until I was 8 years old, which basically meant I was running around legally blind until the age of 8, when they finally stopped punishing me for not being able to see shit and actually took me to an optometrist.

            I just can’t see my own dick clearly because it’s incredibly, incredibly small. I’d DM you a pic but my electron microscope is in the shop rn.

              There’s a difference between seeing your dick versus seeing your pubic hairs clearly. Whether you take my word on it or not, my member is of a decent size, I just can’t see the hairs without my glasses or contact lenses.

        There are infants born with heart issues, does that mean that you should eat 10 hamburgers a day anyway?

          Did everyone miss my point? I didn’t grow up stuck inside so often, I spent a LOT of time outdoors. Hell, the first book I ever read was a survival manual.

          I even learned to drive a stick shift at age 7, before I even got glasses. So I still stand by the opinion that indoor vs outdoor environment makes fuckall nothing to do with nearsightedness.

          You’re either born with it or you aren’t. It’s all about the shape of the eye.

          I spent more time outdoors than indoors.

            I mean, I don’t know how much simpler I can make it. You can be born without a hand or lose it in an accident, same as you, you can be born with bad eyesight or develop it because of external factors, doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t mitigate the external factors.

              Again, did you miss my point? Apparently so, I grew up outdoors. I learned to drive a stick shift and learned how to shoot a gun before I even had glasses.

              That doesn’t mean it was appropriate the ways they taught me, but still I was an outdoors kid, I wasn’t stuck in a fucking room…

              But I was still literally born nearsighted.

                I feel like I’m talking to a chatbot with very limited instructions. I guess this is pointless. Goodbye.

                  Say what you want, I don’t give a flying fuck.

                  At least I’m not a stupid chatbot and actually have a real life.

                  Goodbye.
