Went back to the optometrist yesterday as the glasses I got about a year and a bit ago weren’t helping my vision in my crappy right eye at all anymore. I only wore them a handful of times anyway because they have me a headache and double vision if I looked up. Anyway it turns out that my suspicions were correct the whole time and it’s not my vision going because I’m getting older, it’s a motherfucking cataract! I also went to an ophthalmologist last year to make sure because I was convinced that there was something wrong with my eye and he told me exactly the same thing the optometrist did. Useless bunch of tards. Now I’ve gotta have keyhole surgery and a new lens installed in my eye. THEY’RE GOING TO CUT A FUCKING HOLE IN MY EYE.

@Satanstoenail hey I actually had to have that surgery when I was 12. I was born with cataracts. That shit is awful man. Best the luck to ya. One of your eyes will shine like a jewel in the lights.

My dad had that surgery too. The upside for him was that he somehow came out of it with perfect vision after being horribly nearsighted his whole life, and he no longer needs glasses.

I've been struggling to get reimbursed for an out-of-network health insurance claim I submitted almost 3 months ago. Probably put 6-8 hours of work into this shit so far - multiple phone calls to the insurer, and re-printing/mailing the claim. Part of the problem is the insurance co being assholes and coming up with any excuse in the book to deny the claim, part of it is the stupid doctor's office giving me receipts with inconsistent formatting and listing payments for multiple visits on certain receipts because their card reader doesn't work sometimes and they wait until the following visit to charge me.
Fuck health insurance.
Fuck health insurance.

Shit that'd hard to deal with as a kid. Is your sight ok now?
Yeah my old man has had the same thing, probably why it's happening to me, although his happened when he was over 60. I guess I'm just lucky/special

A good friend recently came over and we were playing a space themed board game. I dropped it on a playlist I had made for with spacey stuff from all sorts of genres (mostly stoner/space rock). The 4th album in was Mare Cogntium and maybe 20 minutes in he was all "Are we going to listen to black metal all day?" which would be fair if I was actually inundating him with it, but Jesus, it was one album and the rather accessible Mare Cognitum at that. Meanwhile, I routinely will listen to his post/sludge/metalcore leaning stuff which he knows I'm too fond of, but I play anything even remotely resembling BM or Folk and it's the end of the world. Probably should just agree to play Stoner/Space rock stuff which seems to be the only thing we can agree on.
Anyone else got metal friends you butt heads with on genres?

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
This is my ultimate fear. I’m wishing you a safe and speedy surgery! This is really scary!

That sounds insufferable.
The few metalhead friends I have IRL have always had a healthy respect for the classics so bands like Slayer, Megadeth, Celtic Frost, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Death etc could be played all day with no complaints.
I have a friend who listens to nothing but Pantera, Clutch, and stoner metal.
And a friend who listens to nothing but metalcore.
I try not to have metalhead friends irl because usually most of them like shit metal.

I doubt anyone who listens to only metalcore would qualify as a metalhead in the first place. I don't mean that in a "no true scotsman" way, just that metalcore is, generally speaking, metal for people who don't like metal.

Yeah every metalcore person I ever knew always kind of sneered at metal, they'd enjoy a few bands here or there but I always got the feeling it was effort on their part to endure it.

Eh, it's not all metalcore. Stuff like Neurosis, Isis, Young Widows, Converge, Dillinger, etc. Most all of it lean towards that shouting or punk vocal style.

Gotta drive to our other plant every day next week to assist in year end inventory, since most of the folks there haven't been in our new ERP system yet and are hardly computer literate. Gotta use a stupid ass laptop. I have a desktop at my main facility, fucking hate laptops.
