Could just be an elevated risk factor too. Won't know until the full tests. I have suffered a decrease in vision since my last visit 3 years ago, but I went from 20/15 to 20/20 vision. And given I'm in my mid/late 30's not unusual.

Your vision changing from 20/15 to 20/20 is an entirely different measure from the health of your cornea. Make sure your blood pressure is controlled, and otherwise follow the advice of your ophthalmologist.

MoMA the backer barometer is doing a good job of laying out the "Missing the forest for the Trees" type argument true believers have been using. It's actually a really enlightening example on why so many people are so invested in the project.

It isn't even about the project. The fake demos aren't being considered. Chris Robert's past isn't being considered. The time isn't being considered, any one of a hundred red flags do not exist when you encapsulate and segregate each argument down into it's simplest form.

So MoMA (and most backers) true belief rests on "2.6 THIS YEAR" and "2.6 THIS FRIDAY" and "MULTI CREW SHIP SIX MONTHS" and "STAR MARINE EXISTS" type arguments completely divorced from the bigger picture. Each specific point can be argued until the end of the universe if you are a big enough shitlord so you are never wrong. Even if you are 100% obviously wrong and it cracks your delusion and you start to doubt, it's still a completely meaningless tree in a forest of idiot rear end in a top hat decisions. So what if 2.6 doesn't come out this year if you've compartmentalized it into a .00005% portion while pretending 99.99995% of the situation doesn't even exist.

Sure MoMA is surrounded by piles of lumber from 273 different destroyed arguments, but hey look, another tree right there! People are hitting it with axes? Hey another tree! This one is full of termites? Hey another Tree! This forest will last forever!

part of the joy of this thread for me now, is that i think derek is of a similar nature but he has "turned to the dark side". it's just words on words on words from both sides, massive, colossal nitpicky arguments

That's bullshit though. Like someone said before, you can return a physical item someone else bought for you. Same applies here. It does not matter who paid for it, the value is in your account. If they refuse that's just to either discourage people or because their system can't handle it.

Unless you were doing some sort of money laundering with your account, or some other kind of fraud, go for refunding the full amount.

When Variable closed his account they returned some items to me. I had to call them out on it though. I'm curious as to what they would do if the excess money was supposed to go to an account that had already been closed.

ripptide posted:

It appears so, up to the total spent on the account.

Their supposed argument is "money laundering" but in reality it's because they want to keep as much money as possible. I checked the total value of my account before I requested a refund and the total value of the packages is less than the total value I spent, so that shouldn't be a problem. I made sure to keep track of every expense before I requested a refund so if they do something like lock or close my account before settling the funds I'll be able to call them out and provide a proper complaint. I'm getting the impression that they really don't want to do that though. Ray has been very polite and professional in his exchanges with me, which I appreciate.
