i haven’t heard anything about them in years! curious to know if anyone knows what they are up to and if there are still members left.

tourniquet is one of my favorites

i’m sure this has been said a lot already, but it’s starting to annoy me now more than ever. i am late to the gilmore girls party and i’m currently in the middle of season 5. i love this show and now it’s on hulu of all streaming services. now when i want to watch the show there’s just a million ads. i miss watching it on netflix, completely uninterrupted. i’m ready to invest in the dvd box set at this point.

let me preface this by saying that i understand not everyone in this world is evil and i am not shaming anyone in here that may own a pair of these glasses, even if i don’t particularly agree with them.

i’m feeling incredibly uncomfortable by these glasses and it’s become a new pattern for me to look for people who may be wearing them in the public spaces i’m in. i have seen videos of people discussing extreme situations, like doctors wearing them when meeting with patients. this makes me both uncomfortable and angry, because this shouldn’t even be allowed in a medical setting.

while i’m sure it’s easy for some people to just say “well we always had phones and anyone can record you in public.” i don’t feel that this is the same thing at all. when someone has a phone out and is recording someone, it’s usually a lot easier to tell. meta glasses can look like any other pair of glasses that someone is wearing, so you won’t always be able to tell when someone is recording you!

the way i see it, these glasses are going to be a creepy persons dream. it’s giving them the capability to be a creep in public and go completely unnoticed. as a woman, i feel my guard is up and i feel less safe.

is anyone else feeling upset by this / has it become anyone else’s compulsion to look for people wearing glasses that may be meta glasses?

I don’t eat much meat, just chicken. I have an a1c of 5.8 and really need to get it down in 3 months. Please recommend me some food for picky eaters that include chicken!

I feel silly asking this, but I grew up loving this character. They stopped putting him on the cereal boxes, he was no longer seen in commercials, and you will never find him on any current merchandise! This change apparently happened in 2020, with Apple Jacks first removing his dreads. They now have a more generic cartoon logo and both characters look different.

When you look up the change, it is said that Cinna-Mon was an offensive character that plays on racial stereotypes. However, I don’t see many Jamaican people speaking on this anywhere. It’s mainly White people. I would love to hear what Jamaican people thought of this character. Did you find him offensive? Or Did you like this character and felt sad to see him go?

i am stuck between the two currently and would love to hear everyone’s experiences with these two!
