@bimmy-lee Eyes heal amazingly fast, but boy is it an ugly ride. It's just too uncomfortable will it heals. I had an ocular trauma once, and it was hell on earth, but it healed 100%.

Even at work I hate working with eye surgeons. I prefer having all the accidents or gunshots or fractures.... But eye surgery... No thanks.

Guess it's in the nature of our more delicate tissue to want to heal as fast as possible. You know, those wet parts that could get easily infected.

The tongue and the inside of the mouth also heals rather fast.

@PACO_PEREZ I’ve changed my pic in solidarity with Cyclops and all the eye talk.

@bimmy-lee Sick burn. Next you’ll want waaaaaluigi in Smash

Oh and it's the opposite eye, they can complement each other.

I want the cheese

@StableInvadeel The reason why the tongue and the insides of your mouth also heal fast has to at the very least partially have to do with an entirely different reason compared to eyes, though. The enzymes in saliva are excellent bacteria killers and are also good in breaking down any other unwanted material.

And the remains of any bacterial battle will ultimately end up in your stomach where the acids take care of the last bit. The eyes on the other hand only have moisture coming from the tear ducts, and of course the fluid contained within the eye itself. But because of its almost gelatinous nature, wounds heal far quicker than with normal body areas consisting of skin.

Just think of Lasik, the procedure where they laser your eyes to allow you to once again see without glasses: in that procedure, they make a small incision and then peel back the front to get to the lens, and once it's done, the flap is put back without any stitches or anything, so it reattaches itself entirely on its own.

@HobbitGamer great Pic... Yes they should do the fusion thing of dragon ball and have 2 eyes.

@PACO_PEREZ - Yeah, pugs are great. Mine was a rescue, and I swear she was the most appreciative dog I ever adopted. Hilarious too. She was a bit funky on both ends, and took more hygienic maintenance than any other dog I’ve had, but we had a good, long run together.

@HobbitGamer - Ha! He’ll probably have missing animations anyway. Stupid, lazy Nintendo.

@ThanosReXXX - I just realized that I had no idea what is involved in Lasik surgery until I read your post. I suddenly have a much better appreciation of what our friend Tyranexx recently went through. What a process.

There's no such thing in this thread.

@bimmy-lee you know what they say.. an eye for an eye. Go show that tree who's boss, and have a bon fire.

@NintendoByNature - Oh, it’s happening my friend. The branch fell when I was chopping it down. It was only about a 15’ juvenile elm tree and long since dead. I’m going to burn it this fall and then spit on its ashes.

@bimmy-lee make sure all it's friends see as a warning.

And if they get any ideas or sway at you sideways, salt the earth.

Install a fire pit so they never forget

In Walter Sobchak’s voice: Here you go trees, you see what happens? See what happens trees? SEE what happens?!? THIS is what happens when you poke a stranger in the eye! This is what happens trees! See what happens trees?!? This. This is what happens trees when you poke a stranger in the eye.

My new PS Vita charger just shipped

Attempting to recusitate the little boy so I can play through all the mainline Persona games in preparation for Royal's western launch in early 2020

This'll also be the first time I play P3P since I got the game along with my PSP 3000 as a birthday gift in 2010
Memories (of You) are about to flood in

I had to order a replacement some time ago too.

It's just a simple cable, but it works perfectly if I connect it to a pc and turn the Vita off.

Curiously it doesn't charge with regular wall adapters.

One of the most perfect examples of my point when I complain about sports being put on a ridiculously high pedestal: BBC news' puts up a so-called top story about how a World Cup rugby game is going to have to be rescheduled because a massive typhoon is going to hit Japan. Who cares that a potentially life threatening major storm is gonna slam into the country, we gotta complain that our precious sports have to be rescheduled!

Any respect I had left for the BBC just died. The fact that Japan is going to get hit wasn't even in the title. It's why I even clicked it, I thought "Why would an England-France game be affected by the typhoon, is the UK getting hit by a hurricane?" - I didn't even realize the world cup was in Japan this year.

@Heavyarms55 Yeah that’s bad. Japan getting hit with the typhoon should have been the headline. I would bet that a lot of the rugby fanbase, who the article is addressing, doesn’t care about a far away country’s natural disaster. Still it’s a not a good look for a big media outlet like BBC to write an article in this way.

@NotTelevision It's not surprising though. As much as I get bitter about sports being worshiped(and I could write a thesis on my issues with that side point), the attitude is not limited to sports fans. I remember when Japan was ravaged by that horrible earthquake and tsunami back in 2011. I was still in the US and still spent too much time on social media and a lot of people were more upset about missing their weekly anime than the catastrophe that has just occurred. But there should be more maturity from a news article written by so-called professionals than teenagers complaining on Facebook.

Sad truth is, a lot of people really only care when something directly affects them and don't mind complaining about their own minor inconvenience even when that same issue is a literal disaster for someone else.

With any luck the typhoon will lose enough power before landfall that it'll just be heavy rain and some wind. Forecast for my area seems to be that, about 70-125mm of rain and 40-65km/h winds. Tokyo's forecast looks worse and I guess that's where the game was going to be.
