They should be equally acceptable without needing to be sexualized. But even if you like seeing tits, the best way to see other's is to not be weird, dehumanizing, or non-consenting about it. That's like the 1 rule of etiquette anyway, try within reason to not make other people uncomfortable.

I only have transition lens on my prescription safety glasses because construction sites are hazardous to glasses and eyes at all times. I don't always have clean hands for switching. And switching itself leaves your eyes vulnerable to shit while switching. It's also the only time I don't want polarized lens because they often make screens difficult to read.

For everyday, I carry a polarized set and a regular set and get swapped between the same case. They are basically the same frames too so they both fit because my head is to large for most frames that aren't sunglasses frames anyway. If I'm planning on being mostly outside, I may only bring the polarized lens because they don't actually block that much light inside even though they block about %50 of the light outside. Tinted lens that aren't polarized usually just cause additional eye strain for me anyway. Also only polycarbonate lens for outside also because even if they have no tinting they are blocking UV light.

Clip on lens are prone to trouble. They will either scratch your prescription lens or just get gunked up themselves since you're doubling the surface area that needs to be kept clean.

In general I spend WAY more thought and money on things for or touching my eyes, feet, hands, and private sweaty bits. Try out things and see what works for you. For example, I was surprised how great wool socks are for hot sweaty climates.

I disagree on ever single point you've said here.

Sounds like a skill issue. Good translation is hard and is rarely a literal one to one mapping of syntax and diction. It's an interpretive art.

Sounds like a skill issue. Bad translations are bad because they don't find good ways to translate these kinds of things. As you say, translation isn't just about the words, it's about cultural context. But, bad translations aren't inevitable just because good translations are difficult.

I got my first Gmail address through an invite during the beta release in late 2004.

I don't ask people about their politics. I just act like true things are true, e.g.: human instigated climate change, COVID, the efficiency of a single payer healthcare system, a oblate spheroid earth, and the moon landing. I'm politely understanding of the flaws in their world view, but I NEVER pretend that any of it is even up for debate. You can balance not being rude with not backing down from the objective reality you live in by showing an genuine fascination with their weird cult beliefs.

Conspiracy theories, religion, myths, and magic are all very comfortable fantasies that wither in the face of the existential dread from understanding that the universe is horrific and absolutely indifferent to your personal suffering. Being excellent to each other and maintaining faith in the potential of humanity (tempered by knowledge of our depravity) is our only hope of survival both physical, philosophical, political, and spiritual.

Ok, sorry that turned into a rant. This shit matters though, so not that sorry.

"Sensors" sounds like a magical solution that hasn't been thought through, but the marketing guys already sold it and won't listen to the engineers explaining how difficult it is to actually build such a thing.
