Worked for Apple Inc. Can confirm there are bits that are a bit cult-like.

The summer after 9/11 I had to change planes twice before they just straight up cancelled the flight.....because the cockpit door wouldn't lock.

I understand why we couldn't fly like that, but really USAir? You couldn't fix the damn lock...on TWO planes.

Hell, I got a traffic ticket last year, and 2 days later I had my mailbox stuffed with flyers from lawyers.

How well can your vision be corrected? With ocular albinism w/ glasses to correct nearsidedness I can get to 20/40 in one eye and 20/50 in the other.

People always say "oh that's not so bad, I'm worse than that"....except they don't realize that while theirs can be fully fixed, that's as good as I will ever be.

I recognize that's remarkably good for someone with albinism but still frustrating that it's not fixable and is enough to cause difficulties for me.

I'm also terrified of what it will be like as I get older. My dad has already had to have surgery to remove stretched out muscles from around his eyes due to nystagmus.

I've got ocular albinism (basically I have the vision difficulties of someone with full albinism but not any of the other features....and it definitely came with its fair amount of teasing as a kid.)

Movies with particularly strong 3D effects work (like the Muppet 3D show at Disney) but many do not for me and I just get sick to my stomach or get a headache. The home 3D TV fad never caught on with me because it didn't work. I remember a 3D episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun as a kid. You could get free glasses for it at Blockbuster. Didn't work. And forget those Magic Eye paintings. I've tried and tried and am convinced everyone else is making it up.

Never tried a VR headset. I just assume it's going to make me regret it.
