Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I'm sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

Valid point, let's work with it

Nitpick: "large sum of money" - at least here laser treatment is pretty cheap (less than 1k for both eyes)

1: My eyesight is too bad for laser treatment, by the time my eyesight would be corrected there would be nothing left of my cornea and likely retina as well.

1.5: I still have options available to me that, as you point out, just involve throwing more money at the problem

2: me having that option is beside the point. The point is that even just a minor nuisance like glasses is enough to seriously fuck with someone's (perceived) quality of life, never mind something that actually severely impacts your daily life.

I'm not sure where you are, but that's exceptionally cheap. I got it done in Vietnam for about $2k for both eyes. Here in Australia it would be more like $4k per eye.

I suppose the health insurance covers a lot of it, but given the quotes my mother and I (well mine was more a "would cost this much but no can do with your eyes kiddo") got respectively plus what the health insurance likely paid/pays the "normal" price would still be ~1.5k-2k for both eyes.
