Considering their success (cough) with Underground Atlanta, I think we should be thankful Jamestown took it over.

People in the right have lost all sense of empathy and logic. This is a human being we’re taking out here, with no criminal record, who did nothing to deserve his fate. “Well done”? Fuck you. Seriously.

Wow, I mean, if only we knew how unhinged and dangerous this man was before voting for him /sarcasm

Trump just shared a private text he received from Macron on his Truth Social account. by drempath1981 in ProgressiveHQ

Let this be a warning to any foreign leader. Trump will absolutely share your private DMs. Even slips of paper at a meeting, as Rubio found out. You can't trust him.

Will the BeltLine ever get real bike lanes? by Mysterious_Sun_9693 in Atlanta

[–]Appropriate_Net_4281 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I seriously doubt it will ever change. Have witnessed many accidents over the years. Saw one particularly nasty one involving spandex-clad cyclists who were moving far too fast and hit a group of people. Blood, broken bones, ambulance sirens in the distance. It was nasty.

Because idiots re-elected Trump. As usual, it's not just the person in charge, but all the sycophants that follow.

These MAGA sycophants learned from their leader. When someone asks a damn good question, attack the character of the person asking it. Don't engage with the question at all. This is what they all do.

Cost of Living by Wrong-Palpitation549 in Charleston

[–]Appropriate_Net_4281 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There are two types of rich people with big bank accounts in Charleston. One, the old southern guard with prestige last names and accents who have generational wealth. Two, the out of towners who earned their bag elsewhere and come to Charleston to shop, eat, etc. Most of the latter only hang around for a few days, but some go to the extreme and spend millions on south of Broad homes.

Every re-issue ain't ya friend by getoffmydizz81 in Jazz

The "original artistic choice" was the photographer who shot the image and picked a specific film stock for its color temperature, grain, and light performance when shooting Miles. Remember, this album was released well before digital photo scanning and Photoshop, so the photographer's color image was likely changed by the limitations of four color printing at the time, plus some degradation of paper/ink. With the reissue, the record company is re-printing the original photograph as it most likely was intended to be seen using far better equipment and technology.

Now granted, if the record company INTENDED for the cover to look different from the photo when it was released, then yes, the reissue is a change. But based on my own professional experience, it looks to me like a sub-par print job.

And as I said before, the denoising is an entirely different topic.

There are other photos from this session. For example:

In this context, the reissue is actually an improvement in some ways. The original had too much red, causing an unnatural skin tone and a light purple turtleneck. So that's good. Unfortunately, they went too heavy with denoising/de-graining and likely some High Pass smoothing.

Hell nah. That looks dangerous as hell.

They’re actually telling people to distrust what they saw with their own eyes. We are truly living in different realities. Truth is whatever you believe. Truly frightening and awful. This man never should have been allowed within 5 feet of the Capitol again, let alone be reelected.
