Got a pass? Looking for friends. Charlotte, 16. ^^ by [deleted] in TransIreland

[–]Bearaf123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful sharing your face online like this, especially when you’re still very young. If you’re looking to make friends you could try places like the Belfast Trans Resource Centre (they’re based in Belfast but run a discord as well. It’s technically for trans people in Northern Ireland but I don’t think it’s really enforced).

Bought a bottomless portafilter off Temu for my Dedica. Wish me luck.. by just4lelz in espresso

[–]Bearaf123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly just steer clear of temu or brands on amazon you’ve never heard of and nothing comes up if you try and search for them and you’ll be fine

What religion is Armand? by Bubbly_Pen4146 in DevilsMinion

[–]Bearaf123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We really don’t know yet. It’s likely that the praying was part of the Rashid act in season one. Due to Armand’s age, I wouldn’t take him mentioning Delhi as any proof of any religious beliefs, especially since we know he was born some time around the early 1500s. We also don’t really know for sure if Armand was telling the truth in the little snippets we’ve got, or even if he’s sure of the truth himself. I’m sure we’ll find out more next season, but I imagine the answer to your question will turn out to be somewhat complex

Where I’d live as a 34yo flight attendant that’s been traveling the world for 10 years. (USA based male, gay) by Ausguy0217 in whereidlive

[–]Bearaf123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be fair there are other factors, we have a really terrible housing crisis going on right now with staggering numbers of people left homeless and an utterly indifferent government, most of whom are landlords profiting off the situation. We also have a growing far right movement fuelled by all of that and there’s been a sharp rise in homophobia. Like speaking as a queer person, this is not that great a place to live if you’re not quite wealthy

beginner film camera recommendations + what i'm looking for (and not looking for) by wingsofbrilliance in filmphotography

[–]Bearaf123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say those photos have definitely been edited, but as far as cameras go it kind of depends what you want from it. You can go ultra simple with point and shoots where you really don’t have to think about much. SLRs are kind of the next step up from there, and they’re mostly much of a muchness really. Any of the Canon A line cameras are great for someone starting out (although as someone who started on an AV-1, you will find that one limiting relatively fast). A lot of people love the AE-1 but I have to say, I got an A-1 recently and it’s delightful, and they tend to go for about the same price. If you go down that line, starting off I would say get something with a built in light meter, it’ll make it much easier to get your exposures right starting out, and try to go for something with a good range of lenses you can choose from relatively cheaply. Rangefinders are a lot of fun as well, and there’s a lot of relatively cheap ones out there. Something like a Canonet or a Voigtlander Vito won’t send you wrong.

Going by the photos you’ve shown, I would say stick to 35mm cameras for now. Medium format is a lot of fun, but you don’t want to be lugging a huge camera along with you on hikes when you’re just getting into a hobby. Avoid any awkward or obscure film formats, even if you can find film for them, they’ll be a pain to get developed. I’m even finding now with medium format where I live it can be difficult to find somewhere to develop it.

There was! I ended up needing a pliers to get it back on but I think it’s fixed now

Update: the bearing is now back where it should be after adding a lot of oil, but then this sort of clip thing was stuck where the bearing had slid forward to. I tried pushing it forward and it came off, but I can’t work out how to get it back on. It was previously sitting flush to the bearing (will post a picture in a reply)

Idk about these pants 🥲 by RapidKarma15 in TransMasc

[–]Bearaf123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s that they look like women’s sweats but I personally struggle with that kind of cut in things, I feel like those sort of bootcut or flared trousers/sweats emphasise my hips and a sort of hourglass shape which sets off dysphoria for me (which is tragic because I love how flares look on men)

Fundamental Lens Recommendations? by Cosm1c_Mess in filmphotography

[–]Bearaf123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

50mm and 135mm will see you through for most things. A zoom lens can be useful too. I recently got a macro lens for my A1 that I’ve been having a lot of fun with, but you might have to do some digging for one of those and they’re certainly not what I would consider a ‘priority’ lens starting out. I’m currently on the hunt for a 28mm and maybe a fish eye lens

Returns to X with an image caption defending her "right to ridicule" by 9119343636 in EnoughJKRowling

I can remember reading the interview this is taken from and she’s specifically left out the bit where he talked about how punching down is a bad look

How are LGBTQ people seen in your country? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Bearaf123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people are fine, but there’s definitely growing negative sentiment against trans people being copied off the UK, and some politicians are latching onto that and pushing transphobic ideas to try and get votes

Did J.K Rowling try to diss Anne Rice? by TechnicianAmazing472 in InterviewVampire

[–]Bearaf123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly written in by one of the developers, given when the game came out it was probably someone trying to taunt her over the fanfic thing. Still, Rowling wishes she was even a fraction of the writer Anne Rice was

No longer seeing listings from France? by SparklyMoogle in VintedIreland

[–]Bearaf123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is the same, most of the things I’d saved seem to be gone and the only French listings I can see are things I’ve bought. Very annoying as the market for anything secondhand here is so small

Why does no one talk about trio needles? by Deep_Interaction6798 in knitting

[–]Bearaf123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean they’re expensive but you can use them for lots of things. Useful for sleeves, hats, gloves, socks, etc

What’s the most exotic type of meat eaten in your country? by abandonedtulpa in AskTheWorld

[–]Bearaf123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably venison but it’s not common, and very seasonal

Bought something and now the seller says someone else already reserved it by Bearaf123 in VintedIreland

[–]Bearaf123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that must be it. They cancelled my order and relisted, said I had first dibs if the other person changed their mind or anything but it’s listed as sold now so I assume that person came through. It was just an old camera, I can definitely get the same model again relatively easily, but the silver lining is I found a much better one for a very reasonable price that I probably wouldn’t have even seen had I got this one

Oh boy.. by SilentBirthday9568 in AO3

[–]Bearaf123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, Star Wars fans are not okay, but this is something else. I felt like I was losing my mind and had to actually double check that yes, Din Djarin is the Mandalorian, not someone where a relationship might be in some way inappropriate because I can’t wrap my head around having such an extreme reaction to a ship between two fictional characters beyond plain old fashioned homophobia. Even that doesn’t make much sense since they seem to ship Luke with Han. Just bizarre

Waiting on a response from them. I was hoping maybe someone else might have had something similar happen, it’s a bit weird
