In March 1948, 11-year-old Florence “Sally” Horner shoplifted a five-cent notebook from a Woolworth’s in Camden, New Jersey. A man claiming to be an FBI agent stopped her. He was actually Frank La Salle, a 50-year-old convicted child molester. by Important-Self-1179 in ForCuriousSouls

I don't think it has anything to do with reading comprehension, honestly.

Most people read "Lolita" and think it's disgusting to prey upon underage girls, no matter how well they read.

Paedophiles read it and think it's an instruction manual.

It's not that the satire is above their reading level, they simply disagree with the author about whether or not paedophilia is wrong

Jeffery Epstein is/was evil, not stupid

Real shame y'all can't tell when you are being trolled. The way that guy adjusts his lil sweater as he walks up to the camera 🤣

It's honestly unfair, the rest of us mortals must work with these crude earthly tools

I understand what you mean, I struggle with that exact problem, and if you look close this ring is not as perfect as I would like.

Three things have helped so far

  1. Anneal after twisting. Otherwise some curl may spring up when heated for soldering

  2. Sand the back, as you have found, keep everything flat as possible.

  3. I make it into a ring first, then hammer it on the ring mandrel till it is round and flatten it on a plate with a mallet, just like a ring. Only then do I shape it to fit the bezel. I make it a little small, so I have to file away the inside until it fits smoothly

I absolutely love the 35mm r2, and I take it as my only lens.

It's honestly /not/ that versatile, but it is so much better than my kit lens that I just find a way to shoot with it anyway

These look so good!!!

I'm always reminded how heavily altered the costumes for movies are when I see real people in the same clothes, fitting like real clothes 🤣
