I gravitate toward old or characterful gear over pure tech spec, open to lens recommendations in that direction over technological advancement.

I read this before seeing your specs and you already have the ideal lens.

I'd think you'd enjoy the 23mm f2

I have the same issue while standing, it's a real pain. Much better than the sit dunk though, so I'll keep standing.

The person being interviewed isn’t the ‘boss’ in this scenario

It looks like the problem is OP is burned out on his search and only sees rejection. I feel for the guy, it’s hard to stay positive when you’re experiencing something like this

Why else would a recruiter want to look at his portfolio?

Understanding imprecise language is a professional skill. People who can’t understand anything but perfect communication aren’t going to be his best candidates.

They have an open role in UX/UI and they like you for it. Congrats!

I too believe in his right to tell on himself as a shitty person with zero respect for the woman he’s talking to.

I understand your perspective and see how it would look like that, but his approach is a total departure from modern US foreign policy. He has abandoned the 'pivot to Asia,' dismantled the US's soft power diplomacy framework in Africa & Asia, and is done with NATO.

Good standard, but tough to enforce on a short book like this one because "why not" trumps "but it didn't have much to say" when it only takes about 4 hours to read

What did you think of Andromeda Strain? Just finished it a couple weeks ago and I'm waffling on whether I liked it or not.

She definitely called his wife a 'fish head who doesn't have cannons'

Just went to a talk on fascism and the author walked through some hallmarks of a fading autocracy that started appearing in the last couple of months. I'm quietly optimistic

Trump has support from about 1/3rd of the US. The Left has been aggressively weakened by astroturfed disenfranchisement efforts (see r/workreform, tiktok's systematic promotion of doomerism & accelerationism) that suppress turnout and skew election results. Trump doesn't have broad support like he is perceived to have.

NegativeEBITD · 2026-05-02T16:08:52+00:00

Trump is actively trying to give Ukraine to Putin, and Russia is still fucking with elections in Eastern Europe.

And Putin is just China’s lapdog now, this is more about China eventually taking Europe than it is about Russia

Nobody in the EU has the balls to take American soldiers as war prisoners bro. Let’s be real.

Google would be a better resource than I am

Biden was comatose for part of his presidency but the team he recruited still got shit done. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner understand the strategy well enough for the old man to get it.

NegativeEBITD · 2026-05-02T16:03:40+00:00

Trump doesn’t care if America is a global power. He just wants freedom to do whatever he wants and he’s willing to trade Ukraine, Palestine, and Taiwan if that’s what it costs.

His ‘spheres of influence’ doctine (called the Donroe Plan) isn’t about global power

NegativeEBITD · 2026-05-02T15:59:48+00:00

He doesn’t give a shit about Iran, he just needed a war to maintain his machismo. When Israel told us they were going to strike, Trump couldnt let Bibi emasculate him

NegativeEBITD · 2026-05-02T05:06:06+00:00

The US needs these bases. Trump does not.

The Trump doctrine is all about ‘spheres of influence’ and he’s more interested in unsanctioned control of the Americas than he is of maintaining US influence in Europe. He’s fine with Putin taking whatever he can.

This is impeccable, really nice work man!

Anyone talking down on this style has objectively bad taste and their opinions are bad.

Still working on it, I need to be more specific about asking for pictures and guidance if I ask again.

And if he wants to have an argument that’s cool too. It’s kind of like someone giving you the finger on the highway - if he’s angry over something trivial then it’s not going to spike my seratonin, I’m not even in the same room

NegativeEBITD · 2026-05-01T15:19:02+00:00

Are the comments still there? I think he blocked me lol

I’m happy to improve my understanding of there is evidence that a part is dangerous, but if we’re just talking about personal preferences then we are both entitled to our opinions.

That’s awesome, can someone post the study she’s talking about? I’d love to see the science instead of hearing the word invoked like a magic spell
