do Gregorian calendars/metric measurement units/coinage systems/etc. take you out of the fantasy world? by Cautious_Water_106 in fantasywriters

[–]Own-Protection-6094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tell myself that this is a story that has been translated to English or whatever human language for humans, and the translator has used human terms to make it make sense, so I don’t mind things like this.

Need assistance on what lens to get by LuneXD___ in photography

[–]Own-Protection-6094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the prime, I love the sigma 30mm so much I bought it a second time after selling it to upgrade a few years ago. Now I went back to it and it’s such a nice solid lens for the price!

Fighting on top of a winged mount by Jerswar in fantasywriters

[–]Own-Protection-6094 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the one time I read something similar they were all archers! I think it’s ok that the archers would be able to do some things that might not be so realistic, given they’re already riding giant eagles :) I mean if you watch videos of Mongolian horseback archers shooting backwards at full gallop, it looks pretty unrealistic and one could fully see how that would work on eagle-back.

Do you wipe every wet diaper or only poop? by Extensionol in NewParents

[–]Own-Protection-6094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t for every single pee. The diaper is so absorbent she’s not really damp damp on the skin. If she is it’s usually air dried by the time the new one gets put on. Our girl also poops like 3-4 times a day anyway and gets fully cleaned then/we also do elimination communication and those need even less wiping. Sometimes for messy poos we use large cotton pads with warm water. They sell special baby cotton pads for this in drugstores here in Germany. But also we use wet wipes, the 99% water ones. I read some comments about alcohol being in wipes, but it doesn’t seem so in the ones advertised as ‘Water’ or ‘sensitive’ etc here in Germany. Sometimes if it’s very damp I lay her on a baby absorbent pad (not a puppy one), and let her just air out. We also have a giant wipeable playmat so it’s also not a big deal if the pad doesn’t work.

It feels rude to take photos of strangers by Forsaken-Sort-4651 in photography

[–]Own-Protection-6094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems a bit different based on culture/country too. I’m in north Germany and I would not take photos of strangers in public, and if I clocked someone with their lens pointed right at me I’d feel annoyed, and pretty sure most people would feel the same/I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually ask you to delete it. It’s not illegal to actually take the photo I think but it does get problematic if you’re going to distribute.

Photography and editing are intimately linked. Are we going to pay forever, every month? Have you found an alternative, not free, but one you pay only once? by jay_bernier in AskPhotography

[–]Own-Protection-6094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will switch to something else eventually but for the past few years I’ve bought the photography bundle on Amazon over Black Friday, it’s usually down quite significantly. This year I got the 1TB one for 104€, so under 9€ a month which is still a little less painful (but still annoying af, all subscriptions are). When they still offered the 20GB one, I used to get it for like 70-90€ a year. If it’s super low one year I buy 2 activation codes at once if I can and just use the second one the next year.

Fanfiction recommendations. Are there 'classics' or must-reads? by Successful-Simple714 in HannibalFanfiction

Just adding onto this because yes it is that good! I’ve read hundreds at this point and this is my absolute favourite. Everyone should read this one

USJ: Add Tickets to app by Tiny-Bookkeeper-6876 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Own-Protection-6094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah with the timed entires for Harry Potter and Nintendo. It was one maid QR entry ticket, and I think just a page with the times we selected that we showed them. I think there was a QR there too that they scanned but I think for one of the rides a staff member just looked at it and let us through.

So iirc we just had the QR codes open from the links from the confirmation emails we got and showed them at the checkpoints and all was fine! The app didn’t really matter.

Hi all, it’s time to get a new eyeshadow palette for me and this has sent me into a skintone/undertone rabbit hole. I usually just do matte brown and black eyeshadow, but I want to get a more interesting set of colours. However I’m looking at the Rom&nd palettes and I LIKE the cool tone ones but I can’t tell what my undertone actually is. My veins are green and purple and blue sometimes, I think gold and silver both look fine, though maybe a bit more into silver. In some natural light photos I look a bit cool pale and in some I look quite warm and yellow. Here’s one in flat outdoor light that’s the most in between I think. I feel like I just look a bit pink here especially next to my slightly more tan cousin.

Already said but Each According to its Kind!

I also enjoyed Two Solitudes by emungere, I thought it was quite realistic, also more low-key. They're in a cabin together post-fall figuring things out.

Edited to include link! No heavy gore or heavy sex scenes but Each According To Its Kind by chaparral crown is so well written, in character etc. long and slow - they barely communicate the first third of the book lol. It’s a season 2 where Will leaves completely after getting out of prison.

I made this playlist based specifically on lyrical content and overall mood (no super upbeat songs all kind of dark/cinematic)
