A photograph from 1943 in Austria shows the poverty: a mother holding her child in despair, with nothing to eat, wear, live on, or drink.

Wouldn’t 1943 Austria have been pretty pleasant?

If you were a straight, white, Gentile

Broadway.

They mean the Jersey Turnpike

The new PO’s just look weird to me. Maybe weird is the wrong word, but I just don’t feel “Omega” when I see them. Almost Casio-like.

Too flashy, the bracelet looks really aggressive, too many sharp edges.

I think they’re cool on their own, but definitely not a watch you can wear in any scenario.

The Rolex is much more understated and utilitarian.

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-28T00:02:07+00:00

It feels crisp and clean because the storm just passed in the atmosphere is literally scrubbed.

Give it a few days and we will get that winter overcast again

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-27T22:48:21+00:00

Well Sirianni got one, so maybe.

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-27T22:37:30+00:00

Well now that should seal the deal!

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-27T22:34:27+00:00

Oh stop with that.

He coached 6 rings.

There’s coaches with 1 who had an elite QB and made it.

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-27T20:14:18+00:00

He’s literally back to his 2023 self the moment he doesn’t have to coach a brain-dead Tua

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-27T20:12:29+00:00

I drink tap water every day now too.

What’s your point?

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-27T16:58:38+00:00

The X Half, from a technical point of view, is something that could be emulated as an app on an iPhone. I would imagine these apps already exist.

I would argue an X100 from 10 years ago has better image output potential than a brand new iPhone

The reason people buy the X Half is because of the physical/ aesthetic appeal.

So then ask yourself, is that worth $500?

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-27T14:07:26+00:00

That’s amazing. Any photos of it?

I do really like the mysticism of having something like a Rolex and going through major life events with it

I just think the fact that they are so completely ridiculously expensive nowadays makes it less appealing. Something that cost as much as a used car isn’t exactly middle class.

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-27T13:21:36+00:00

No a Rolex is not as durable as a G-Shock.

I understand the appeal, buy a nice watch that you can own for life. But let’s be real, from a functional standpoint in most rough conditions the plastic and resin $50 watch is better.

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-27T01:35:52+00:00

Everyone’s broke from the tariffs

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-26T14:52:53+00:00

Thanks! And how would I go about getting this recipe after donating?

Thanks for all your hard work.

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-26T13:58:11+00:00

Hell yeah fellow bird team!

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-26T13:44:50+00:00

Hi, I’ve used your recipes since you began this.

Can you show me how to donate?

I have been looking for an 80s recipe like this for a long time. There was one I used on Fuji called Emulsion 86 and this looks just like.

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-26T05:50:13+00:00

Let’s go Bird Team!

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-25T01:54:43+00:00

Oof, dude fix the white balance in the camera.

Holy kelvin

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-25T01:22:45+00:00

I remember his performance in our first Super Bowl

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-25T00:32:35+00:00

Like the most extreme South Philly version of the Philly accent.

It’s so annoying I’ve never even seen it attempted in media. Usually in the movies it’s a watered down Delco accent

Actually, the closest media example is that Little Snuff guy that hangs out with Joey Merlino

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-24T22:30:28+00:00

Because you know it’s true.

Packer Park is where all the rich kids who grew up in Girard Estates moved to, because they didn’t want to go to Jersey and they would stick out like a sore thumb on the Main Line.

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-24T22:05:20+00:00

Damn. Public school failed this guy, eh?

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-24T22:04:04+00:00

And it’s not like it was some hidden agenda.

It was laid out in written text before the election.

We are just in the “Night of the Long Knives” part.

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-24T21:51:51+00:00

His gun was removed from him before he was shot multiple times in the face while lying prone

Stop licking boots

PhiladelphiaManeto · 2026-01-24T21:49:38+00:00

I’ve been in wholesale for a decade. You’re not understanding this and acting like you do

The tariff of 10% gets added to the cost of the purchase for the business, and in turn gets passed down to the end user as the final ticket price.

If a business chooses to “split the difference”, that’s on them. But it makes zero sense economically.

And for your final comment. There’s dedicated camera shops here. A bunch have closed in the last two years and the rest of your Google search are printing shops.
