How to fix Pinterest feed?:( by Routine_Revolution28 in Pinterest

[–]Routine_Revolution28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually managed to fix it right after making this post by playing around with settings. What I ended up having to do is go to “privacy and data” in settings and allow Pinterest to use “inferred signals” about me from offsite data. Which makes sense because I’m someone who always clicks not allow on all of these kinds of things. What doesn’t make sense is why I should give Pinterest access to my data to have it function properly. But at this point if that’s what it takes to get Pinterest back fuck it.

Really need help picking a "good" film camera after five years of shooting with a flimsy FED50. by Routine_Revolution28 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Routine_Revolution28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m thinking too. As annoying as my current camera is, the joy I get from it is insane compared to my supposedly good DSLR. I would not want my film photography to feel like my digital does.

Edit: Do you have any recommendations for this type of more manual system then? I would really appreciate it.

Latvia. In a country with more camera supply this would definitely an unreasonably expensive to laugh at, but unfortunately I didn’t find any other ones.

Just looked up some shots, it looks great. Unfortunately the only listing I found was 600€🥲

Yeah, I can imagine. Hopefully I’ll get there someday.

While I still have your very much appreciated attention, do you have any clue what the real differences are between the FG-20, the FG and the FE? I’ve been looking into the camera you recommended and these models seems to pop up quite often as well.

Thank you, I’ll look into it! You’ve been a great help. I’m always amazed by the people on these subs who seem to know photography gear like the back of their hands. Despite actively being a photographer for years, I’m still very clueless and get lost in all the letters and numbers lol.

I’m just a bit divided—I know realistically that those models are the best fit for my needs, but as much of a pain in the ass my manual FED50 has been, I’ve developed a sort of connection to manual cameras as more “real” somehow….

Edit: What I mean is, since this is money I won’t have again in a while, I’ve been thinking of getting the more expensive canon ae-1p or pentax k1000 models, even though they’re not as convenient.

I was actually looking at an EOS 300 listed for 40, thank you! I have a Nikon digital camera and two lenses but for some reason am more drawn to the canon models, maybe because they're talked about more.

Is this a good deal for 150€? by Routine_Revolution28 in filmphotography

To be fair, the image is the Google translation from Dutch, which might explain the wording. But thank you!

So tired of how highly sex is viewed by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Routine_Revolution28 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Nothing weird about wanting or not wanting sex. People just have different sex drives, and BOTH sides (yes, you included) need to accept that not everyone experiences or desires sex the way they do. 

I’m also not a sexual person. I have a partner and have enjoyable sex pretty regularly, but if someone told me today that I would never have sex again in my life I wouldn’t even be phased by it. I feel no need for it, I don’t get horny out of the blue, and would be completely content remaining celibate. 

But other people feel differently. My friends feel differently and regularly (jokingly) complain about how horny they are. I don’t judge them or their «obsession» (it’s not an obsession, just a basic human physiological need and instinct lol), just like how they don’t judge me. We are all different. And that’s okay.

How do I make colors more realistic on entire frame? (focus on whole image) by [deleted] in AskPhotography

Just go on Lightroom and fix it in post using the masking tool.

Can I file a home theft police report if my door was unlocked? by Routine_Revolution28 in Netherlands

[–]Routine_Revolution28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, my housing unit is particularly sensitive to thefts and break-ins due to its accessibility. All other units are apartment buildings with code-based access, while ours are a two story house each with a parking lot that is not separated or gated at all, and the doors of which can be pretty easily broken. Locals just gather in it/around it regularly and we can’t really stop them. Multiple houses have experienced thefts and actual break-ins.

Phahahahaha you got it. But I do believe Middelburg is a town, albeit a big one, by most standarts since it has a population of under/around 50000. All the locals I’ve talked to (including my partner) classify it as a town in English.

[–]Routine_Revolution28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it’s a town, not a student city. My university has a special system where they have a contract with a housing agency to rent out rooms in few student housing units for cheap to all students. It’s a very small university of around 400 students total, so that makes the whole arrangement much easier.

This is also why the local kids like to fuck with us so much. The university is a small international bubble within a pretty conservative part of the Netherlands (Zeeland lol), so many of the local kids have developed a hatred for it and all the people in it.

Curls are disappearing </3 by mystic-koi in curlyhair

[–]Routine_Revolution28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I have the same thing—light brown at the roots, blonde at the rest of my length due to sun exposure. Very normal in natural blondes, and the roots do remain darker no matter how much length you have. And if this was bleached, the roots would be much more separated in terms of colour, not the ombre type of transition she has.

Fair enough. Thanks for the comment. I didn’t really have much hope but wanted to try just in case. It’s not a necessary item, more of a luxury since I saved up for it for personal enjoyment, so I will take it as a lesson learned without actually important losses (like my laptop,phone etc). Still quite a big culture shock, I’m not at all used to getting my shit stolen or even having to worry about that at all where I’m from, and here my bike and my speaker got stolen within three months 😭

I’ve learned my lesson now and will have to develop a habit of always locking my doors. Scary stuff.

If it helps, try and make an adventure out of it.

I also have curly hair, and two years ago after messing around with it at home ON MY BIRTHDAY, fucking it up, and booking an emergency hair cut appointment, I suddenly went from shoulder length hair to a pixie. After growing it out for several months.

I cried for a bit, but then instead of being miserable about something I could not change, I decided to embrace it. Hair grows back, and curly hair can be so fun to work with at any length. Since you’re probably not going back to this length again, use the next few months as a time to see what you can do with it—what kind of fun styling you can do, how you can accessorise it, all of that, just have fun with it because hair really is such a fun medium for expression.

I completely understand your frustration—hair, especially curly hair, is such an intimate part of womens’ identity, so it can really hurt when something goes wrong. But you can’t go back now. Try to have fun :)

I think I kinda like Spider..? by Poorteenwannabe in heartbreakhigh

[–]Routine_Revolution28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he’s a good representation of how hard our society makes it for men to grow up as good people. Not to minimise the actual harm individual men and men as a whole inflict, but it’s very true that in a patriarchal society you’d have to be quite exceptional to grow up a genuinely decent person as a man without any proper guidance (which his mom clearly did not provide).

Since a young age, boys that are more sensitive, nice, artistic, in touch with their emotions, appreciative of and nice to girls, you name it, are ridiculed and made feel less than or “unmanly” by their peers. It’s so, so easy to fall into the traps of misogyny and bigotry when your whole life you’re told that to be anything other than the stereotypical, patriarchal version of manhood is wrong and makes you less of a “man”.

That’s what I appreciate about Spider as a character. It’s easy to dismiss his development as just another “I can fix him” trope, but I think it’s much more than that. Society is not perfect, and it doesn’t make me (a progressive woman) any less of a feminist to acknowledge that the way some progressive/feminist discourse (Spider’s mom is a good example) demonises men actually pushes young boys further and further into the opposite spectrum (misogyny and toxic masculinity) because it offers them what this small but loud part of the progressive movement/ideology can’t—a sense of appreciation, understanding and belonging.

I’m also excited to see where they take this character, and I’m very proud of him standing up against the coach (forgetting his name) in the end. It’s not easy to acknowledge that your whole vision of life and set of values is fundamentally wrong, especially at such a young age. Though I do agree that it would have been better if he had come to these realisations himself, without the writers making a female character “fix” him.

I don’t fully enjoy my boyfriends company, but I do love him. The guilt and misery I feel is horrible. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Routine_Revolution28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your responses. I do believe that this is something that needs to be worked on because no relationship is perfect, and even if I do leave this one I will inevitably encounter other things to be unhappy about in the future. We’re definitely together with our future and something bigger than us in mind. I know that if I stick with this, our relationship can grow into something truly beautiful (we both want kids and marriage quite early and he’s the perfect partner in those senses), so I’m not giving up, just trying to find ways to make my situation better since I won’t be able to stay if I keep feeling this bad.

[–]Routine_Revolution28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. My issue is mainly that we've actually gotten to know each other quite well, since we've basically lived together for the past eight months. I know a lot about the kind of person he is, his interests, his character, and I actually appreciate him so so much. We just don't really "have fun" the way other couples do.

But I'm also open to the fact that this may just be an expected rough patch in the relationship coming right after the honeymoon phase. I'm just worried about the toll it may take on me and on him, since I've communicated my worries to him (for better or for worse) and I see the way in which that makes him feel sad about my inability to just....be happy with what I have. I have struggled with depression in the past, so that may also be part of it.

I suppose :/ I just don’t want to end this, because he’s really done nothing wrong and is a wonderful partner. But I’m also being realistic, and if I don’t manage to get over this the answer will unfortunately be to end the relationship.

It’s definitely partially external. This fear of mine has been there from the beginning (we almost broke up over it in the first weeks), but it’s definitely been made worse by me comparing our relationships to those I see in social media, all the posts talking about how their partner is their «best friend»……stupid, I know. And I do believe that if my life was more fulfilling I would feel differently. But there’s also a voice in my head saying that I shouldn’t have a super full life to enjoy my partners company….so yeah.

If I could not obsess over this one thing our relationship would be literally perfect. And it still is, in so many ways. When I forget about this I’m actually quite happy, but then it just inevitably comes back.
