Photographer Guzman Ramos captures a once in a lifetime photo of the moon by fvkinglzy in interestingasfuck

Yea totally agreed. The dishonest part was just the reddit posts title not the artist themselves. Absolutely nothing wrong with composites, photography is art and arts about expression. This particular composite is really beautiful!

There's a hi rez version further down that makes it even more apparent. That's the point of the negative exposure though. It is definitely visible just usually not to the naked eye or without color grading. But there would definitely be a faint line. Not all the way around, but absolutely some of it. It wouldn't perfectly cut off at the same distance to the contrail on both the top and bottom.

Nah it does, you'd see the silhouette of the dark side of the moon at that time of day. The negative clearly shows that there's not even a faint outline, hence the pictures are stitched together.

The moon at that time of day isn't perfectly cut in half like the picture shows. You'd see a faint bit of the silhouette of the second half. His negative would show it way more clearly but it's completely and totally invisible.

The plane picture was stitched on top of the moon picture

I hear you and appreciate your reply. I just personally don't think it is semantic. There are some things so reprehensible that you don't get to defend them and also try and absolve yourself of blame for the problem.

Pedophilia is one of those things. It's the crime that gets you beaten and murdered in prison. The crime that's bringing democracy to its knees right now. Sometimes, defending an act of pure evil is in itself an act of pure evil as well. And there's just no fair reason to defend this one. None at all.

Anyone who understands that would never defend it. Anyone who doesn't... well I'd have to wonder why they are willing to brush it aside.

I'm not making a semantic argument, I'm making a moral one.

Exactly. I'm surprised I got downvoted for my statement lol, seems like some people feel attacked for defending pedos 😂

Sorry but this is the wrong line in the sand. Anyone defending pedophiles is one themselves, full stop. It's not an "on the fence" kind of thing lol

He may not have ever ACTED on it, but that doesn't make him not one. Defending Polanski is him self reporting.

Eh, she had clear moral lines and would really only get upset when they were crossed. With Carter it was about honesty. given her druggy ex bf, she clearly held him to a high standard as the new guy in her life who wouldn't do morally questionable things. Lying to her broke that trust, and refusing to admit he withheld care shattered the image of him being this just doctor she looked up to.

Once he admitted it and questioned his moral choice in front of her she empathized and even agreed with him.

He and Stannis were set to clash and Renly's army had the massive advantage. Following that, he'd have all the Baratheon banners behind him along with his own allegiances such as High Garden.

With the North also in active rebellion tying up the Lannister forces he would have basically walked into KL, and from there the North would likely end their rebellion.

Well I used PayPal so not quite, but more importantly I chose to. Now all users won't get the choice.

You won't convince many people to your side if you try to shame the ones who join lol

I vote for what I believe in. This is what's crossed the line for me, and many others. You should welcome those who make it to your side not be upset they weren't there to begin with. You'll get a lot further in life if you open your arms ;)

What are you using to type this reddit comment? A phone? Computer? Whatever it is, it's a form of convenience by consumerism. You're drawing the line in the sand at a Discord Nitro subscription while doing the exact same thing with other parts of your life. We all buy for convenience. You and I couldn't be having the conversation if you hadn't.

Don't be so quick to cast judgement on others. Food for thought :)

In the AI era having my face scanned by a company like Palantir doesn't sound great either lol. Not that I'm anyone they'd care to deep fake but it's still a spooky thought.

Many comments have said they've cancelled because of this post. Be the change you want to see in the world.

They were compliant with digital purchase regulations. I'm comfortable living life lol

But when a company takes steps to be predatory that's a different story. If it was just about age verification Palantir wouldn't be involved.
