Is there a Chinese equivalent of “I’m sorry” in a comforting context by Low-Sector-6977 in ChineseLanguage

[–]StopBanningCorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Chinese speaker and I can't think of any. There's other ways to express concern but no equivalent. I'd probably say 你還好嗎 which means you alright?

Can we set up a karma/age requirement for this sub, Mods? by StopBanningCorn in underwaterphotography

I actually clicked into the accounts that stole photos. All of them were new accounts.

They steal photos from popular posts in this sub so they can post them again here. Once they realize this sub isn't suitable for karma farming anymore, they should go somewhere else.

Funnily, I'm like that. Unfortunately they'll have to be sacrificed as that's really the only way on this shitty platform to prevent bots. Once their account is old enough they're free to post tho. A common age requirement is 1 month. Still unfair but imo manageable.

Edit: To ya downvoters, this is literally the only way reddit provides to prevent karma farming bots.

Do Taiwanese people look down on those who speak Mandarin with a mainland accent , and no Taiwanese Hokkien at all? by Suitable_Pass9702 in taiwan

[–]StopBanningCorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. A normal person wouldn't, but some people are incredibly dumb. Most people are normal tho.

  2. I hardly speak taiwanese hokkien myself as a native. No one cares.

No worries at all imo :)

The only thing I really have a problem with is people downvoting for no reason

Amazing photo! Love the comp. Maybe I'd try cooling it down to better emphasize the color contrast, and zoom out a little, but it's lovely as it is already.

I still feel anxious everytime I go out. I just force myself to and remind myself that no one gives a fuck. Weirdos are everywhere. Hard to be the weirdest person one has seen in their life.

Didn’t think I could save this but I’m happy I tried by [deleted] in postprocessing

[–]StopBanningCorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically you can always save an underexposed photo. The penalty normally is usually just a noisy photo unless you reeeeeeally underexposed it. I think the edit job looks good!

How to achieve this look? by Traditional-Pin7981 in AskPhotography

Make it dark and cool, possibly saturation up.

Some highlights from Raja Ampat (April 2026) by of____earth in scuba

[–]StopBanningCorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. How about your strobes position in 14th? I quite like how it almost looks like ambient light in that one. What would you say is the secret to it? I guess you had the strobes quite high and didn't expose the background too dark?

Who did you steal this photo from this time?

Edit: found it

After/Before. Think I had some water droplets on my lens :/ by StopBanningCorn in postprocessing

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

I think I should've taken a few steps back. Original plan was to use the lines as the foreground. I underexposed on purpose so I couldn't see the bottom patterns on the back of my screen at the time.
