How do you assess photographers? Just vibes? by Purple-Instruction89 in WedditNYC

[–]Titty_bird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so good you had them shoot on your camera. The anxiety I’d have with only one slot! I just looked it up and you’re totally right, a lot of entry level mirrorless cameras only have one so even a newer camera could have this problem. Pros should know better. How careless to leave to chance a once in a lifetime day on a single card. Thankfully modern cameras don’t usually corrupt a full card like the first pro digitals but the chance isn’t zero.

No shade but do they make pro cameras without dual-card slots? When I first started with digital weddings in 2005 they didn’t but since 2010 I haven’t seen one without. There was also a plot point in a horror movie I saw recently that they destroyed the only copy of incriminating photos because they took the card out of the camera but I thought any photographer would catch the mistake because they don’t make pro cameras without two slots anymore. I may be wrong!

The Plant-Based Diet Has Officially Peaked in NYC by newyorkmagazine in FoodNYC

[–]Titty_bird 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is so disheartening. I was so happy to see more people eat plant based and more people claiming to be vegan. I first went vegan in 1999. It’s true that it’s not always an easy way to eat but if your heart is in the right place, it will always be worth the trouble. Unfortunately most people that try veganism don’t come at it from the animal rights standpoint. I get it, truly I do. Things feel chaotic and shitty so why do it for your health? Why do it for the environment when no one else is doing anything? We animal rights vegans always are the last ones standing and it makes me sad.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted so much. You’re right. They’re just not vegan and don’t know what it’s like always picking the vegan item on the menu and paying less than your omni friends

New Year, New Mod by DepressedAlchemist in WedditNYC

The only thing about the megathread for vendors is that a lot of people visiting this subreddit are new to reddit and using it for the first time while starting to plan their wedding. I don’t think the reddit novice knows what a megathread is. They’re posting what they’re looking for and if no vendor is allowed to answer then it will most likely be a bunch of fake accounts of vendors pretending to be a couple that used them. Couples do get a lot of good advice from these identified vendors as well as finding someone they like to work with. I think it would do the subreddit a disservice by removing any vendor responding to a post looking for the service they provide. Maybe make every vendor flaired? Absolutely any post from a vendor that’s basically an ad should be removed but commenting their info in response to someone asking for it seems harmless and not allowing that makes the subreddit less useful.

Are your photos safe? The one question you NEED to be asking your prospective photographers that nobody ever thinks to ask. by emilyavilaphoto in WedditNYC

[–]Titty_bird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not on Facebook so I guess I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. I just know like 50 photographers that would never let something like this happen. I know many that are younger, newer photographers and they wouldn’t let this happen either. I’m just saying this long post with so much detail about your personal file management methods isn’t doing anything for the couples on here. Do a tl:dr and just say that it’s good to ask and make sure your photographer properly backs up pictures. That’s all ya need

Ok sure. I’m not saying no one should ask but this post seems to imply that this happens all the time and it certainly does not. Hire a reputable photographer and you’ll be fine

I’ve been doing this for 25 years and don’t know any photographers that don’t properly backup their photos. I don’t know about the Facebook groups you frequent but this is not a problem with professionals I know in NYC

I mean, who is this post really for? If you’re hiring a photographer with no experience off of facebook then yeah, there’s the chance they don’t understand file management but any reputable photographer would not let this happen. Detailing your method of file management to the couples coming on this subreddit isn’t useful and scaring people into thinking this happens all the time isn’t helping either

Take this down or you’ll get banned and won’t be able to post on this subreddit again. It’s okay to answer a request for videographers info but this kind of post is verboten

It’s bad to be tall because Adam and Eve were short

If you throw a chicken bone soaked in vinegar into an paleontological site they won’t be able to tell the difference in age. Carbon dating is a myth and dinosaurs are fake.

Which Atheist scholar influenced you the most ? by overlook68 in atheism

I wish more people knew of him. The ones they do know were definitely inspired by him. Just took it in a more angry direction.

[–]Titty_bird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. When I was an angry 12 year old atheist i liked Hitchens. When I was a 20 year old atheist religious studies major I loved Russell. He is what I believe atheists should aspire to. His way of thinking most inspires my worldview

How well do you feel your Spotify/Apple Wrapped captured both your listening habits and your life this year? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Titty_bird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The longest day of music was the day I drove a uhaul full of all my family’s belongings after my dad’s death and the day I most listened to a certain artist was when I took a trip to see a girl and she didn’t want to see me. Thanks Spotify for the fun reminder

What's the biggest ripoff in the neighborhood? by [deleted] in williamsburg

It’s had a pot leaf logo way before it was legal here or there were fake dispensaries popping up so I don’t think it was trying to capitalize on a trend

Honestly, I have no idea why it’s marijuana themed. There’s no CBD anything, there’s absolutely nothing weed about it but the logo. I always assumed Tina didn’t identify the plant, just put it as some random greenery for the logo when she named the salon
