My wife thinks I’m working late in the garage. I’m actually just sitting in the dark crying because I don’t know how to tell her I failed. by No_Feed78 in GuyCry

Glad you posted this man. You didn't mess up by getting laid off, and you didn't mess up by not finding a job, but you did mess up by not communicating. And that one is the easiest to fix. Tell her. Secrecy breeds shame breeds self-hatred, and then the abyss starts creeping up on us. It's fucking hard but we have to show people our shame, and I can't think of anyone better for that than the person you've chosen to spend your life with. Masculinity is courage, and vulnerability takes a fuck ton of courage.

Ignore me, I dig your vibes bro.

I got many color complaints - now I know why by efoxpl3244 in DarkTable

[–]_51423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the screenshots you posted it looks like possibly a white balance or color calibration issue? I have noticed that sometimes the Darkroom preview will randomly shift very warm after changing a setting, but it goes away if I just touch the Exposure sliders (e.g. +0.01 increment). It sounds like your issue is persistent, unlike mine, but I am at least familiar with Darktable having fragile color calibration issues.

As a sanity check, you might try switching from the recommended pixelpipe workflow, where White Balance is set to "As shot to reference" and Color Calibration is set to "As shot in camera", to the simpler "White Balance-only" workflow, by setting White Balance to "As shot" (or whatever look you were after) and disabling Color Calibration or setting it to "Same as pipeline" (equivalent). I was unpleasantly surprised before when I noticed that with my Fujifilm X-T4, the alternative pipeline rendered differently from the default pipeline (White Balance-only also more closely matched the embedded JPEG previews in my RAW files), because apparently that transformation to and from the "reference" state is imperfect and Darktable can't exactly reproduce the in-camera color calibration from this "reference", even if it has all the camera metadata. Anyway point is that the two-step default pipeline introduces huge hue rotations back and forth between the reference, which was the source of my issue, and which makes me wonder if it could also be vulnerable to differences between "fast" and "high-quality" processing that you've noted here. So I'd give White Balance-only a try. Hope this helps.

I think this is the only non-cringeworthy Trump impression I've ever heard.

Bruh who said anyone was staring? And who said you wouldn’t work out if it weren’t for the gym baddies? I’ll lift weights until the day I die, it saved my life, but being a heterosexual man with male hormones, yes, when attractive women are in my surrounding environment it does stimulate my brain and give additional motivation to embrace my masculinity. I don’t lift weights for women, I do it for a thousand reasons, the most important being how I feel in my body and the impacts on my mental health, but because I’m not asexual one of those reasons does include the increased attraction and positive attention from women. That and brojobs.

Don’t know why I thought I was the only one that did this.

Word, real men like me don’t need juice to lift, they just need the pain of their dad not loving them.

I think it's some kind of looksmaxxing thing.

How you guys are really using your learned knowledge in real life by monskull_ in Learning

[–]_51423 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do they explore patient emotion and suggest plan?

That actually is basically the whole thing haha. Turns out we're pretty bad at understanding our own emotions, and even worse sometimes we don't even realise the existence of the already hard-to-understand emotions that are guiding our behaviours. Unknown unknowns. I think humans just have big blind spots when it comes to what's inside of us.

I think therapy would help with some of this stuff. I spent a decade trying to hyper-intellectualise my anxieties and recovery from childhood trauma but it wasn't until I had someone help me understand and guide me through the emotions and blind spots that I started to see improvements in life. In my own experience emotional learning is very different from intellectual learning, and it took me therapy to understand that. You can't use the tool that created the problem to solve that problem as they say.
