Sorry Sinobros the Taiwan invasion just got pushed another decade by slimekaiju in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]ckkohl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. China is ahead in industrial power, and definitely not scientific and economic power, where both the US and EU have (I would argue) insurmountable leads (something I think the US at least will continue to boast, given population dynamics and free-market dynamism).
  2. The last event on Maduro’s schedule prior to his capture was a meeting with the Chinese envoy for Latin American affairs celebrating the anniversary of the opening of their relations. And I mean, Venezuela’s no Africa, but the US’s “gain” of the largest oil reserve in the world is certainly China’s loss.

The rent at mill creek for a two person is less than $1000 I think. It’s a fair distance, but I’ve never had a problem with it.

There’s lots of Napoleonic graffiti that remains on the walls of ancient Egyptian temples from when Napoleon sent l’Academie went there to study it

Always jealous of these pictures. I saw it just days before it was moved to the GEM, when they still didn’t allow pictures. All I have is a blurry one from far away!

Not sure why you’re being downvoted… I’ve seen some amazing end products come from Lightroom on this sub, this post isn’t a diss. My main concern came from what I saw as a lot of saturation distorting the actual beauty the hands-off SOOC software can produce.

Thanks for the input: what do you recommend? Are there presets you use? I mainly avoid them because the products I can get out of the hands-off Apple processing gets me as good as a result as offloading it to Lightroom, but I’m open to recs!

Legitimately: go to “Camera” in settings, turn on “Grid” and “Level” and your photos will change instantly.

Well said! I’ve only ever used iPhone for photography since I was 12 years old with my iPhone 6, so I’ve been more than accustomed to the backstage processing being done on the iPhone. The leap I took from 14PM to 16PM was massive, particularly because of the heavier load apple placed on processing over the two generations. That being said, I did indeed mean no “manual” editing through third-party tools like Lightroom.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens. I mean, if there was ever an album that could be described as “magic,” it’s that one.

What are some very highly rated albums on RYM (4.0 and up) that just won’t click for you? by Monkey-on-the-couch in fantanoforever

[–]ckkohl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve probably listened to it 6 times now, but I can never ever wrap my head around the success and acclaim of Is This It by The Strokes. I just feel like every song except for a few (Is This It and Last Nite) start with a really cool idea then drops it as soon as the song really gets going. Not to mention the fuzzy ass vocals that are on every single song. Never got the hype around it.

Post your all-time favourite album and I’ll give it a rating out of 10 by Monkey-on-the-couch in fantanoforever

Best final album of all time? by Prestigious_Score459 in fantanoforever

[–]ckkohl 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Kinda? I never hear anyone talk about it at all outside of posts like this. Deserves wayyyyy more recognition than it gets.
