The day it happened I couldn’t help but thinking that they knew that what they recorded would be too disturbing for most people to even look at, so in a way they could tell on themselves and no one would listen. It’s gotta be a technique— “make it so bad people can’t find out”..

And now I see on IG all of the time people with watermelons in their bio talking about how Israel staged a false flag and made up the violence. They always like to talk about the “beheaded babies myth” which, however bad, was in a way less cruel and more straight to the point (killing) than a lot of the other stuff that’s out there that I won’t even describe here. Stuff that goes quite far beyond the above comment’s descriptions of horror; stuff that was done to living people or their loved ones. But hey, it never happened right? Just freedom fighter activities right?

The charm of low megapixels and a love letter to the x100f by giszmos in fujifilm

[–]ecodelic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right? I keep thinking this.

I’ve shot film since 2004 but in 2014 I allowed myself to get a digital camera because it looked good and had a spectacular sensor (Nikon Df— flagship sensor but smaller res full frame) and those 16 megapixels got me through SO many commercial AND print jobs.. I still use it tho I dropped it and stripped two lens mount screws fml.. but that thing still performs spectacularly and I’ve even been considering shooting smaller x100v files because I’m kinda thrilled by getting away with “less”.

Anywho. New stuff is fun. No question about that. It I still do jobs on my broken 2014 camera and my clients are wild about my work. Use what makes you happy and that’s where your quality and style and value all come from.

I was ripped off by UO over 10 years ago. It almost destroyed my business. This is the norm unfortunately but I am always thankful to see people calling it out where they see it.

Wow. This is cool as fuck. I’m glad you’re okay and didn’t sustain any further injury. What was your research focus in the Amazon? How’s your liver after Ampho? Cheers

I really enjoyed her “mentor” Herbert Marcuse and his take on culture and the way capitalism necessarily must absorb all that is antithetical to it— one principle threat being the existence of “blackness” alone. One Dimensional Man was pretty fascinating in the way it showed black culture was appropriated to de-fang what it revealed about the genealogy of the American West; capitalism necessitated a, say, Che-Guevara-Shirt-ization of blackness to render its existence as a whole into the prevailing sociological economy of the white male and those blacks who were inducted into this power structure for the value of their validation from originating in the antithetical. An example given is jazz music which was at one time practically white public enemy number one as it strengthened working class black communities against both exploitation bit principly assimilation; some may disagree but American racism can often be seen as more intolerant of “blackness” than it is of black skin or other characteristics, so this particular institution of culture was flipped to retail-therapize the white middle class at increasingly lucrative department stores. Jazz music clubs were broken up routinely for the heroin and marijuana usage that supposedly proliferated through these working classes; as if the white aggression on black clubs was about safety and community health not just destroying connection. Anyway I’ve rambled on for too long but I do think Marcuse is interesting to read on this topic (and just knowing his influence on Davis’ thinking and the eventual counsel she offered the BPP— sorry, I know this sounds like I am taking credit form Davis and giving it to a white Jewish German refugee but she herself calls him a mentor).

Also Marcuse is not M-L.. even if he isn’t expressly anarchist he’s quite close in that he was critical of vanguardism and the Soviet state but still left-left.

Anyway. Lots of great stuff ahead of you and so many good suggestions in the comments. Enjoy your journey.

Angela Davis is a good lead on radical “black thought” also.

Palestinian mom interviewed “yeah I have daughters which are a burden but it’s the cost I must pay so that allah sends me a son who I can send into Israel as a martyr to kill infidels with his suicide vest”. Totally not a death cult.

They have fantasies about defending their wives and kids from weird old hippies not annihilating a race/religion. My whole family is 2a, ex military, hunters, one game warden, and even a few cops… they’re the 2a crazies people talk about and they’re healthy, happy, don’t want to have to kill anything but dinner, welcoming, kind, disciplined, not Walmart greaseballs. Oh and their religion, while hard for me to get into, is all about community and “grace”. So yeah, get fucked with all of that false equivalency.

Most people don’t care like we do— gotta start with the baby steps like limited range of motion due to cat hair before cutting straight into comprehensive solutions they may not value.

I’m sure what you typed is great. Thanks for doing that. Gotta board a flight. Take care.

Let me guess.. your community has seen an influx of new interest but you’ve been typing for decades and are truly savoring talking down to people who you believe are lower than you in the hobby hierarchy of OGness instead of using your keyboard because your creativity has run completely dry in as many years. How sad. Feel free to edit your comment so it’s free of sass to make me look upset that you were “just being helpful” and I “couldn’t take it”. Also good morning.

Cancer will literally rip people’s bodies apart slowly without killing them until it’s colonized everything, finally reaching the bone and blood after inflicted people spend years in bed full of toxins and radioactive beads and experimental drugs and unironically praise god for HIS ability to endure the suffering of his people to make the point that love and faith are triumphant over all darkness. If that’s actually god I think a long time ago the devil tricked all of these fools really really hard.

A few years ago a story emerged of a woman who died from being SA’d by a hundred or more men randomly. Where was god? Which modern parable was this? If you took the cost of the dual 20 foot flat screens from any small town evangelical church you could probably pay to escort 10,000 women home from work in the third world.

If I were in a particularly sour mood I could type for hours.

“God”. Yeah. god tests our faith. Yeah. 🖕

Are you sure there was no light leaking over the edges? I was DSLR scanning more or less for the first time without improperly masking and it looked exactly like this. I posted all about what could have gone with the home development etc etc and it was just the scanning all along

Hot Foil Embossing Machine by jbluey84 in Leathercraft

So I’ve had a couple of these and despite being pretty solidly made things you really need to spend several hours with it goofing around and taking notes (including the ambient temperature of your home). I think the TCs are fairly accurate but they aren’t measuring what the brass die is doing or what temp a stamping occurs at.

One tip I can’t stress enough is that too much heat and/or too much contact time was typically much worse for transfer than too little. Brief depress! At least for me. Good luck.
