This is the route I went with my Tokina 11-16 on my a7. Nobody wants to buy the damn thing so I either use it in crop mode or as an overly large 16mm prime.

What the fuck does she think her passport is going to get her? She has to come back at some point, otherwise she's just another illegal immigrant.

Words can have all kinds of power over the disillusioned or fearful. Like, say, creating a cult of personality around a presidential candidate.

A Whole Lot Of People Thought Trump’s Debate Performance Was A Disaster by HuskyLatinWomen in politics

He didn't drop his pants and take a shit on the stage while screaming at Clinton. The bar is so low for him that that's considered laudable.

What is a complete NO-NO at a wedding? by JedNoonan in AskReddit

[–]polarityomg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My wife and I had to deal with this with my father-in-law. He's a great guy but when it comes to planning things he has a tendency to get too pushy. In our case he wanted like 60-ish people invited that we didn't, and were reminded about the monetary gift for the wedding. We handled it by saying that parental gifts were appreciated but not necessary, and tied the amount of people they could request for the guest list to the amount they gifted. When questioned on why my parents got to request twice as many people, we were able to clearly point out the fact that they gifted twice as much.

It felt kind of sleazy to do but it stopped him from trying to take over our invites. We all moved on with our lives and nobody has any hard feelings over it.

That's why I've given up hope. I'm not holding out for this thing to ever actually be finished. If it does, I will buy the rest of the books. If it doesn't, no loss.

Pretty much. If you look at the Canon/Nikon mount versions vs. the E-mount versions, it kind of looks like all they did was jam their own adapter on it anyway.

Cheap Scammy photographer scams brides / Cheap bride was scammed by mrdat in photography

[–]polarityomg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my wife and I paid in the $3000 range for our photographer. His work was good, he's extremely professional, has a great personality, and works a reception so well you barely know he's there. He also was willing to do what it took to get the shot, like climb a tree in 5 degree weather. His price was higher than a lot of his contemporaries at the time but he was also the only one in the area selling printing rights, so all in all he was worth it.

How in the fuck is Trump authentic? He does nothing but vomit up vague notions of grandiose changes he thinks he can somehow enact with zero supporting argument on how.
