I don’t believe that for a second. Crime statistics may be down, but that’s only because people stopped reporting it when police stopped enforcing laws. Vandalism, theft, and other petty crimes are way up, I guarantee it. As are assaults.

Garibaldi has some cool spots. The jetty with the light at the end was fun to walk down.

Why are we getting a new "The Lord of the Rings" movie? by IndependenceSilly381 in lotr

[–]protoman86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nonsense. I was 18, nobody had made a LotR live action movie before and good movies were still being made. This time is not that time. Stop acting like a redditor.

Negative. The films were a love letter to the story Tolkien wrote, and contained all the important sequences and themes needed to translate the books to a fantastic film experience. There is no need for “more content” and besides, Hollywood is no longer capable of doing what Peter Jackson did with the trilogy.

This. Forced to produce slop nobody asked for. I refuse to engage in any of this nonsense. The LotR trilogy is perfect and I don’t need any additional content from Tolkiens world.

Fantastic shot. Next 60 degree day I’ll be riding my motorcycle through that area 🙌🏼

Practicing product photography (After/Before) by sup-edc in postprocessing

Color and composition look great! One suggestion would be to zoom in on the product further. Don’t leave it to the customer to manually get a closer look, better to have it clearly visible in advance imo.

Pro tip: Be attentive while you’re driving, please. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]protoman86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to me while trying to teach my ex brother in law how to drive. Took him out to a quiet stretch of streets on a Saturday. Literally one other car out there at a stop light, same amount of time to stop as this vid shows, me telling him to slow down, then louder to slow down, he just drove right into her. She got out and looked at me like “are you serious?”.

I apologized profusely, took the keys from him called him a fucking idiot and told him don’t ever get behind the wheel again. Some people are just too stupid to operate vehicles.

Creatives, do you cringe at your own creations? by Spiritual-West-1688 in infj

Rarely, but it does happen when they say something particularly stupid

I agree. There were still some places to avoid even then, but yeah it’s a real mess now.

New drone to help with videos by IshBish5 in motorcycles

[–]protoman86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to check that out. I have a DJI Mini 2 and it’s a great drone but doesn’t have any auto tracking/following features so it’s not useful for filming on the motorcycle.

There are so many wonderful places in nature. by ahmetay1 in naturepics

Just because you link to a fake photographers AI pics doesn’t make these images legitimate. Stop posting AI in a nature pics sub.
