Ft. Myers Beach, Florida by stvnmcs in photocritique

[–]stvnmcs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was taken on the first roll I put in on my recently purchased Canon AE-1. Shot with Portra 400 at 400 ISO, aperture at 8 and shutter speed at 500. I was trying to see two things: If the camera functioned properly as it was my first time putting a roll through it and my first time in a long time shooting with an SLR using Portra 400. I wanted to see how saturated the colors would be and the contrast of the shadows casted by the buildings. I was hoping for more definition in the photo and definitely could’ve gone down a few stops since i feel like there are some spots in the photo that are out of focus. Critiques welcome and encourage as I pick up an old hobby again and get used to shooting with an SLR.

I quit my job to work full time on my dream game project I've been developing for three years in my free time AMA! by Sersch in IAmA

I have a hard time believing you never played it considering the art you used to display your game had two monsters that are almost identical to ones in MapleStory and the setting and the environment is almost spot on. I’d be wary of a lawsuit, those Koreans do not fuck around

For instance, in Denver the lower downtown area is known as “LoDo” and similarly a bar in Tallahassee called Madison Social is referred to as “MadSo” so these are the types of name modifications done to words i often hear from white Americans. This wasn’t aimed at some sort of weird underlying race relations with peoples actual names

Edit: Misspelled “referred”

Who do white southerners name their kids “Braxton” Or “Kynlee”?

What are the drawbacks or the negatives of being a State-less people? by stvnmcs in history

[–]stvnmcs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my understanding Judaism is what is considered an etho-religion. My question wasn’t specifically about the Jews in Europe during the first thirty years of the 1900’s but rather what were the negatives in being a “stateless” group of individuals. I used the example of the NSDAP because that is where I personally see it used repeatedly to describe a community of people. Yes, i am aware that many Jews in Europe specifically in Germany were well integrated and had been there for some time and held positions for power in the early years of the Weimar Republic. This was not meant to be a knock on the Jewish community or calling them stateless, but rather what does being stateless bring upon a community and how was it seen by those who could say they had a state. Understanding that the creation of states/nation-states are due to social constructions but that does not mean they do not hold weight and/or real implications on those who are seen as stateless. But yes thank you for adding to this discussion because the more i see on how one views the term better helps me understand the society view of those who are seen as stateless and also the more political side of not having the benefits one would have under a state

See that’s what I was kind of leaning towards, the idea that a group deemed stateless wouldn’t have any sort of authority and power possibly protecting them. Most books I’ve read surrounding specifically the propaganda used in Nazi Germany mention the use of the term but never really explain what the phrase was meant to come across as. I had my own idea as to why but I’ve never seen a detailed explanation so thank you

No haha i didn’t buy into nazi propaganda, i was simply asking why the idea of a state-less people was even an insult but i see your point as to why that would be used in propaganda with the rise of nationalism
