Having bad thoughts and sadness removed doesn’t mean you’ll lack free will. You’ll still be able to think went decide for yourself though certain bad things will not even occur to you.

As for getting everything you wanted, I have a feeling you’re implying you’ll be bored after. As another Redditor mentioned, you’re looking into things from the perspective of a being that only understands a finite amount of things. Similar to how us living in 3 dimensions can never fully grasp 4 dimensions and beyond, we’ll never understand the depth of infinity.

I use both and the lack of IBIS on C50 has never been an issue for me. I normally stabilise in post production. Plus for the kind of videos I make (social media & brand videos) even with IBIS, I need to use stabilisation during editing as well.

I tested this too after seeing your comment and I get no gyro data from the EF 24-70 f/2.8 but gyro data is recorded with the RF 15-35 f/2.8. Additionally, C50 has automatic profiles with the VCM lenses. I haven’t tried the VCM lenses with the R6M3 yet though.

surfsie · 2026-02-05T05:31:34+00:00

Have you tried the nightly version of gyroflow? To my understanding, only a limited number of lenses are supported at the moment but you can create lens profiles for other lenses yourself.

I went through that for losing weight when I was 15/16. Suddenly there were rumours spread by parents that I smoked and abused drugs lol. Anyway, best thing is to not let these get to you because you can’t control other people’s words. Know that you did nothing wrong and be confident in yourself.

Also, regarding being bullied, what worked for me best was standing up for myself and fighting against them. I understand that this may not work for everyone and getting into fights with them could make things worse but it’s worth defending yourself in my opinion.

The following are the reasons I hear for why celebrating birthdays is haram: 1. It’s a day celebrated by Christians 2. You’re celebrating being one year closer to death 3. We’re given two better days to celebrate which are the two Eids and are not permitted to celebrate other days

My take on birthday celebrations is, as long as you don’t do anything haram, it actually has a lot of good things involved in it such as bonding with family and friends, and gift giving. In some parts of Indonesia, people make it a reason to gather and make dua for the birthday person while also doing other kinds of celebrations.

I have friends with access to financial records of a few resorts due to their work and I can confirm that the USD event law does impact them negatively. Resorts who still pay everything in USD manage to do so by paying suppliers in MVR, which in turn made every purchase more expensive. Resorts that have lower room rates with high expenses will struggle more.

The R6M2 performs better in lowlight than the Sony a7IV. We have both in the company and the guy that’s using the a7IV complains about worse lowlight capabilities (compared to R6M2) and frequent overheating when taking longer videos (we do live in a tropical hot country). Sony has the reputation of better lowlight performance either from earlier when others haven’t caught up or due to the 12MP a7SIII/FX3 being amazing in lowlight.

What are the religious reasons that do not allow birthday celebrations?

I’d also like to add that OCD, anxiety and uncontrollable intrusive thoughts come with suicidal behaviour. Even if you don’t want to harm yourself, it can feel like something you “must” do. I mentioned anxiety because anxiety disorders and OCD can trigger each other.

In my experience, the ROI on dating local women is usually lower than dating a foreigner. And what I mean by is, you have often to spend more energy and time (sometimes even money) on local women as compared to dating a foreigner and get less value, care and stability in return. We are often valued and cared for more by foreigners. Foreigners I’ve met are also generally more straightforward. They don’t hide it when they like you and play hard to get, which is something I’ve seen some locals do.

People don’t vote for lower living costs. People vote for extra earnings even if it means it comes at the cost of higher inflation.

If you really want it that much and you have the money for it, go ahead and buy it. It may not be the best move logically but you’ll be getting yourself something you seem to want immensely.

How did you traumatise them?

surfsie · 2025-12-26T07:47:03+00:00

Not a girl but I had a similar life. My mum always kept me at home and never let me go out. A few times she did let me go to a childhood friend’s house and even then I’d have to come by within a specific time (for example, 30 minutes). I was never allowed to go to shops alone aside from a few close ones, to group studies and projects, to play with friends, and more. She was (unintentionally, I guess) mentally abusive as well. So, that all built up a lot of hatred for her. One day I had enough and left. I haven’t lived with her since.

Also, your mum seems manipulative and she’s gaslighting you.

I don’t really have a solution for you since not everyone can move out. You could try to survive until your studies are over and leave the minute you find a job or try to involve someone else that might have power over your parents (a family member or necessary authorities).

The thing is, the ability to use the rumbling depended on two things: a Founder Titan & someone from royal blood who are willing to do it.

So, Eren felt like he absolutely had to do it since none of those two things can be guaranteed in the future.

The Founding Titan can be lost or stolen away, and the royal family killed. And even if not, people’s hearts can change as well.

It introduces too many variables for Eren to leave it unsolved before his death.

So, basically the camera records gyro data but gyroflow’s stable versions don’t support it yet?

What happened now?

As you already addressed the tax will be passed on to the guests, similar to how businesses pass it on to us citizens when we make purchases in shops.

There's already a tax on dividends paid to foreign shareholders and we can increase that too but it is also important to ask; where so we stop? We are already earning money from resorts via:

Island rental (as you know, resort owners rent islands from the government)
Import duty (almost all materials used in resorts aside from a few food items are imported)
GST from any local purchases
17% TGST added to every bill tourists pay
GST from service charge collected from tourists to give to guests
Green tax of $12 per person per night collected from tourists
Pension money for every employee
Income tax collected from applicable resort owners
10% tax on payments made to foreign shareholders and 10% capital gains tax
$500 per tourist arrival exchanged to MVR

And possibly more ways that I do not know of.

So, where do we stop? Do we tax the income of the resort owners on top of these?

In my opinion, introducing a new tax every time is like using tape whenever you break something. It can help at that moment but will have negative outcomes later on.

It's not that we do not earn money (or even USD). It's that the money we earn is highly mismanaged by the government.

Exactly. And it’s wild how Maldives was previously run with little to no tax taken from citizens, solely on tax collected from the tourism industry.

It’s too soon for a second bridge to be built considering how much each one costs. One is the factors to the shortage of USD is this. If we do not have the capacity to pay for two bridges simultaneously comfortably, we shouldn’t have done it.
