Photography. I bought a second hand camera body, a couple of adapters and have been building up a roster of cheap old 70s-80s lenses. I can bring my camera whenever I go out, or go on more specific photography walks. It makes me look at things more closely, and therefore enjoy them more.

Whenever I’ve brought my camera to events and gatherings, the response has been very positive and people really enjoy the photos being “artistic” and “dream-like” (on account of the imperfect vintage lenses and my often poor manual focusing).

It’s been a fun journey of discovering what lenses I most enjoy using. For me it’s been either 40-45mm for walking around snapshots or 180-200mm for portraiture.

Maybe I’ll get some more modern gear some day, but then I’ll know exactly what I want, and have the skill to use it to the fullest.

Is this one of those “believe someone because of their gender regardless of the evidence” arguments? That kind of thinking is dangerous and sexist.

Of course they have benefits. Depending on the situation of course. I wouldn’t put one in my computer, but I sure as shit have one in my home with a kid running around. Turns out a fan with all the heavy spinning hardware stuff in it’s base is less likely to fall over than one with all that stuff up on top. Honestly all my Dyson stuff work fucking great for their intended purpose.

Paying the absolute minimal amount for something isn’t necessary the goal of life. You’re not a corporation.

Would be a shame if a “malfunctioning” “AI” air traffic controller directed his plane into a tanker truck “mistakenly” left on the runway.

NK and China are garbage shitholes pretending to be civilised.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted for being right. They can’t shoot for shit either.

They promoted the slop-machine with “Scandinavian apartment” didn’t they?

Yes. It’s a clear sign that someone is… well, slow.

She kinda looks like she has downs syndrome or something like that.

Dishwashers generally use cold water hand heats it to the required temperature inside the machine for the cleaning cycle, then uses cold water for rinse cycle. Imagine it like washing 15+ plates and cutlery under the tap, but at the same time. A fully loaded dishwasher will always be more efficient than doing the same amount of dishes manually.

A dishwasher generally use less water than running dishes under the tap.

There’s no such thing as different races.

Religions are dangerous cults that abuse children.

Easy if you don’t cook much.

Mullvad has not claimed to be against it. Mullvad has pretty much said “if you don’t like free speach, we’re sorry you feel that way”.

Not really. Just like no one gets offended when Japan use squid ink in burger buns, or put noodles in a baguette/hot dog bun.

This is horrible advice for someone who is obviously not “neurotypical”.

You could probably try to talk about your favourite anime, or Sonic the hedgehog. I’m sure you’ll find you have lots in common!

Nintendo has become an identity to many simple adults. Just like Disney.

Pirates are likely to have the better experience.

What am I being pretentious about exactly? Do you know what the word means?
