I have a moto and the photos indeed do suck compared to my DSLR. But I’m a hobbyist, not a professional photographer. If I were taking pictures at an important event or something, yeah, I’d probably pack my DSLR for that. When it comes to day to day pictures, just capturing memories, it’s not worth it for me anymore.
I would love to get a mirrorless eventually though, seems like the best of both worlds.
I feel like things have been trending this way for a while now. DSLR is a lot clunkier than modern options like mirrorless. I own a decent one, but at this point, I’ll usually just shoot with my phone for convenience. Trying to hike or whatever with a big camera and lenses swinging around is a hassle.
It sold out on the Nintendo store within a day. So stupid… I would have considered this, but the retail price was already pushing what I’d be willing to spend.
You’d think Nintendo would have a system in place to limit scalping, but I guess a sale is a sale to them.
Agreed, he’s not smart enough to think of this. The actual name would be more on the nose. America’s Sun or something like that.
Honestly, that’s fair. I was feeling pretty frustrated toward the end of the argument, but you’re right that I shouldn’t have stopped to name-calling.
Whatever, I can tell I’m at a dead end with trying to get through to you. This is a Lemmy post, not your first year gender studies class… it’s really not that deep. Maybe get over yourself and touch some grass.
There’s being strongly opinionated, and then there’s acting like a stubborn, arrogant ass. The fact that just about everyone in this thread disagrees with you does not exactly reflect positively on your argument. And yet you continue to double down.
For the record, I do somewhat understand the point you’re trying to make. Maybe this was not the post for me to speak on what I consider to be attractive, but I really didn’t give it that much thought. So fair play for calling me out on that to an extent.
But I truly believe intention matters. If a man simply stating what he finds attractive about a woman is enough for you to think he’s sexist, I guess you’re entitled to your opinion. That you would equate me to someone who compares women wearing makeup to sexual assault is completely unhinged. I genuinely feel sorry for you if that’s how you go through life.
This is me, except I don’t like my job either. Still, when I compare my situation to others in my city, it could be much worse.
And while I don’t have any retirement savings yet, I’m 35…if I can get that ball rolling soon, I’m hoping I’m not completely fucked.
Have you ever considered that maybe you’re just not as smart as you seem to think you are? Or that people may not always agree with you, and that’s okay?
Neither observation has anything to do with your gender by the way, though I have a sneaking suspicion you won’t see it that way.
You’re so close.
Am I though?
For a complete stranger, you seem to think you’ve got me all figured out. While we’re throwing accusations around, you come across as really defensive and needlessly confrontational.
I’m just expressing my opinion, but okay, sure.
Nah, I disagree. Let’s stop normalizing this “AI is here to stay, embrace it or get left behind” rhetoric. That argument only serves the people pushing the technology.
We don’t need AI, and I haven’t seen a compelling argument for supporting it yet. As far as I’m concerned, the sooner this bubble pops, the better.
This argument is stupid either way of course… But I find the picture on the right way more attractive.
Nice, enjoy!
If you’re newer to Sci Fi and want to try something really quick that’s a bit more disturbing, I’d also highly recommend ‘I Have No Mouth but I Must Scream’ by Harlan Ellison. It’s a short story, you could probably knock it out in like 30 minutes, but I love it.
Lesabendio by Paul Scheerbart comes to mind. But It’s not wtf in a disturbing sense like these books. More like ‘wtf am I reading?’ - it’s a really unique and imaginative early sci-fi book.
First of all, welcome! Here’s some tips I found to be helpful.
Browse by ‘all’ to find new communities. If you find a post you like there, check out the community and subscribe to it. It’s worth taking a look first to see how active it is too.
Once you have subscribed to some communities, I find your homepage is a better experience for every day browsing, since it’s catered to you. Try sorting by ‘hot’ to get newer posts. Toward the end of the day, I like switching to ‘top today’.
Don’t expect the fediverse to be the perfect Reddit replacement. Not as many people use it, and there are unfortunately fewer niche communities than there are subreddits. That said, it’s really what you make it. If you decide to stick around, make an effort to post yourself. It’s something I’m still working on myself, but every bit helps!
I actually prefer Lemmy to Reddit now, because it’s bloated with less bullshit, and I find the people (outside of a few communities) to be far more open-minded and less confrontational. Anyway, I hope you like it here!
