  • “Nah, eight words in, I think I’ve got enough here to unload my insecurities without it seeming at all irrelevant to the full comment. In fact, I’m so confident I have the full context, I’ll include a full-stop there in the quote. The words immediately after were probably useless. There! Now, time to finish it off with a ‘If you think…’ retort that will definitely be on point and worth everyone’s time.”

    “You don’t have to admit you were wrong”

    🤣

    What an opener to appeal for unity, Jesus fucking Christ.

    The American Left and Right are indistinguishable people apart from political views.

    Imagine what y’all could achieve if the circlerks were united as one big fucking circlejerk. That’s what Putin is blocking because GAWD DAMN was it effective in the last century.

    But if unity can’t be started until someone admits something they don’t believe… Cool. Enjoy the dying years of your country, furled by stubbornness above all else.

    I reiterate; The American Left and Right are indistinguishable people. Shouldn’t that mean something for common ground sake? Shake fucking hands ffs


  • Think select loose ideas of the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory without the whacky details. The vibe of holding back progression by fueling division and tribalism, constantly asserting ones ideas and opinions over others without context to do so.

    It makes the ideas and opinions less likely to happen because the people that say them do so without consideration of other’s opinions and ideas, imagining all individuals to be the same as the worst individual. This leads to the other tribe, who have the exact shortcomings as you and I, to mutually returns the same lack using the same terms and methods. Like “they”, “so you” and “tribe B wants to”. Not only does progression stagnate, it starts going backward.

    MLK preached this heavily.

    The lack of “because I want to understand” at the end of your comment implies your might be more poised to disregard or attack anything OP may have to say, rather than get a better understanding in effort to see how things can be mutually progressed. I hope I’m wrong in that.

    And sorry for the bad typos. I cleaned what I could, but my screen is damaged.

    I’m not great with analog, but you could consider developing them in a dark room so you can try with different exposure times and filters, then scan the photo paper. That may then give a much better starting point to tweak more in Lightroom.

    There’s often darkroom services or hire places in larger metro areas.

    Edit: Looking at it more, if you do a short exposure on the enlarger in a dark room, you’ll get an idea of how much overexposure is in the film. It may well be that there’s no detail there to bring back, even if underexposing. But if there is, you could do some old-school analog HDR by exposing three versions at set stops, then overlay those as one in Lightroom to recover detail.








  • Some times Person A can be so fallacious or incorrect, Person B may assume they’re intentionally wasting time by trolling, doubting that Person A is actually unintentionally that incompetent or incapable of discourse.

    This usually starts when Person A ignores what Person B has said or starts applying common argument fallacies, seemingly for the sake of being right as a priority over empathising or broadening perspective.

    Of my many years socialising on the Internet, it should be very rare to be called a troll; so much so that if it happens, it’s likely I’m being a total twat entirely out of touch with reality. So, if you’re finding this happens to you regularly, it may be food for thought to at least listen/read what someone is saying and ponder on it before responding. If you start wasting their time, prepare tocontinue being called a troll.
