This is absolutely the case and no matter how many times I have tried to explain it to the people here they will not accept it. As you said...they have to suffer it to believe it...and that is too late for me. You either have empathy or you

I've found most things people say to defend/ignore/deny this issue and their views on it to be entirely unbased in factual knowledge. As you said it's hard to immigrate when healthy and having good options. Once you are

Cześć...Warsaw is where I spent the majority of my time living abroad. I love the city, people, my closest relationships are there along with the best doctors I ever had, and I'd love to return but since my health is so frustrating I w

I did save. I had a significant savings beyond what most Americans do. My life was still ruined. I am sorry for your experience and deeply understand how pain and medical issues can affect you, but what you are doing in my case is victim bl

OP here...I would happily go through checks and balance and accept sometimes I would have to appeal in a system where the goal is to help. In the US system its adversarial from the outset and the goal is to deny. I cannot even read some of

Important details to someone looking to twist things to blame me for the outcome. But I will answer even though I know your questions aren't meant with any good intent AND they display victim blaming from the outset. But I have a small

I will take what you described over the US situation any day, and don't hear any liberals I know describing it as perfect or a utopia...people in the best quality of life nations on Earth still complain about things of course, but don&

I tried to counter the backlash but I only have one vote. I hear you, agree with you, and know it to be true no matter what angry "nope" people choose to respond with. Some people refuse to believe any truth until they themselves

Yes please share. People need to know this is real and not abstract. I share often if nothing else to feel less alone and that I am still a human being. I used to be ashamed of it but don't care anymore because I've already lost e

I was disabled by bad surgery and lost my career. No system that ostensibly should have helped, did. Denied. Denied. Denied. YEARS of adversarial, not default helpful, meetings and challenges and interviews. I saw people worse than me refus

My 14yo Lumix bridge camera can do Bracketing and Exposure compensation with a button press. Every DLSR I have used can with no look buttons and dials as well. I don't know about the flash sync as I never used that. What cameras are yo

I tried to get people to use Wire but it was buggy enough, and still is with most ignored, the majority of converts have abandoned it. I have continual problems. If it would have been reliable it could have been a killer app as it was basic

I don't know...reading around it seems the mirrorless fans that dominate photography discussions REALLY hate mechanical shutters and optical viewfinders with some passionate fury. I feel like an old man shouting at clouds when saying I

Unless I am misunderstanding your wants you can already do that. Leave the camera's main control dial on Auto for the instant shot or P(rogram)...with appropriate auto ISO settings if so desired...to meet the requirements of your secon

Right now honestly zero, unless I came across the deal of a lifetime that I believed I could justify responsibly long term. The film idea was fleeting and not realistic. If it becomes possible I am hoping to get a used full frame body with

I disagree its nostalgia. I prefer composing that way and don't use it "because it's there", rather because I like to. It's more comfortable for me. It's also not bothered by sunlight washing out the display. I

You can't use an EVF at foot or waist level either. That's not what I am on about. I have no issue with using the large back display, articulating or not, as a live display when needed. But when I want to use a viewfinder I want i

by hestipod 7y ago
I meant specifically when using a viewfinder on a mirrorless camera, it means looking at a tiny LCD/OLED screen inside an eyepiece that simulates the classic view vs through glass lenses/prisms for an actual optical view. I like o

Yeah a 6D Mark I (7yo model) would cover anything I am and am likely to be interested in. It's popular in the astrophotography world for it's superb low light performance out of the box. It's on the "better days" sh

I had no desire to live with the limits of film again, I just thought it might be a cheap workaround. Ends up not being the case. I really cannot justify spending at all right now but I have looked at the prosumer stuff you mentioned. While

I thought about going back to film in order to get back into the hobby "cheaply", but quickly learned it was not going to be cheap at all and not worth the drawbacks even then. Prices are on the rise in all regards. Cameras and gl

I am probably a minority but I hate live viewfinders as looking at a tiny screen, despite the benefits live exposure composition offers, gives me eyestrain and headaches. I much prefer an optical viewfinder so for this reason I really hope

What does it taste like?

by hestipod 7y ago
I understand. Our mind is "us" and not something we can really let anyone else see. I guess I believe that some people live more in genuine sync with who they are, which can be done in a functional way that still allows you to exi

Because I don't see the fact that we have to present ourselves to the outside world with some form of restraint or self censorship to function (your technically correct "not who we appear to be") as remotely the same thing as

That VR future idea sounds horrifying to me. I want to know the genuine person, not fakery. It just ruins the point of any relationship for me...which is to share experience, honestly, vulnerability. If it all becomes a performance then why

As I said, the normal human failings/thoughts/emotions are not the same thing as this articles premise. I also do not accept that everyone has moments of cruelty. Cruel thoughts are not the same thing. We all think things and choo

I imagine your assessment to be more realistic, and the quote to be far too optimistic, even though I wish for the opposite. I know women have an entirely different level of pressure in this arena and the idea of not wearing makeup or being
