Yep. My parents are in their own echo chamber of Fox news and other 80-year-old racist fucks, and anything you try to say bounces off them with the basic formula you outlined. Actual external logic doesn’t matter. The wild thing is how big that echo chamber has gotten.

a good dropperful of liquid vitamin D is good for me once a week. make sure it’s enough – the typical recommended daily values (at least in the US) are pretty low.

lol! I jokingly thought of that song when I clicked in here. Definitely the most catchy thing around rn.

Totally! Thanks 😊

and inspired C#, which is pretty rad! (humble opinion… preparing for downvotes because I don’t get the feeling lemmy is where M$ devs hang out)

LOL

awesome! thanks for the deets. Really nice shot~!

Very nice. What did you use (lens + post processing etc.)?

Haha yeahhh, go all Pet Sematary on em :-)

Hmm… Yup, unpopular.

Lots of good advice here already about phone vs camera etc. On that note I’d say, whatever will inspire you to take more pictures. If there’s something just cool to you about having an old film camera with manual focus, for example, go for that. The other sometimes overlooked side is post processing. To me, what you do to the photo on your computer is at least half of what makes a good photo. This can be Photoshop (if you have a license thru your work/school, otherwise it gets expensive), Lightroom (ditto), Affinity Photo (which I use), or free options like RawTherapee, gimp, etc. If you enjoy tweaking photos, this can be a deeeeep rabbit hole! It’s amazing what you can do with a few skills. Anyway… just wanted to plug that other aspect of photography since I love it so much. Good luck!

Same! Hell, I run it on mostly-ultra, as I prefer image quality to frames most of the time. (also, I’m not 4k or anything… Just an old 1080p 60hz monitor)
