Additionally there are composure issues

This particular photo would be improved much by cropping in closer to the subject.

Backing off from a subject to include foreground and sky only works well when the foreground and sky are both interesting and complement the subject.

In your photo, the foreground pebbly beach adds nothing; it just isnt interesting. The same applies to the sky. The white board laying on the beach distracts the viewer. As do the two chumps standing next to the boat, and the leaning crane on the left. The only interesting thing in this photo is the subject itself, which is composed to only occupy about 10% of the image. The vast majority of pixels in the photo are disposable.

That’s why this photo didn’t deliver the punch you might have thought it would: the photo’s technical flaws are not the problem. It’s the composition.

This is a good lesson in composure: the composition of a photo must never take precedence over the subject matter. You can’t “improve” a photo simply by widening the shot and putting the camera close to the ground. The subject matter at hand has to be accept and be evocative with that composition (as in the example I linked to above). This subject matter isn’t.

For this image on the day it was taken, a tighter crop and slight repositioning would make the boat more intriguing, spending a higher percentage of photo pixels on interesting subject . As in this photo. You can see here the sky and beach aren’t really that interesting, so the photographer did not compose them as first class citizens.

Taken on a different day with a different sky and different beach/water conditions, this composition might have worked slightly better. But probably not better enough.

GenX here. We had a plethora of other names: nerd (before it was desirable to be labeled that), dweeb, dweeblet, dillweed, dillhole, dork, dorkwad, goober, he-hasnt-had-pussy-since-pussy-had-him, dolt, bozo, numpty, schlub, git

Gonna need to cordon off your bathroom pal.

The world has been radically transforming for 2000 years. The rise of agriculture, the dark ages, the printing press, the discovery of the new world, the renaissance, isaac newton, the industrial age, the combustion engine, the atomic age, etc. There’s no evidence that current transformations underway are any more or less radical. It is a constant and uninterrupted transformation. We are biased: current transformations feel more profound to us simply because we are living through them.

For all the benefits of a cerebellum, humans are wired to focus on their immediate needs: food, shelter, water, sex. Yes, the higher brain can put a man on the moon, but that doesn’t put dinner on the table tonight, or pay the rent this week.

With limits to our energy, time, and attention, we (statistically) each focus on the here and now. Anything “down the road” (like climate change), is “tomorrow’s problem”. It’s not malevolence; it’s our wiring at a biological level.

The development of a cerebellum on top of our lizard brain was necessary to assure survival. But it came with some critical drawbacks that needed mitigation: We became aware of the nature of our mortality. We could spend precious energy consumed with tasks that gave future benefit (like farming or making tools). The equation stood to be unbalanced. The squirrel who spends his energy collecting nuts still needs to eat today’s meal. Humans couldn’t stand around helplessly fearing their own eventual death. We were therefore gifted with the ability to easily ignore transformative changes around us, and ignore knowledge/wisdom that our cerebellums deduce; instead simply adapt to whatever our environment gives us.

This manifests mostly as procrastination and avoidance. Inaction does not imply ignorance. We are behaving as we are currently designed to behave. All the wars, violence, theft, torture, and cruelty are manifestations of our lower brains, and evidence that they retain control. What humanity doesn’t grasp in its smugness is that we are not finished yet. Our evolution is not complete. It will require perhaps a hundred thousand more years for the slow hand of evolution to winnow out the petty behaviors that drive us. If we survive that long, we will become altruistic beings motivated by rational thought, acting to effect both our short and long term needs.

Until that day, the space aliens will do what they always do: have a quick look then turn around and go home.

Yes teaching is an option but you can study a broad too.

The thing in the image is too big to be a carry on

Dont be a waxpacker.

You need to slowly spin the q tip as you push it in. And at the same time spiral the walls like a basketball. These combined motions serve to wick the wax onto the cotton rather than packing it in.

Wtf do you need a q-tip for “outer ear stuff”? A qtip is a very inefficient tool for outer ear stuff.

Love your work.

I just checked your download log and I dont see any videos that would set off alarms.

Nothing. Happens all the time. Your best bet is to file a copyright in the work and subtly state that in the script

Yes but 98% of the music is shit. Anybody with a ten year old laptop and a pirated copy of Cubase thinks theyre a music producer. Instead of listening to music you spend your time searching through garbage
