Yeah. I am a new-ish hobby photographer and at the moment I have a 50mm lens for my Canon R10 (I will buy a bigger lens soon). The camera with its current lens doesn’t zoom well but my smartphone could sometimes take a better photo zoomed in depending on how I play with the settings, angle and lighting.

The child is having a fever. It’s not good to vaccinate a sick person.

Predictably, people are arguing if violence can be an answer. But the best rule of thumb is “speak softly, but carry a big stick”. If peaceful demonstration and diplomacy ran its course, then violence is the only path forward. I mean, the abolition of slavery in the United States could never be done by peaceful means (unlike what UK had done) so war was the only way.
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 week ago:
I don’t know much about Indian laws and work culture, but many Indians I spoke to mentioned the work culture in their country is highly toxic. They prefer to work in American and Western companies instead of Indian-grown companies.
- Comment on punchable babies 3 weeks ago:
I grew up learning British spelling but I prefer American spelling. The American spelling is simplified because words are spelt as phonetically.

The North African region was a lush verdant region 11,000 years ago, which is not so long ago considering humans already spread far and wide around that time.
- Comment on Mine was the fact that Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr were both born in 1929 😭 5 weeks ago:
It was brought up in the movie, “Lincoln”, that the “Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection” by Charles Darwin was already published at the height of the US Civil War. Somehow, I disassociate the two events as being on completely different time period.
- Comment on Stop whining. Do it yourself. 1 month ago:
I see this response all the time “create your own if you want to see niche communities and Reddit communities migrate here.” Well, if I have the bloody time to moderate, or even if I do, will there be many people? And if there are many people, do I have the time to moderate? What if there are mod bickering and drama?
The question is time. Does anyone else have the time to moderate and put up with BS inevitable with most communities?
- Comment on Anon thinks it's too late 1 month ago:
Maybe Anon is neurodivergent and doesn’t even realise it.
I know people who are diagnosed later in life, which explains a lot when we were growing up.

That’s why I am not buying new ones until I finish the others.
- Comment on Anon reads a book for school 2 months ago:
Where I’m from originally, it’s perfectly fine to hit someone for bullying you. Nine times out of ten the bully is weak him/herself and cowers if you “return in kind” of how they treat you. I don’t know why many Westerners are reluctant to hit a bully. But my guess is that the fear of litigation is the bigger fear.

Ironic that you used the image of Batman, because it is literally my interest on Batman that has been re-ignited.
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 2 months ago:
It will take years for Lemmy to take off in much the same way as Reddit had slowly built up.
As I and other mentioned before, the main downside of Lemmy is that the community you care about isn’t here (and frankly, I don’t know if they will even come here at all). Like, we don’t have AskHistorians here, and the Lemmy for your hometown or country is either quiet or just completely died. So, I end up having no choice but to return to Reddit to keep in touch with those communities. However, as someone who is privacy conscious since Reddit now sells your data to train AI, I try to log in to Reddit with Tor. But even with the Onion site of Reddit, it won’t let me log in at most times because of technical discrepancy with stupid captchas or something. Sometimes I could log in via Tor but most times I’m not able to.
Anyhow, I would love Lemmy to take off as soon as possible but there is teething problem common in new communities. But the pessimistic side of me thinks it may not since so many people have become too invested in Reddit. And the latter intentionally hooked people in for the worst reasons.
- Comment on They're the same picture. 2 months ago:
Am I missing something? Is this saying there is similarity between an innocent victim of a genocide with someone who is creating a new genocide on another group of people?
- Comment on Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? 2 months ago:
Bought games from years ago I have to finish. Waste of money if I don’t complete them and I keep buying new ones.
- Comment on Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? 2 months ago:
I’m nearly finishing up The Witcher 2. Judging from the discussions, I’m afraid of starting Witcher 3 because I have other backlog of games I have to finish as soon as possible.

Some people take pleasure in being pitied and victimised.

You joke, but some animals are psychopaths. I remember a news years ago of a seal raping a penguin.

This is the real joke.
Wait, what joke?
- Comment on Rules 2 months ago:
It’s interesting to hear the pov of an Australian. From the outsider’s perspective, I think you love rules given Australia’s outside reputation as a nanny state.
- Comment on c o e x i s t 2 months ago:
I think I read somewhere that in order for the Romans to abnegate their role in killing Jesus, as they transitioned to Christianity, they scapegoated the Jews. Although, it was the people who demanded to crucify Jesus. But of course, anti-semites focused on the ethnicity, instead just ascribing the mob justice to just-- on people.
My guess is that because Jews reject the divinity of Jesus, the Christians found it fair to oppress the Jews. It is not different though to the crusading missions of later Christians in the medieval Europe. The non-Christians refuse to recognise Jesus Christ as both the son of God and god himself, the either they convert, or else be killed or ostracised.

“Academia is being esoteric” or in other words “academia is a pompous twat”.

With this kinda thing, better to report to HR first than make a counter joke.

It is worth mentioning that when the first stuffed sample of platypus was sent to Britain, the scientists thought it is a joke.
- Comment on Alpha 2 months ago:
The alpha/beta wolf notion doesn’t even make much of a sense, considering wolves tend to be loners but only make packs when they need to hunt.
- Comment on MSc Mansplaining 3 months ago:
Ffs I hate PragerU. The website “All Sides Balanced” quotes them as if they are a reliable and genuine university that does research, when in fact it’s a right wing propaganda machine that spews the already derided laissez faire economics and climate change denialism.

I imagine it would be for older games though?
- Comment on "what happened??" 3 months ago:
I was a huge fan of Ubisoft. I basically stopped playing any of their games after Assassins Creed 3. With the exception of AC: Black Flag, which I got from the high seas, ironically.
