100%. You bring up some great points.

I have nothing to add, except I think Emma Goldman has a really good essay on political violence I think everyone should read. (though, not sure it very much applies to this particular act of political violence)

That’s awesome you got back into it for pure enjoyment!

Gear acquisition syndrome is real though. Fortunately for me I was able to recover from it in the context of guitars. Unfortunately for me I picked up photography as a hobby…

Cool cool, yeah i was reading on the wikipedia that he fought in the war. Will probably pick that up next. Thanks!

I gotcha. I believe it. Have any book recs on the topic? Think this’ll probably be the my next lil history read after I’m done 100 Years War on Palestine

edit: topic being spanish civil war period

Thanks, I’ll read up on it.

But from what I’ve read so far, the violence wasn’t exclusively from anarchist groups and more of mass violence from all leftist groups during that time towards clerics and rightists?

Also who are these anarchists cleansing dissidents?

Thank you, Bo Burnham, for exposing me to the idea that

🎶Private property’s inherently theft, and neoliberal fascists are destroying the leeeeeft🎶

I play guitar casually since a little before COVID. Becoming more fluent with it every time I play is an amazing feeling.

Getting into a groove, putting my own spin/expressing myself with songs I like, and jamming with friends are experiences that are unmatched in enjoyment for me.

Making up my own silly songs on the fly is fun too.

Learning to play is the best thing I ever did. I had to get over the idea that it would be hard work to get good, or the idea that I’d never be as good as someone who started as a kid, or that I’d ever even be technically good, at all. Letting go of that stuff allowed me to enjoy each moment playing, and just have fun.

TLDR:

I figured “frame” refers to glasses, but looks like people are thinking it’s a box of some sort.

Edit: oop I see you already mentioned that in the post body

Yeah. So the 50mm Summicron DR (I believe it stands for “dual range”) lens from the mid '50s into the late '60s has a minimum focus distance of 1m, but there are these attachable “goggles” that you can pop on the top of the lens that allow you to focus from ~0.5m to 1m. They look like this:

Thanks, yeah its a dream. She’s cute but she’s a monster lol

thanks :) I’ve been tightening up my scanning and inversion process, and part of that is adjusting the colors to look as accurate as possible.

Too bad he’s a sex pest.

Edit: looks like we’ve got some sex pest defenders in here. here’s the video where andrew admits to it, and fails to take accountability

I mean, I think it’s a cringe comic for sure. I agree with your other comment about it in this thread. But to dismiss it as a strawman, as if it were an argumentative essay instead of the cringy make-fun-of-morons comic – that smells more of fascist tears than it does of concerned leftist.

Hmmm…sounds like we’ve got a fascist sympathizer on our hands…

Or in other words, a fascist.

I choose I. Why? I-C-E-D. Free? Yessiree. Cold and totally bold. Aloned and totally stoned.

I is the place to be. I is the place for me. High is the state of me. I choose I.
