I feel that saying oglaf contains nsfw content, is like saying a nuclear bomb might be bad for your health…

Ich hab gehört, dass der KiKa mal versehentlich Felidae ausgestrahlt hat, weil sie ihn für einen Kinderfilm gehalten haben. Wenn das stimmt, dann hat der Film wahrscheinlich eine ganze Generation Kinder traumatisiert.

Das gleichnamige Buch ist jedenfalls awesome, Ich war richtig traurig als ich erfahren habe, dass der Autor Akif Pirincci einen an der Klatsche hat. Wer das Buch mal Second Hand findet, den kann ich es nur empfehlen. Die Fortsetzungen sind dagegen nur bedingt empfehlenswert.

Ah, der Rock‘n‘Roll Übermensch von den Ärzten! Vortreffliche Wahl!

Okay, nicht schlagen, ich halte den Klimawandel für eine ernste Gefahr…

Aber das Ende Juli (oder allgemein im Hochsommer) Bäume ihre ersten Blätter verlieren deckt sich durchaus mit meinen Beobachtungen. Ab August sehe ich seit 20 Jahren in den Regenrinnen oder auf Rasenflächen die ersten Häufchen kleiner, vertrockneter Blätter. Manchmal auch vereinzelt ein gelbes Blatt in einem Baum. Klar, in einem Monat ist fast September, in 2 Monaten fast Oktober!

Kann also am Klimawandel liegen, muss aber nicht. Ich schätze mal, es kommt auf die Menge an.

I hate it when that happens!

Yeah, the times certainly changed. I can understand the urge to protect kids from dangers, but sometimes we are also holding them back by being to overprotective.

Same here. As soon as I could read I always had my nose in a book. Only competitor to those was the computer my parents got.

Never did write much, besides some journaling in my early teens, but I remember I could basically create a whole (small) school essay in my Head, before putting it in one go down on paper. Yeah… I totally lost this ability. The words are jumbling in my head and sometimes I forget what I wanted to write a few seconds ago. That got better after I picked up journaling again, tho.

The Nikon F100 sounds awesome. Those last SLRs before digital took over were beasts!

It was sure nice talking to you, looking forward to more conversations!

Thank you for your story! I envy you a bit for your childhood friend, that sounds like an awesome acquaintance!

I’m just an amateur photographer who was never too interested in photography back then. I did shoot some film, but only on some cheap point and shoot cameras from the 90s. However, my father had some old SLR camera he used during vacations. That might have planted the seed why I suddenly got interested in photography 20 years later.

Sometimes a bit of nostalgia doesn’t hurt, thanks again for sharing this story from your past. If you want to get back into photography, I’ve heard all the cool kids shoot now with Nikon F3s ;)

The book is also photography related, I apologise. It’s a book about the canon A1, basically a glorified manual, written by a German author in the 70s. The book is very useful, but he author gushes about the camera more than a paid YouTube influencer today.

The lens should be the Canon FD 50mm 1.8, a very good lens, but I have my eye on the 50mm 1.4 and 55mm 1.2 S.C.C.

Through coincidence I got my hands on an old SLR, and while cumbersome and expensive, („Portra 400 is too damn expensive!!!“) filmphotography rekindled my my joy in photography.

Thanks for the link, seems handy!

Perspective. The railing is on the upper side of the picture. The balcony walls are glass. ;)

I have my yearly planner for, well planning. Appointments, vacation and stuff like that.

The other one is my journal. I try to put my thoughts of different topics into essay style entries.

I also have a small pocket notebook for notes. I try to bring it always with me, but honestly fail to do so pretty often.

Ah, the story of how Putins Russia invaded Ukraine.

Duly noted.

Thanks!

Where is this pic from?

Bang Lois Lane and order some pizza afterwards, obviously.

The mantra of /r/malelivingspace:

• proper lightsource like a standing lamp
• some potted plant for color and life
• get at least an armchair, dude.
• TV wallmounted at an appropriate height
• separation of living and sleeping (No TV in the bedroom)
• get a rug that that really ties the room together
• a big framed (!) artpiece like a painting or poster

There’s an IKEA couch table that used to cost 15 bucks and looks pretty good. Use rugs to create islands in the room, for example beneath the couch area. Use pillows on the couch as color accents. Maybe paint the walls something different than white.

Look on YouTube and the net, there should be plenty of inspiration.

Was? Kein Gutalax dabei?

Aua!

FUCK! I believed it.
