I just uninstalled Destiny 2 and I'm about to rage quit video games entirely and sell my Xbox/Playstation/etc. for camera lenses.

Advertisements are as bad as TikTok if not worse

I deleted tik tok a while back bc I realized the auto play/scroll feature was horrible in terms of addiction. It just throws things at you without time to process it over and over again. What else does that sound like. And funny how no one gives a shit about it. Ads. EVERY fucking where there are ads. No wonder we are so fucked up, I feel like things ramped up in the 70's to now and now we are getting fucked by this ultimate capitalist concoction of attention grabbing vomit. I'm just sick of it all and disappointed how it hollowed out the internet, and companies are now using AI to ruin the internet even more. Even my fucking kindle e reader has AI ads when you open it, all the books are from greedy fucks who just ran shit through Chat GPT, got an AI generated cover and promoted it. I fucking hate this shit we need a revolution or huge boycott this world is fucking stupid.

Can’t wait for the day you to move to another fandom so I never have to see incest or you treating Hanzo like a loser/cuck on his AO3 tag ever again 💀

Okay.

Although I find it interesting that when Hanzo has a cheating partner, you fault and stigmatize and insult Hanzo, and not his partner. Very interesting, Anon, very interesting.

Anyway. Feel free to research ways to create a custom skin on AO3 that allows you to block specific authors and tags. I have one, and it's greatly improved my AO3 experience, and I have a feeling it will do the same for you.

To my dear followers: I tag asks like this "ant* an*n d*scourse". Please feel free to block that tag if you don't want to see stuff like this! Love you all, and thank you for following!

I'm sorry but sometimes they deserve it... And CSR and CSA. As someone that worked in those areas and heard how they talk about customers they look for it lmao. Also, some of them really aren't genuine, like yeah I get it some ppl are trying to make an honest dollar but you don't gotta be an asshole about it. I'll treat ppl the way they treat me. Respect me and I'll respect you, disrespect me and I'll most certainly disrespect you.

sorry if this is controversial but if you’re rude to cashiers i think you should. idk. Explode

The short answer is... a tilt-shift lens.

The slightly more complicated answer is... Mister Rogers.

Depth of field is the area in front and behind your chosen focus point that remains in focus and then slowly gets blurry as you get farther away.

Shallow depth of field only has a narrow slice of the image in focus and gets blurry super quick. This is caused by a large lens aperture and being close to the subject.

Deep depth of field can extend through the entire picture if your aperture is small and you are super far away.

Usually the depth of field lines up with the image sensor of your camera. So if it is tilted forward, the plane of focus matches.

The stuff outside the green area would be blurry. The edges of the green would be slightly blurry. And the dashed green line would be the sharpest area of the photo.

But the tilt-shift lens allows you to create chaos with your plane of focus. In most cases, you would use this to flatten the depth of field so you can get a 2D plane entirely in focus.

If you were to use a normal lens, the bottom left and top right would be blurry.

But with a tilt-shift lens you can do this.

The green area is taking a little nap on the floor.

However, there is an unintended side effect created by this lens. (The "Scheimpflug intersection" if you want to go down the rabbit hole.) You can choose absolutely wacky planes of focus that create a very narrow depth of field over a geographically large area.

Believe it or not, this is when psychology comes into play.

And possibly Mister Rogers.

Our only reference for such a large area having a shallow depth of field is our memories of miniatures on TV. So Mister Rogers and Thomas the Tank Engine trained our brains to see this effect as... small.

Depth of field shrinks the closer you are to something. And when filming miniatures, you are placing the lens close to the scene. But the scene represents something big in our minds. We buy the effect, but not 100%. That blurriness wouldn't be there at a regular scale. So our subconscious remembers we are watching small things pretending to be big. It just files that away in the back of our mind.

And then when we see something like this...

Our brain is all, "Look at all that tiny shit!"

Without Mister Rogers, our brains may have never made these connections and tilt-shift photography may just make us wonder why everything is all blurry. That connection to past experience is vital for this effect to be convincing.

Brains are neat.
