I started back in like 2005 when I got my first kit with an 18-55 lens. Dad had some suitable longer older analog's I had as well on top. Those are the ones I still have. I've bought a few lenses and cameras here and there but I mostly ran out inspiration ten years ago.
Don't have a car, don't have a functioning bike, just don't even feel like going out. But I do miss it.

I thought it must be long af. Not a long "AF" (as in the nikkor AF's) but long as fuck. Very nice.
I only got a cheap 300mm. Well I do have my dad's old lenses as well and there's double-rings and whatnot but that's... more niche stuff. Not really for fast photography of moving targets, lol.

Sorry for doubting you.

Oh. Well they look like a sort of a cross between our methhead jackrabbits and the cute little fluffy ones. Thanks for the images. That's a really good photo. What lens did you use?

I won't believe that before you upload other angles where more can be seen or the raw file for this.
This seems like an AI's idea of a mix between a rabbit and a hare.

I'm neutral and you're reading into it.
If you find it offensive that I caught on about you actually not having the authority which you pretend to have on the subject, then the "hostility" is from your own non-acceptance of your ignorance, not me calling out your hypocrisy. If you don't pretend to be an expert falsely, people can't shame you for falsely pretending to be an expert, can they?
>But dude I don’t fucking care about reading Leviathan!
Then don't make statements like
>“carcerial justice is just as fascistic as anything we associate with fascism” which never gets even thought about let alone discussed anywhere
Because it **DOES GET DISCUSSED**, you just "don't fucking care" to read the discussion.
Just to alleviate the "you're so mean" thing, the point here is very shortly that you can not have a society without some sort of a government. That probably sounds very authoritarian, because lots of people don't use these words in the same context as they're used in the philosophical discussion of politics. It's because *any* society that comprises of more than three members **will have** some sort of rules. And those rules will then be enforced in some way. And **that** is the question they try to answer in these **HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF PHILOSOPHICAL DISCUSSION** that isn't hidden anywhere and accessible to pretty much literally everyone in the world through the miracle of the internet, **which you claim doesn't exist.**
They do explore the alternatives. Pretty much **all** of them. You should just *start* with Hobbes because he sort of started the conversation because it was around the time belief in the "divine right of kings" was already faltering. And since you "don't fucking care about reading Leviathan", you might put on the "baby philosophy" or whatever you called it (seems you've cleaned up your answer a bit) from de Botton and quickly listen to the cliffnotes on what he thought about it from a guy — who is making pop-philosophy videos, yes, but — who also is a professional philosopher and is objectively communicating their ideas rather skilfully. As that will save you time on reading the centuries of books on the matter as you can get the cliffnotes or sort of "previously on:" so that you can get to the book that you're more interested in reading but which comments a lot on the earlier works which you may or may not have read.
Like 14 years ago or something I had just recently seen Slavoj Zizek, and I enjoyed his analysis (and honestly just his person.) So after watching some of his speeches and the The Pervert's Guide to Cinema and The Pervert's Guide to Cinema, I decided to pick up a book of his. It's genuinely the only book I've ever just given up on, as back then I was nearly as read and it made so many references to specific ideas of specific earlier philosophers, that I spent like a few days getting through just the first pages as I had to teach my self so much stuff backwardly before really understanding what Slavoj was trying to say. I also tried reading it without doing that and it was fine, you can keep up the context somewhat, but I noticed after a chapter or two that I had gotten something wrong on a fundamental level and had been getting some tiny idea wrong for a few pages and it had coloured my read of it and I had to do it all again.
So, because Hobbes is one of the fundamental thinkers on the subject, despite his own personal political views, he does make good and fundamental points about society. They're not too complex, so you honestly don't **need** to read the entire book. Fucking read a wiki-article what do I care. I'm just trying to point out that because you're trying to make spending a night in a drunk tank "as fascist" as marching people to a gas chamber, you don't seem to have a too nuanced understanding of the necessities of certain control measures in a society.
Google ["State of Nature"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_nature) to start with idk.
Like idk how you'd expect me to politely inform you of just how wrong you were in that statement because it would require me to author a succinct reply that would still convey hundreds of years of philosophical ponderings which you thought didn't even exist?
*edit* that wasn't exactly that "shortly". well, to me it was, but I gather other people perceive it differently sometimes

Oh you're laughing at it because he's so familiar to you because it's the most "hardcore" philosophy you've ever engaged with? Yeah, I assumed as much.
That's why I assumed you wouldn't read "Leviathan" and from all your writing it's clear you never have previously. Or even listened to a summary. Perhaps had those playing in the background, *pretending* like you've been listening to them.
The way you can't distinguish a thought from the philosopher who brought it up shows that you larp as being read instead of being read.
>I don’t need Alain de Buttman’s watered down baby philosophy for online babies, please and thank you.
Oh you most certainly do. It would definitely improve your skill on larping as a philosopher if you had the ability to pay any attention.
>I’ve read thousands of pages of philosophy.
Thanks. That got rid of some phlegm. **THOUSANDS** of pages you say. Wow. That must be like... **at least** a half a dozen books. :D
We'll continue the conversation when you understand how asinine your earlier garbage is. If you weren't an egoistical teenager who's all about what other's perceive for them to have read and done and actually put import on *understanding* the things people say to you, you would at least skim what the Leviathan is about so you'd know what point I was making. But the fact you're incapable of even understanding that means that I'm simply not interested in anything you have to say as you have zero intellectual curiosity. That sort of youthful egoism is fine, as long as it's driven by actual intellect.
Yours isn't.
Your previous comment. It looks a bit like how ridiculous it looks to you to now look illustrations of what people in the late 19th century thought the 21st century would look like. Firemen with flappy wings and whatnot. It's utterly ridiculous because you know that would be the absolute worst way to go about flying. Either the wings would have to be absolutely massive or go really fast and still they'd be much worse than most other options we have for personal flying we can already achieve, like the jetpacks. The reason I'm saying this is **that** is what it looks like to me when reading your "arguments". I can see how someone ignorant of political theory might formulate a naive theory like that, but the theory itself is utterly ridiculous and wouldn't work because of facts you do not seem to know.
If you have even the tiniest bit of intellectual curiosity, you'll look up what the Leviathan is about (while remembering to distinguish between an author and an idea) and then you'll see why your earlier assertions are laughably naive.

Yeah because it's childish strawman. Of course it's not the same to have to spend a day in a drunk tank because you lost control and were kicking off mirrors from cars as it is to be **marched into a gaschamber**.
That's false equivalency.
Also, if you had **ever** picked up a single philosophy book, you'd know how much positive and negative freedoms and the right of the government to impose those on others is actually discussed. It's like **>95%** of what philosophy has been going on about for the 1000 years.
>Getting rid of heil Hitler hand gestures in public might prevent the public proliferation of “signs” of fascism, the actual causes of it are institutional and function in cooperation with systems of institutional racism,
Not really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue
>In other words, we have fascism because we have prisons.
Fucking roflmao, literally. Well I didn't drop to the floor but I did roll around giggling a bit on my chair. I would suggest reading "Leviathan" from Hobbes, but since I know you won't, here's a video sort of summarising Hobbes' thoughts, by a professional philosopher called Alain de Botton and his channel "School of Life" [POLITICAL THEORY - Thomas Hobbes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i4jb5XBX5s)

Yeah, but most of the people I imagine pulling a Nazi salute "as a joke like Elon (were so hilarious haha look at those [insertracialslur])" might be deterred from pulling their shitty "joke" if it actually means prison time **automatically**. It doesn't matter if it's just like a week. Try explaining to an employer why you didn't attend the important meeting you had because you sat in jail for a week for a fascist "joke".
