"Awesome shot, the colors, the blur, everything. And the goodest of boyees!",
"I miss film. The darkroom was such a joy and a part of the process that I miss the most. Also only having 24 or 36 shots meant you took your time with composition. Now I just smash the shutter as many times as I like in the knowledge that least one of them will be good.",
"You can still shoot film. I'm an avid photographer and I shoot almost exclusively film including for jobs and portrait sessions as well as my own projects. This passion has led me down a rabbit hole of exploring the entirety of humanity's endeavors in analog photography. I have started a camera repair side business, a film scanning side business, a camera reselling side business all because I won't let the dream die. And this is in shitty post-communist Poland. If I can do it, so can you. One of the things that amuses me the most is that people notice the lack of chimping. I will shoot and shoot and shoot and finish rolls of film without a thought as to how the pictures, let's say, actually came out. It's a completely different mental workflow. Even on the odd occasion that I shoot digital with my old-ass Nikon D70, I will not chimp. There's something liberating about that and confident. Cheers.",

"Art styles aren't like music styles in the sense that almost every musical style has a genre it can be put into.\n\nWhile there are some broad, sweeping art styles (things like impressionism or something a bit more specific like Russian academic drawing)...most of the time an art style is simply the way someone has learned to paint or draw. Typically it's a very individual thing. For example.. You could look up the style of semi-realism or stylized realism, and you wouldn't get very consistent looks because, again, an artist's style is more of their own thing rather than adhering to a specific pre-defined way of drawing or painting. You could find anyone from [Sakimichan](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/005/683/369/large/sakimi-chan-sister.jpg?1492993399) to [Sinix (possibly nsfw?)](https://img00.deviantart.net/97c0/i/2017/202/e/6/___75_by_sinix-dbh7pnd.png). As you can see..they both have very different styles..even though they're both doing semi-real/stylized realism work. The reason is because, typically, the \"styles\" or genres of art are really big umbrellas that many, very different, personal styles can fit under. So as you can see..finding a large group of people who like to paint in one particular style isn't going to be that easy unless, again, they've dedicated themselves to a very well historically established style or are basically copying each other (which is typically frowned upon in the art community so it even further complicates finding many artists with a specific style).\n\nThink about it like this. There's an artist Christian Scott who plays trumpet and is a jazz musician. But you'd be unsuccessful in answering the question \"Is there a name for this style? I really like the way he plays.\". The best you could do is say he's modern jazz. But that's a huge umbrella. Robert Glasper and Pat Metheny are also modern jazz....but they sound NOTHING like each other or like Christian Scott. So saying \"modern jazz\" isn't necessarily going to lead to more music that sounds like Christian Scott. That's why when you talk to people about music you won't hear someone say \"If you like Scott..you should check out modern jazz!\" Instead you'll hear \"If you like Scott..you should check out X/Y/Z artists as well!\"\n\nSo instead of asking for a \"style\" or \"genre\", I'd ask op who their influences or inspirations are. Or ask others for names of artists that paint in a similar way. That will yield more satisfying results for you, I believe. :)\n\nHope that's informative! I know it doesn't give you a \"real\" answer to your question...but it at least let's you know the reality of it! :)\n\n",

There are some other things like flotrol to extend the dry time and/or you can use something like acrylic clear coat to get that transparency in layers.\n\nIf you have any texture, and you thin with water, you can end up with pigments settling into the recesses.

The next day we went to the doctor and got x-rays. \n\nI'll never forget sitting there with my mom near where the x-rays printed out and we saw what printed out even before my doctor both she and I we're in shock. For the next couple weeks we shopped for different surgeons. Some surgeons wanted to go in from the front. Some surgeons wanted to do multiple incisions. Finally we ended up at the Mayo Clinic and found my amazing surgeon. He said he could get it all done in one Fell Swoop and boy did he! It was an 11 and a half hour surgery and he saved my life.\n\nNeedless to say my school very quickly changed how they detected scoliosis. Frankly I'm one of the lucky ones. My growth bones were closed and I was at the perfect age and health to be able to pull off this amazing surgery... Let alone the amazing Doctors that perform their magic!\n\nWhat a lot of people don't know is that many times if your spine curves like you see in the X-ray, many times it starts twisting as well. Mine was so dramatic that one of my lungs is about quarter smaller than the other because it had to adjust to the small amount of space that I had. My heart was also being smashed and my heart rate at resting was on average 140. I couldn't walk down the aisles of Wal-Mart without getting short breath and tired. \n\nI went from totally being fine to terrible condition in less than a year, but I was a little bit more extreme case of fast development!!\n\nI hope any of that made sense!",
"It is too far into my body for anything to be detected, haha. That was a concern of mine going into this as well! ",
"That's why I was confused in middle or high school(can't remember which one) they checked the girls for it. I was baffled that it could go unnoticed. But I guess not a lot of people are paying attention to seemingly healthy peoples spines.",
"That all made plenty of sense, thank you for the insight! I'm glad to hear youve made a full recovery!",
"There are varying degrees of severity, and sometimes it doesn’t show up until your late teens I think",
"eat a bowl of oatmeal.",
"My daughter had the same surgery 3 yrs ago and it took 4.5 hours. Apparently they have learned a lot in the previous 16 yrs to do it so much faster.",
"I almost had to have that, but it was less severe. Got a back brace instead, worked pretty well",
"Modern medicine is awesome! Happy for you!",
"Some take longer than 11.5 hours. Depends on the specifics of the patient.",
"I have two daughters that had this surgery. I can confirm:. It's poop :)",
"Dextrocardia as well? Neat! ",
"My daughter just had this surgery over the summer. She was 12. It was an 8 hour surgery. 2 rods and 22 screws. Her scoliosis was very severe. She's doing great now. Wish you the best! Have you had any issues since ?? ",
"> I can bed fine. I just have to rely on my hips and legs a lot more.\n\nCongrats! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)",
"Yeah, I'm sure all cases are different. All I know is my daughter had what doctor called double scoliosis (double major curve) which is a common pattern with idiopathic scoliosis. Her curves were 54 deg. Surgeon told us she would install rods, hardware and bone graphs and would take max 6 hrs with no complications Things went well, yet it was the longest 4.5-5 hrs of my wife and my lives.",
"Didn’t think this shit out did they? /s",
"That's gas inside loops of bowel. ",
"Glad I scrolled all the way down before posting this same response.\n",
"either that or they were put onto the light box backwards. Or maybe thats on purpose, and how the surgeons plan their surgeries. I donno. They don't look like digital films, which is frankly odd for this day and age. ",
"Diaphragm on the right looks more elevated than the left which could mean a normal position of the liver. If that’s the case, the film is less likely to be backwards. But who knows!? ",
"gastric air bubble on the right too, so it would be situs inversus totalis for shizzle, which is def more common than dextroversion or solitary dextrocardia.",
"Yeah. Totally missed that. Well spotted!",
"Are you sure it's not because you have non-magnetic surgical titanium? That's what they used for mine. ",
"wouldnt have even been looking had you not first noticed the dextrocardia. ",
"Would you mind sharing the name of the doctor that performed your surgery...just curious if he was the same surgeon i was seeing before opting to not go through with surgery",
"Exactly. My scoliosis surgery was planned to be approximately 6 hours but turned into a 13 hour surgery with complications. ",
"Wait, are the metal rods still there? Is it permanent? Do you feel them? Does it ever hurt? ",
"I had this surgery as well, at 17, after being diagnosed at 14, scary but worth it.",
">Very little; I have to rely more on my hips and legs.\n\nOh, so are your activities limited, like sports and such? Glad you're not in terrible pain anymore :) ",
"And this time in English? For the spectators. ",
"This person looks to have a heart and stomach on the right side, which suggests that all her organs are mirror images of a normal person. Either that or the image is backwards. This is opposed to having a heart on the right and a liver on the right, which is abnormal at any angle and pretty much rules out the image being backwards. But who knows, these films are terrible quality. ",
"Groove spine syndrome ",
"I was beginning to think you guys were amazing for being able to see all of that out of those blurs and blobs until that last sentence 😆",
"is your name dee?",
"That's fantastic! I hope she's doing great!",
"Good to hear. I was past the point of being able to use the brace, and it was collapsing on my lugs and heart, so I needed to do something much quicker! ",
"That's so awesome to hear! I'm glad to hear she's doing well :)\n\nI've have 0 issues. It's just who I am now! I don't remember feeling any other way. Your daughter will be to talk of the school with her nice posture ;)",
"Oh, lord. Glad the lungs and heart are OK. (And, by extension, the rest of you.)",
"Gal dangit! xD ",
"It's probably a combo. Mine is surgical steel, and actually covered in a layer of bone that was placed on top, so that my spine would think \"oh no, broken bone\" and fuse together!",
"Dr. William J. Shaughnessy, MD. I owe that man my life. I believe he works specifically with children. I might be wrong though!",
"You don't remember existence before you were 12 years old?",
"Still there, forever! Nope, don't feel a thing. They have been fused with my spine, and bone has encased them. Other than the obvious pain from the surgery, I've never had pain!",
"It's super scary. I'm glad you were able to get it fixed! Life is much better after!",
"No limitations at all! The only thing is for me, I tend to stray away from activities that put my neck in risk. Because my spine can't flex and take impact as much, my neck takes a bigger blow. For example, i'm WAY more likely to die in a car bad car accident. But you can't live life in fear! Only make smart decisions! ",
"Far out",
"It is not. I assume you know someone who went through this as well?",
"We probably had similar procedures but yours was like, your whole spine lol. Think those are called bone grafts where they put bone from a doner cadaver over the cut vertebrae to fuse them together.",
"Haha, not like THAT. But I don't remember me NOT having the rods!",
"Much! I had pain as well, and it was never found in screenings at school. I did take my x-rays to the hospital for both of my epidurals, the anesthesiologists actually really ended up needing them. Glad it's helped you as much as it did me! ",
"Not only was my spine curved, but it was turning as well. It shifted my heart and lungs. My resting heart rate (left) was about 120-140. I couldn't go to the grocery store without being short of breath and getting tired.",
"I was my own donor! He snapped all the spiky parts off my spine (yeah I know, super scientific) and extended my incision lower, and shaved parts of my hip bone off, and used that!",
"i take it youre not a sunny in Philadelphia fan",
"D: Does that mean your head could pop of your body??",
"Wow, that's pretty crazy! They were considering doing that with me but said it would just be easier to get one from a cadaver. Pretty crazy to think they already had that option 12 years ago. \n\nYou don't suffer from any pain associated with the surgery or spine? What about when it gets cold? I only have a one level fusion and feel like the tin man when it gets cold.",
"Hope you are recovering well. I go to Mayo for my primary care. Best doctors ever. You are in good hands.",
"Ohhh I get it now, hah",
"Yeesh but that's so good to hear! ",
"Any photos of what you used to look like when you tried to stand up? Or were you bed ridden? How does a bent out spine like that actually work anyway...",
"Do they fix it all in one surgery or do they do that over time? Must have taken months to recover.",
"No, pain! And I live in Minnesota, so it's been stress tested in the cold for to years.. no issues! Haha",
"Just curious, you said you had this done at 12. Which means you were still going through puberty, what's it like to have a growth spurt with a steel spine? Part of me feels like it could've been very painful but the other part of me thinks due to your perfect posture it helped transform you into a very tall lad. ",
"One giant surgery! And yes, I had to re-learn how to walk! Many months, but all ended well :)",
"Spine surgeons flip over the x rays so they have the same view when they operate on the back. ",
"Is the main problem is your neck can flex and move with impact but your spine can't. \n\nIf so, your spine is kinda like a shoulder. ",
"That's really good for you.. Quite fortunate I think as most people I know with fusions suffer from some kind of back pain. \n\nThanks for being so kind and enlightening me. A last question if I may. Did the hardware adjust to your spine/skeleton growing over time? I imagine you still had some growing to do at 12.",
"You are the perfect under water photographer. Don’t need a weighted vest. 😃",
"How much mayo did they use?",
"Surgeons will often x-ray hips to check the growth plates to make sure they're not fusing someone who still has a lot of growing to do. My fusion was delayed for this reason ...and I always state my height to the quarter inch, because I went through a lot for that extra 3/4\".",
"Very interesting thanks for answering my question man. I just keep thinking one summer I grew like five inches, and I keep imagining what it would've been like for you to grow five inches with metal rods fused to your spine. ",
"I'll be at 10 years this July! I used to joke as a kid about having a boy side and a girl side but we didn't realize what it was until I broke my back doing gymnastics. My curve stayed around 20 degrees until I hit puberty (hooray late bloomer). It rocketed? snaked? to 54 degrees within 18 months. I only have 10 thoracic vertebrae fused, my surgeon didn't want to risk the potential negatives of fusing through a break that likes to slip around. I still have slight scoliosis in my lower back but the pain is far less than it was... but I swear there's one screw at the apex of my curve that catches on my ligaments or something sometimes. I'm glad this isn't the case for you! What's your scar look like?",
"I don't have photos actually. My shoulder was super dropped and hips way off. I could move, but limited. I was in pain for a few months leading up to the surgery. It was only detected less than 6 months before surgery. It came on super quick and got worse rapidly. If I didn't get the surgery done, I would have been dead within a couple years because it was collapsing in on my lungs and heart!",
"Haha, maybe a new career for me?!",
"I was 12, but I was big for 12. My growth plates had fully closed by than and I didn't have to worry about growing more. I was really lucky with that! ",
"Oh, I've not watched much of it at all, sorry! Reference went over my head.",
"As you already read, yes my growth plates were closed. I was very tall for my age and so I was lucky with timing! ",
"Yikes!! That sounds nuts! I'm sorry all that happened :(\n\nIt's amazing how fast it can come on too. My scar looks great. It's epicly long! haha. From the base of my neck to the top of my butt crack! I'll try to find a photo :) ",
"This guy gets it!",
"Well thanks for answering my question dude, glad everything worked out. ",
"That's awesome! I'm glad you're you're doing good now :) Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! ",
"Ok I have scoliosis and if it wasn't for pains I wouldn't consider surgery because I can bend and do almost anything. Now my question is if I get surgery my pains will go away but ill lose flexibility? ",
"Good question! You will not totally lose flexibility, but it will be greatly reduced. The rods do bend some, and you're body will learn to use your waist and neck more. So, you'll probably won't be an Olympic gymnast, but you're not going to be a sign post either :) you'll be shocked how quickly you get used to it! "

"That's all I can think when I saw her talk about a 2020 run. Trump wasn't a good solution and Oprah isn't an improvement. We need a real career politician to run in 2020 that knows what they're doing and isn't trying to skate on name recognition. ",
"> that knows what ~~their~~ they're doing\n\nFTFY",
"*You get funding, you get funding, everybody gets funding!!!*\n\nDebt rises to 12 digits.",
"Gross. The more I look at it, the more off-putting it is.",
"I mean, you started it. If Donald trump secured the poor white vote, oprah can secure the poor black vote.",
"I'm a liberal and I think it's a terrible idea. ",

When the same people or families hold a district for decades, like the Dingells. Can you expect anything different than the same? ",
"you realize trump is increasing the deficit by 5 trillion within 5 years right? \n\nthe perception that right wing politics balance budgets is just completely false. the last president to actually balance the budget was clinton. ",
"What did I start?\n\nPersonally I have no problem with Oprah or anyone else running for PotUS who fills the constitutional requirements. I tend to think that career bureaucrats on average make pretty shitty executives.\n\nI'm just pointing out the latest political hypocrisy. Lefty pundits spent all of 2016 telling us that Trump was unqualified to be president because he had no experience in elected office, and his business and media experience were worthless. Anyone who endorsed that view and now enthusiastically supports Oprah has revealed themselves as a hypocritical, opportunistic liar, and their opinions on pretty much everything should be ignored by reasonable people.",
"I did not mean my comment to sound like I’m a trump fan, republican or conservative. I just wanted to poke fun with an Oprah meme.",
"If you find someone that isn't corruptible. I'll eat my own shit.",

"Do you really think Oprah hasn't been bought already? She's sold herself as much as Trump, she has corporate ties that have her already tied to them. The only difference is we call them endorsement deals and they are completely legal for private citizens. Or do you think she really picked books for her book club based off of the actual book?",

"The first link says, \"Oprah, don't do it.\" Soooooo again I don't think anybody wants this.",
"While I agree with that sentiment, I think the way the money is handled is another matter.\n\nJust like with charities supposedly fighting for cancer and yet small percentages of their annual donations actually go towards research.\n\nI don’t remember which breast cancer foundation was reported to only invest about 30% of their total annual donations to actual research. So don’t take my word entirely because I may be remembering incorrectly and it might even be a different charity for another disease.",

"oh, no cancer charities are notoriously bad for that, some of them actually give way less than 30%. \n\nalso you might not know this, but the american debt is already in the trillions, which is to say, it's already 13 digits. ",

"Still has all the ol' trophies from high school up on the shelf. Good to see. (Unless they are from car shows)",
"How many were there in between?",
"Just these 2!",
"This is almost always the case with Corvettes. Owners are the most diehard and when financially comfortable, will only sell a corvette when buying a new one...\n\nSource: my uncle and everyone who lives near him in Florida.",
"Mostly car shows - but there may be some high school trophies up there",
"That’s a garage full of sexy. Especially love that ‘63. ",
"I agree, both are good in their own way but you can't deny the charm of classics.",
"Honestly the new corvettes look like some kid designed them to sell more hot wheels. I fucking hate it. No style, no class, no sex. Just ugly hard body edges and solid lines. All grunt noises no James Bond.\n\nTLDR: the new vetts look cheap. Super cheap. ",
"I see what you're getting at, but personally I think the new generation of corvettes are the most beautiful i've seen since the 70s.",

"Oy vey. The new vette looks like a bunch of bros got in a room, had many, many meetings, then after 4 years gave the engineering team a drawing and said, “make us this, nerds. You have 5 months.”",
"Why is there no plate on the 63? I’m hoping it’s being stored for the winter vs he doesn’t drive it. Poor girl.",

"It seems like it's a snobbery thing. I can play a little, and have a couple of cheap guitars - they don't sound great because I don't play them great,\n\nMost of the tone comes from the strings, obviously. from there it is down to how much of the vibration is absorbed by the guitar. The bridge and the neck will have WAY more effect than the body material/shape. Also, an electric guitar's tone is massively effected by the pickups and obviously the amplifier. Once effects are added into the mix it seems pretty obvious that you won't hear a difference between a cheap body and an expensive one (assuming of course everything else is the same for both guitars).\n\n However, if you are spending money on precision engineered parts, it makes sense to have the guitar look nice, hence the use of exotic woods. I guess it also makes some sense that the wood is durable enough to not warp under tension and is durable enough to take some knocks while gigging, but it makes no noticeable difference to the tone.",

I apologise if anything I say irritates. 0.8 degrees in a hundred years sounds petty but this is because of the way you put it. The reality behind that number is that, only recently have the numbers began to rise.

Just an ever more infinitesimally small fraction of a degree closer to zero.\nDon't worry the world was only alerted to this fact a few years ago, virtually nobody, certainly not politicians or geologists or biologists or even meteorologists knew....but one of the scientists at East Anglia knew, he put it into the simulation that gave us the Hoax.",

"Interesting fact: The imposing building on the top of the picture was a castle (Château Frontenac), nowadays it’s an hotel. The buildings down the cliff are a part of a neighbourhood called “Petit Champlain” (Little Champlain), tribute to Samuel de Champlain, founder of Québec City, back 1608 (Oldest city in NA). The cobblestone wall down the castle is a barrier called “Les Remparts de Québec”, it surrounds the old part of the city, we can only access the Old Québec trough the ancient fortified doors, there are about 10 all around the city, on the other side of the cliff named “Cap Diamant”.",

He drove us everywhere, translated when needed, etc. We did all the touristy things on our own and didn't have any big issues. The locals would recognize us quickly as Americans, so they would try to get us to buy stuff and some would bug the shit out of us. Two things worked in our favor: 1) I had a couple of years of sign language under my belt so if people came up to us, I would just sign to my dad and they would wander away. 2) My dad looks and has the personality of Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was very obvious when he was growing tired of people bothering us. He would let it be known and they wouldn't bother us again. The majority of the badgering took place at the pyramids. Any other time we had Ali (our handler) with us and the locals just kept to themselves.\n\nI never felt unsafe there, and it was really a sight to be seen. I would go again in a heartbeat! \n\nEdited to add: We went to the Egyptian Military Museum and when we were waiting on Ali to pick us up, a group of like 15 kids, around 8-10 years old, walked past and flipped out to see a white woman.

Going tourist site to tourist site was moving between security checkpoints, but that comes with the territory when you're visiting historic monuments sometimes, and once you're just inside the temples it's amazing what you can walk around and discover.\n\nTourism is big business, so expect a lot of people trying to sell you stuff, even in temple grounds & tombs there are plenty of guys who point stuff out to you in exchange for tips.\n\nAll in all, I definitely would reccomend a visit.

"I was there since the Arab Spring. It's certainly a doable trip, but definitely read up on the common scams so you know what to look out for. It also helps immensely to know just a few words of Arabic: \"la, shukran\" means \"no thanks\" and help to get some of the vendors to back off a bit vs. speaking English to them. In general, the more touristy the area the more you will be hassled. \n\nTaxi drivers will refuse to run the meter and instead want to charge you a highly inflated flat rate. I was not successful in arguing against this, but the exchange rate is very favorable so even when you get ripped off, it doesn't hurt that bad. Uber for me ended up being the least hassle option for transport.\n\nTourist sites often charge an inflated rate for foreigners versus locals, however again with the exchange rate and general low cost of things it's not a big deal.\n\nIt will help to lean their numeral system, as store prices and other numbers (including license plates if you use Uber) may be written in this format:\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals",

"Treated extremely well. We were told ahead of time that Egyptians were very friendly and the locals didn't disappoint. My biggest issue was air quality (got pretty sick while there) and the subway station was always way overcrowded during times when we needed to take it. Other than that, highly recommend. ",
"That's a bit extreme, regarding \"never go if you're a woman.\" I'm a woman in my early twenties and was there over Thanksgiving. I went with my boyfriend, so I wasn't alone, but harassment was quite minimal. I never felt afraid, although the male attention in Alexandria got REALLY annoying - a couple groups of young men followed us wanting pictures with me. I didn't get any dangerous vibes from them, though - like I said, just annoying. I would be been worried if I didn't have someone else with me, but it was fine as it was. There would have been more I'm sure if he weren't with me.\n\nAlexandria was the only place I experienced that kind of harassment, largely because it's a bit less touristy and also fairly poor. Luxor, Aswan, Cairo, and Giza were all fine. I went out alone a couple times in Giza and honestly felt really safe. Everyone there was respectful and friendly, probably because tourist. \n\nAlso, I highly recommend a little hole in the wall near the Sphinx Plaza across from the pizza hut called 3 Chefs 5 Stars (I'm sure it had a real Egyptian name, but that was the only English on the sign). They had THE BEST hummus of our entire trip, including hummus we had in Lebanon. The street tables are great for smoking some hookah and people watching. Really chill and safe, even if it looks rough. If you stay in a Giza hotel don't get conned into buying food from the hotel - there are way better options all over there, and people are great at figuring out what you want when you point and ask \"Kum?\"<koom> (How much)\n\nEgypt is fine if you're a woman. I'd recommend bringing a man with you, but even if you don't, Luxor, Aswan, and Giza would still be fine. I'd avoid Alexandria without a man with you, and generally don't be stupid in the other cities either.",

"I'm from the US, and I've visited Cairo a number of times. My visits were during the revolution a few years back, so I had to avoid Tahir Square, which is one of the main areas in Cairo, due to high risk of bombs, stabbings, etc. I saw two car bombs go off from a distance during my stays and was yelled at by a young boy in a mosque for wearing tightly fitted pants (not leggings!); but otherwise, I left completely unscathed. I always felt safe because I had a local guide/translator who knew what areas to avoid at the time. I recommend hiring a guide solely due to the language barrier as few locals speak fluent English, and I'm sure that I would have been lost without him. Tourism has dwindled in Cairo since the revolution began, so prices have dropped for many tourism services in hopes of attracting visitors.

Getting a cab in Egypt is like making a deal with the devil: you get what you want but literally. My friends and I got a cab after a long day of sight seeing in Cairo back to our air bnb. We gave him the address but he didn’t know where it was at, so we told him it was across the street from this Israeli war muesum or something. And goes, “oh the museum?” And we’re like “yes! Please!” So he takes to the meusum which is on the busiest street known to man, so we ask him to make a u-turn at the intersection and drop us off in front of the place we were staying at. We thank him and pay him the agreed upon price and get out. He then starts yelling at us saying that that price was to take us to the museum and that since he drove us across the street instead and didn’t drop us off at the museum he is charging us more. We were absolutely furious and argued with him for a while, but in the end we just paid him the extra Egyptian Pounds so we can get rid of him and go relax. Every cab we took was like this and it became increasingly annoying. So again, please don’t go.",

"I said that the people from ancient Egypt are not the same as the people from modern day Egypt. The 7th century to Northern Africa is known as the Arab invasion. They came with the Arabic language, customs, and the Muslim religion. \n\nThis is why when I see present day Egyptians being proud of the pyramids, it’s makes me laugh because they didn’t do anything except help destroy them. Now-a-days they protect them only because it bring tourists and money into the country, otherwise they wouldn’t give a shit and would rip down the stones to build anything else.\n\nI’m sorry if I’m not PG enough, but I like to be very straight forward and don’t care for people being “offended” now-a-days.\n\nEdit: yes I can blame the people there for trying to make money off tourists. If I had a pleasant time and met genuinely nice people I would be recommending everyone I know to go and visit. But since I had such a bad experience from trying to be ripped off at every moment of my trip there, I will never advise anybody to ever go there. So in the end they are just shooting themselves in the foot. Pretty much everyone I know personally who has visited, shares the same experience as me about Ciara and Egypt. \n\nI feel Peru is a much poorer country and when I was there I felt so much less hassled and less like I was being taken advantage of. Would recommend Peru over Egypt a thousand times. Like-wise for Cuba. Country is poor as fuck, but the locals treat you so well and don’t try to fuck you over.",

I personally think you should avoid Naama Bay, it's like a tourist trap city outside of Sharm - WAY too many people heckling you to buy things there, like far beyond what I found to be par for the course.\n\nMost civilian people at the different tourist sites were very welcoming. Many assumed we were German/Russian at first, but we didn't hide that we were from America to the people we interacted with. Security guards, military guys, and police at check points - didn't interact with them much directly. Our drivers/guides would usually do the talking.

"> have a guy with you at all times\n\nEspecially while you're new to a place, it's so important to not look like a vulnerable single tourist and get overwhelmed. I was in a group of travel savvy ladies and that was fine, we stuck together. Although to the credit of the Egyptians there, even when I went out alone (pretty stupid) I never felt endangered.\n\n\nJust keep in mind, if you're used to traveling alone as a female in the US or whatever, it will be 100x more trying, exasperating, and troublesome in Egypt. I don't think crime against tourists is very high generally, it's the other stuff that's so much harder when alone: You will have to say \"No\" a thousand times a day to people trying to sell you stuff, a boat ride, a horse ride, you name it; and sometimes they get aggressive to make you spend money. Shopkeepers will yell \"Hey beautiful\" or \"you dropped your wallet\", anything to make you stop walking and look at their store. You will have to act like the man approaching you with trinkets literally doesn't exist, because if you acknowledge him he will make a beeline for you (this was very hard for me, my inclination is to smile at people). And if you DO want to buy something, be prepared for haggling. It's way easier to bargain, ignore or brush off people if you're with someone. \n\n\nOn top of that, plenty of men will ogle you, catcall you flirt with you and try to get you to meet them later. I was very careful to stay in public spaces and away from back alleys, but it's flatly impossible to stay in populated public spaces 100% of the time. Sometimes you take a turn and suddenly you're on a small street, the crowds are gone and there's one guy that you hope and pray is a good person because he could kidnap you and no one would see it. At one point I was walking down a long empty sidestreet to a museum, no one around, and then a group of 15 young men rounded the corner and started whistling at me. I nearly shit a brick.\n\n\n... Now throw all that together with being disoriented, trying to read a map and the street signs, and you can see why it's better to go with someone else. The flirting especially will be less aggressive if you're with a guy or at least another girl. I wish I had traveled the entire time with other people, because having to fend for myself made me very hard hearted and suspicious. Even when I met someone who was genuinely friendly. I couldn't relax, I was constantly on the alert for the next intruder into my personal space. By the end I almost felt like a caged wild animal, if a man so much as looked in my direction I was instantly in defense mode.\n\n\nLastly, only go if you can go in winter!",

You don't need to pay to visit your taxi driver's friend's \"papyrus museum\" (a shop selling replica papyri. You probably will end up having to pay for the \"long camel ride\" even if you only requested the short one. Ultimately you kind of have to view tips/baksheesh/overcharging as a kind of tax.

I say do it but definitely try to find a tour guide if you can , compared to everything else the price for one was kind of expensive but in our three days we went to the museum , the pyramids , and a small boat cruise on the Nile , seen the great mosque , synagogue , and the church in the citadel .We had a driver pick us up and take us everywhere so I’d say it was worth the cost . Truthfully I think the museum was worth it alone but I feel like Egypt is isn’t one of those places where you say ‘I can’t wait to go again ‘ it’s beautiful with all its history but don’t go there thinking Cairo is some gorgeous city .",

Their general lack of coordination and the indecisive command of Jelicoe who was slow to order engagement, hampered their efforts. Nowhere more than at Jutland, where poor communication, Jellicoe's hesitancy and poor sailing tactics on Beatty's part turned an engagement where by all rights the German fleet should have been utterly destroyed into an inconclusive engagement. They had every advantage, including a complete copy of the enemy's codebooks, and still couldn't seal the high fleet's fate.\n\n\nThen you have the small engagements, where the British performed quite poorly, losing ships without inflicting any losses at Dover Strait, inconclusive engagements at Yarmouth, and the costly failure to acheive any of their objectives at Zeebrugge. and likewise at Ostend, which failed twice.",

"This brings back memories. 30 years ago I lived overseas with my family, not military so we didn’t get any good TV besides British MTV and a weak signal of AFN. Grandma was our cloud DVR. She would record and organize shows for my Mom and mail them over on VHS tapes. I think she must have even learned to set it on ELP or whatever it was that made VHS tapes able to fit hours of content. She did not know how to record one thing while watching another, so we mostly got Matlock and Murder She Wrote and occasionally some notable news and events, but she cared and it took a lot of time and effort and it couldn’t have been cheap with those giant VHS cartridges.",

"I see where you're coming from, but look at it this way:\n\nTake a look at Reddit. I mean really look at it, and compare it with other modern sites. See the difference? Reddit essentially has the style of an early-2000s website with the functionality of a 1990s forum. Now look at something like Facebook, and imagine you have no idea what any of it is - do you think it'd be easy for you to figure out? You have no problem with it because you have prior knowledge of other sites to know how a lot of things work. But what if you were older, got in late on the whole internet thing, and the only site you ever used regularly was Reddit? And then you try to use Facebook, now? You'd feel like Marty McFly arriving in 2015. Facebook is notorious for its constant evolution, with changes occurring on a regular basis - it's one of those things where you kinda had to be around a while and see these changes as they come, because otherwise, the difference between modern Facebook and a basic old-fashioned forum site like Reddit would be understandably overwhelming. Even I look at Facebook and go \"What the hell's all this?\" when I'm away for a couple of months. I can't say I blame /u/AuntFantastic for not liking Facebook and not wanting to use it, especially if she has limited experience with other modern websites.",
"I clicked on the link.\n\n...\n\nI felt kinda let down.",
"Welp. I’m actually not white. He’s not homophobic or racist. What Trump said about the grabbing was strictly locker room talk. And let me point out, IT WAS NOT LITTLE GIRLS. But there are actual people out there being sexually abused, maybe you should focus on that. He’s not destroying poor peoples lives, more people have jobs now than 13 years ago. He’s making a positive change. Let’s focus on his policies!! ",
"Can we go ahead and get r/pics filtered already?",
"Try doing a question and answer type video for an upcoming celebration. Let's say..... someone's having a baby or getting married, ask her what advice she would give. Then add some other questions into the conversation. Or tell her you have to write a paper for school and go from there. You'd need to record her so you can replay later when you write your paper. ",
"Going to try now will update with results..",
"Ok so update I put my email in it came up with 5 results one being from a damn cloud pets toy I got for my son weirdly enough lol. But it just shows where maybe my account could have been breached I don't see any option to try and fix or recover it. ",
"I love this. I miss my grandma.",
"My grandmother wrote the exact same way. The capitalized the most random letters. I really liked seeing that :-)",
"I think you misunderstand.. she didn't delete a email... she deleted my whole damn account lol",
"Read my other comments about this subject.",
"She did.",
"Sounds dumb and stubborn...",
"Aw yea im.very sorry to hear that that's terrible",
"Thank you very much kind sir much appreciated... ",
"Yeah, she didn't delete the account that sent the photos to you did she? \n\nOr do you mean you just uploaded them there to save them.",
"They were my photos backed up on my gmail account from across about a 10 year span... she deleted said gmail account.. ",
"If you believe this, congrats you're retarded.",
"Well, we considered that at the time. But you are also taking for granted the ease of access so today's technology. Like, the people who are saying \"I got my grandma an iPad\" doesn't account for the fact that those didn't exist when she died. iPhones barely existed when she died. She would have had to learn the windows os etc... which was doable, but not really her thing. \n\nWhen we got her a cell phone for emergencies she didn't know how to hold it. A flip phone mind you. She held it up like a microphone, or a better comparison might be a walkie talkie. She didn't understand that it's a phone, and functions like a phone. \n\nSo at the end of the day, I think a lot of comments along these lines are by people who's grandparents are in their 70s today. Yeah, my parents are almost 80 and they rock social media more than I do. I get that.\n\nThe point of my story was, 1) That I used to mail and call my grandma and 2) You should do something like that too. If your grandma is on Facebook then great. Did you talk to her this week? And 3) while mail is outdated, it's actually fun to get mail and feels more meaningful than a whatsapp or text message. \n",
"Oh, then I did misunderstand. I thought the data was in a received e-mail. That's terrible. There are people in my life that if they died I'm afraid I may feel some happiness and I don't wish that on them. That's just so messed up on so many levels. ",
"My grandma likes every second post I put up on Facebook, just so I know she’s watching, watching and judging. My cousins, however, can’t seem to figure this out.",
"No worries!",
"Thought so. Sorry, I don't follow US politics to the tee. Especially Trump LOL.",
">Sure, he might be a pedophile. That's okay, because he pushed them into a locker and raped them. That makes it locker room rape, which is okay. He's not a racist just because he hates black people. He's not a homophobe just because he assigns a VP that wants to force gays into electric therapy. He's not destroying poor peoples' lives just because he's robbing them of their health care and giving that money to the rich like some sort of reverse Robin Hood. \n\n>All this is so posisitve for me, cuz I'm white and wasn't born into poverty. Yay!\n\nI can only hope you change and decide to be an empathic decent human being rather than an intolerant bigot some time in the near future my friend :) Love>Hate!\n\nPeace ♥",

"Are you even living in America? I’m just curious. I’m not gonna passive aggressively insult you like you’re doing to me. However, I did read a comment about you being Swedish. Living in Sweden now or America? ",
"Mainly in Sweden but I live in Maryland on and off. I lived in USA for 6 months of last year. I have an american girlfriend and my child has an american citizenship. \n\nAnd don't worry, I'm not going to downvote you like you downvote me ;)",
"In all honestly I haven’t upvoted or downvoted anybody. I’ve just been reading the comments as they roll in. \n\nSo then of course you must know how Obamacare was forcing people to have healthcare even if they didn’t want it? And not allowing people to have healthcare from a state they don’t live in? Well Trump is trying to fix that. If Im forced to buy healthcare I don’t even need, let alone want, the extra tax is used for someone else who for some reason can’t afford healthcare at all. Well...that’s not really fair because I don’t want to be paying for something I don’t need. So, it was more beneficial to you what Obama was doing than what Trump is doing now? If so, focus on that, fine, but jumping on a bandwagon of hating him for being him instead of wanting him to continue improving this country. Also, I wouldn’t go around willy nilly assuming people are white just because they support Trump. \n\nCome on people. Don’t we want our president to be a good one? Stop hoping he does bad to support your hate. \n\nLastly, I think I’ve made my point so I don’t want to argue with you anymore, especially behind a screen. ",

"It's great. Personally I could not afford such high end shopping, but places like Shoppes at Marina Bay and Paragon are great for that sort of thing.

"OK. Let me break this down for you. On my insurance paperwork, it shows what the hospital/doctor asked the insurance company for, what the insurance company actually paid, and then what I paid. And the number that the insurance was originally billed wasn't anything like $18,000. I believe it was something like $1,500, insurance paid something a bit less than $1,000, and I paid around $120. I paid attention to this particular bill because I fully expected to pay $500-1,000 myself, and was surprised that it was so low. \n\nSo why does the hospital start with $18,000 with a private citizen when they start with a much lower number, which they know is then going to get negotiated down, with the insurance company?

I had never had an MRI done before, but I knew they were loud. I had earplugs and headphones over my ears and it was still quite audible. I would totally do it again, which I actually am. The researchers want me for 2 other fMRI studies. Overall, it was a cool experience and I look forward to doing it again.

"Let me tell you \"The American Dream\"...... It's a wonderful story if you've got a minute. \n\nI graduated High School in 2006 - the time when everyone - your teachers, your parents, your peers all hailed the wonderful advantages of college..... \"Go to college! get a job right out of school within your field - live the American Dream!\" \n\nAfter High School, I worked as a server in a fine dining establishment 50+ hours a week normally, without health insurance, retirement, any of that, but I did average about 35K$/Year. Life was good, but I knew I couldn't be a waiter forever. \n\nI decided at the age of 21 to go to college in 2009. I got my KINS / EXSCI (with a minor) degree in 3 years instead of 4, with hard work, while working a job as a bartender 30+ hours a week. I averaged 21 credit hours, 3 semesters a year (summer) and completed classes over winter breaks to fill the gaps. \n\nWhile I made enough money working at the bar to pay for my books, food, and bills, I still had to take out student loans for tuition, and my apartment. I didn't have insurance at the time, because my parents didn't have insurance (my dad is self employed). \n\nSo I graduate - happy as a clam, thinking \"I'll get a job, I'm a CPT, and did my 400 hour internship!\"\n\nYou want to know what I did for 1.5 years before finding a job as a health coach? Waited tables. Without insurance, and 70K$ of student debt over my head. I was laid off due to downsizing after 2 years as a health coach, at the age of 28.....\n\nI was waiting tables again. Putting in resume after resume after resume with no answers to follow up emails, no callbacks, a 4 year degree from a great school, and a baby with my wife. \n\nI had no insurance, and my wife's insurance through her job would put us out of our home if we chose to use it. The American Dream. \n\nI've since found a job in a field where my degree is COMPLETELY irrelevant, and in fact, I don't need a degree for. At all. I love my job - never imagined myself doing this type of work, but I work for one of the only company's IN MY NATION that pays 100% for health/dental/vision for my family. I'm finally making good money, and excelling at what I do. \n\nBetween my wife and I we have about 100K in student loans ALONE. We have a house as well (which I'm on the fence about considering this true debt, but's its our largest bill). With baby 2 on the way, we've already had to pay thousands just for routine baby checkups (and that's WITH my superb insurance) and our delivery will probably cost us a few more thousand. \n\nThe American Dream - work your ass off, and get ahead, maybe, but only if your are born into money and the cards are 100% in your favor. \n\nMy advice to anyone contemplating college out of high school? Trade School, be a plumber, electrician, truck driver, something that doesn't require you to go into a MASSIVE pile of debt to \"maybe\" get a job in a field you didn't study at all. \n\n\n\n",

Or do, but not really fair.",
"These kinds of healthcare costs should be criminal! The sad thing about this over inflated costs is that the actual doctors performing these lifesaving procedures make pennies on the dollar compared to what gets billed",
"Go get it done in some other country then. Oh wait, then you’ll die. ",
"Canadian here. I've had maybe four or five MRIs and my bill for each was $0\n\nWe pay higher taxes though, and our wages are often lower and our housing more expensive. We still have a middle class mostly because if you get sick it's not quite as easy to go broke",
"I got billed 56k for that. They said nothing was wrong. LPT never go to the hospital.",
"Couldn’t agree more. I just fear that battle is lost.",
"What I do know,is if I was charged,for every hospital visit.I would probably have not gone.So things wouldn't have been sorted early.Things would be a lot worse,or too late,by now.",
"We can only hope.It has been fine(ish),for years.Although,there are a lot of 'health tourists'now.It also has a lot more people to deal with.",
"I have insurance, hospital billed them $44,000 for a 30min outpatient procedure. My liability is $3000. Which is a lot to me. Can you still negotiate like that?",
"Maybe. Hospitals will do anything to recoup money. The only downside is if you need the 3k to meet the deductible. In that case, you can’t."
