I didn’t insult you, I pointed out your poor behaviour.
And I did ask you, about several different things, the most recent being about the tenets you claim to follow.
Why don’t you try again?

Nonsense. We are talking about things people do as a direct result of their beliefs, also known as outcomes. Bait and switching just makes you look even worse.
And accusing nearly all Christians of not doing it right is disingenuous, elitist and pitifully sad.
Perhaps instead of disgracing yourself further, you can tell us what these tenets are that so many go against?
Super long wall of text? You’re kidding, right? ಠಿ_ಠ
Look, I even put it in it’s own, separate paragraph
As to your question, the track record of those three religions to convincingly explain anything they claim to, is complete and utter failure. Every time.
So, to avoid any confusion before moving on, you didn’t even try to explain your reasoning for the criteria you set out. You didn’t offer any good evidence to justify those criteria, and you dodged replying by pretending it’s too difficult for you.
This isn’t a good look for you or those who share your beliefs.
And you’re really asking me to point out terrible things that have come about as a result of religion or been perpetuated through religious belief?
Off the top of my head -
Holy wars.
Witch trials.
Destruction of indigenous cultures.
Widespread misogyny.
Discrimination towards minorities.
Just to be clear, ignoring everything else I said doesn’t somehow make them irrelevant. In fact it does the opposite to any further opposition you may bring later.
Also, it’s kinda rude.

If they can offer any good evidence as answers to the subjects discussed in this post, I’ve yet to hear them. I’m open to being convinced and I try to adjust my beliefs accordingly when presented with good evidence contrary to my current knowledge.
But there’s been nothing so far.
Ah, I see. My apologies.
about where humans came from is a matter of faith.
If that’s your main point then you’re in a great position to examine your beliefs using tried and tested methods to know things.
Of course, you may have to adjust those beliefs to be in accordance with reality, which can be much more difficult. Should you accept this challenge that life has presented, your chosen subject of evolution has mountains of good evidence to study.
what makes the most logical sense, and is most consistent…what has the best track record with the best outcome.
This is interesting use of language that usually applies to the scientific method. I’ve often seen it used in attempts to legitimise religious reasoning, and sometimes it goes with assertions of “proper basic beliefs.”
You should be aware that these are just more modern methods of things like Pascal’s Wager, that are not meant to convince anyone except those who already believe.
All religion, at least those with god belief and certainly the Abrahamic three, contain no sensible logic, are completely inconsistent, have a terrible track record and very often horrible outcomes.
Why is that a problem?
Isn’t it a much bigger problem to invent an explanation and insist it’s correct, rather than just admitting we don’t know?
Me neither!
Was that the first version Nexus 7? I had the refreshed version and it was my favourite bit of tech ever. I ran it for about 5 years until the screen and battery both died. I loved that thing.
Manual is great to learn about what’s happening and why. Remember though, that once you have a good grasp of the technical aspects, you can then use that to make the camera do the work for you.
Canon cameras are particularly good at this, as they have a unique way of controlling the relationships between parts of those aspects. See the /v settings on the mode dial.
Once you have the camera doing stuff for you it starts to get out of the way and your mind becomes free of those distractions. Your photos will improve as a result.
As mentioned in other comments, you can use a more appropriate aperture here because f14 is too small and you’ll suffer from diffraction as a result.
The reason it’s a problem, is similar to when you squint your eyes. The light gets spread more than is ideal and the image will have reduced sharpness.
Ideally, you should try not to go beyond f11, as that’s usually where most lenses will start to become effected.
It’s worth noting that despite this, if you need a small aperture then don’t be afraid to use it. The reduction in sharpness won’t really notice until you get to larger print sizes, such as 1 x 1.5 metres.
Even then, it’s much better to have a great photo without ultimate sharpness, than a super sharp photo that’s boring or just bad. If you have the time, such as with non moving subjects, none of these things should happen. If your subject is moving, things get complicated quickly.
Sorry to go on a bit, I just wanted to bring some context and info to the subject of diffraction, as it’s an important one, but once you know the whys and wherefores it’s easy be aware of and incorporate into your workflow.
A friendly warning, please be careful when suggesting the rule of 3rds, especially to the less experienced. It’s greatly misunderstood and as a result it generally causes confusion and boring photos.
Please see the article in this Lemmy post, about this and composition generally.
Thanks.
No 0-60, you would die trying. Even 40 mi/h is over ambitious. Clearly, the 2CV was spawned by Satan to destroy our will to live. I see no other reason for that many sales.
There were so many better options that I can’t even grant you a nod in this direction.
Nil points, yellow card, etc.
If memory serves, I think at least some versions of the Allegro had reasonably comfy seats. I’m afraid that can’t be said of the 2CV.
Also, the use of a “double skin” body, dropped by almost every manufacturer a decade or so before the Allegro, is really just another amusing tidbit we can taunt it with.
There absolutely nothing even faintly comic about the 2CV, it is an abhorrence at every level.
But I’ll grant you, the Allegro is definitely in the top 10.
The Citroen 2CV.
There are many cars that have something worse; three wheeled things, Tesla design, the Renault dash mounted gearstick, etc.
But there is no other “modern” car which so significantly fails in every way as the 2CV.
It has nothing that could be described as performance or ride or comfort. There is nothing about it that can be called practical or stylish. It has zero properties that any sane person could find desirable in a car.
It’s so bad that even the Trabant has less to damn it, and that really is terrible.
I think the best evidence that the 2CV is man’s biggest failure, should you really need any, is that you are more likely to see them in the country they were made, repurposed as a chicken coop.
If that’s not the ultimate failure, I don’t know what is.
You’re being way too pedantic. I said most home hifi and you’re example isn’t.
If you want me to be more specific, this article will cover pretty much anything you want know.
Not really. Most home hifi won’t be affected. I think that’s a reasonable generalisation.
I’m not offended and I’m not scolding you.
You need to realise that I’m merely highlighting your poor behaviour for others to see.
Why so defensive? If you can’t justify your position then just say so, but pretending otherwise is just childish.
