  • Make the government fail and then triumphantly point out you said it would fail. Yeah, because you fucking made it fail you dimwit.

    Orange McRapepedo can only chase the latest shiny trophy or bribe that gets dangled in front of pig eyes, but don’t mistake him for the incompetence of everyone. JD Couchfucker and the scum like him would absolutely continue dismantling the government, not out of stupidity but so they can sell off the broken scraps to the tech sociopath oligarchs.

    “Oh damn, looks like government healthcare doesn’t work, guess we should put Tim Apple in charge of iHealth. Looks like social security money isn’t being distributed efficiently, let’s set everyone up in Sauron Thiel’s Palantir database so things work more smoothly. Education results continue to decline after a pedo protector from the WWE couldn’t run things? Obviously Cuckerberg already has the infrastructure to get everyone into a controlled virtual learning environment, and recess can be spent playing games with loot boxes.”


  • It’s the distance from the lens to the focal point, as in where the picture focuses on the sensor behind the lens. If you have a very long focal length like a telescope, you can see things further away but the range you can see is very small. With a short focal length you can’t see as far but you can see a much wider view. Check out this chart:

    If you get very close to something with a short focal length or far away from it with a long focal length you can get essentially the same picture of a main subject (although what you can see in the background will be different), but even then a short lens will sort of taper your subject closer to a single point and a long lens will widen it. You can see this effect easily on faces: see this gif or this gif or this picture for an example.
