What's your most-hunted photobook?

What's your most-hunted photobook?

Books go out of print, reissues stall, and the one you figured you could always track down later suddenly isn't there anymore.

Got me thinking about the photobooks I've chased for years. Mine was Color Correction by Ernst Haas (Steidl) for a long time.

What's yours? The one you hunted forever, or the one you're glad you grabbed before it vanished?

Collapse awareness and life direction paralysis

Hi all,

I'm pretty sure this is the right subreddit, since I'm collapse-aware and definitely need support right now. I'll try my best to express what I feel, even though my overall numbness makes my thoughts more and more confused.

In short, I feel utterly lost.

I'm a European male in my mid-30s, in a long-term relationship, stuck in a career I don't particularly enjoy but that seems stable enough to pay the bills until AI eventually replaces it.

I'm at a point in my life where I'm supposed to take the next defining steps, get married, provide financially, buy a flat or house, have a baby. The issue is that I don't see the point anymore. My job will probably disappear eventually, even though it's stable for now. I'm not high income, and anything real estate I could realistically afford where I live isn't anything I ever dreamed of.

I see things as they are: the slow process of collapse, environmental issues, ongoing geopolitical conflicts, the rise of AI, Inflation. The problem is that my girlfriend doesn't see those things the way I do, she wants to dream and rightly so.

I feel stuck, because if we can't share goals or dreams, what's the point? What alternative do I have? Any career choice that pays enough to cover the bills and put food on the table is still part of this capitalist system who destroys the planet and our souls. I'm not going to change jobs and suddenly become a plumber. So what's the alternative, being alone and miserable for the rest of my life? Or, like everyone else, just keep playing the game and hoping for the best?

I have no idea what direction to give my life when every road ahead looks like a dead end. I do what I do best: I numb the pain. I entertain myself to death, with the occasional spark of wonder from whatever nature can still offer. I eat healthy, I exercise, I sleep eight hours a night, I go on vacation, I try to prolong my life but it all feels pointless. It feels like we're living in a transition phase, caught between two models of society, and the new one, whatever it turns out to be keeps being postponed by those in power, who'd rather watch us suffer and die than give anything back.

I can live with these feelings, cope with them even. But I see that my lack of action, decision, and direction is affecting the people who live with me, and I don't want to make them suffer. At the same time, I can't unlearn what I know and pretend everything is fine.

When I see friends sharing pictures of their kids, my first thought is "poor soul." That should not be right.

Does anyone share these feelings? What do you do with it?

What is included with the X3 when ordering from the official website?

I am asking because there is the possibility for add ons: magnetic case, screen protector, addhesive metal ring... which of course add up to the final amount.

However I have seen online that when ordering though amazon or else, the x3/x4 already comes up with some of those add ons. Can someone please confirm?

Alarm setting not showing in Sleep tab on Google Health

Hi,
wondering if someone has a similar issue. My Google Health app does not show the alarm setting tab in Sleep section. I currently purchased the Fitbit Air, previously using the inspire 3. I have unpaired the inspire 3, paired the Air, deleted the app, installed it again, reset the Fitbit air. Nothing works.

I guess that there is probably a permission that I need to allow in my android settings in order to have the alarm feature showing in the Health app?

Would really apreciate any help. Thank you!
