Check around at local universities. Some students upgrade along the way, or the professors might point you in the direction of local photography stores that deal in used.

Do they not care about transgender men in sports?

If you are starting out, I promise it doesn’t matter. As far as lens, any kit lens (one that’s included, typically a “zoom” lens) that has a starting mm range in the 20s would be a good start. After you get used to the camera, look at getting a faster prime lens. This is a lens with a fixed mm, like 24mm and aprime lenses are generally better quality and sharper than zoom. The f-stop with as low a number as you can afford. The lower f-stop will allow better low light photographs, if that even matters to you. As a lens rule, 50mm is usually what our vision sees, anything less is considered wide angle. Anything more, and your zooming into be close to the subject.

My advice is to get an entry level mirrorless (you mentioned the r50) Canon, nikon or Sony. They have the largest lens catalog without needing adapters. Mirrorless will give you a more compact camera. You can save a few bucks and go traditional dslr (like the t7) or buy used and save yourself a ton of money.

For your budget, this is the best deal new I could see for what you mentioned.

This is the r50 mirrorless https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1748811-REG/canon_eos_r50_mirrorless_camera.html

Or go used and spend half the money

Don’t focus on the equipment. Any dslr, be it mirrorless, full frame, or traditional format, will be more than enough to get started and learn how photography works.

Force yourself to use manual mode and learn how fstops, shutter speed, iso and everything else tie together to make an image. I know you said no refurbished, but the used market is ideal for beginners. I went to school for photography (not my current career) but I still use a 20 year old nikon with the kit lens and a couple nice prime lenses I added along the way. The equipment rarely holds you back. With that said, once you have your feet wet, lenses are where you want to invest. An entry level camera with a nice lens will take better pics than a high end camera and shitty lens.

You going to go out there for minimum wage to do the work?

I always use the thirds rule, roughly a third of all voters are head in the sand Republicans. This is the MAGA crowd. Any time I see a survey about US politics, I look for anything beyond 33% to see what the “regular” Republicans represent. In this case, about 13% of regular Republicans would support the measure.

When I see polls like this gain ground beyond that third, that’s when I know the MAGA message is starting to seep into the “regular” voter.

I hope with every fiber of my being that this continues and implodes the party. They aren’t even in fucking office yet and can’t get their shit in check.

Why don’t you make the education system here in the US better first.

LOL who the fuck am I kidding.

She not only thinks this, but took the time to plan this out. At no point while thinking about shooting immigrants, or building a dummy to represent an immigrant, or taping its arms and legs, or putting it in a chair, or loading the gun, or setting up a tripod to film it, or pulling the trigger, or loading it to a computer to edit it, or uploading it, did she think maybe this is a bit much.

Disgusting human trash.

I’m over 40 and I play with Legos, I game on a regular basis, and I wear shirts from cartoons like Bluey and Gudetama. I have no kids, and I have never felt the urge to stop doing “childish” things. I enjoy the stupid things in life that bring me joy. Why quit them?

Yes, because tax evasion and a gun crime are the same as raping a child.

Not me, but my wife.

She receives an envelope from her grandmother, oh cool, money!
She opened it and it was empty. Okay, no fuss she probably forgot to fill one when making all of them for the family. A week later, she told her grandma it was empty. Her grandma replied “No! There’s no way it was empty, your mistaken.” This is par for the course. She ignores my wife all the time and talks down to her.

So an empty envelope is the worst I’ve seen.

How the hell does Sedera (the “health group”) they were using even afford to pay anything out?

Correct my math if I’m wrong, but using their data, call it 35000 paying members. The family in question paid about 150 a month. Let’s be generous and say 200 per month for each member. That equals 84 million a year of revenue. Taking no other expenses out for running Sedera, that allows each member to only receive 2400 a year in reimbursement. Most of these members are probably families. They also have to pay a deductible, just like regular insurance. So what the hell would Sedera even be able to afford to cover for their “members”?

Religious organizations really know how to grift, don’t they.

The only harm is using too much. My mother-in-law has ruined multiple washing machines over the years. She doesn’t understand that modern high efficiency machines require very little detergent and proceeds to clog them up with too much.

I literally had to teach my wife how to do laundry correctly when we got married so she wouldn’t ruin the washing machine.

Yet they quickly jumped on board and never took a stand against him. They are lock step now, so just because he didn’t get a warm welcome, they sure do love him now.

You know she’s a great candidate for the people when her own party leaders don’t want her in power.

I’d like 1 heroin, some ketamine, all the weed and how about you throw in some acid. I’m asking for off label use for my tummy ache.

Oh shut the fuck up. I know exactly who you voted for, you piece of shit. You defended him and allowed him to pack the courts. You had EVERY opportunity to stop him but didnt you fucking spineless traitor.

Was sounding the alarm when he announced his 2nd run for president. So, what’s new.
