DPI is basically just an instructor for a printer on how to translate a file. Make it 3000dpi if you like, it doesn't matter. The printer will still print within its own limits. At a certain size, it'll be pixilated, according to your original resolution, but whether that's OK all depends on your final usage.

I'm not sure why it's quite so controversial to be honest. I'm not directly accusing people who use a high ISO of not knowing what they're doing by definition. I'm just with you in that people will put a lot of emphasis on specs that they probably don't need to.
I'm prepared for you to think that I'm a prick and not take any of my advice, but your post history tells me you're perhaps a beginner so if you'd like to learn anything, I have a track record of very happy clients that I wear on my sleeve (or rather, link to on my profile.) I'm happy to share my experience.
You learn by doing and recognising. (I know, summing it up like that is a bit of a cop out.) You learn to watch people's actions, by seeing contrast in what light is available and learning your own limitations of motions vs shutter speed vs what your subject is. (It's not always formulaic.) You learn what makes a bad image and redirect your efforts to what you learn is a good opportunity. If you have to get the image under terrible conditions, because the client needs it, you just get it. If you don't, you can safely pass it by. You introduce strobe lighting when you can - providing it doesn't disturb the atmosphere of the job at hand (like a wedding in a church). And you invest in lenses before bodies, as always.
You sound aggressive and presumptuous. I'm prepared to stand by my statement.
Bounce flash and direct flash with mods are valuable techniques. Sure. There are times when you're shit out of luck and you'll rely on those fast lenses and high ISOs. But there's still a difference between low light and bad light and what a big difference in how to handle them.
People will go through great lengths to not understand lighting.
Was that a pun?
Post them on social media. Then they're published.
It's possible. But not for someone who's watched too much Andrew Tate.
This whole post would be more at home on r/photographycirclejerk
Using direct flash, you can go as slow as you'd like (a second or two is common for me in some situations) providing that's what balances the ambience to your needs. You'll get shutter drag on that ambience but the subject lit by the flash will be sharp. Think typical nightclub photos and some nighttime street photography styles.
I'm gunna go out on a limb and ask that you just don't. This whole post gives me Andrew Tate in the making vibes. I mean. Youve decribed yourself as a "GWC"!? Women are people, man. Have you never spoken politely to anyone before? You told your buddy you could do this already? I'm not sure I believe you have a girlfriend to tell to "stick her butt out." Are you trolling? Should this be on r/photographycirclejerk instead?
