SO agree w this. The animated hobbit/lotr films are part of what sparked my love for fantasy. Actually READING the books damn near made me abandon it.

Tolkien is my primary example of "great at worldbuilding, terrible at prose."

Aye

Éire Bud confirmed!

Wrong complaint tho. The Senate is where smaller states power is SUPPOSED to be more strongly represented by design. Its why we have a bicameral congress. The unfair representation is in the house of reps, largely because of the apportionment act.

I *cannot* fucking stress this enough:

The threat of AI is *NOT* making movies for us, but the hundreds of jobs it will be able to easily eliminate from crew positions. VFX. Drone pilots. Color timing. Sound mixing. Clerical staff.

If we don't move to protect jobs NOW, they WILL go away forever.

But HOW DID HE GET HIS LOINCLOTH WILL? AND WHY DID HE DOWNGRADE?

The loincloth in two towers was CLEARLY at subsurf 5 while the one in the hobbit was at 6 with a multires mesh! Why would he want the extra bumps???

And don't tell me the rougher polygons would be natural over time! The dispmaps!

I don't want to unfollow because generally i respect his work and liked to know his thoughts, but... c'mon dude. You're at the point where your complaint is pretty obviously that you're on here in the first place. You've made muting "bingo" and "tell me your" its own thread. So... just... don't be?

Theres a person i follow whose whole thing lately is loudly announcing hes muting popular things people do for fun.

Good! Love him making his experience better! Really!

But CONSTANTLY announcing his mutes is worse than what he mutes. To the point of "why are you even on here??? Just go to a bar!"

Dunno, but i occasionally do "Leader of Men" at kroky and peeps tend to be shocked when i tell them it was Nickelback.

Huh. @halsparks.com was SURE this would work.

Seriously, Hal. Lower your standards. You cannot reason with unreasonable people.

That said, illegal only matters if you get caught. (And sometimes not even then apparently.)

One of my favorite facts:

Donald Trump cant swim. Prove me wrong.

Im pretty sure ive known to call Larry H Parker for at least 2 entire lifetimes now.

Define "day".

And they've been getting way more frequent for me, especially in supposedly "demonotized" videos.

Few weeks ago i think i counted 7 breaks in a 15 min video about nazis in ww2? And one was LITERALLY in the middle of the host complaining "this video is going to be demonitized because i said nazi."

Tried this. Several times. Hasn't worked for me. At all. Im STILL getting 40 minute "ads" that are just full epoch times and Ben Shapiro episodes. (I used to frequent the debunking community. So i get why.)

Still using an... unorthodoxically obtained, modded version of PhotoshopCS5 on an airgapped windows 8 laptop.

I think it's time we revisit the possibility that Stargate is real. That's not a worm. It's a goa'uld.

Huh. Up until this moment id never even considered the possibility ICE might have an equestrian unit.

Come on ironic karma. You owe us this one...

Cool. Then just release it. All of it. Unredacted aside from minors names. The only people who need to worry are the people the files implicate. Really fuckin simple.

High Hopes (Pink Floyd/Nightwish)

Blank Space (Taylor Swift/I Prevail)

In My Defense (Freddy Mercury/Avantasia)

The Derelict (Henry Waller/Abney Park)

Shallow (Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga/Floor Jansen)

Careless Whisper (George Michael/Seether)

All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan/Bear McCreary)

Hey, he was bound to excel at SOMETHING...

Theyre gonna release the tapes but claim that the pedophiles are ALSO Epstein's victims, aren't they?

Before. Been a while since ive seen either, but if they took place later everywhere would've been littered w stormtrooper armor. And at least one ewok would be living in a repurposed AT-ST cabin.

That said, yes this WILL be used as a money laundering fund. Duffy isn't taking abot those reactors. I'd bet my left testicle he doesn't even know they exist. And even if he DID he would insist we need to build a "real one" that lasts longer, ignoring that the new ones require almost no maintenance.

Saying it's impossible is just an indication of how shitty we've gotten at staying up on technology news. There's multiple nuclear reactors built in the last few years. Smaller than a car, safer than what what's in subs. One kid built one that can basically be carried by 2 people for less than $1m.

Disagree, but only the assertion that it's "impossible". It's pointless without being part of a larger project. It's about vanity. It's a total waste of resources that we could use to be productive HERE? But impossible? No. Wouldn't even be that hard. We could do it next year if we wasted enough $

I dare you too say that with a porg in the room.
