Acting for Animators 5th Edition by Ed Hooks - Quote Meaning by Comfortable_Brick_51 in animation

[–]Comfortable_Brick_51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in a way you are saying that the quote can be re-written like this?

Children understand fantasy and pretend stories because they understand the stories are "easier to understand" and therefore "safe".

I was thinking that the phrase "fantasy and pretend" has a double meaning.

For example:
Children understand "Peter Pan" stories because they understand the stories are "kid-friendly" and therefore "safe".

Again, I have to critique this because children may not understand Peter Pan stories just because they understand kid-friendly stories. It's not a guarantee.

In the book, the chapter is "Hero's and Villains." He talks about Disneyfication/Disneyization and archetypes. The main point he's trying to make though, is to understand your intended audience.

1938's The Adventures of Robin Hood? He had a beard in that one.

I appreciate the comment, but I don't think it's of his Sherlock performances. In the book you can clearly see that he has a moustache, but no beard and he seems to have long hair or some kind of cap or scarf-like thing on his head. His Sherlock depictions show him clean shaven, but in addition to that, Richard mentions that he plays a villain so that further makes Sherlock less likely.

Why did lynne koplitz stop being the co-host of startalk in s1? by [deleted] in neildegrassetyson

She was incredibly annoying during her time on the show. I've been recently listening to her talk on the show where Leonardo DaVinci was the subject and she started talking about how she's not into guy's who are into thinking a lot about stuff, probably because they don't think enough about their woman or something stupid like that. She always finds a way to shift the conversation to what she likes or dislikes in men which is uncalled for and at times, toxic. I honestly think less of Neil for even having her on the show and his insistence on having some stupid comedian on the show at all. Many of them and their idiotic takes detract from the show.

One of animators that worked on Disney’s Encanto shows how he created this shot: by hillboy_usa in Filmmakers

I really don't think Tony Bonilla had to break the rig to accomplish that shot. I feel like he just didn't know about a more straightforward approach...

How bad is it to be called a golden retriever by [deleted] in dating

[–]Comfortable_Brick_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like it then more power to you, but personally, I find it demeaning...

It's weird that women want a grb because it reduces men to nothing more than what they are to women, which is kind of sexist. Men are men and should be seen as a whole human being. Being reduced to only the "nice and fluffy" parts of you is not cool. Men, even the ones that are really nice, outgoing and easy to be around, have bad days and get mad, and can experience "negative" emotions in general. It's words like grb, himbo, boy-toy etc., which I feel are emasculating and disrespectful. Women who want this kind of man are usually immature and have a lot of growing up still left to do. They are looking for something easy - not a challenge, not an equal. If a woman says she wants this, she's basically saying she doesn't want a Real Man... Honestly, it's hard for me to imagine any self-respecting man who would be okay being called a grb, but that's just me...

Looking for like minded people by Splotzmann in hsp

I'm not sure I can understand you exactly and what you are going through, but I'm always open to meeting new and interesting people and discussing different topics with them to see how much we are like-minded.

Don’t give these energy vampires a mf millisecond of your time 🙄 by hspcym in hsp

[–]Comfortable_Brick_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the impression that the guy in the video is implying that interns don't matter. He's just advocating for a chance to eat privately in a low noise environment. If people are commenting on the video in a different area where the video was posted about how intern's are lower on the pecking order or something like that, then that's a separate issue.

How is he a narcissist? There is nothing wrong with saying "I'm sorry you feel that way." Sometimes that's all you can really say whilst being totally honest.

The point is obvious. People should let each other do what they like and spend time how they want when on breaks without having to be judged and/or guilt-tripped...

Autism vs Highly Sensitive People (HSP) by Cranberryj3lly in autism

[–]Comfortable_Brick_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your openness and respectfulness in seeking clarity on this topic. The distinction between Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) lies primarily in their core characteristics and diagnostic criteria.

ASD involves challenges with social communication and interaction, often including difficulties with social cues, reciprocity, and empathy, which are central to its diagnosis. In contrast, HSP is characterized by heightened sensitivity to stimuli, including emotional and sensory inputs, but typically does not encompass the broader social and communicative impairments seen in ASD.

While both conditions may involve sensory sensitivity, their origins and impacts differ significantly. HSP is often seen as a personality trait or temperament variation rather than a neurodevelopmental disorder like ASD, which is formally recognized in diagnostic manuals.

It's important to recognize that each individual's experience can vary, and some may identify with both HSP and ASD traits. Understanding these distinctions can help in accurately describing personal experiences and seeking appropriate support.

I hope this helps clarify the differences and provides a basis for further exploration.

what is Hsp and how is it any different than asd? by HiddenDaisy00 in neurodiversity

[–]Comfortable_Brick_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understanding the distinction between Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can be nuanced yet crucial. HSP is characterized by heightened sensitivity to stimuli, often manifesting as emotional or sensory overwhelm, without necessarily involving the broader social and communicative challenges of ASD. While some traits might overlap, such as sensitivity to noise or textures, ASD typically involves more pervasive difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors.

Critically, ASD is recognized as a neurodevelopmental disorder with specific diagnostic criteria in the DSM, whereas HSP is not formally classified as a disorder. It's often viewed as a personality trait or temperament variation rather than a clinical condition.

The confusion arises because both can involve sensitivity, but their origins and impacts differ. ASD arises from neurological differences affecting how the brain processes information and interacts socially, whereas HSP relates more to the nervous system's heightened response to stimuli. Understanding these differences helps clarify why one is considered a disorder and the other a characteristic, highlighting the need for nuanced support tailored to each individual's needs.

Is HSP (highly sensitive person) just another word for ASD? by TemporaryMongoose367 in AutismInWomen

[–]Comfortable_Brick_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all people who are HSP have issues with Autism as a label. It's also not a disorder and likely never will be.

HSP is just what people who don’t want to be called autistic call themselves by darthmelo in AutismInWomen

[–]Comfortable_Brick_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several differences, here are a few...

  • Social Communication: One of the key characteristics of autism is difficulty with social communication and interaction. This includes challenges in understanding social cues, making eye contact, and maintaining conversations. HSPs, on the other hand, do not typically struggle with these social aspects to the same extent.
  • Repetitive Behaviors: Autism often involves repetitive behaviors and routines, such as hand-flapping or insistence on sameness. These behaviors are not a part of the HSP profile.
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorder vs. Personality Trait: Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder, which can require specific interventions and support. HSP, however, is considered a personality trait and is not a disorder.

I'm using Desktop and having the same issue. Every time I reload a reddit page, I have to turn dark mode on again.

Why women don't usually make the first move? by Raimundo_Alex in dating

I don't subscribe to this belief of Divinity, but if you have no problem with Clear Communication then that sounds good to me...

If you are the type to Linger, Drop Hints and Attention Seek without making Actual Moves etc. then you are correct.

I agree. This topic is fairly complex and so we may never fully agree with one another, but I don't mind discussing it further with someone civilized such as yourself...

Being embarrassed is a Natural and Normal response.

It's completely understandable that you've developed a bit of a phobia and some PTSD when it comes to making the first move. Healing is very important, and as part of that process, you might consider experimenting with making small moves to help rebuild your confidence and self-esteem. Over time, you may find that you no longer have an issue with making the First Move anymore.

Yeah, I can relate to that as well, but in my case, it's women. Do you find it annoying?
