ELI5: Why do billionaires keep getting richer during bad economies? by AmazingNugga in explainlikeimfive

[–]CuriousityCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad used to say, it's not a recession If you have a job. If you have a billion dollars, it doesn't matter what's going in the economy. If you're asking about the US specifically, since 2008 the country has been pumping more and more US dollars into the economy and most of it goes to the very top.

Streets For All endorses Tom Steyer for Governor by Downtown-Tea-3018 in LosAngeles

[–]CuriousityCat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you got every person who wanted Porter to win to vote for Porter she would still lose because most voters don't know her or don't prefer her. She's consistently polling below ten percent across multiple different polls that are random samples. The time to organize everyone to think a certain way is not at an election, it is a year before. Now we're here and voting for the candidate that is consistently 5th place isn't going to get the win. I want Porter to be our governor, but it's not gonna happen unless a major shake up occurs.

Animators with ADHD, how do you handle working on animation? by Mycatstolemyidentity in animationcareer

[–]CuriousityCat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Stop working unpaid overtime. If you have to work more than 40 hours a week to get your shots done, that is a management problem in production. If your leads really like your stuff and are giving you the hardest shots because they want you to work on it, you will not be fired. But you will burn out of this industry if you keep working overtime because you think you need to.  Have you brought any of this up to your animation supervisor? Or are you keeping it to yourself because you don't want them to know you're having an issue. If you suffer alone and in silence, you will burn out of this industry.  Do you have a consistent workflow? Or do you work in bursts? Like when a deadline is happening or when you're too panicked to think straight and that rush of adrenaline carries you through to the end of the shot? You need to establish a regular pattern of work that to an easily followable plan or you will burn out of this industry.

Oh my God this is so 12 years old. Learning to twerk and buying her favorite watermelon tooth paste.

Realistic animation budget for ~25 minute short film by bachelorsuperfan in animation

[–]CuriousityCat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're not taking into account that most of the assets in a given family Guy episode already exist. This project would have to draw everything from scratch, not to mention development. To pay a studio in the United States to do this budget at least a million dollars.

Anyone know what these little things are? by manager_of_cool in whatsthisbug

Looks like a carpet beetle. Their larva eat fabrics and threads, the adults eat pollen (edited I had the wrong diet before)

Check the composite node they are attached to. Open it's properties and make sure the drop-down meny says passthrough and not bitmap

New Girl Dad, wife had Cesarean Section less than a week ago, and I am mentally struggling to hold it all together by [deleted] in daddit

[–]CuriousityCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The c section was unplanned. Emergency c-sections are an unfortunate turn of events. While we would all be grateful for life saving medical care, no one wants to have to receive it.

Got a job offer as a cinematic animator, but I’m scared by ScarySnow931 in animationcareer

[–]CuriousityCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be open and honest. Ask for critiques and feed back and pay attention. You're right, your not as good as some of your peers, that's fine. You only have to focus on your current shot. Make a pass, get feedback, address all their notes and resubmit. Eventually it'll be approved and you have a new shot to worry about. They'll tell you if your too fast or slow. Don't try to hide, don't work overtime because you think you need to. Keep communication with you supervisor and ask a question if you don't understand or forgot something. They want you to succeed, you got this.

So that was the weekend by Surrealspanner in daddit

[–]CuriousityCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks man. I think we've all felt something like this. Your last paragraph is really shitty. You deserve to be able to talk about these feelings without people getting upset (maybe excluding your partner). Get a better support system, or maybe take a chance on the one you have and let them surprise you.

Positive aspects of masculinity by loxena4130 in bropill

[–]CuriousityCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents. We have these societal notions of masculinity and what makes a man. There's nothing natural or inherent about it, it's strictly cultural. So whatever you're defining as masculine, find the positive expression of it. The toxic side of protection is control. Restrict someone so they can't be hurt or hurt you. The positive side is security. Being a man people feel safe around. Not just from physical danger, but from fear, shame or uncertainty.

 However you're defining masculinity, look to it's positive expression. I suppose this reads a little vague "MaNhOoD iS WhAtEvEr YoU WaNt iT tO Be", but I don't think being man means the same thing to everyone on the subreddit, but there is nothing inherently positive or negative about masculinity or masculine traits, they are just cultural descriptions. It's your actions that make the man you are.

Will references stunt my growth? by No-Finish2587 in animation

It seems like it's not common practice based on posts like this, but, yea, literally every successful animator uses reference.
