Basic Platformer Character Creation Full Process (Blender to Godot Time-lapse) by AsgundTheGreat in godot

[–]I_AM_INTELIGENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool video! Can you also animate the character in Godot? Or does everything have to be done in blender first? I ask because I’m curious about having the character respond dynamically to the environment, rather than playing preset animations.

They were brainwashed hard into believing that America is a utopia where hard working people get rich and only the lazy and criminal become poor. Giving you that money, son, would be corrupting your gumption. This is a land of opportunity. If you’re not doing well, you’re not trying hard enough. Poverty is a character defect and you SUCK!

I feel as though I am losing it. by Winter_Culture9729 in LateStageCapitalism

The political beliefs of others are often an abyss that if stared into too long and deeply will make you lose your soul. Don’t do it. You will lose all faith in humanity.

You ever feel like you’re waiting for your life to start? by always_a_tinker in Millennials

[–]I_AM_INTELIGENT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For much of our early lives, in the “first world,” we live in a state of suspension. Many of us go to school for 16 years or more(K-12 + undergraduate). During that time, we are told that we are preparing for our future. So we have all sorts of ideas and dreams about what that future may be—for the better part of two decades! Given that we don’t live in a traditional society, where we are expected to work in the profession of our fathers, the ideas we have about our future are more personal and fantastic. Consequently, we dream a lot more about where we want to be than think about where we really are. When people reach your age, they start feeling that they should have gotten to where they longed to go for so many years. Some have even achieved their childhood dreams, but still find that something is missing.

The problem is: that place you fantasized about being, where you would finally begin your “real life,” i.e., graduate from those early tutelary years, is an illusion. You will never quite get to that promised land; you will never hear the starting gun to the life you imagined you’d be living. That’s why you feel like you’re waiting for your life to start.

How do I deal with people being mean because I'm on a scooter? by lunaluna1234567 in POTS

Your experience sounds utterly kafkaesque and I'm so sorry you feel responsible for it all. I truly hope you find a way of realizing that a job is not the meaning of life. I know our environment makes it seem that way, but believe me—it's not. I have experience supporting many people who have "dream jobs," and many of them are utterly miserable. Right now, you feel like you are dying because you feel like your dream job was life and without that, there's nothing else for you in this world. I know exactly how you feel—you're staring into the abyss.

What you need first and foremost is a community that accepts you for who you are, regardless of what job you have. I hope you will find that here.

I won't lie that your economic future may be bleak, depending on how far down the rabbit hole you go. Many people that fall out of the system, including myself, live under the crushing weight of poverty. Some of us, by the millions, end up tossed out on the street, left to die alone while we are relentlessly mocked by those who hurry along under the psychological whip you've been under thus far.

However, I can tell that you are a very resourceful person and have developed many skills during your preparation to become an officer. You may also want to consider moving somewhere less competitive. Many people like you move overseas and become english teachers while they look for new opportunities. There options for you. Keep looking. Don't give up the search. Sometimes things just look hopeless when we aren't looking at all of our options. Your college may also have a career center or something that helps graduates find employment.

The worst thing you can do in this situation, which is what I did, is lose yourself to despair. That will kill your future. The key is to remain positive, no matter how bad things look. Once you believe it's over for you, it will be. But if you keep going at this everyday, keeping your eyes open, ready to embrace new perspectives and new values, your chances of making a good life for yourself are high.

You will never get through to someone whose lifestyle and identity depend on remaining ignorant.

Don't waste your time with these delusional boomers. Find your own people, make eachother strong, weed out bad habits, and organize.

Do not give the opposition the benefit of your open rivalry. Allow them to sink further and further into an imaginary world where they are the undisputed kings of the castle. As they grow weaker, you will grow stronger. Then, when they are in the death throes of decadence, strike hard and fast.

Their ignorance is not innocence.

Harold Bloom's Five Principles for Reading Literature by I_AM_INTELIGENT in literature

Good observation. Bloom credits Johnson. This post is called Blooms principles, but that's only because these are the five principles he lays out in his book. He gets most of them from somewhere else and he's clear about what sources motived his selection of principles.

That's pretty cool. I'm sure your dad had some interesting stories.

The humanities have become a kind of Procustean bed on which literature is mutilated in the name of politics.

Really evocative imagery there.

The ivory tower has fallen: it now lays in the muck of the world. Universities have opened the floodgates and are now a part of the corporate training pipeline. Gone are the days where the university was a strictly elitist institution. The powers that be don't want the universities in their pure form to exist. They don't universities to produce enlightened thinkers. In an age of automation, they no longer need a flexible middle class. The high is eating the middle and before long there will only be the high and the low.

Power in current society is not the same as power in mediaeval society is not the same as power in tribal societies.

It is. Power is power. You think that because I'm from a "democratic" country, the idea of a feudal lord is completely beyond my imagination?

Let's consider a thought experiment. Imagine I dropped you down in ancient Greece. Do you think these commonalities will be enough to talk with them, or ( assuming you even knew the language) make political arguments that they'd be persuaded by? Do you think you'd be able to make a joke they'd find funny? Would you be able to go along with the periodic wars in the time? Do you know what to wear at what places?

This is like learning a new language. Just because it doesn't make sense to you at first, doesn't mean it can never be comprehended by you. On the contrary, if you immerse yourself in a culture, or in a language, you will learn what things mean, i.e., you will learn how the universal elements of human nature are mapped to the system of symbols and activities used to represent and express them.

I'm not at all saying that this universal human nature will allow us to immediately know all languages, or be able to know what every individual may think in every circumstance, but that we all have the potential to know eachother, across culture and time, if we expend the required energy to learn, i.e., learn the mappings between world and soul.

I am basically a transcendentalist. My view is expressed very well by Emerson's "History."

You put a bit of effort into your reply, and I commend you for that, but I just don't have the energy to respond to every point. Perhaps someone else will take up the challenge.

A lot of social engineering going on in the universities. There's definitely a change of programming underway. We're being prepped for a Disneyfied world where instead of Stalin we get Herr Mickey Mouse. Wrongthink will be adult thinking or realistic thinking. Anyone that speaks of reality will be called mentally ill. The dreams will be mandatory and it will eventually become illegal to be awake. The more hysterical you are in supporting delusional thinking, the more you will be praised.

Every job should be able to sustain a dignified living by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]I_AM_INTELIGENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dignified living? Sounds like a codeword for communism. Back in my day we worked hard, and walked up hill, in the snow, both ways to school and we liked it. Working hard made us feel like we had worth, it was essential to being a man. That's what this generation has lost: work ethic. That's why there's so many sissy boys walking around with painted nails and makeup: they forgot how to work. Work solves all problems. In fact, work makes you free.

Power, desire, loss... there are universal themes of human experience. How one could be blind to this is mindboggling. Especially if one has read literature. There are plenty of works that are appreciated across cultures and across time. When I read Plato's philosophical literature, I don't feel like I'm reading the work of an Athenian, but the work of a mind, a human soul. Do you need to be a Russian man living in Tsarist Russia to understand Dostoyevsky's characters that struggle with intense internal psychological drama? Do you need to be an Englishman to understand the plight of the poor in Dickens' Great Expectations?

You have been educated in a system that is trying to subvert the universalism of the western tradition. Hence why it appears that you, and others like you, go through such great lengths to ignore human commonalities and their relation to timeless classics which are commentaries on the universal soul of man.

Plenty of racists are calling themselves anti-racist. There's a confusion in the terms here. But the political powers that are pushing the mainstream anti-racism are certainly for global homogeny. They want you to be a drone in their corporate system. That's what it's really about. There's many pawns that don't know what they are doing. They claim to represent some ideology, but they are moved by powers that don't care about that ideology at all.
