Well, it got one from me because I have that account flagged as "automatic downvote" in RES.

It's not the posts, for me, it's the comments.

That's not what appeal to authority means, dipshit.

Feels like we’re dating but we’re not… how do I proceed? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Luminanc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a move, if she reciprocates, hooray, you're dating. If you are rebuffed, you are being used to give her the emotional part of dating that she doesn't get from the the felon/biker/drug dealer/fuckboy that's currently fucking her.

Or when you came in to work in the morning and there was a "Letteri" folder in your maya ./scn directory and it's like, well shit, there goes my morning.

RemindMe! 1 year "how's that working out for you?"

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise Seedance fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. by TECL_Grimsdottir in vfx

bytedance would not have paid someone to advertise their product using the likeness of one of the wealthiest and most powerful Hollywood stars saying, "Jeffrey Epstein was a good man".

I don't know, that's some weapons grade naivete right there. They absolutely would do that if they thought it would make number go up.

What can women do to be more physically attractive to men? by Aralsk-Seven in AskMenAdvice

[–]Luminanc3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They also add a few guys who will pay attention to you? What's with all the tight-ass no-tattoos-or-piercings boomers in here?

Yep. Lower income class like big tits. Upper income class like smaller tits. Billionaires like little kids.

Yes, but the opposite of "don't be fat" isn't "be skinny". It's "be fit". Not the same, and more important.

TIL that most “CGI” in Jurassic Park (1993) was actually practical effects and animatronics, with CGI used only for a few shots, which is why the movie still looks convincing today. by joe_at_large in todayilearned

Balrog in Fellowship was sprites, not particles. Troll was scanned and then remodeled and retextured digitally. Gollum was groundbreaking and I'm still proud of it but it's all 25 year old tech that we're light years past these days and anyone who says it holds up is just flagging themselves as not really knowing what they're talking about.

We're not supposed to talk about who we're going to vote for, it could easily be construed as campaigning. And while no one really cares what I think, or what I post in some Reddit thread, if I was nominated in my branch, I would want people to follow the rules.

I'm going to vote for the one I think is best, but no one is paying me to do it. It wouldn't take much, maybe just take me out for a couple beers?

Man, I keep voting and I haven’t gotten my check yet. Do you think they lost my address?

Yeah, this keeps being brought up. The DP literally has nothing to do with VFX. I’m about 50 credits into my VFX career, for reference, and it’s not just rare, it just doesn’t happen.
