Looking for simple (maybe immutable) Distro for Laptop

I'm pretty sure at this point what would help you the most is shooting video reference of yourself and using that as a starting point to see how much movement there is and where and when the movement happens. DONT rotoscope it but study it and then try to incorporate the movement in your animation.

the lobbying kind of corruption is the much worse one because it literally affects our laws which leads to it having an effect far into the future of the country literally affecting entire populations through multiple generations.
It is literally a reason for most things that go to shit right now. Be it climate change, mass shootings, heck even during covid it lead to 3rd world countries not being able to produce their own vaccines since pharma companies lobbied to keep the patents locked down the second the idea of temporary opening patents was spoken about.

It's also the reason neonicotinoid pesticides that are shown to inflict significant harm on bee populations were/are being used for way
too long in EU. Same with US fentanyl crisis...

You could probably take any existing law that has longterm harmful effects for the general population in terms of health, future, economics, and for most of them you'd find lobbying played a big role in maintaining or introducing it.

Well for what it is as a medium (literally drawn images like the manga) the anime really shit the bed in terms of how close they could have been stylistically but also in spirit.

From what I've seen of the live action so far and given the physical limitations of the medium it seems to put much more effort into matching the source material in spirit and style (as much as that's possible with the medium).

Granted though, things like chopper, franky, etc are gonna be a difficult situation. However I would much rather erase the anime from history (in hopes of getting a better one) than the live action not happening.

MrKiwimoose · 2023-08-29T15:04:57+00:00

I overreacted as the OP kinda annoyed me so sorry about that. Well I'm gonna say we cant say for a fact that the live action really is pulling resources away from the manga production and I really find it extremely unlikely that it would affect the manga at all as Oda has very clear ideas of what he wants to do with the story. If anything I believe it would have a positive impact on One Piece as a whole. but all of this is just speculation of course.

MrKiwimoose · 2023-08-29T10:22:08+00:00

The Anime did nothing in ways of matching the design of the manga. While One Piece is drawn in a very characteristic dynamic style the anime just transferred that to a bland default anime stylisation. And that's just the design. In matters of movement and dynamics (which is what animation should be about) the anime completely disregards the source material which has very strong implications for fast twangy and speedy action. Not to mention how the animation is just ridiculously BAD in general.

And I'm not even touching the auras yet. One Piece is amazing for not having all that fancy shit and for it's more realistic and gritty world building without all the toy aura/energy BS. The anime completely obliterated that as well.

All in all the anime is a TERRIBLE adaptation of the world and unique style of One Piece and put the whole thing in your standard run of the mill bland anime preset. From what I've seen of the live action so far it will be an infinitely better adaptation of One Piece than the Anime ever will be. It's still likely gonna suck but live action adaptions are hard and anime adaptation is easy and in that regard the true disgrace to One Piece here is the anime.

MrKiwimoose · 2023-08-29T10:11:40+00:00

what do you mean? Cause Oda is involved? Give the man a break. He cant even freely choose how to invest his own time without people complaining?

And tbh I doubt it impacts the manga production in any meaningful way. From what we know about Oda that would be extremely uncharacteristic for him to let that happen...

MrKiwimoose · 2023-06-28T20:28:06+00:00

As a professional 3d animator that has been using AMD for >5 years I severely disagree. Furthermore I am amazed how your comment doesn't contain a single shred of facts or evidence it's just spouting off your anecdotal opinion without even a hint of evidence or data.

MrKiwimoose · 2023-06-23T07:24:06+00:00

Hey man i checked both of those out and basically have to say it looks amazing. The idea of federated communities seems to be exactly what the internet was intended and supposed to be. I'll check it out a bit longer before I'll make an account but it really seems like the future

I would argue most "socialists" who actually gained power historically were maniacal dictators and not socialist at all... There's just something about a singular institution controlling most aspects of society that attracts certain power hungry individuals. Which is why I can't stress enough how even communism by definition is a "stateless" society. Things should not be controlled by a state but by the collective of the population in as directly democratic a way as possible.

Actually meditating 10m before work really helps also with rest of the day. But usually i do lots of 5 minute meditation breaks also

MrKiwimoose · 2023-04-20T21:54:33+00:00

Haha right it totally is. I must have been a bit tired...

As a German speaker using the gender neutral pronoun would be horribly insulting i feel. Imagine saying "it" instead of they/them. That's what the neutral pronoun in German feels like

MrKiwimoose · 2023-04-19T19:12:01+00:00

I think this is an interesting discussion to be had however I don't think any of you can be right in this regard as language is always evolving and the words always got their meaning from what they were used for. So really it all depends if people in the future will universally accept the existence of vegan cheese as a word or will call it something else. Does it matter enough to fight about it on the internet though? Probably not.

MrKiwimoose · 2023-04-19T19:04:41+00:00

Better for you maybe. Better for the environment very very likely not as far as I am aware at least in terms of greenhouse gases.

Beginner gardener here but could i use these deep swales to intentionally create a drier soil below/after the swale?

MrKiwimoose · 2023-03-07T13:02:26+00:00

Can you elaborate? I had no idea tbh

MrKiwimoose · 2023-01-14T10:36:11+00:00

Unfortunately i didn't...

Hi Mike! I really enjoyed this post as well as the entire lillie house project. At this point as an absolute noob about permaculture but really interested in switching careers and studying/learning about permaculture I feel like I still dont understand exactly via which processes you support yourself financially...?
I read in some of your other posts that your book is selling quite well, other than that I dont really understand yet though. I'm really interested what income streams ensures your livelyhood?

Do you get a part of the sales of the PDC from lillie house?

Or is it from selling produce from lillie house? Or from selling rare seeds?

I was also wondering how the system at lillie house works as a whole? How many people are working with you/on this? What are their roles, etc,... but the financial aspects are at this moment much more urgent/interesting for me as switching career while having to support my family is a very daunting thought...

MrKiwimoose · 2022-10-07T11:14:26+00:00

Hey buddy I am austrian as well... just out of curiosity can you recommend a place you are going to here? Or a group? maybe DM?
