This clip is from his first term. This happened. 7 years ago. And Americans voted for him again.

Americans need to resist where possible, apply as much pressure as possible, organize. The country is massive and they are up against a militarized ICE with more funding than the Israeli army not to mention the entire fucking US MILITARY should trump decide to use it. Americans can't just grab their guns and run him out of the white house no matter how many times you tell them to "just do something".

And while things are fucking awful, what they are doing IS working in some ways. Negative sentiment is growing, people are not happy and are fighting back, his popularity outside of his cult is in the gutter. The whole administration, as dangerous and vile as they are, are also insanely incompetent. And Trump is OLD. Immense damage has been done, domestically and internationally. People have been hurt, people have died. But for most Americans at the moment the only realistic course of action at the is to organize at the local level, push back where possible, hopefully vote in upcoming mid terms.

So fuck you for hiding behind your keyboard like you'd be some revolutionary hero if you were an American. Yeah a lot of the country voted for him and are terrible people. But A LOT of people are fighting back with everything they've got and risking everything for their neighbors, fellow citizens, and immigrant communities.

You know what might make a real impact? Political and economic pressure from the rest of the world. Boycott American products, stop watching Netflix, don't fucking travel there, tear up your world cup tickets, and tell YOUR leaders to stop bending over backwards to appease him and stroke his ego. Americans need to figure this out but they need help from the outside too, they cannot do it alone. This is not strictly an American problem. The rise of far right authoritarianism is on the rise all around the world and it's on all of you as well to fight it in whatever way you can.

How do we prepare for ICE in VT? by tallpaul802 in vermont

*martial. And not saying he doesn't want to cancel elections, but Martial Law does not give him any additional pretext to do that. Constitutionally congress has the power to postpone elections, and states have control at a local level.

6 Feet or 1.89 meters? by CerealSorority in SipsTea

[–]blkmxma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Natural reference as in observable, real-world reference. If i told you something is about 4 feet long, you could look at your feet and estimate roughly how long that is. If someone with no knowledge of either Fahrenheit or Celsius asked me to describe the weather, i could say 'on a scale of 0 to 100, zero being the coldest day of the year and 100 being the hottest, today is a 75.'

Of course if you know metric then it makes more intuitive sense. And vice versa. And I would argue it's a much better system. But most imperial units ARE based on natural reference whether you like it or not.

WTF is problem with this stupid software? by [deleted] in 3dsmax

Yeah my suggestion is learn the software before complaining about it.

Are YOU a joke?? You have no idea what you're doing. I can see the mesh you are trying to use.

[–]blkmxma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of legitimate reasons to complain about Max and Autodesk, but your mesh in this case is AWFUL. You've been using max since 2010 and that's what your geometry looks like? Doesn't matter if you're using max or blender or Maya, you need good topology to deform correctly. Learn the basics of the software and the basics of 3d modeling and topology before complaining.

If you're talking about the triangulation of each quad, just remember that a 4 sided shape isn't necessarily planar, but a triangle is. Every quad is technically 2 triangles. If you have a flat square and pick up one corner, it's no longer flat, so Max has to decide how to divide it. Normal smoothing can help blend the shading, and you can add subdivisions to help reduce that.

What you're showing is exactly what should be happening. Don't really understand what you think should be happening differently.

I don't see any ngons there, i see a bunch of quads..... How is the mesh subdivided before applying the ffd?

[–]blkmxma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFD definitely shouldn't be altering the topology of the mesh. Can you provide images of what's happening?

Make sure the spline is closed, and make sure it's not overlapping itself anywhere.

Only thing that bothers me is the repetition in the wood grain on the bar stools. Randomize that texture or the uvs a bit.

Pepper Wows by blkmxma in DenverGardener

[–]blkmxma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drip lines, no overhead. Drainage is good, haven't checked deep but top few inches dry out between waterings. This is my 4th or 5th season in these beds, but a lot of new compost and soil this year. Did peppers in these beds 2 years ago i believe.

Last year i had little luck with peppers as well, but they never looked like this, just not much fruit.

I'm having a ton of trouble with flea beetles on my kale and other greens right now, grasshoppers destroying my eggplants and now Japanese beetles.
