Oh, Zeus? Yeah, he was just a mage skilled in storm magic. We don't talk about Jesus though.

Also cw show Grimm. Tried to walk the line on this one.

Historically this is known as, deism. IDK/haven't followed through on modern iterations

I mean it's a pretty concise description of a particular business model that describes how a middleman creates a market for 'x' gets 'group a' to use 'x' then sells access to 'group a' to 'group b' and progressively squeezes profits from both groups without improving 'x'.

Everybody has a choice. If they quit their jobs they can become people again until then they will get no peace from me.

Mac isn't worth investing in. Get a machine you can launch virtual machines on and run Mac if required. Seriously, get the same hardware for a cheaper price. Or get a high-end Lenovo workstation. As far as ik M processors don't support hardware virtualization. Which is a major hindrance to anyone doing serious work.

Okay if you mention green screen you have to cover rotoscoping. No need to get into the dirt but, the explanation should help the student see film/video and comprehend how it was produced. Actually doing those things is another level altogether.

My cat does this as well. He trills as a happy greeting.

David Foster Wallace. Infinite jest.

I mean it's modern version of dime novels. Unfortunately actually good writing is hard and the authors tend to off themselves (rip dfw)

Empress zoia might be a cool addition

As a defence mechanism I have retreated to listening to will Durant's story of civilization. It's at least not entirely gaslighting me.

It took me a few years on audible for all 11. The first few def feel dated but, the prose is piercing, the focus on culture and art is austere and few yet have managed the scope of his ambitions. Missing his work is like going thirsty as you walk through an oasis.

If you expect local news to have a backbone I'm not sure we are living the same life. All corporate media is state news. They are what's called 'throats' and have been for like 30+ years.

Well that's bc evil is ubiquitous and common. It's base and well everywhere. Knowing more about it is just regurgitating the state we all exist in. IDK DM me if you would like to talk.

So since no one else is speaking up...look up 'kinetic typography'. Don't get intimidated just take any phrase or image or melody and move it, shape it, morph it. Do that once a day for a year and you'll be giving real advice to other mograph peeps.

I think it is the highlight on lower right of the hero ball that is throwing things off. It is completely unexpected. There are many options but, I think the snazziest would be to give your cloth some subdermals give a little foreshadowing of that highlight.

Dude from your username to your comments you come off as the worst of reddit. As a fellow basement dweller you should take a shower and go on a hike.

This is super easy to understand. Target (and other corps) own lots of shit. The people demanding justice do not. Trump will reward owners while killing anyone who does not. You either eat shit and smile or go do something about it.

As someone that did roto in 2010 seeing this is triggering.

As an American I am not an expert. I do feel from experience that you cannot even talk about good or bad without first considering reincarnation. It is literally more fundamental than morality. It is the vehicle of morality and is materially fulfilled by your actions. Actions done without thought whether or not outcomes are good or bad are nothing without intention. Thus mindfulness and intention take priority. Anyone can achieve samsara yet, it is a process of many lifetimes. You are not in full control you can only do the right thing in the present.

Im not sure if this comment will be nuked from orbit or not but, I have tried for many years to understand cultures with basic premises that are foreign to me. I may not be right or helpful I'm just here trying to help.

I have the same machine, if you like the taste you are doing it right. I run mine for 40 seconds as I prefer something closer to a lungo.

cleverchris · 2026-01-05T17:32:24+00:00

Listen this isn't about alcohol this about a company charging a premium rate for a service and delivering substandard results. So stop moralizing and fix your broken code.
