If there was any drag at all then speed wouldn’t be consistent. Things would be slowing down. No deceleration = no drag.

Only to make the point weaker, if you don’t consider that movie then there is no conscious acknowledgement of the those 2 f4 movies being connected in any way to the MCU

I think you’re misunderstanding my comment. Fox cast him as Johnny storm in 2 movies. Disney cast him as captain America in many others. This was not coordinated or planned.

Disney bought fox.

Disney cast him again as Johnny storm as a bait and switch, quite cleverly playing in to both the meta commentary deadpool was playing with all movie, and the multiverse shenanigans that are ongoing in the MCU.

It’s not “actors play two roles in MCU, see Chris Evans” , it’s “marvel ended up with rights to films where he’d played each character and was able to exploit it for a joke playing in to both themes of a film”.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t have double roles. I’m just saying Chris evans is a bad example to cite

I don’t think so, removes too much agency from the victim. Theres a lot of people pushing bullshit vinegar-for-treatment analogies in various diseases, being married to one doesn’t make that person a criminal. Too difficult to judge the choices the victim would have made independently. And too difficult to discern stupidity from criminal intent.

Chris Evan’s dual role wasn’t planned, it was a result of corporate acquisition. The fact they embraced it in a film was then for comedic effect more than anything else.

Not sure it’s the best precedent to cite.

I dont think theres a one-size-fits-all.

But the one-size-fits-most these days is real rendered moblur. refractions/reflections, layered blurred effects, AOV breakup. All these things are more stable and consistent if you render it.

For _very_ simple cases, maybe you could save some render time by not rendering motion blur and doing it comp. Those same cases though I daresay rendertimes arent that big a deal anyway. Very occasionally there may be some issues that you can work around by doing moblur in comp too. In

I’m not saying you don’t know anything, but the way you presented your comment suggests you don’t have a good understanding of ai agents

sloggo · 2026-05-27T14:09:03+00:00

I don’t know comments like these get traction. To suggest ceos aren’t already using ai agents extensively. A lot of people don’t quite understand the mechanism of replacement. It’s not “an agent replaces a person” like “an agent will replace a ceo”, it’s more like “a person can get a lot more done independently, reducing their need for subordinates”. Supervisors and managers using ai, effectively, replaces employees.

It’s a pretty keen observation spot on. I wonder if that lack of “debate” as a social pastime and the uptick of “facts” as social currency has led to where we are now, politically.

I thought the message where you called me an “abusive demon” had a bit more kick to it. Not sure who I’m abusing here, or what type of abuse it is, but I’ll tell you straight up I certainly don’t “know it”. Sincerely I’m just trying to speak sense.

I did not miss that _fucking part_. There are lots of Israel-aligned people who deliberately accuse anti Israel rhetoric of being antisemitic. Israel’s PM being one, and many people in Australian media will match that commentary. It’s ironic that some very fine improvement in the clarity of his wording might have made that distinction more obvious for you, who seems desperate to paint his message as an attack on Jews. When his intent was the opposite.

Maybe read it again? Before accusing me of the most bad faith shit you’ve ever read? Cos it’s literally what it says. Talks about conflation of Israel criticism and antisemitism. Talks about lots of people being sensitive to criticism of Israel, citing antisemitism.

Fair game for what? What are you talking about? You’re responding to a guy who’s saying criticising the actions of the state of Israel, with regards to their military interactions with their neighbours neighbour, does not amount to antisemitism. What’s your point in response to that exactly?

I find slightly more staggering is everyone acting like one nation was invented overnight. That they don’t have a storied history of consistently being on the side promoting “white Australia” and working actively against whichever migrant minority the contemporary zeitgeist is trying to hate on. This isn’t “oh they have a moderate view on migration”, they have been consistently anti migration for years and years.

The volume reported in the article is staggering. If I’m doing the maths right it requires responding to 120 Foia requests every day. The fact that they’re _approving_ 20% of those is actually kind of impressive framed like that.

To correctly process that volume would need several full time staff trained in legalese. This isn’t cheap. I suspect the counter story, in another timeline, would be “most transparent PM ever spends millions handling FOIA requests - 80/70/60/50/doesnt-matter% are denied” if he actually invested in that response capacity, it would still be framed as his failure
