Real money is in merchandising. Demon Slayer is big out here in Taiwan.. every kid has pencils, erasers, buttons, shirts, pencil cases, backpacks.. the animators are seeing none of that money yet they are a core part of why the show is succ

Ok.. so he’s still transparent about how he won. I’m not even going to google the specifics about what happened because judo is hardly something he legitimizes his image on. He’s not “judo champion” Tim Ferris. Be that as it may, judo is pr

The fact that Ferris is completely transparent about how he won tells me that he probably doesn’t actually think of himself as a war machine. You are also underestimating Judo here, too. It’s all about grappling and throws, positioning. May

I dig the concept, just hope the utilization pans out. I’m holding out for an arm based Linux laptop which can handle Blender without too much fan noise... I would love to get a system76 laptop but I have doubts about the build quality. But

Well, sure but I’m advocating to trust your instincts in terms of their general health and well-being. Abuse or gross neglect are entirely different matters. Abusive parents are probably not going to be online doing heavy research on what i

Father here. I agree. So much of the parenting advice I see dips into micromanaging and min/maxing to an almost paranoid degree. Just learn about what could kill them in the first year and avoid that. Really, six months and under is th

I work in education. These passive aggressive kids who try to dismantle the class need to be removed from good students. People online demand that teachers be like part superhero, part hilarious talk show host they don’t realize how exhaust

I like Pixar a lot. But maybe it’s just a matter of personal taste. Letting go is a unifying theme in Up but my problem with the movie isn’t that it’s bad but that you had a table of all the guys at Pixar spitballing scene ideas and then gl

Thank you for that. I wasn’t aware they went into their production pipeline on this course. I will definitely be checking it out!

I agree about Aguirre and I’m glad you mention that because you very quickly got to the core issue I have with Pixar. They have “mastered” crowd pleasers which are marketable to any age group. That’s fine- but artistic vision is also so cru

Around the time of Wall-E and The Incredibles, I was very much a fan of their work and felt like they could do no wrong. Now I’m not so sure- I did love Coco but they have been absorbed by Disney at this point and are satisfying investors.

I feel that Pixar’s mastery of storytelling is overrated. Coco was lovely but I find their movies to be needlessly sad and curiously episodic in form. In “UP”, each sequence was very well crafted but they fit together randomly as though eac

Andrei Rublev is just a mighty movie. As in as good as movies get. The church bell sequence alone: I was literally relieved for that kid.

Totally agree with this. My parents were good in some ways but in terms of anything related to academics they were both in the negative. They never helped me with my homework even a single time growing up.. homeschooling with them would hav

No, it’s an excellent novel. I do think it’s a little overrated, but mediocre would be a silly take on it. It’s highly regarded for a reason. For sure there are greater American novels..

Your response begs the question wether you work for a patent troll. Not seriously suggesting that, but come on: 1. They are user hostile. They add no value to the world. Only hinder technology and make life worse for the public. 2. Has any

I think there is some truth to this but I wouldn’t argue to keep a day job as a writer. The vast majority of recording artists are never able to match the music they recorded in their 20’s. I’ve commented on that before here so I won’t get

As someone who grew up around serious criminals, this number is far lower than what you’d see in North America and shows that Norway at least makes some progress. X/5 convicts return to crime because it is all they know and their peer

Nah, Taiwanese people view the masks as protection against germs and pollution. I understand the context of suggesting they are obedient but I still disagree with that. Chalking it up to obedience in a way takes agency from them- they choos

I live in Taiwan.. I’m grateful to be living here during Covid. Taiwanese people aren’t obedient. You should see how they drive. They wear masks without flaking out about it as slavery or being against their will or whatever nonsense you gu

I’m looking at getting a Cintiq to go along with Blender but they are pricey. I used to own a very nice Samsung tablet.. great screen but that’s it. I really don’t like any tweaking or UI window dressing which Samsung placed on top of andro

I think Rocky is good. CockroachDB on the other hand is an awful name. Cockroaches are only associated with filth and are revolting to most people. Plus, you got that cock in the name which isn’t helping matters. You might think it’s obnoxi

For a medium that is dependent on technology I’d say it’s impressive for any old movie to stand the test of time. I love old movies and I’m always impressed with their resourcefulness and heart. My favourite film is Seven Samurai but I sinc

Actually, I’m mostly commenting on this notion that good looking people give bad dating advice because they are playing the game on easy mode and their insight would be meaningless to below average looking people. Here’s an analogy: If you

Girls love tall guys. This is true. I’m also willing to bet that your tall mute friend is more attractive than you probably realize. Being tall for all I care could be the male version of having big boobs. This doesn’t change anything about

I’m reasonably good looking, but I’m really into weightlifting so I guess that’s why women will approach me first sometimes. There are genetic limits to strength but fitness and being in shape are psychologically attractive to women. A lot

The fractals are typical, for me, of the onset of the rising peak of a mild to moderate dose which is actually just about perfect for a recreational experience with friends or a party. Moving your hand should produce a hazy trail of after i
