Now that’s a zing I can get behind.

“full transparency” doesn’t excuse behavior that leverages power dynamics involving authority, fame, money, or age (or other imbalances in status)

aim your rage at your therapist, who is paid to help you learn that well adjusted people don’t aim their rage at anybody

1-8 million is a (imprecise) big range so I would take that back of the napkin number in the context it was offered in: a casually tossed off tweet from a different studio, where accuracy and precision isn’t germane to the point - there is motivation to make the number sound impressive.

“performing the facial mocap without actually performing the hug and then merging it with the capture of the hug”

Absolutely. I don’t run reds because the consequences for doing so seem so much more severe than me. (I mean, it really comes down to - I like not killing people.) It’s extremely easy to assign blame on somebody who runs a red - you’re physically where you should not be. Whether the extra 10kph over the limit you were…

Thanks, that means a lot to me that I’m not just only making sense to myself :D I certainly enjoy the intellectual exercise of trying to support a point I believe is supportable.

Well, from the sounds of their business, you wanted to play songs they couldn’t (or could not afford) to play, so either nothing shows up for your search and you leave, or you end up liking what they suggest to you instead. That’s a user experience trying to make the most of out of a lacking product - I wouldn’t…

I mean, I do think that. It’s not about the fine to me, it’s about the perceived severity of the infraction. One is going faster than you should, the other is totally ignoring an indication of who has the right of way. Granted a stop light that’s not at an intersection but the perception is the same to me simply by…

I know all kinds of rich people who ride transit here in Toronto. (I’m one of them.) The world is a lot bigger than you think, man. Many Americans (but certainly not all) tend to have this impression that they know how things are like elsewhere. I’m kind of embarrassed for you.

I go over the speed limit fairly regularly but running a red seems like a significantly more severe infraction to me. I’ve never run a red in my entire life. I would absolutely stop for this thing but I don’t always slow down for speed indicator signs.

Actually, they were protesting the fact that H.R. 4792 (Small Business Access to Capital After a Natural Disaster Act) passed in the House of Representatives. Common misunderstanding, though.

You sound like somebody who’s said the words “the problem with America” about 36 times in response to 43 different things in the last 24 hours.

Against the context of the rest of my post - which clearly fell on the side of empathy, a category 5 banned emotion in certain parts of the US it would seem based on some replies - I’m not sure how it could possibly not be recognized as sarcasm and yet here we are. :)

Right after you look up the definition of ostensible.

“Even today governments tacitly admit the nonsense of such an idea, as every single copyright eventually expires.”

I agree! For instance, you probably have things a little tougher than others as you’ve never learned to read! Good for you for making something of yourself, though.

I wouldn’t use the word victim here - these people bear responsibility for their actions - but people can commit crimes, and still be products of their economic and social conditions. Here’s a cool trick: you can be angry at and empathize with a person or group of people at the exact same time.

That’s not a riot, that’s a failure of civic institution (or a success of systematic disenfranchisement I suppose.) I would argue riots have ostensible political causes or goals. This is what it looks like when communities and their constituent families don’t have time or money to raise kids, nor institutions to…
