@Stella_Hoshii You should hate over reliance on CGI for that too.

The most obvious reason I don’t like AI is that, when I was a kid, I loved watching behind-the-scenes videos about how horror movies and paranormal videos were made. And now, what scares me most is the thought that I might never get to see them again.

@MezzanineOline @newmetrohaven Yeah but I never gave a damn about superhero comics even as a child. In fact, I kinda hated them, because they so thoroughly dominated the American comics market and I was glad to see them give way to more experimental stuff in the 90s. So Moore's whole experience is alien to me.

@JustinSadur @newmetrohaven It’s not really neurosis if he’s right lol. You guys forget he was there in the “golden age” of comics and was side by side with the best and the worst of comic book fans. It’s easy to be dismissive now but back then they were genuine freaks

@AnimeSerbia Apu was holding back the floodgates.

If only we knew what was behind door number two when it came to how people will stereotype indians

@Lazuris_Horizon @SenatorLuma

@SenatorLuma isn't this the woke riddler "gender me this" guy

didn’t this guy use to make comics about like. demons and shit. what the fuck happened

@doberes Very Dali coded.

@thesoggyblanket I did the cliche thing and ended up being a graphic designer. I really tried to be an animator, and I worked a couple of studios, but that industry is a wasteland right now.

does anyone know how to make a living as an artist

@Bernstein Trying to enjoy a beer while screaming pundits melt your brain with doom-mongering. Sounds great!

Ever since the courts forced McSorley’s to start serving women in 1970, straight men have been trying to figure out how to build a bar no woman will ever set foot inside. And now it exists.

@Builtahouse Does an office supply store count?

don't comment on the dinergoth article unless you worked in a grocery store in the bible belt where your trans coworker introduced you to jujutusu kaisen, the opener lived in a sephiroth hoodie, & the 20 year-old manager said she worshipped Aphrodite, before leaving abruptly ✌️

@GKunstwerk @vxunderground What an oddly perfect gif.

@vxunderground Tick tock, John Strawberry. We know it's really you

Dawg, like, 8 months ago this dude randomly knocks on my door and he's like, "are you John Strawberry?" (not the actual name he said). I'm like, "....No?" and he's like, "Well, do you know where he is or how to find him?" I reply, "I have no idea who that is, sorry." and then I go on about my business and I forget about it. Bro shows up again a few months later knocking on my door asking for John Strawberry. This time my wife answered the door and he's yapping about how he has to return something really important to him. My wife is like "??? Who the FUCK is John Strawberry ???" Fast forward, this whacko shows up AGAIN. This time he parks outside my house. He knocks on the door. He says his car broke down and he needs help. I'm like, "weren't you the dude asking for John Strawberry?" and he's like, "Oh, do you know John Strawberry? How can I contact him?" I'm like ??? This dude drives by my house now AT LEAST once a week. He rolls by real slow and takes a look and then leaves. Then the police show up asking for John Strawberry. They say they have a warrant out for his arrest and my home was listed as last known good address. DAMN YOU JOHN STRAWBERRY

@hellosami @Aruguhri One in seven?!?

@Aruguhri it's certainly possible! I don't think they get chromebooks at this age, and something like 1 in 7 children in NYC public schools are unhoused :(

I started teaching 4th graders graphic design at an afterschool program, and this one kid does not engage with any of the material, but he comes into class and furiously googles the Titanic for an hour every week

@nonamesleft24 @wormboybuck @SatoruBuckley In some places they lock.

@wormboybuck @SatoruBuckley As a non American it seems wild. Anyone can just go up and open it? So when you have something sensitive or important or a new card sent to you it's just left out there for anyone? Surely that makes identity theft so easy lmao

crying

@tenobrus There's a problem with your premise. I work in an office job with a bunch of middle-aged people and people pushing middle age, and everybody is still watching anime, marvel movies, whatever else is popular at the moment. I think that's just culture now.

now this starts to feel like more interesting commentary to me. at white collar jobs there's a lot of implicit pressure to grow the fuck up, because you're exposed to peers who manifestly have their shit together. used to be lower class people would have a kid and community members would push them to get their shit together too. older coworkers even at dead end jobs, church and other local communities, etc. but if these days the 27 yo teenagers working retail aren't having kids and basically have no older peers with their shit together in any meaningful way, what incentive do they have to do anything but keep watching the same anime in discord calls? who are you feeling social pressure from?

@Innogen06996084 @yifever You're surprised? I could not have come up with a reply better designed to destroy someone's self-worth if I had an entire research facility dedicated to designing insults, and you're surprised?!

@yifever I'm surprised so many people are hurt by such a response this kind of expression is commonplace on Chinese social media man do the same

holy shit chinese people have zero filter

@Hannibus42 @auditurestudios @stockpiledclay Not really

@JustinSadur @auditurestudios @stockpiledclay Would this make it funnier for you?

It’s silly as hell, but “Duncan Idaho” is great worldbuilding. Words from the old world remain but they’ve been shuffled around so much they’ve lost all original meaning. No one in the Dune universe (without genetic memories) knows how funny “Duncan Idaho” is and that’s the point

@pantostado3333 Yeah. So by necessity and in all likelihood those would be HER ancestors.

@JustinSadur Why don't you google how spanish colonization was different from british colonization so you can stop sounding like a stereotypically ignorant american. Most mexicans are mestizo meaning mixed, meaning the result of r*pe, a caste system and an attempted cultural g*nocide

One time in a taxi in Spain the spanish driver apologized to my family for what his ancestors did to mexico and we spent the rest of the ride like this

@LASHYBILLS Just skip the in-between steps and inject me with e. coli.

A homeless Atlanta man's restaurant, "Nasty Azz Cheeseburger", has been removed from DoorDash after countless users reported it over food safety concerns.

@eternalfamilytv I have genuinely never seen anything animated in a style like this.

The Tale of the Priest and of His Workman Balda (1933, 2min) Streaming for Family Members on Eternal.TV & Apps. A mostly lost Soviet stop-motion version of this classic fairytale. The only surviving scene is called Bazaar. Directed by Mikhail Tsekhanovskiy & Vera Tsekhanovskaya.

@TemooTitan Some poor confused soul in there trying to do his laundry.

this what i expect when someone tells me they know a spot

@iconawrites I was 35 before I became happy with my drawing ability.

A professional illustrator I admire a lot once told me, “The only people who get good at art are those who are willing to be absolutely, shockingly dreadful for a long time, and keep trying.”
