@kianamaiart definitely depends on the type and quality of animation but id probably say between 100k and 400k for an independent project, and 250k to 1M for a large production

curious how much money audiences thinks it takes to produce one 11 minute animated episode of something (where everyone is paid a decent wage)

@Jesse_T_White @ChristianHeiens If you massively expand the house, at some point individual voices no longer have sway and the only ones with real power will be the party leaders.

@guyinhoney @ChristianHeiens Ban on gerrymandering and uncap the House. Every district has an average of 250,000 residents.

We are heading towards a future where something like this becomes what a narrow GOP majority in Congress looks like in 10 years.* Extreme geographic polarization on a scale America has not seen in over a century and a half. *Nevermind that the 2030 census will gut multiple Blue states.

@hooah_mac @ChristianHeiens Virginia's current map that the democrats are trying to replace was made by an independent committee and it's as fair as it possibly could be, 5-6 in a purple state. It's clearly possible to have independent committees. Some will not be perfect and that's why we have the courts

@guyinhoney @ChristianHeiens "Independent" redistricting committees are just Democrats with no election consequences.

@rationalthink3r @ChristianHeiens Non-contiguous districts are uncommon and already banned in 23 states. Banning it doesn't prevent gerrymandering. Also, districts are by definition roughly equal size in population, so I don't know what you mean by making them between X-Y thousands of citizens.

@guyinhoney @ChristianHeiens That will make no difference. Beaurocracy for beaurocracy sake. Instead congress should pass a law stating districts must be between X-Y thousands of citizens and contiguous/not broken up by other districts. This enforces basic requirements w/o central authority

@CuriosityonX why did bro do that

This single-celled protozoan passing though another one under a microscope

Why does bdubs look so small in this stream clip?

@thegrayfruit 287.7 hours and I only have 1 achievement.

drop your most ridiculous steam play time stats, not the highest number of hours but the games seemingly least deserving of that amount of playtime. I'll start with my 386 hours in 4-hour long story based puzzle game Portal

@UncleCheeki @IterIntellectus This is a model trained only data from 1930 or earlier, it doesn't know what a modern woman is

@IterIntellectus now describe the average modern woman to it and see how that changes the output

they don't make sensitive young men like they used to

@Grampagohan2009 @kidomaki_real Kidomaki should do that

@guyinhoney @kidomaki_real The world isn't real. You can literally just write a different scene

What I mean when I say the Avatar writers can't powerscale. Aang is able to move so fast that he's barely visible to the naked eye, yet for some reason, a powerless Azula is able to outrun him. It's so blatantly contrived when you realize that he's keeping pace with Toph and Sokka when he's much faster than them. Poorly written sequence that breaks the powersystem, just to gas Azula.

@Techrickal Did you get this one?

@guyinhoney Pretty sure that'll just be an additional 9+1=10

They're saying right to 17 😭 It's 30 btw

@diandrasdiandra I just googled what Meg is short for and their dumbfuck AI told me it most commonly stands for magnetoencephalography

meg to peg like its a natural progression when it's not. even margaret to meg is barely plausible

@riwalk712 @MercuriusFilius Nailed it.

@MercuriusFilius > 50% If you add the qualifier that it becomes exactly full at 60 minutes, then you can say that it was exactly 50% full at 59 minutes.

How would you answer this common J.P. Morgan interview question?

@Romy_Holland Either that or the friend group has one person who is really annoying to at least half the group, but is besties with the person who is the most extroverted and does the most work to organize social activities, so the annoying person always gets invited.

in every friend group i’ve been in there’s been at least one person who most ppl at least slightly dislike and who is not close friends with anyone but ends up invited to all sufficiently large group events. these ppl all have the shared quality of trying really hard to be friendly and consistently showing up to everything.

@GrimnirsThegn @TheEbonyMaw I think it depends on the religions. If they're compatible such that neither partner thinks the other is going to be doomed to eternal punishment, I think it can work out.

@TheEbonyMaw My intuition is that it would actually be much easier for two people with contradictory religions to be married without major issues than for a religious person and an atheist.

I gotta be honest, I don’t think this woman is doing anything wrong asking this question (outside of asking Reddit of all places), especially since the answer to her question is almost certainly “yes”.

@kidomaki_real You don't know about the magic wand.

@kidomaki_real Ah, I forgot about the magic wand they can wave that instantly makes the story better. They should have just used that magic wand, duh.

No, it would've been better with better/consistent writing. They created the situation in the first place. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't exist. By your logic, nothing needs to make sense, even within the confines of an established universe. I know you don't actually believe that since you critique other movies/shows.

@RobertMSterling This makes a lot of sense from an employee motivation standpoint. Some high level employees would probably get complacent and lazy if you didn't keep their toes in the fire by withholding a big chunk of their pay for most of the year

There’s a simple reason why 40% of people making $500k+ live paycheck to paycheck. And it’s not their spending habits. It’s because of annual bonuses. A lot of people in this income bracket work in finance, law, or executive roles. For people like this, base salaries are often a relatively low $200-250k (before you dunk on me, note the word “relative”!), with the remainder of annual compensation paid through lump-sum performance bonuses in January or February. Because these people make a lot of money *across a full calendar year* but don’t take home nearly as much for 23 out of their 24 paychecks, they often live paycheck to paycheck most of the year—breaking even or even burning more than they earn—but top of their savings and investment accounts in a singular lump sum every bonus season. So, no, most of them are not “living paycheck to paycheck” in any traditional sense of the term. They’re maxing out their 401k accounts, funding large amounts into savings and brokerage accounts, and growing their net worth every year. They’re just not doing it uniformly across every paycheck throughout the year.
