Good thing no American political commentator writes blogs or editorials with nazi-adjacent language. If that ever happens, it would certainly be appropriate to punish our collective nation.

can't believe I'm stuck here, with the highest historical standard of living in all of earth's existence, surrounded by conveniences that even kings did not have a few centuries ago, in a country which still has one of the highest standards of living on earth, is not ravaged by war or famine, has stores overflowing with such abundance that most visitors from other countries are still aghast at the excess of the average grocery store, all while enjoying high speed internet and every possible kind of entertainment imaginable, but with an elected leader who's a big meanie that gives me a frowny face

That last part ruined it.

I think copycats will have a much more difficult time, but if someone wants you dead in America it's not hard. We had one near Presidential assassination and even with a full security detail, yeah you will get caught after the fact but there's opportunity to, ahem, 'shoot your shot'. Particularly if we are speaking strictly about CEO's; its a pretty public facing job all things considered like shareholder meetings where quite often anyone who has a 'share' can show up.

And with this support I do think copycats are now incentivized.

That said back to your main point if more killings happen 100% agree it's going to be anything but corporate reform, eventually it will fossilize into general 'anti-crime' propaganda. If there are ultimately others where the motivation is corporate misdoings it takes one imperfect murderer (a non cis good looking white dude who's currently seen as apolitical) or a too perfect victim ("She spoke at congress! She was trying to change the system from inside her 20 million dollar penthouse") and all this gets forgotten.

dat copaganda of people not generally wanting street executions being widespread

"No, no, those OTHER countries commit genocide, Israel is just killing everyone around them that doesn't look, act, and think like them, particularly people of a specific description, it's different".

Is funny that shoot and Hamas squad are evading anything about Syria, except this.

So they care or not about having any possibility of getting Netanyahu to trial (as minimal as it is), because they admit shit is fucked up with either Trump or Biden, but keep posting like Trump gives a fuck.

Bit weird how israel ignore the international community because they think they're being unfairly singled out, innit?

[Boredfrom]

The shooter thread is getting specially vile again:

Rich people are acting like this is the first murder in america lol

It's like the reaction to "cancel culture", they don't think they should be accountable for anything.

Their already have their own justice system and everything.

I usually don’t associate “cancel culture” with cold-blooded murder… but okay, man child rocking that Big Hero 6 avatar.

the point is that his presence doesn't invalidate all of what came before

he will pass as he did before

[Boredfrom]

This publicized large-scale and intense manhunt alongside the admonishment of the assassination without remotely engaging with the root cause of resentment is truly surreal to watch. To me, all it is doing is reinforcing what the ruling class and the complicit media are trying to avoid.

That said, given the lack of knowledge about this individual it feels weird to see all this hero worship. To be clear I completely understand why the CEO (who from what I've been reading is an absolute piece of work just like UHC itself) was put 6' deep, but the whole deal surrounding the shooter especially the admiration of the more superficial aspects of him seem a bit jarring.

Is like both things are related.  

Superficial readings and easy targets.

More outta touch folks.

How can these guys not read the room?

Again, not endorsing the act at all, but these reads are so bad.

The entire press class is completely washed. They're used to their amazing healthcare it seems.

This is so infuriating and awful to read.

One question I have, as a non-American: in a case like this where essential treatment is denied coverage, is the actual treatment denied by the hospital/medical professional too? Could the patient pay for it themselves? I know they'd probably bankrupt themselves due to the insane costs, mind you. But just wondering if that's even possible.

Yes, unlike the government plans these retards endorse, where if the panels say no you are fucked. Weird how that works.

Tf are you talking about with this? I've got like 3 posts in these threads and one was about the hit being like a movie. If you wanna engage with someone in good faith then don't put words in their mouth, don't make assumptions about them, and don't make up bullshit.


…

You don't speak for our people.. You don't run this shit. We didn't get unchained to be shackled with one mindset. You don't speak for us, PERIOD.

Very late to this but imagine the amount of likes this would get if they implemented a like system. Then watch the extremist pout and ban everyone who liked it. Mass chaos ensues as others wonder what they all got banned for

I've animated in 2D for most of my career.

It's not tedious or morale-sapping. ><

It's a process. It takes time and sometimes finesse, but if you can draw (which is a basic prerequisite for working in animation in any capacity), you can easily follow that process.

If anything, in some ways it's easier than CGI because you fundamentally have easier control over the lines of action and posing with a drawing, whereas with even a good model it can be a challenge in and of itself to get that same level of exaggeration.

Y'all need to stop making art sound like a horrible endeavor to undertake.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/jon-stewart-criticizes-the-us-medias-coverage-of-the-upcoming-trump-administration.1054482/page-2#post-132594369

I've noticed that for everyone being like but the whole podcast, episode but Bernie, that they actually don't have a response to this specific garbage take , just that they don't want people to think about it.

Because the take you quoted is bullshit, like seriously, gain some basic media literacy skills and watch the actual podcast and delineate tone and context on your own terms if you are actually capable.

You came across someone lazily writing about a 45 second statement that took a stream of consciousness statement about the uncertainty of this moment and the media doing what they always do which is focusing on the most sensationalist angle and Stewart cautioned against people following suit into catastrophizing on the medias terms as a bridge to bringing on Sanders where they spent the next 58 minutes discussing how to respond to Trump, how address the underlying conditions of Americans anger, how to address our political systems corruption and moneyed capture, what policies and reforms could make people regain faith in government, how to improve labor conditions for the working class, how to get Democrats to value the norms that matter but push past the ones that don't to help actually pass their agendas, and the ways that people can stand up for workers and continually expose Trump's hypocrisy.

But by all means, go on and offer your alternative perspective on these issues if you are so fucking offended by the takes of Bernie and Stewart.

I actually would fucking love to hear what your advice is for everything they spoke about, if you can actually recall what it is their discussion entailed since you are so fucking confident in your takes. Like please, summarize their points and tell me why it is they are wrong substantively and what you propose as an alternative. And not just on the first 45 seconds but the entire fucking conversation. Like I would be very curious what it is exactly you disagree with on their criticisms of the failures of incrementalism and the failures of securing healthcare rights as a starting point for this conversation.

Now for Exel to sulk and not post for another 8 months when nobody comes to defend her.

I'm disgusted to find out that military entertainment complex shows such little respect for the well being of humans, like voice actors.

There's a fine line of taking resetera and Nep's socialist cosplay seriously and ill admit i sometimes forget she's an upper class furry with a tesla driving brother amd just get mad cuz of the aggressive word salad.

But, as a liberal arts major myself, I think she should let her freak flag fly. I'd give her the dilznick if we were both drunk. I'm a healer overall.

this isn't fucking true at all

I know a guy who loves animation, can't draw to save his life but just loves the idea, how it works, the process, the techniques and tech behind it, all of that

he got a degree in animation from a university, he did all kinds of work along the way that I got to see, recorded himself moving around to re-animate later, took audio and made animation to go with it

these days a lot of it is just using a well-rigged existing model, everything is compartmentalized, let the 3D guys deal with the art and rigging and let the animators work with the realistic motion

I've been shit posting in four dimensions for all of my career 

It's not difficult, or overbearing. You've just got to do the work fast and spend the rest of the day on the internet.

I think that's also one big reason why the big movie studios have all pivoted to 3D. Not because it's necessarily cheaper or easier but because it's faster. With a 3D environment it's much simpler to have multiple people work on the same scene than it is with 2D. Have the animation guy just focus on the animation while the art guy can work on the model as much as he wants. Meanwhile the environment artists can also already work completely freely. A lot of it will go faster the more guys you throw at it. With 2D art that gets more complicated.  Studio Ghibli's The Boy and the Heron was actually downright cheap compared to Inside Out 2 but drawing it also took like 5 years.

Why does that suck? The Leaf has been an important part of advancing the electrification of cars and is still a very good option today. It would be terrible to lose it.

Just... no, it wasn't important to advancing electrification of cars and its a fucking horrendous option today. The plug installed in a new 2024 Nissan Leaf today is being removed from all public chargers nationwide because they're the only car that uses it. 650K sales WW in 13 years on the market too, horrendous.

Why do these people speak authoritatively on things they know fuckall about?

Used to work in a shared office. The guy who rented the space to us was some auld fart who had a middling IT company. Used to charge his shite little nissan leaf by plugging it into the sockets in the kitchen and running the cable out the window.

I've recently got an EV (Kona) and tbh I like it a lot. I only got it because it was a good deal but absolutely fuck queueing up for petrol in the year of our lord 2024.

[benji]

It's less about fearing change and more just not wanting better outcomes because then undesirable people might get something they don't deserve. And this latent attitude further evolves into an inability to question systemic and social violence.

Basically, if we could still write laws segregating Black people from public infrastructure, we literally would've had universal healthcare decades ago.

We are a bigoted, petty-ass nation and a lot of that attitude has been internalized as well by the very minorities it targets. See this thread for proof of that.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/photos-showing-face-of-man-sought-in-killing-of-insurance-c-e-o-focus-manhunt.1052907/page-25#post-132602229

So why didn't universal health care pass in those years when Black people actually were literally segregated from public infrastructure? Those multiple Presidents who pushed for it didn't organize enough?

This publicized large-scale and intense manhunt alongside the admonishment of the assassination without remotely engaging with the root cause of resentment is truly surreal to watch. To me, all it is doing is reinforcing what the ruling class and the complicit media are trying to avoid.

Because one thing is easily addressable and the other is not? As evidenced by how you clearly described one solution and the other was only nebulously and vaguely handwaved at without any form of elaboration.
