College was a fucking mess. It took me 14 years on and off to graduate and wrecked my finances.
But I fucking finished it.
Then I had trouble getting a job in my field and I worked retail for years and it sucked. But I eventually got a job at the front desk of the permit office at the city, and everything started coming together. Within 6 months I got a major promotion. A year later another, smaller city approached me, etc.
I am now making good money in a field I love. My coworkers are great, people respect me, and life is getting better all the time.
Because while I may have stalled several times, I never fucking quit.
ChatGPT is amazing. The fact that 20% of what is says is wrong just increases the adventure. Like that scene in that David Brin book where one alien race had tricked another alien race into misunderstanding science, and hence lose a key battle.
All I see are people talking about consumer apps that could be websites, but it’s a problem in the business world, too. My small business makes a service for other small businesses and all our big competitors use apps for their system while we use a web app. Some even restrict to only iOS or Android, too. It blows our potential customers’ minds when they see that ours is just a website with at least as much functionality as the competition and the ability to access it from anything.
I have no idea why anyone would do it differently as it’s WAY easier/cheaper to maintain this website than deal with app ecosystems. And there simply aren’t enough users in this space to merit data scraping like with consumer apps.
Did three years in the feds. Damn near ruined my life but I worked hard and became an essential employee at a company that was willing to hire me knowing my past.
I wanna say I’m blessed or some shit but in reality I fucked up bad paid the price then fixed it with the help of good people.
In the images for the left and right eye, they gave the vampires slightly different pupil colours. That means when you watch it in 3D, the eyes of the vampires kind of shimmer ominously. It works great because it’s only such a small detail. A larger area would be unpleasant to watch.
I’ve never seen another movie doing something innovative like that with 3D.
Edit: Here I found an example that can be viewed via crossy-eye method.
