Rodeo,

Thank god somebody got it! I was dying out here.

Rodeo,

That’s what I’m still doing now. I upgraded the RAM a couple years ago and the GPU last year, both with cheap older parts that were about $100.

The main problem I’ve run into so far is that Blender no longer runs since they only support CPUs ten years old or newer. But I don’t do that stuff anymore really anyway.

Rodeo,

Sounds like he’s figuring out the difference.

Rodeo, (edited )

How do you know that you actually figured out the meaning though?

How many words did you guess wrong about and now you think you know but you don’t actually. You’ll never know if you read the context properly without looking it up after.

Try to guess the meaning of the word lugubrious from the following sentence:

Although he was wealthy, he often found himself lugubrious.

There isn’t a single clue in that sentence as to the meaning of the word.

Don’t just guess; actually learn properly instead.

Rodeo,

Always makes me giggle like an idiot.

“This is you!” “No, this is you!”

So you consider the law to be the definition of safety?

My question was intended to get you think about the fact that laws (and speed limits) are made by people, with all their flaws and biases, and they don’t always do a good job.

Rodeo,

if it’s too low, good, drivers shouldn’t go fast. If it’s too high, fine, drivers can go fast.

Eh … What?

Rodeo,

What if the speed limit is unreasonably high or low?

Rodeo,

Sorry but it’s a black and white thing in this case, r either you’re under the speed limit and not breaking the law or you’re over the speed limit and breaking the law.

Your words make it sound like you think the speed limit is some objective truth that cannot be questioned.

Rodeo,

They must make those roofs out of discarded crusts or something to keep costs down.

Rodeo,

I can’t find it now, but there is an Existential Comic that addresses this attitude perfectly. The philosopher is talking about how he always has some form of freedom, so he gets chained to a wall in a dungeon, and then he says “at least I still have the freedom to interpret my situation!”

Rodeo,

How did you go from dating to contract law lmao

Rodeo,

And he still hasn’t arrived at Gentoo.

Rodeo,

Yeah but it’s wrong. The 1% don’t control all the companies and real estate, the billionaires do.

Rodeo,

How to save for a down payment when you can’t even afford rent?

Rodeo,

I think the word you’re looking for is “foundation” lol

fundament
noun

  1. The buttocks.
  2. The anus.
  3. The natural features of a land surface unaltered by humans.

In practice the word is almost always used in the adjective form “fundamental”, which actually refers more to a foundation than a fundament.

Rodeo,

I’ll take my 32 hour weeks every week with no 50+ hour weeks ever, thank you very much.

Never had any problems making appointments either. You either had a shitty boss or you were letting yourself be pushed around.

Rodeo,

Examples?

Rodeo,

Frugal only counts if you’re poor. Otherwise it’s just being cheap.

Rodeo,

How far does that freedom to do what you please extend? Am I not actually free because I can’t beat up people I disagree with? Personally I feel the freedom to disagree without the threat of violence is more important.

There is freedom to, and there is freedom from. Don’t undervalue freedom from.

Rodeo,

I can’t stand watching film with anybody. I shush them as soon as they start talking, even if there’s no dialogue happening. I just can’t divide my focus like that. But even worse is when people pause the movie to explain things.

Rodeo,

The powerful seal took their legs

Rodeo,

Middle class white people in America aren’t, but pretty much the entire rest of the world is.

Rodeo,

No, we literally have photorealistic rendering. It might not look real at all times but the math is true to the real world physics. That’s literally what physically based rendering is.

The limitations in real time rendering are hardware limitations now, not software. But for regular applications, PBR literally simulates individual photons. It doesn’t have a ways to go. It is already true to life and physically accurate.

But of course, even the best tools in the world can be misused by a bad artist.

Rodeo,

Everyone in this thread saying shit like that hasn’t tried Linux since 2004
