Rodeo,

from earlier army and student slang for venereal disease (“sexually transmitted disease”).

She didn’t want to bring home venereal disease and give it to her daughters?

Well, that’s good, I guess.

Rodeo,

Unless you’re doing any kind of precision manufacturing, then it’s decimal inch notation.

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,

It’s a little obtuse, don’t you think? Not exactly a subtle message it’s sending.

Rodeo,

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

Rodeo,

The quality of life worldwide has steadily been increasing since industrialization.

The quality of life of middle class white Americans has remained pretty much unchanged since the end of the second world war.

Im not going to get examples, but that’s what my point was.

Rodeo,

You’re talking about incomes, I was talking about quality of life.

You don’t need to convince me we’re underpaid. You would need to convince me that our quality of life is worse than our parents was, though.

Rodeo,

He’s too tall for Leia to reach to put the medal around his neck. So he just doesn’t get one.

Rodeo,

Some places have bylaws on maximum lawn height and you can actually be fined for letting it go. That’s how insane people are about lawns.

Rodeo,

We already achieved photorealistic rendering a decade ago, and we can do it in real time now. Graphics aren’t going to get much better any more. This is why 1) a wider variety of art styles has become popular, and 2) people clamor about VR being the “next step”.

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,

We existed in a different millennium.

Rodeo,

That’s a really shitty year to be born and I bet your grandfather had an intense life.
