I saw a similar statistic the other day, 1 in 4 people are disabled. Anything past 1 in 2000 should be questionable and looked into, so I did. They were including things like glasses, or allergies.

Same with Autism. They specifically asked a group that would have a high autistic percentage like engineers. What's the difference between autism and an engineer? The degree. Then they expanded the definition to the point of ridiculousness. Do you have a shopping list? Autism.

At no point do we have good things like a really good memory, or being ambidextrous. If it's 1 in 4 autism, then it should also be 1 in 4 gifted of a similar fashion. We don't even know what to call it. If it even gets noticed, they add it to the autism definition.

Without even realizing it, you just gave the reason why Nintendo is so hard on emulators. They intend to stop competition from using their own game to make money. Meanwhile the Mother3 translation has been available for decades.

The movie that the Emperor's New Groove came from was mostly finished before an executive told them to restart again. They still have everything for that movie. With a bit of AI for the inbetweens, and 30 guys for color, you could have it ready in two months.

I realized that while I was still living in Seattle. I've told one of the old animators about it, and he laughed pretty bitterly about it.

I have so many articles about Adobe proclaiming ethical AI and then doing this. It's very obvious they want control of the info, not the actual ethics they proclaim.

Yeah, that's the problem. We have the fake internet theory, but has anyone realized most of entertainment is this way?

WB is not one to talk. They are being sold for pennies right now.

I've enjoyed the more modern ones. The Train Sentai were hilarious.

Can you archive those? That looks important to add to my source lists.

It's not open source, but Rhino is a great resource if a bit clunky.

You need 3-4 mods to get blender to sort of work like Revit. I really hate that.

While in a class on Terrorism, we did a one day study of this group. The professor had tons of sources and info since he was a kid who grew up in the office that investigated them.

It's weird to watch when you're from Seattle. The schools do exist like that, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky during the entire film.

I think it's because it's actually a retelling of Taming of the Shrew.

There's always a film or two that are good even if you hate the genre. I can't figure out why I like 10 Things I Hate About you, but I do.

I get really sick of the noble savage idea. Most cultures have a learning curve for new technology. They will screw up before they get better. Sort of like a 12 year old in puberty.

So then the academics say we shouldn't let them have it at all. Their primitive ways are speciali, while mine are not. It's deifying a false notion of existence, then thrusting it on people who don't want it.

That's the only good thing that came from that show.
