probably nobody

just that most people tend to miss it

I don't think it's about technique or experience here

It’s more about why these women are so worked up—it's like, "Oh my god, you just got me pregnant!" right in the middle of everything...

You might as well carry them around like condoms

and he can just take one after sex—that way there’s zero arguing

man

I honestly think she just ran straight into a total idiot.

The guy just doesn't know when to quit...

I actually think it's the exact opposite

People with actual experience—the kind who can take a step without overthinking it, folks who know how to pivot fast or just take a hit and keep moving—they don't really need all that empty meditation stuff

Meditation is for people struggling to get where they want to be... there could be a dozen reasons for that

Honestly, once you're over 30, you probably shouldn't even be meditating anymore... that’s a young person's game, trying to process all that incoming data... though half of them are just forcing it rather than actually learning anything

As for those over 30... if they're still sitting there meditating, they're just wasting time... go get some actual work done

I honestly don't understand what kind of nonsense is weighing on you so heavily that you'd consider ending it all. By the time I was three, my father and grandmother had already passed away, and then my mother spent two years fighting cancer before she left us. I found myself completely alone by thirty, and even then, nothing felt quite that extreme. Sure, I feel miserable and lonely sometimes—of course I do—but life keeps moving. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, or so they say.

We've been through it too, don't worry... and there's plenty more coming down the line...

and there isn't anyone to thank for it, either.

Go ahead then. Try convincing someone like that that there's even such a thing as doing it the right way.

I run into that exact scenario every single day. I put in the work, I pull my weight... then they do absolutely nothing, yet somehow I'm the bad guy.

hiddenhawk3 said:Look, I honestly think life is just one big mess. I'm still here, though. Why? I guess I don't really know. 🙂 Most people are dealing with garbage, so they just keep grinding through it; I suppose you might as well too. If everyone else can handle the struggle, maybe you can. You're going to die eventually anyway. 😛
Maybe life throws you a curveball once in a while and something actually goes right, and I guess those tiny, rare moments make staying alive worth it. 🙂 But you won't ever know if you check out early. 🙂

edit: I wouldn't go out just to spite the people who don't like you or even hate you: why let them win when you could be the one left standing? Just be a little selfish for once and stop worrying about everyone else.🙂

That's my two cents.

The sports thing—don't be so pessimistic. It sounds like people talking who haven't actually tried anything yet...

Man, Paul Smith16, crimsoncyclist14, and the rest of you... life’s definitely keeping us all busy enough...

No matter how you slice it... the whole goal is just survival.

There are plenty of speed bumps and losers surrounding us trying to hold us back... you're basically just here to weave around them.

If you check out early, all the pain vanishes pretty smoothly... but then what?

Even those people who lived through a hundred lifetimes didn't experience more than you have—and they're still six feet under, so you have to wonder who they actually lived it all for.

Honestly, once this "getting to know you" phase is over and they’ve actually finished a full feature, maybe then we can call them a pro—and sure, maybe they can move on to the next thing. But the real question is: what was the point of wasting an entire year if there’s zero ROI on that time?

I feel like we should be teaching kids from day one which paths are actually worth their time and which ones are just dead ends.

Anyway, does anyone have a ballpark figure on what an American animation studio would charge for a 100-minute film? Any idea?

Just finished up—that's how it goes. I’ve got a mountain of work over here... honestly, I'm starting to wonder if doing this all solo is even worth the hassle. You might want to check out those 10g prices when you're sitting at your computer... instead of just messing around with your mouse.

Scott Wilson48, just try Google. This thing is a total joke of a search engine

I typed in: cars

And what does the search engine give me? Sex, garden tools, and Bill Gates?

Nice engineering you guys have going on here.

Because they’re lacking the brainpower—I mean, when have you ever heard anyone call a literal dirt clod "advanced intelligence"?

How do you people actually train in this heat? This summer is honestly draining the life out of me—feels like I’ve aged ten years since June. If I were a pro athlete, I’d just pack up and move to somewhere like Seattle or Denver permanently. At least then I wouldn't feel like I'm constantly melting through my shoes.

I'm with you on that.

Total waste of time.

Who’s actually going to read all this? It’s their job to massage the facts to fit whatever narrative they’ve already cooked up anyway.

There are plenty of them out there—but they only make up about 20% of what I see. The other 80%? They lose me within five minutes flat. It’s a shame that actual technical mastery is so rare these days; nobody seems to notice when it's actually there. Most people are too busy pointing out everything that's wrong. Apparently, seeing something done technically well is just too much for them to wrap their heads around.

Maybe it's his best work... but let's be real, it's still a Hollywood movie, so it follows all those tired tropes you see everywhere. It’s pretty straightforward, too—nothing really challenges you. And the ending? Way too predictable. There aren't any big twists to keep you on your toes.

The Italian Job - zero out of ten.

Depends on whether you're looking for an ego boost. If so, then yeah—definitely. But honestly? You probably shouldn't care anyway.
