    You can do southpark style animations with adobe after effects. It's basically photoshop, but with a timeline. $49/month for the full adobe suite, which gives you photoshop, audio editing, and a dozen other software programs you'll never use. I'm sure there's a month long free trial and a tons of tutorials on youtube.It isn't traditional animation, but it's a way to tell an animated story without drawing 1000's of frames. Here's a couple of interesting animations created with after effects...

    UCF stands in your yard and says, 'come out and fight us then.' Florida says. "We'd fight you, but uh...um...we don't want you to make any money. Yeah, that's it." Florida/SEC writes another press release bout how UCF has a bad SoS. Fucking cowards.

    Herbstreit is the voice of ESPN/SEC incorporated. Almost everything he says is being read off a script prepared by ESPN's department of narrative control. ESPN/SEC Incorporated probably wrote that for Herbstreit and he gladly signed his name on it. That's his job, after all. I'm guessing that 'article' means the SEC is upset that their business partners, ESPN, couldn't get 2 SEC teams into the four team, postseason invitational this year. I see it as ESPN's apology to the SEC, for only excluding 2 P5 conferences, instead of 3. I'm sure they'll do better next year.

    Happy! Season 2

    Monster replied to RPM's topic in Movies and TV

    First one was super fun and dark. Really looking forward to this.

    Fair enough, mom. *mumbles about the previous three or four comments on the same subject not getting flagged *kicks rock

    This is true, with the caveat that there is a religion i n the US that is virtually illegal to satirize. But everyone else is fair game, so your point is valid. Satanists will have to take it on the chin...or start their own anti-defamation league.

    I watched about 3 episodes with full concentration, then another 2 with half concentration, before concluding that this was a show aimed at teenage girls who are into goth stuff and gave up. Might try again later, if the last episodes are supposedly good.

    Real migraines, as opposed to 'not-getting-fired' migraines, are like having the worst hangover you've ever had. It may not kill you, but you kinda wish you were dead. It's a significant impairment and could definitely lead to mistakes while operating heavy machinery.

    Do you ride a coal powered train to your roadside blacksmithing hut every day? Shaking your fist at the 'futuristic' cars zooming by. "Slow down, you idiot kids!"

    Seems like I remember Urban telling the board of directors he wouldn't apologize, or wouldn't accept punishment, or something to that effect, at the start of the season. Tip of the hat to the admins who weathered criticism for a few weeks, while fully intending to fire the guy at a time of their choosing. Urban had to know it was coming, which explains the brain cloud/cysts and conspicuous temple-rubbing/migraine pain on the sidelines.

    As a fan of college football, I hope tons of players sit out. The more the better. It can only contribute to the demise of this 19th century, exhibition-game post-season that's preventing the best sport in the world from having a legitimate playoff tournament and legitimate national champion at the end of the year. I know, 6-6 teams will no longer be able to .500 their way into the Puxatony weedeater bowl, played in front of dozens of fans, but that's the price we must pay. Boycott the bowls, kids. Do it for yourself, but more importantly, do it for millions of fans who deserve a real playoff at the end of college football seasons.

    Green lights from the Trump administration "A number of these new wells will be fracked – the first use of this technique in the Arctic. One or more of the oil-bearing rock units at sites being explored on the North Slope have low permeability, meaning that oil can't flow within them very well or at all. Company engineers expect that hydraulic fracturing will be able to free such oil so it can be produced. Such has been the result for other shales and low-permeability reservoirs in places like North Dakota and Texas." Article was posted in April, 2017 https://phys.org/news/2017-04-fracking-arctic-alaska-oil-boom.html#jCp Just started fracking last year, looks like.

    Didn't they start a fracking boom up there last year? Seems like I remember reading something about that. After the fracking boom in Oklahoma in 2011, whereupon OK went from 3 smallish Earthquakes a year to 600 earthquakes a year, I'm always curious to see if these big earthquakes are in areas where fracking is going on...or is in a boom phase.

    Horns Down

    Monster replied to Helobious's topic in Football

    If something bothers you, you probably shouldn't let 'the public' know about it. Because if you tell people what bothers you, you've guaranteed they'll do that exact thing every time you see them. Inflicting psychological trauma is a core function of human beings. Big 12 may have outlawed the gesture on the field, but I'd expect a tenfold increase in 'horns down' sightings everywhere else.

    Only one more game with Corndog. One. more. game.

    To think everyone in 'society' will react the same way to physical punishment is simple-minded. Just like it'd be simple-minded for me to think that giving kids a lot of love and attention during their developmental years, and patiently explaining how and why their mistakes are harmful, will magically turn 100% of children into productive, happy adults. My question is this--if spanking is such a great disciplinary tool, why would a parent ever stop spanking his/her kids? Why not keep spanking them as young adults? Why don't bosses spank their employees when they fuck up at their jobs?
  19. Monster
    Gets tougher when they aren't half your size and are big enough to defend themselves from a beating, I'd guess. Most effective discipline my parents ever doled out was when i stole a candy bar from a convenience store. I wasn't allowed to play basketball on the school team for 2 weeks. Longest two weeks of my preteen life. Never stole another candy bar. Try taking away privileges. That's what you do when they're older and you can't manhandle them anymore, right?
  20. Monster
    This is false. You do realize there are 'forms of discipline' that don't involve physically striking a someone, right? But if beating your kids is the only way you know how to teach a lesson, then hammer away! And when your kids become adults and move out and stop returning your phone calls, and never come to visit, you can just pour another glass of whiskey and mutter about ingratitude until you pass out every night. I would suggest you arrange a cleaning service once a week, or some other weekly visitation, because if you don't, and you do inevitably die embittered and alone--it's going to be two or three weeks before anybody finds your rotting corpse on the couch.

    Got hit with a belt as a child. It taught me two things. 1. Avoid my 6'4"-260 lb father at all times. Because he might get mad about something and hit me with a fucking belt. 2. If I fucked up, I should definitely lie and cover it up, to avoid getting hit with a fucking belt.

    UCF

    Monster replied to FondrenRoad's topic in Football

    Except this isn't about lowly UCF and their 'shitty schedule'. it's about the 85+ universities with division I football programs, that UCF represents. And it's about a 'playoff' system that grants huge money prizes and national advertising opportunities to its secretly selected participants. I guess we will see if it makes fiscal sense to exclude 85-90 universities from those cash rewards and advertising opportunities. I would guess, having lived in 'murica for some time, that there might be one or two powerful alumni/administrators, within the landscape of 85-90 colleges and universities, who might not like being locked outside gates in perpetuity.

    UCF

    Monster replied to FondrenRoad's topic in Football

    UCF beat Pittsburgh by 31 points. Pittsburgh is going to play in the ACC championship game. That's as direct a comparison as you can get. The idea that UCF could never survive a P5 schedule filled with teams like NC State, Duke, Wake Forest, Syracuse...well, let's look it. Your toughest games (this year) are against Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Boston College....you beat Pittsburgh by 31 points. Are Boston College and Syracuse THAT much better than Cincinnati and South Florida? Where does the 'grind' part of an ACC schedule kick in? Duke? Wake Forest? Georgia Tech? (They are trying to schedule as many ACC teams as they can, to prove this exact point...but the NC game got PPD) Would UCF go undefeated in the big 10/big 12/SEC? No chance. Could this year's UCF go undefeated in the ACC (If they swapped in for Clemson)? It could happen.

    UCF

    Monster replied to FondrenRoad's topic in Football

    If UCF has Clemson's schedule, who is going to give them a loss? Who in the ACC (Power 5!) conference gives UCF a loss this year? Reminder: UCF already beat Pittsburgh by 31 points this year. Pittsburgh is 6-1 in the ACC.

    The first one was fantastic. Reminded me of a live-action bugs bunny cartoon. Song were great, dialogue was amazing, and the ending was fun. Wished it was a full movie. Others were solid, but first one was brilliant.
