It’s the topology of the object. Essentially flatten the object into a 2 dimensional plane. Something like a mug or donut will have a hole in it after flattening, these items have 1 hole. Different objects flatten into a different number of holes. It’s really hard for me to parae anything more complicated than 1 hole with my head, but that’s essentially the process.

I do not recall the vsauce video explicitly, but this should be the logic they’re using. It gets waaay more difficult to parae on something like a human, with a bunch of different tracts and splits and shit.

Wow, bigoted much?

Please. I’d rather not learn anything sexual about a person.

/S

What in the useless statistics Batman? So because a large percentage of people who identify as furries have viewed (not actively view, not prefer, quite simply _have viewed) furry pornography, the entire furry community must be a sex thing? That misses more than a few possibilities. Fuck, I’ve seen gay porn, and I’m not gay. As far as “learning something sexual about someone”, unless you’re calling learning someone has a fursona learning something sexual about them, this whole thing is a non-sequiter based entirely on anecdotal experience.

I don’t understand them. I doubt I ever will. But I know I do not hate them. They’re doing nothing wrong, hurting no one, leave em be. Simple.

The World Breathes With Me by Caligula’s Horse

Kinda. I got ghosted for about 6mo from a friend, just out of the blue. Met back up with them through happenstance and we decided to talk about what happened. A bunch of no responsibility and excuse later, I acted like I was down to hang again, and just didn’t. Decided this shit wasn’t worth my energy or effort.

Appreciate it! It’s sure a load off.

Thanks. Hoping it’s a turning point, a catalyst for her to finally stop smoking, and make other positive changes in her life.

In my experience it’s correlation. Motion blur shouldn’t be a particularly expensive operation. Objectively, yes, it will cause some degree of slowdown, just by necessity, but it really does do a decent job of masking those brief FPS hits.

My rig isn’t the most up-to-date. I’m also extremely sensitive to a lot of the artifacts that come from not having a consistent FPS. Vsync does a decent job of preventing those issues, but the slowdown dropping from 60 to 30 fps is very jarring to me, no matter how brief, and some light motion blur really smooths it out for me. Now, you can ABSOLUTELY overdo it, and that makes it worse. Usually I use the lowest level available, and the slowdown is preferable to overdone motion blur usually.

Every denomination has a different Bible, with different books they consider Canon. For instance, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo church has a staggering 81 books. They consider the book of Enoch canon, which almost every other denomination considers apocryphal. Interestingly, the book of Enoch corroborates a lot of information from other apocryphal texts, such as the origin of nephilim.

Honestly, the whole thing becomes a LOT more intriguing when you start adding back in the non-canon books. And I can totally see why the church deemed them heretical in a lot of cases, they pretty well fly in the face of a powerful centralized church, and if you’re in power, seeking to maintain it, it only makes sense to destroy them.

I always liked Stephen King’s version better. Pray for rain all you want, but dig a well while you wait.

Want a rabbit hole of apocryphal knowledge, start digging into gnosticism. It’s like more internally consistent Christianity. Also depending on which flavor and particular interpretation, you could arrive at such truths as: Satan runs the church. God(old testament) is an asshole and a fool. Jesus (specifically the divine aspect Christ) is on a rescue mission to save God’s mom, Sophia, from the prison world that is earth, that God made specifically to trap her. Judas is a tragic hero who has to kill his friend, Jesus, so that Christ can escape the prison world.

It’s wild, it’s a more interesting story than Christianity, and I can ABSOLUTELY see why most of these books were branded heresy.

Mums biopsy results came back negative. Given what we knew going in, I was expecting that to be the case, but good to have it confirmed.

This, too, shall pass. It’s been one of my mantras for the longest times. The things that make you happy will fade, so cherish them while they’re there. The things that make you sad will fade, so keep going through, one day will be easier.

Yeah, like I said, not entirely sure it’s legal, but that’s the boat I’m in. The other banks did the same shit, charged me more, and offered me worse rates on loans. At least this one spits on it before going in.

Mentioned in another post, but I don’t qualify for many credit unions beyond my local one that I currently use. I’ve used a few different bank options, but none of them have really been any better, and usually worse.
