this is like somebody who has never been on a roller coaster saying 'i've never been on a roller coaster but I'm much happier than the people I know who have been on roller coasters'.
Seth Rogen says he and his wife are now more grateful than ever that they decided not to have children heโ€™s not afraid to explain why. He admits they used to question whether theyโ€™d made the right decision, but now their conversations have shifted to, โ€œHonestly, thank God we donโ€™t have children.โ€ His reasoning? Theyโ€™re in the prime of their lives, understand themselves better than ever, and have the freedom to pursue their careers, enjoy life, and build the kind of relationship theyโ€™ve always wanted. But Seth took it a step further, saying he sees people with children struggling to find the same time for work and personal enjoyment that he and his wife have. โ€œI seem to get a lot more active enjoyment out of not having kids than anyone I know seems to get out of having kids.โ€ That statement will probably divide people. Some see raising children as lifeโ€™s greatest joy, while others believe a fulfilling life doesnโ€™t have to include parenthood. Do you think Seth has a point, or is there a kind of happiness you can only understand after having children?

i love laika but producing an over 2 hour animated feature for over a hundred million and rated PG-13 that isn't an established powerhouse like spiderman was an insane risk.
โ€˜WILDWOODโ€™ crossed $35M at the global box office. Budget was $100M.

maybe they will make up for the lackluster showing in japan/china. if 'the boy and the heron' is any indicator there is a much bigger appetite over here for more mature animated features.

crazy thing is this experienced cg artist supposedly just tossed this demo together in a relatively short amount of time.

this is a big part of why having kids is so gratifying. doing normal things makes you the coolest person in the world.

just thinking about the effect that idolizing Picard had on millennials as kids vs the effect Captain Kirk has on boomers. products of the times, of course, but i feel it is a appropriate microcosm of the generational divide.
Now feels like a good time for this clip

it can be endearing. like when we were given cotton candy by an ojiisan at a small matsuri and he said "japanese sweet. enjoy."
A Japanese guy asked me if people got hay fever in America, too, and I said yes. He then asked why. I was so dumbfounded I couldnโ€™t answer. After a long silence and me staring in disbelief, someone said, โ€œโ€ฆthey have trees and flowers in America, too.โ€

this is why i perform above my actual level in Japanese, i have absolutely no problem mimicking the native Japanese accent.
In order to properly speak a foreign language you sort of have to do an impression of a native speaker. The reason why most anglos are so bad at languages is because they are too self-conscious to effectively do this

my timeline is 10 years before most households have a jack-o-lantern wrangling robot.
I see how some people can watch flashy robot demos on the timeline and think with a shiver that the robot apocalypse is around the corner, but reality check: There is no robot in the world that can change the batteries in a jack-o-lantern. If you have a robot friendly door handle it might be able to walk outside, pick it up, and carry it back inside. The robot could open the drawer with your batteries in it, but then things get tough. Opening the package of AA batteries? Extracting a precision screwdriver from its case? Unscrewing four tiny screws that require a hard press and twist? Popping batteries out of the case? Yes, you could build and train a specialist robot to do that today, but there is a very long way to go to replace the full range of human capabilities. Near term doomer scenarios should stop at โ€œsecretly controlling humanityโ€ instead of โ€œwiping humanity outโ€ ๐Ÿ˜€
