don't cheat yourself out of an opportunity to learn something new - treat yourself to the excitement of discovery - the anticipation of the unknown - we are living in wild times and despite all of the shitty bits, there is even more to look forward to - we are still in the game - alive

maybe AI is bad (it's not) - looking back at technological advances before they were accepted into the populous - always someone rejecting them - I implore you to ask yourself; how do you see this working out? - don't answer that question, just keep asking it and let your curiosity guide you.

life is crazy - maybe i dodged a bullet and CGI saved my life - who fucking knows - one thing i do know is; the older i get and the more experience i gain, the more i realize how much i don't know and how bad i am at predicting the future

thing is - i couldn't say no to work - that's just me - i literally drown the year before in a river working on a different film - another stunt double fell on me and trapped me under water long enough to lose all function - 6 years later Steve Irwin died from a manta ray sting

working on a crew ironing out rigging strategies - my name came up - I was tapped to ride a manta ray among other water related bits - all those scenes ended up CGI - and that's ok - that kind of shit happened all the time - we knew better than to get hopes up over 'talk'

(2/) my stupid fucking anecdote:
i'm old.
I've seen some shit and experienced some shit in my life.
I lost a job to CGI.
Following the loss of S.K. - summer of 2000 - the movie AI was full steam pre-production - I was poised and in the running to be HJO's stunt double.

well, i guess if you are 'color-blind', you wouldn't see it. the irony is the problem - dealing with ignorant whtie people takes energy and stirs emotions, but go off

read my comment again - who else suffers from systemic racism everyday - if it isn't obvious and i didn't provide enough context (given the conversation in this thread) i apoligize - they = POC
April 8, 2025 at 12:11 AM
who is they? really?
April 8, 2025 at 12:06 AM
so you are going to just pretend like there is no structural racism dictating nearly every aspect of their lives every day?
April 8, 2025 at 12:03 AM
the fierce urgency of now is still in effect - nobody has time for colorblind bullshit ffs
April 7, 2025 at 11:59 PM
this hits like a really wild litmus test and i am uncomfortable now
April 7, 2025 at 11:45 PM
that is a great analogy
April 7, 2025 at 11:41 PM
yeah baby yeah
April 7, 2025 at 11:27 PM
i've been saying this - it surprises me it is not talked about more - it's so glaringly obvious
