Shark Attack, Infographic Shows the Staggering Number of Sharks Killed by Humans Every Year
babies ;o;
100012920 sharks per year…. SEEMS TOTALLY LEGIT
And this is what happens when a masterfully crafted katana collides with a masterfully crafted longsword.
Suck it, katana
HAH!
suck my fuckin’ diiiick
Aren’t katanas and longswords made for different overall purposes tho
Katanas are slasher weapons made for cutting masterfully through human flesh so obviously it’s not gonna get through a fucking longsword which is really fucking thick and heavy and made for beating the shit out of people as well as hacking at armour
A katana would slice the shit out of you guys so idk what the fuck you’re so smug about^That.
A mere katana is no match for Valyrian steel
They are absolutely made for different purposes, but this gif is merely to shut up the few who thinks katanas are the epitome of swords to the point that they are elevated to an almost sacred level.
Even for different purposes, the katana was still pretty limited in its move set.Just to point out, that sword is over a flat surface, if the sword were the one this dude is using, I thing the results would be different, I see the katana bended, but did not break, while the sword got cut, another thing, the power of the sword means shit wheb its heavier than a katana, if a real figth takes place, I would bet my money on the katana for been lighter and faster
I claim bullshit on every level.
that is not mastercrafted anything.
A katana would shatter, they are brittle as fuck.
They don’t cut steel, they cut flesh and bones.
Long Swords are solid as fuck and is designed for punching holes in armor…
and in a real with, IT WOULD NOT MATTER.
If anyone is wearing any armor, then katana will lose. BAM
christ, I hate every single one of you
Okay it’s this again, lets explain how this work in all actuallity.
One one side, you got me, i can’t draw for shit, I can vector and even then it’s meh.
So even if i charged a few dollars for my services it would be unlikely for me to get any, as few people are interested in commision vectors in this fandom. That and my name isnt really that strong, most people don’t know who I am, even then few have heard of me..
So I would be unable to price after the industry standard because lack of demand and quality.
On the other side we have Slugbox, who I know have gotten tons of shit about his prices, he charged anywhere from 80 bucks and up per commission, he got a strong name, he is very well know, what he makes is quality strong, and it is actually his job.
Even then he still is not at the industry standard of pricing.
Now while I know little about the pricing for drawings and what not, I do know what graphical design can cost.
Now, graphic design is something I can, say I got a commission to make a logo for a smaller company, i would likely be able to get anything from 100 bucks too 2000 bucks depending on work and how good a deal i make.
This is standard pricing on the low-end industry end.
On the other hand, Arnell Group was in 2008 hired to make a new logo… they got paid a million dollars, you might have seen it, it’s the Pepsi logo.
On the other side, the Twitter logo was made by Simon Oxley for 15 bucks, he don’t even have a wiki page.
lets go to the high high end of the logo spectrum, remember the BP oil spil?
In 2008 BP paid 211 million dollars for a new logo.
So what can you do?
Most artists reading this will be in the pony fandom, and that is in some way a very small place, there are hundreds of artists that make fantastic art for anything from a dollar too 20 for full color high res illustrations…
So what do?
Well, you have to think like a prostitute, but a classy one, your name denotes your value, if your name is unknown then people will not be willing to pay much, make your name strong, make it know, make it a trademark.
Remember traditional art is for a certain group of people, digital for another.
You can’t just know how to draw ponies, you need to be able to draw many things, in many styles, you might need to conform to a style, but this is only needed if it is what you plan to do for a living.
Being an artist is hard, and what happens if you don’t feel like drawing, if you get an artist block.
TL;DR
Fandom average because people who pay that price only can afford that price.
Industry Average is for those with a strong name as is known to be good, and is paid but by business that can afford it
Rembember, most of the people who wants you to draw something for them are normal people, many without jobs…

Hyperstealth is a Canadian company that has recently developed a material that bends light waves around a target that allows for complete invisibility labeled “Quantum Stealth”. The material removes not only your visual, infrared (night vision) and thermal signatures but also the target’s shadow.
fucking canada made the invisibility cloak
Funfact this does not exist, the fact that anyone belives this makes me question many things… infact go check invisibility cloak on youtube. Same concept, this is not new, this is not real
While the idea for a practical ‘invisibility’ cloak might not be new, the actual bending of light waves via fabric (and not a fixed, rigid structure, which exists already) is new. What you’re thinking of uses micro-cameras and projectors all around the cloak, that forms an image of whatever is behind the side you’re looking at, but doesn’t actually have any impact on infrared sensing, thermal signatures or anything other than the visual light spectrum.
With this technology, it’d bend away all (or the majority) of both visible and invisible light, technology which again already exists in some form, but is a bold application for fabric that’s quite a few years away from existing in the prototype stage.
This is just a digital mock-up of what the product might eventually resemble, but people on the internet believe anything so w/ever.
I just wanted to point out that this was done with greenscreen/bluescreen method.
either way, all existing concepts of invisibility is fairly meh.
Infact i think some japanese guy did exactly the same as this, there is nothing on the webpage on what the cloak is, so thats a minus… ohwell.
Still fun to see something new being made.

The Great Dictator (1940) - Charlie Chaplin - Final Speech
Hope… I’m sorry but I don’t want to be an Emperor – that’s not my business – I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that.
We all want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful.
But we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls – has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in: machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little: More than machinery we need humanity; More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say “Do not despair”.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die [now] liberty will never perish…
Soldiers – don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you – who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you as cattle, as cannon fodder.
Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines. You are not cattle. You are men. You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don’t hate – only the unloved hate. Only the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers – don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty.
In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written ” the kingdom of God is within man ” – not one man, nor a group of men – but in all men – in you, the people.
You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy let’s use that power – let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fullfil their promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fullfil that promise. Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness.
Soldiers – in the name of democracy, let us all unite!”

I was introduced to a youtube that contained this speech, the movie is 73 years old, and I find this relevant today, extremely so.
Humans have been in war for almost every the past 2000 years, we are spread, segregated our self into countries, with our own laws, our own customs, our own trade, economy, politics and so on and so on.
How can there be peace when we are so broken, we are like shattered glass, if everyone could unite, work together for mankind, improve the standard of life for everyone, then maybe… yes maybe we would have peace…
Great empires bring peace, for a period of 100-150 years from 40bc too about 170 ad or about, the world was at peace, there were no major conflicts, don’t quote me on this.
Big stable empires usually bring peace, sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Nazi Germany had won the war…
Think about it, there where around 60 million casualities then, now USA alone has been in conflicts with almost 40 countries since then, causing the death of 20 too 40 million people over the past 65 years
Is that any better then what WWII caused? No other country has been in this many wars… well maybe Sweden and Denmark, they have been in almost 40 wars with each other alone…
War just brings more war, and the wars for the past 20 years just seem pointless to me.
Like pointless deaths, caused by greed and hatred…
Today we hate muslims, the middle east so much more then before, how can we expect to have world wide peace when there are already wars brewing in so many other countries due too greed…
I really don’t know where I was going with this, but I can see myself lucky, I grew up with peace, not knowing of war…
And it was media it self that made me actually fear a world wide war. Not the actions of any country or group or organization, but media itself…
They say ignorance is a bliss, and it is… I wish to be ignorant, to not know of human hatred, to know how much misery we have caused… maybe this is why so many wish to be young again, young… innocent… and ignorant or the world…
When you have a problem you should start singing…
You will then discover your singing voice is worse then your problem.
