It used to take 10 Koreans in Japan to do this, and weeks of effort.

Keep in mind, I could move cameras around to look at bits of the scene as up close as you'd want.

The last computer I was using couldn't even animate a single one of these in "real time".

This one seems to be able to animate 50.

I just got tired of figuring out where to put more, and what to have them do from my set of animation drop ins.

I'm pretty sure it's possible to make very good cartoons.

And monkey with the social order significantly.

That’s like hearing George Takei say ‘guacamole’ but better!

Better stay away from the guac, if boy George made it...

Just in case.

Some clueless families use mayo in their guacamole.

I tried it. Despite being a food violation crime, it's actually pretty good.

Farther south of the border there’s a place where the avocados are so big that there are now city ordinances dictating where their massive trees can be planted.
There they make a mousse dessert with avocado, chocolate powder, and condensed milk.

They sell those at Sprouts Market.

One of Cholita's favorites, except one time a sales lady asked her if she needed help, and she shoved her into the air a foot or so, to land a yard away.

Oddly the sales lady was laughing when she came to look for the "husband".

All I could say was, "Yep. She does stuff like that for sure."

I guess people just block out the supernatural.

The Sorcery Lineage of Don Juan Matus & Carlos Castaneda

The purpose of this subreddit is to aid in the pragmatic application of the works of Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner, Taisha Abelar, & Carol Tiggs to how we experience existence. Core topics include: sorcery (a.k.a. the mastery of intent), awareness, & non-ordinary reality (magic). Here, you can: learn ABOUT sorcery, what has and has not worked over thousands of years, decide to empirically embark on your own "definitive journey," and altruistically document your challenges and discoveries.

r/castaneda Rules

Accounts newer than 10 days old cannot comment, and must reach 21 days before posting is allowed.

4 commenting upvotes (in any subreddit) are also required in order to post after those 21 days.
Do your best to tag new posts with a relevant Flair category. Otherwise, select General Knowledge.
Please be familiar with the terminology used in here before posting. See the Wiki's Terminology page

Astral Projection is the most problematic term, along with OBE. Please use Dreaming Double, or Dreaming Body instead.
Any post that diverts away from the implied purpose of this sub, will be marked SPOILER or removed.

The stated purpose of this subreddit is to aid in restoring the reputation of Carlos Castaneda and the knowledge he imparted, by pragmatically applying that knowledge IN PRACTICE. This means that we are sticking to what really works, as proven by direct experience by long-practicing members.
No low effort posting, pretending, or wasting people's time.

Especially problematic posts, ex. questions that could be answered by either practicing or by reading more posts or from the books, will be removed and users who make similar repeated posts will be banned for a minimum of 3 months. Pretend sorcery which does not emphasize silence, and is based only on thinking and mood, will not be tolerated.
Self-centered promotion, jockeying for a "top-dog" position, & grandstanding are bannable behaviors.

Persons promoting behavior over effort to get silent and the necessity to move the assemblage point, and who won't give up that activity, are likely to be banned for a minimum of ONE YEAR.
Those being overly disruptive will be temporarily or permanently banned, at the mods discretion.

This is a blanket rule, meant to give mods a more broadly applicable option for a ban or content removal. Banned users still have access to the subreddit, wiki, and all its resources (except the group chat).
Please report content in violation of any of this subreddit's rules to the mods to be evaluated.

This will make it publicly unviewable until it can be assessed.
