Unfortunately 90% of jobs require contributing to and reinforcing the worst aspects of society.

It makes it too easy to game the system and create gridlock because you only need influence over a bunch of very small percent of the population.

Smaller states should have less of a say. I'm not sure how that seems unreasonable. The people should decide. It doesn't matter what state they live in. It might have made sense 200 years ago but now I can't believe people seriously support it.

Importing multiple meshes from 1 .blend file in c/godot@programming.dev

Thanks I think I should be able to work something out with EditorPostImport to export the branches/update them if they exist.

EditorPostImport sounds promising. Hopefully I can make it save the branches or update them if they already exist. Thanks!

What about modifying the importer to automatically export each branch to a new scene?

Python syntax makes me really have no interest in gdscript. I don't understand why people like python/similar languages. Its painful to use.

Importing multiple meshes from 1 .blend file (lemmy.world)
 

Hey guys I've recently been looking at Godot since Unity has set itself on fire. I'm liking it so far but I've run into a small issue that disrupts my usual workflow. I like to store multiple meshes as separate objects in a single .blend file for meshes that are very related to each other like pieces of a build kit. I was able to split the meshes into separate scenes by opening the .blend scene, right clicking and allowing children to be editable, then exporting each branch to a new scene. This works as expected with one problem. The exported branches don't update their mesh when I save changes to the blend file. Is there a fix for this?

If not I can always split the blend into multiple files. Its just less convenient. Perhaps exporting to colladae would work too? I didn't try that yet but ideally I would like to keep using blend files only to avoid exporting every time I make a change.

Copyright definitely needs to be stripped back severely. Artists need time to use their own work, but after a certain time everything needs to enter the public space for the sake of creativity.

Not sure where you live but in America stop signs are everywhere. You can't go anywhere without hitting multiple.

In my experience most people don't even know what a zip or rar is or how to extract them.

Those with parents who hold opposite political views than you, how do you go about disagreeing? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Toasteh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You cannot reason someone out of a position that they did not reason themselves into. Most of the time they even think they are being logical and reasoned their way into their beliefs, but because they refuse to rectify their cognitive dissonance, they are stuck with contradictory beliefs which they haven't accepted are incompatible.

No one can be trusted with AI. Its misuse is inevitable.

How do you negotiate with your apartment rental landlord when they are a huge corporation with 500+ properties? (lemmy.world)
 

I've been dealing with this for years now since my apartment complex was bought by new owners(multiple times now). Every time I renew the lease they want to raise the price $100+ ($300+ during covid). I always try to negotiate by saying I've lived there many years with no problems, paid rent on time, etc. Unfortunately I'm only even allowed to speak to the local office manager who is either powerless or pretends to be and doesn't even pretend to be sympathetic.

Meanwhile, they aren't even keeping their end of the deal up. The pool and hot tub have been drained and in disrepair since January.(I'll definitely mention this when negotiating this time).

Lastly, moving is not the answer. Practically every apartment complex around here is owned by one of these horrible companies so there's no escape unless you happen to find something owned by an individual(which has its own problems). I'm also getting a small discount(gets smaller every renewal) for being in an outdated unit so moving would still raise my rate, be a massive hassle, and I'd have to pay a new deposit.

Long term I will buy a house, but how can I save enough when they gouge me at every turn?
