Well if their voice won’t draw in buyers, than its a bad investment since you could just use some generic free version a bunch of non-voice actors were paid to make by the company they work for.

If money is to be made it won’t be the VAs capturing it is all I’m saying. They might even have no room in the market at all.

Depends who would pay more for the technology. Game developers or invidividual voice actors.

Maybe if they had a big enough union, they could swing it. Although at that point just get ai voices banned to protect your field.

Also, just an aside, I wouldnt pay extra for an AI version of an actor I liked. Thats still not them acting.

Thats a fair opinion, although I think its likely to cause the opposite reactions than you listed. But again, who really knows.

Also I’m sure most people in most places are good people, just like anywhere, Lebanon included.

I think the point is its a high turnover game, which is generally considered bad.

Also tons of people don’t touch cod or battlefield anymore who used to.

Sort of telling how you can teach people to associate good thoughts with awful things. Conditioning is a bitch.

I’ll save you time. Licensed factory in Europe, making Chinese beepers, was compromised or owned by Israel. They then put explosives in the pagers and set them to explode when paged a certain code.

They knew hezbollah was the purchaser, and would disperse them amongst its members.

I think its stupid unless it stopped some imminent horrible attack. Otherwise, Israel has given themselves away, and only killed 8 people for it. Maybe they had trouble rigging them to steal their communications.

Oh so everyone there who had a pager must have been a bad guy. Got it, solid logic. Can’t wait for the war to spread further.

As does america have non-combat elements too.

Its not rocket science how they did it. What is the impressive part? Are we really just going to say civilians don’t matter? Is it impressive to you because of how many people were hurt?

In no way is it required to respect the craft or the method.

National order isnt based on tit for tat. If someone commits a war crime against you it doesnt mean you get to do it too.

In my opinion the time of day they chose to blow them shows they wanted as much collateral damage as they could.

What’s the advantage of making excuses for committing war crimes?

Because anyone within 5 meters of the pager also was hurt.

First, what absolute savage would take a new acquaintance or romantic interest grocery shopping and make a show out of leaving the cart? Thats absolutely a red flag.

Second, you are right that with strangers it won’t matter if you judge them, but thats only true from their perspective. The way you think and carry on affects how you feel, its not a good idea to waste energy judging people in that way. It affects how you perceive and interact with the world essentially.

Its awful with at least every article posted on world.

Exactly.

That only applies if its someone in your social circle. You can follow up with them and ask why, learn about their struggles or stance on it.

With strangers you have none of that, just little glimpses into their life for a few seconds as they cross yours. When we are out in public it is very important to make quick judgments for safety, but this often is confused with moral judgment.

There are very few people in each persons social circle that they know well enough to judge morally. Strangers aren’t close enough by a long shot.

With all this considered, I have to conclude its best to always give strangers the benefit of the doubt when personal safety isnt involved.

I’m concerned this post is showing people are coming to the opposite conclusion, that we now have this great new way to judge strangers we shouldnt be judging to begin with.

I just wouldnt pitch this idea as a benefit for VAs is all. It won’t be uses by VAs to benefit their profession, it will be used by non-VAs who want to cut costs. Thats not a worthwhile goal to me. We shouldnt be trying to make art more efficient, or remove the human element from it.

I’m saying it doesnt rise to the level of determining if someone is a good or bad person. Besides the fact that noone is good or bad.

They didnt flop because they are new. They flopped because there wasnt a demand for what they were selling. What was the price tag again?

Almost like the price was what killed it.

My specialty is hand drawn art that is somehow still illegal!

Its neither a good or bad. It could be argued either way, which makes it a matter of opinion.

You even have cart returners here in this thread arguing to not return them in some cases.

The real answer is that whether you put a cart back or not says nothing about someone’s character.
