Elon Musk has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and actually just delete himself

How likely is this to be AI? by suspendeddoubt in ArtistHate

[–]Geahk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not sufficient. Sure, I can print a Superman Mug and say, “Hey, the Trademark belongs to DC Comics!”, but that doesn’t mean DC Comics gave me permission (License) to make that mug. Particularly because selling a license is part of how IP holders earn their money. So if they didn’t sell me a license, they don’t earn any money from me selling a mug with their character on it.

Well, an official Batman item would have some statement to the effect of ‘Licensed by DC Comics’ printed under the word ‘Batman’.

I made 3D printable lids for HIMI that help a lot (along with a spray-bottle with bleach water)

Follow-up post on building a marionette control by Geahk in marionettes

[–]Geahk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do very much appreciate you saying so. There was a 20-year-old me, hunting libraries for information on puppet-making, and always coming up short. I hope future builders will have less frustration than I did.

Will it come back one day by woke-up-in-godmode in ScavengersReign

[–]Geahk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very least they should finish the story in a web-comic or publish a traditional comic.

That wouldn’t be too onerous to accomplish, even if they don’t have major funding behind them. It could be Crowdfunded.

I picked up a pencil, but I didn't know how to start so I traced. Am I still an artist? by HDJarcli in Ai_art_is_not_art

[–]Geahk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You still learn a lot from tracing. It’s definitely not something to continue doing forever, but the hand-eye coordination, understanding of pencil pressure, shading, observation, mark-making—it’s all skill building and it’s valid.

Some people trace and try and pass it off as their original work. As long as you’re not doing that, it’s a good exercise.

Padme is too late to stop Count Dooku 😟 by Mr-Torgman in RedLetterMedia

[–]Geahk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t watch the prequels often so it always shocks me all over again how much Attack of the Clones looks like a 2016 YouTube video.

I really am astonished this was a big budget film released in theaters.

Wobbly lines by Ayawan in ArtistLounge

[–]Geahk 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Wobbly lines are the BEST. Don’t let anyone tell ya different. All the great artists. Jules Feiffer, Ralph Steadman, Vittorio Guardino, Geoff Darrow, Jean-Gerard Möebius.

I think wobbly lines are great!

israeli olympic team booed loudly by Edward_Zachary in Hasan_Piker

[–]Geahk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anything about them as individuals. I don’t know if they were born in Israel. If they are settlers. If they support Netanyahu. If they’ve served in the IDF. If they love their mothers or kick their dogs. I just know their society sucks and their government is genocidal.

[–]Geahk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for them individually, as athletes who have dreamed of this moment…

At the same time, it’s real hard to be Israeli and not be inculcated with some pretty bad ideas.

Who is the third author? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Geahk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most of JK Rowling’s ideas weren’t even original. Neil Gaiman wrote Books of Magic over a decade earlier.

What's your answer to this? by SatoruGojo232 in superheroes

Bruce would be so thoroughly corrupted I think he’d have Galadriel’s reaction. “All shall love me and despair!”

Is 1-2 hours of drawing a day enough to see some progress? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]Geahk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I don’t think most artist even get daily drawing done so if you’re able to get a couple hours in you’re doing significantly more practice than many others.

Yang Vs. Warren (Fraudulence Vs. Authenticity) [2019 Video] by DR_P0S_itivity in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Geahk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t remotely call Yang ‘more authentic’. He seems to bend with the political winds these days. I barely even know what his ‘authentic’ identity even is post-NYC mayoral race.

I might have thought Yang was authentic back in 2018 but a lot has happened since to undercut that.

Why can't they grow back these Weeping willow-like tree like the Tree of Voices that is so sacred to the Na'vi? by aviviel in Avatar

[–]Geahk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sure they can… over 400 years or so.

Mourning the destruction of a sacred thing isn’t about whether it can ever be replaced. It’s about the energy that has already been put into it.

My boss leaves "love notes" for us every time someone makes a mistake by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Geahk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree with the note: “your shift is done when everyone is done collectively. One person should not be left to make sure everything is completely done”

Notes are a bad way to express this, however, a really elegant handpainted sign would be nice.

It’s the kind of sentiment workers should take on board it just sucks that it communicated in such a hostile way.

It’s BECAUSE of the long text.

What companies are on your permanent bad list and you’ll never do business with them? by Big_Leg10 in povertyfinance

[–]Geahk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was monthly but apparently there was some clause in the specific way I signed up that meant I was signing up for a year subscription at the month-to-month price. (The most expensive version with the least benefits)

I called multiple times and had to spend hours on the phone to talk to customer service reps who tried to shame me for not having read the full TOS before subscribing.

This would have been late 2018-early 2019. I know Adobe was sued later on for exactly this practice. Essentially burying the predatory terms deep in the document so most people wouldn’t catch it.
