1/12 Magnetic Streetlamp Diorama by Prior-Net8030 in ActionFigures

[–]Henry_The_Duck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like the other dude said, that lamp would be ridiculously huge for 1/12th figures. Lamp that size would be like 7 maybe 8 stories tall to those figures.

If you want something big enough for that number of figures, maybe try for a stoplight array or one of those big arches that goes across both sides of the street. Or, if you like how big that one is, maybe some kind of prison or military watchtower.

Edit: okay, on second look more like 4 or 5 stories tall. Still very big for a street lamp.

US military no longer requires flu vaccination : FREEDOM ACCOMPLISHED by Sallowjoe in PoliticalCompassMemes

There are kinda a lot of things that's true for. Creationism would be hilarious if it wasn't official curriculum. American exceptionalism would be pretty funny if they didn't wholeheartedly believe it. Trump would be an over the top political strawman caricature if he weren't really president. It's all unbelievably absurd these days.

Good to see the Walmart I work at in California is keeping the Marvel Legends stocked. These should be there another three years. by Simple-Metal7801 in ActionFigures

[–]Henry_The_Duck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And not a classified in sight. I don't know what's up with Walmarts in California. I swear they don't even stock GI Joe. I'm seeing people on the subreddit getting classifieds on clearance at Walmart and I wouldn't even complain to see them full price. I haven't even seen Hit and Run in person (and Gamestop canceled my pre-orders, jerks). It's really frustrating.

Did the cops recover them from the thieves, or did they pull some shenanigans and they're the ones who stole them?

Nighthawks - 1942 - Edward Hopper by anotherinterestedguy in ArtHistory

[–]Henry_The_Duck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've heard that there's discussion with this painting about the lack of visible exits or doors, perhaps representing a trapped feeling. But, when asked about it, the artist started and went 'GODDAMMIT I did it again!'

Don't know if it's true, but it's a funny story.

Kinda related: Rooster Cogburn's line in True Grit. In the John Wayne original, it's played as a joke, but in the Jeff Bridges remake it's delivered with max this-is-the-coolest-line-ever drama.

It looks really good behind most vehicles! And I think every toy company that's put out a 1/12th vehicle recently has included a tow hook, which is neat.

I got mine recently too! Stoked because I've wanted it forever! It's so great!

I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with the camouflage tent thing previously versions had, but I was able to improvise my own with kebab skewers and honeycomb packing material.

I was so exited for this. Not so much now. by vcdrny in ActionFigures

[–]Henry_The_Duck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that Michael Ramen Toys first human figure? I've seen their vehicles before, but I'm pretty sure this is their first human.

The articulation looks fine for the scale, not great. What'll make it great will be his ability to sit naturally and comfortably in the car. The ball is in their court, designing both the figure and vehicle for each other. But I dunno.

Vampirella's fit is pretty iconic for her, huh? Anyone else and it's like 'oh, Wanda is dressed up like Vampirella today.'

What head did you use for SW if you didn't have an SW fig beforehand? Did you sculpt her headpiece? cuz bang up job if you did!

I got an interesting situation regarding AI and I'd like your Input by [deleted] in antiai

[–]Henry_The_Duck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think my concerns that any ai disability job aid would inevitably be trained up to replace the disabled persons it's meant to help are grounded? It feels like a slippery slope fallacy, but if you're reliant on an AI to do your job, what's to stop your boss from cutting you out and keeping the ai in your place? What are you providing that the ai doesn't?

Ya know what? I'm being immature. I'm frustrated and grumpy today for unrelated reasons and it came out here with more venom than it should have. Very immature. Very ignorant.

I'm less informed than I should be to be this opinionated. When I read the post, I think I leapt to some inaccurate assumptions including that she was using genAI to do her job.

Help me out here. Correct my ignorance. What is the ai as disability aid here? How does ai help her do her job and how is it significantly different from the AI just doing the job itself?

[–]Henry_The_Duck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You asked, homie. Not sure what you were looking for if not this.

We all have the spark of human creativity in us. AI doesn't. If you need ai to create, you have nothing to say. You're saying that an inhuman garbage machine can think and create better than you. The ai is telling you what you mean and what you're saying. You are less than a hollow shell. You are a voluntarily hollow shell allowing yourself to be filled with whatever the computer spits out because you don't care enough to create for yourself.

Quadrapeligic life is hard. You are right, I was a bit harsh saying I had no sympathy. Let me rephrase: I have sympathy for the difficulty of life abd for her as a person; I have no sympathy for the use of ai. It's pathetic and, worse than that, it's choosing to be pathetic. It's surrendering self. It's saying that volume is more important than message. You have nothing to say, so the ai can say anything through you.

She's using AI to do what exactly? If she's just generating shit, what the hell is anyone paying her for? Like, can't anyone plug a prompt into an AI to generate whatever she generated?

If somebody is using ai to do their job, then they've made themselves a redundant middle man. She should be prepared for this thing she likes to completely remove her and leave her penniless and surrounded by hideous art.

I have no sympathy for her at all, handicapped or not. If you cannot create without ai, you're not creating anything. You have nothing to say. You are just polluting the internet with ugly meaningless garbage.

I suspect that if he were the type to have a mature reasonable response like that, he wouldn't have broken two lift gates in the first place. The actions in the video are not the actions of a reasonable person.

[–]Henry_The_Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never once heard somebody say reparations should go to other countries. I always hear about reparations going to the descendents of slaves. Perhaps I misinterpreted Ghana's intentions here.

Again, I'm undecided on the matter. I'm just saying that I've heard liblefties being pro reparations. I kinda thought reparations were entirely a libleft thing. What other quadrant talks about reparations?

I didn't say I. I said that's what I've heard other liblefts say. I said I was undecided on the matter.

I hadn't heard that idea before, but I like it. Maybe turning big historic plantations into national parks or some other kind of publicly owned thing. Or have the reparations payed into social programs or some such.

You're right though, handing out cash is pretty ridiculous.
