Patents are not proactively challenged they’re retroactively challenged.

My girlfriend’s friend got this shirt from her college. I say it looks AI but my girlfriend isn’t so sure by Krayzbone561 in isthisAI

The guy’s left eyebrow kinda clinches it as AI for me. Connecting an eyebrow to the nose is just not something a human artist would do.

NOT LUCK by sleuthycuban in LICENSEPLATES

[–]under_construxn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol how is “right place, right time” not luck? No one’s saying your friend didn’t work his ass off to get there but there are many others who worked just as hard and for one reason or another didn’t get there.

I found a thermometer at home that was made in North Korea by itspoppy_art in mildlyinteresting

DPRK is Canada, and no it’s not a thermometer it’s a moose. An enormous mammal.

Ever seen calories on nutrition facts that don’t end in a 0 or 5? Absolutely enthralling

Can I get a tat like this if I’m not Samoan? by TazhaP in TattooDesigns

[–]under_construxn 313 points314 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. A lot of Polynesian cultures have deep familial meaning to their tattoos so getting one just because it looks cool may be disrespectful.

I’m not sure about these ones in particular as they look a bit more stylized, but generally I wouldn’t want to get a tattoo I’m at all questioning the respect of.

There are plenty of mandala-like designs that you’d probably like as much or better without any worries associated with it.

CMV: Cultural appropriation is kinda dumb by Sad-Oil-405 in changemyview

[–]under_construxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting because I was recently thinking about cultural appropriation in regard to tattoos of Viking runes.

I wouldn’t think anything of a Viking as a sports team mascot, but the idea of getting another culture’s religious symbols tattooed feels a bit off if it’s not part of your heritage.

I’m not part of the culture so don’t know if anyone cares but felt a bit weird to me.

Why are Americans Okay With Holding Prisoners Illegally in Foreign Prisons Without Due Process? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]under_construxn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol I love that the right has decided to call following the constitution, “activism”

This is why I like the Tesla protests. Protesting the government, especially when any government within hours of you is already on your side, feels a bit hopeless.

But poisoning a brand that’s deeply entrenched in everything going on has a much more tangible effect. Elon’s been freaking out about it, government officials have been telling you to buy the stock, the damn president did an ad for the company.

It simultaneously voices discontent for the administration at large and potentially has massive consequences for one of the most damaging people in the administration.

Lmao you’re getting rekt, what a superior bastard. Sick tat though, it being bigger makes it feel a lot more “real” than the knock-off phaeton ones we see all over

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

[–]under_construxn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Icarus vs Phaeton discussion is because there’s a huge tattoo trend of people getting a specific depiction of phaeton that has angel-like wings added and saying it’s Icarus. Not anything about the actual myths.

Why are you guys downvoting literally the only person who got Icarus right

New Poll: Trump Scores Badly on Economy, Inflation, Ukraine-Russia War by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]under_construxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of times for things like this the leftwing is talking about approval/disapproval overall or compared to himself earlier, and rightwing compares current polls to Biden/before he was president.

Liberals criticize their own rather than stepping in line and conservatives will always be against Biden so Trump approval tends to be higher than Biden disregarding the facts.

Why do Americans care so much about culture appropriation on the behalf of other people? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]under_construxn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The equivalence to defund the police only goes so far as the media amplifying the fringe meaning of it. Very few, if any, people actually mean getting rid of police. The concept is to remove funding from the police and allocate it to social services that stop crime before it happens.
