Do I think less of someone for using AI for anything generative? yes. doesn’t matter why it makes my blood boil. even coding or debugging, don’t care. use your brain instead. Fuck, even copy from stack overflow if you need coding help that bad. sure maybe that’s got a lot of ai stuff in it now (I don’t know) but at least you’re doing research and thinking on your own. I don’t care what tool you’re using or what it’s for. Doesn’t matter. You’re the problem. There’s a fundamental disconnect between you and the true purpose of creation and learning and living. fuck off.
I had an urge, and I decided to draw a fake screen shot if Project Hail Mary was a 90s/2000s era animated film.
Who else going to Art Fight this year?
Knight of Cups / Little Shadows
I feel awful
Someone deactivated their accounts after we spoke and I think it’s because of a misunderstanding.
I know I said I wanted some space but that I wouldn’t block them, but I didn’t think they’d deactivate.
I hope they’re okay.
And if they’re listening, I’m sorry I upset you, and I know you didn’t do anything wrong. We all make mistakes, and I know you only meant to help
look at my lawyer dawg. no seriously, look at her. isnt she so pretty
Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.
The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.
I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.
That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."
And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."
And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."
And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.
And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.
Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.
"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.
Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.
May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.
This post is super cute and all but like.... This isn't practical advice. I called the AG???? And they got involved over a $200 bill. Maybe because you yourself are a medical practitioner. Not just your knowledge but also your status.
Civics class wouldn't help most people in this case because the AG will not take on all these cases and most people cannot afford an attorney in this instance or more importantly, the hit to their credit.
The issue is not education over the system, it is the system
I agree the system is a mess but I think education does matter because people seem not to know that this is actually perfectly routine AG office stuff. I’m not the only person who’s done this- this is just what they do?
Were they going to get into a lawsuit over my $400 bill? No obviously not. But they printed up a letter on fancy letterhead to say to stop and it worked. They followed up with me the next day to be sure, and so ask how much money they had saved me.
They use dinky cases like mine to track habitual misbehavior of large scale companies to build cases they could actually go to court over.
And because people are shocked- I never spoke to the AG of my state directly. He operates mainly by overseeing a whole crew of people. And this is what those people do.
This didn’t happen because I’m special because of my tiny therapy practice.
This happened because this is what the AG office is for.
“The problem is systemic” doesn’t mean “and there’s nothing you can do”.
This is a systemic problem but that doesn’t mean there are no resources to help.
Thank you for clapping back on this. I'm here to reinforce. Yes, you CAN call your state Attorney General office when an entity is doing something illegal, even if it's "only" for $400. You think they don't care a hospital is doing a crime because it's not a big enough crime?
Then you've been trained well by "The System".
Yes, that System you say can't be fought? Where did you get that idea, huh? Who taught you that "small" acts of illegality don't matter? Who made you think that there's no point in fighting back because it will all come to nothing?
Might it be the same entities that benefit if you believe all that?
Gonna pause and let you ponder.
Never. Ever. EVER.
EVER.
Let companies or corporations or hospitals or organizations or any business big or small get away with screwing you over without a fight. Maybe you personally don't win every fight, but you lose 100% of the time you don't try. You'll win more often than you think you will. I know cuz I've done it.
So have others. Attorneys General offices bring lawsuits against businesses all the time. They do so because citizens contacted them to say "someone is doing a crime" and the crime doers did not stop when told and got into way more trouble than if they'd just stopped. FAFO. The Find Out can't happen if you don't even bother to report the Fucking Around.
On that note, as OP said, please know your rights! And, in a situation where you don't but suspect something is hinky, ask! The people of the internet can help! So can librarians! So can many others. Find out what is and is not okay for them to do. If it's not okay, report them! See something, say something.
Don't let the System win by default.
Fight, damnit!
Additionally, pay attention to State Attorney elections! Here in Minnesota, our AG Keith Ellison has made it a POINT to go after slumlords, has created an entire UNIT in the AG office dedicated to wage theft, and gone after debt relief for people who were conned by those scummy fake universities. And despite MN being a blue state, one of his elections was a fucking NAIL-BITER.
Absolutely fight the system, absolutely go to your AG office if you’re being screwed over, and also pay attention to the people running for AG in the first place.
Government of the people, by the people, and for the people only works if the people make it work. That's you! You're the people.
"Don't bother doing anything because nothing will happen" confused cause with effect: it's really "Nothing will happen if you don't bother doing anything." Yeah, I know, it's a travesty that they don't hand you psychic powers when you take your oath as a civil servant, but until we fix that clear defect in our democracy: you're serving the public, too, when you report fuckers like this.
Not gonna leave this in the tags:
Suspicion of The System™️ is one of the ways The System™️ perpetuates itself.
If you believe The System™️ is only for Them™️ and not you, it will only ever be so.
Know the rules so you can make them work for you. Or better, how to break them in ways that hurt The System™️ and help you.
Gricking yet again
Hey guys?
If I wanted to do my own content (not just Castaway Barnacles and Game 6 stuff but like my own stuff), would you give it a chance?
It’s okay if not, I’m just a little deflated in the brain and I’m just curious (I’m really bored and unmotivated lol)
Gameoverse was fun!! Warms my heart to see a passion project like this finally be brought to life. 💖
Please note the stupid creature comment was made by my friend I am completely innocent-
Megaman Production Art Scan of the Day #1242:
Ryuusei no Rockman Tribe Cover Sheet (Color Version)
Notations include: - Main Character Settei
No, this is not a restart to daily posts quite yet. But since I bought a new batch, I merely came across two nice quality, updated color versions of sheets I've already posted in grayscale. Figured I might as well post them today and tomorrow. That's all. Full Resolution Scan: https://imgbox.com/8DZXeMrM
I did end up adding Pym after all! I didn't want to have a lot focused on other superheroes in the Evolution world, but I did find a way that Pym could fit in this AU! In this I have that he had discovered out how to shrink things but hadn't yet figured out how to grow things or apply the size shifting to organic life. Finding out about Pietro as someone who could size shift naturally would be like discovering the motherlode. This is his special interest, he wrote his thesis on this, he'd be ecstatic! I think normally he's actually a bit stoic and no-nonsense, but this is kind of His Thing.
I think he abd McCoy would have met at Harvard both studying biochemistry and they were buddies to the point where McCoy eventually confided in him about mutants (and funny enough they both are named Hank). Pym told him if he ever came across one that could manipulate size to tell him and Hank would jokingly agree. He didn't think the day would come but here he is emailing him about it and Pym was like "on my way".
I think it'd be a bit before he's able to come up with something, but he'd actually develop something for Pietro to help control the kirbons (comic thing) that his body is manipulating to size shift so he doesn't have as bad episodes with growing and he'd take it like an epipen in emergencies, but might also develop something else that helps prevent it from being too unstable that he might have to take like a medication.

like to charge, reblog to cast.
when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.
#give us the middle-aged gender fluid Chinese protagonist that we can all relate to and project on (via @mr-and-mr-pavus)
