From Bing originally. It carries a CC license.
I prompted, edited (like extra ears, strange helmet accessories, logos being off), printed, assembled, and added/changed details once it was glued to a board.
I’ve given up on trying to decide if AI images are mine. Otherwise, have at it.

- Comment on Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike 1 year ago:
Well, its most of the normal music and then a bunch of pirated music. It’s like YT music but with a better “Start Radio” button.
- Comment on Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike 1 year ago:
Soundcloud might be an alternative worth looking into. For the music I tend to search for, I find I’m more likely to find it on Soundcloud, and it can take years to migrate from SC to YTM.
While YTM and SC were both $10, putting up with the worse platform was a reasonable price for no YT ads. Now that the grandfathering is ending and the price is jumping to $14, for US folks, I’m feeling the pressure to migrate.
- Comment on Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike 1 year ago:
Spotify has invested significant $$ in upgrading their platform.
YTM lets you access user-uploaded content. With that comes more in the way of remixes and Indy artists. The platform itself is pretty dogshit, though.
- Comment on Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike 1 year ago:
Your mileage may vary coming up in December. The $10 crew in the US will see a 40% increase at or near the end of the year. Grandfathering is going away.
This brings the cost of Google’s video/music service to match Amazon’s video/music service. Are those services of the same quality?
Soundcloud ($10) Is the real competitor to YT-Music in my book. Both benefit from user-generated and user-uploaded content. While there is crossover, I have found more tracks on Soundcloud that aren’t on YT than the other way around.
- Comment on Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike 1 year ago:
The article became increasingly redundant as it continued. The crux seems to be Google isn’t their employer. These workers work for a subcontractor, Cognizant. Cognizant performs services for YouTube Music.
Cognizant is refusing to bargain citing the ongoing relevant litigation* between its employees and Google.
- I’m not sure what the legal process is called for union claims.
Some of the employees are striking for 1 day.
- Comment on New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease 1 year ago:
I don’t understand your comment. To put it another way, vaccine was less bad than covid. Or Covid was worse than the vaccine. Do you still object with the simplified phrasing?
- Comment on New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease 1 year ago:
It does make sense. And it is so so easy to get tangled.
- Comment on New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease 1 year ago:
Agreed. I misremembered what the issue was. It’s been a second.
The issue was balancing risk of serious side effect versus risk of serious complication.
- Comment on New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease 1 year ago:
There were side effects that were serious. The vaccines and boosters effected different age groups differently. Some age groups were more likely to develop serious side effects.
Covid effected different age groups differently. Some age groups were more likely to develop serious complications.
In the instances where the risk of serious side effect was more likely than the risk of serious complication, at least one of the boosters was more likely to be bad for the patient.
If it is more likely to cause harm, I can understand not wanting to take that version.
My point is it’s ok to refuse medicine based on medical evidence.
- Comment on New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease 1 year ago:
Forgive my ignorance on the subject. Instead of reading studies directly, I used the opinions of doctors quoting studies to inform my opinions. If memory serves, for the first booster, it was more likely that young men would develop serious complications from the vaccine booster than if they developed covid instead. I think they were heart complications.
So if a drug is shown to be more detrimental than helpful, why is it bad to refuse it, or ask for a different drug, or for more investigation?
- Comment on New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease 1 year ago:
I didn’t refuse the vaccine. Get the fuck out of here.
- Comment on New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease 1 year ago:
How do I give medical science a bad name? Do I speak for the field?
- Comment on New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease 1 year ago:
Science isn’t a religion. It’s a process. In the case of the covid vaccines, that process was intentionally minimized as to bring the vaccine to market faster.
The vaccine did have benefits. It also had complications that instead of being found out in trials were found out after release. Just because it’s called a vaccine doesn’t mean its safe.
You can be anti-this-particular-vaccine without being anti-all-vaccines.
- Comment on New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease 1 year ago:
“an inverse vaccine”
Oh good, at least they didn’t choose a name that’s gonna cause confusion.
TIL you can wait until you have the disease to take the vaccine. So if my kid gets polio, I’ll give them the vaccine then, but I don’t want to risk anything bad happening so I’ll wait. I’m glad I did my research.
- Comment on Sheet posting shit music? 1 year ago:
It looks like tabs paired with sheet music. Tabs are literal instructions for string instrument players of which fret to use instead of which note.
BUT instead of the sheet music being sheet music, it is N64 inputs. But the tabs I was working off of continued past the classic inputs. The sheet music devolves into PS inputs and Navi and The-Fucking-Owl inputs. My thinking was, if you could have played those notes with an n64 controller, you would have, but they required different buttons.
The words sheet and shit sound similar. I’m clearly not very creative, so I reversed their order for the title.
Do you see now? Is it funny yet?
No? Maybe because it’s not a good joke.

Who cares? Like really.
- Comment on The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke 1 year ago:
kind’a
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before. “Kinda” does not mean “kind of.” “Kind of” is not the proper way to write “kinda.” They aren’t interchangeable.
Kind’a is a contraction and specifically means kind of. Brilliant.
- Comment on The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke 1 year ago:
You uncultured swine. Ain’t is a contraction of am not. Am only goes with I. I ain’t going to accept illiteracy.
- Comment on The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke 1 year ago:
Everyone gets y’all. It fills the dumb gap in English where the plural of you is you. Now if we could only get a singular neutral 3rd for people that isn’t also the plural.
- Comment on The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke 1 year ago:
y’all is second person plural. First and Second person aren’t gendered. Therefore, I is also woke
