Margot Robbie

But the whole point of the story is that choosing to be human in the real world, instead of being an everlasting symbol in a fantasy world, is to accept everything that comes with being human in life: dying, doing dishes, but more importantly, the ability to choose your own path in your story.

That’s why I get take-outs, don’t have to do the dishes.

Also, can we take a moment to talk about how great the performance of whomever that woman in the meme is? Looks like an Oscar worthy performance to me.

“I’ve suddenly received the urge to be put on a Barbie.”

You are right! He totally would.

I wanted to at least win something this year, if not the Oscars…

And I demand her portrait to be replaced by a funny portrait of a way cooler Aussie. Like esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie. Or Bluey.

It’s a win-win.

It goes to show that being a good actress doesn’t mean that you can’t also be good at tech, even if you don’t like to to brag about it.

Because it’s funny, and “troll teh forums” is the fastest way to level up the mischief skill?

I like how snappy it is.

Have you talked with the main Lemmy devs about maybe adopting this as a full replacement for the current lemmy-ui when it gets more feature complete but before the Leptos frontend is done?

It’s no dramatic piece, like Dark Knight or Winter Soldier, but it’s a rocking good time.

You get it.

But I still wish it did a bit better at the box office though…

Well, making a good superhero movie is harder than people think. At the end of the day, studios are risk adverse, and making a woman focused superhero movie is seen as riskier as it is more niche, which means they are more prone to interventions and design by committee, so it is a self perpetuating problem.

Speaking of which, Lemmy plug “Birds of Prey” (also starring some crazy clown woman) here today, in my humble and totally unbiased opinion, it’s a pretty fun superhero movie that more people should watch.

Fellow lemmings, I, for one, agree wholeheartedly with the premise of this article, which is why I will be using this opportunity to buy the collector’s edition of the Golden Globe winning movie, Barbie, on Blu-Ray, so that I can watch it whenever I want to.

In fact, I will be buying multiple copies, one for every room in my house, because you just never know.

Noticed this too. You should try typing the url of your Lemm.ee comment into the search bar of the instance you are trying to post to, it works… sometimes.

Barbie!

Lemmy doesn’t have Karma, it’s not visible on the webUI currently and will be completely removed in the next version.

You gotta pump these Barbie nomination numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

I don’t know about you, but that “Barbie” movie sure looks pretty good.

You should go watch it.

If they only appreciate me enough to hand me my Oscar this year…

Instagram had slowly morphed from a website to share artsy filtered cell photos to an advertisement platform, where people are turning themselves into characters living the perfectly imperfect life on social media, in an attempt to turn themselves into living advertisements, to buy and sell products, Every photo (especially the natural looking ones) is carefully shot, curated and edited by a team to imitate authenticity, no different than shooting a movie or a TV show.

So then, what happens if that role of a living advertisment can automated by machines, equally as heartless and unrealistic as these performance of perfect daily lives on Instagram? Why go through the efforts, the hours and manpower, to conduct the photoshoots and Photoshops for that one perfectly imperfect targeted post, when anyone with a modern GPU can effortlessly make thousands of machine generated pictures with way less work in the same timeframe?

Why should the role of “social media influencer” even exist then?

I’ve been unhappy about the state of social media for a long time now. But as it appears, the role of the social media influencer, as the lowest common denominator of photography, will be the first to be rendered redundant by AI automation, which brings me hope that in time, social media can be brought back to what originally was: a place for people to talk to people.

Great episode.

I don’t really know how people can even use YouTube without ad blockers. Sitting through minutes of advertisement is not going to make me want to buy your product if I start mentally associating your product with frustration and annoyance. If these video ads are going to be repetitive and annoying, at least make them funny.

It seems like there is nowhere on the Internet to get away from ads currently, even here, where you thought you are safe, you are now reading an ad for my newest movie (you know the one), now also available on streaming!
