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.
She/Her, Also @MargotRobbie@lemmy.world
Academy Award nominated character actress, clown psychiatrist, Duchess of Bay Ridge, and plastic doll.
She is all of us, yet I’m not her, but sometimes I play her on TV.
So what will be my ending?

Lemmy doesn’t have Karma, it’s not visible on the webUI currently and will be completely removed in the next version.
Phew. For a moment I thought I might have got some of them wrong there.
In case anyone didn’t get this comic, each of these panel is a literal illustration of the name of a famous band, which are:
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.
Love it. Unions got us to where we are, and we are thankful for them.
Strikes work.
A certain movie starring a certain actress was shown only in theater this July.
Have you watched the ending of that movie? Refusing to participate in a broken system is always an option.
If you would like to support your favorite creators, buying their merchandise or donating to them would be far more effective.
Most industries should do remote work as much as possible, specifically the ones that involves sitting in front of a computer all day: less traffic on the road, no commute time, more commercial office real estate that can be converted to housing/shops…
I don’t really see the downside to any of this except to micro-managers.
Celebrities shamelessly selling out and publicly writing blatant repetitive advertisement? How could they do such a thing?
Anyways, that movie, now also available on streaming services!
I’m not cheap, I’m frugal, there is a difference.
Paying Google for them to stop shoving ads in my face doesn’t feel like a good purchase and I don’t want to support that kind of behavior, and I’m smart enough to use uBlock Origin and ReVanced (Little bit of a struggle though.)
It’s more about principle than anything else.
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!
I’m not a doctor, I just played a clown doctor on TV.
Don’t go takin’ medical advice from me on anythin’ now.
Messing with tech nerds IS really funny.
(I still 💖 you guys though)
From one Australian woman to another, she should have used that energy and tried acting instead.
Everybody plays a character of the person they want to present to the world on social media, so there needs to be more awareness that even if you can see their faces and hear their voices, you still can’t blindly trust people to be who they claimed to be online, and you should always exercise a healthy dose of skepticism on what you read or watched.
Trust me, after all, why would Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie ever lie to you?
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.
