After I'm gone, how would everyone I've loved remember me?

My favorite movie to watch at this time of year, or any time of the year for that matter, has to be the multiple Golden Globe nominated sensation of 2023, Barbie, which, coincidentally, is also available on Blu-Ray and select streaming services.

You should watch it too.

Why does this question needs to be asked when the answer is always going to be "yes!"?

It's the holidays. And the strike is over, I have work and can't spend that much time shitposting on social media anymore.

I like "Escargot", because snails are cute and it rhymes with "Margot".

I've expressed this before, but there needs to be a federated alternative to challenge Fandom, especially after they bought out every single independent wiki like Memory-Alpha and WowWiki, and then filled them with ads.

Barbie!

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

No comment.

I don't know about that, I could be a dog on the Internet.

Also, that's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

Wow, it's almost as if actors are people who does modern people things, like having lunch breaks at work.

Somebody on Lemmy actually seriously told me that I would never eat fast food, as if we're a different species or something.

Lemmy's biggest competitor at this point isn't reddit, it's Discord, or rather, the monster it has become. It seems to me that instead of creating a subreddit nowadays, every project now wants to use a Discord server for everything.

The problem with that is:

1. Asking messages in a big, open chatroom (over, say, 20 people) gets real messy, real quickly.
2. Conversations on Discord are difficult to follow when multiple of them are going at once.
3. The conversations containing solutions to problems in chat or threads are not search indexable, which is the reason why reddit became quietly dominant in search results, it is simply the biggest centralized repository of organized English language text conversations available.

So why do people insist on using Discord servers to build their community? Simple, it's the network effect. If somebody wants tech support, it's way easier to click a Discord invite on an account for group chat you already have than it is to sign up for yet another forum that you only use once. But Lemmy doesn't suffer from that problem of traditional forums because of federation.

Which brings me to my point, if Lemmy is to grow, it's better to sell Lemmy to disgruntled Discord admins and forum owners to move their community than it is to get people to move off reddit at this point, since people who wants to leave reddit has all done so at this point.

Look for Goodyear welted boots, if the soles wear out, you can take it to a cobbler to resole them.

@MicroWave@lemmy.world, care to comment on your creative process?

Here's one that's lazy, pretty much foolproof, and uses all canned food from the pantry. (If you know what it's called, good for you.)

1. Add oil to stockpot, put in anchovies, dried red pepper, and garlic, fry it up a little bit until it smells good.
2. Add in a can of crushed tomatoes, drained olives, and caper. Boil, then simmer.
3. Cook some spaghetti to al dente(approximately 6-7 minute, SALT THE WATER, DON'T OIL THE WATER)
4. Drain the pasta and mix into sauce, add olive oil and Parmesan to taste, serve.

A magical school sim/manager. Imagine how cool it would be to build your own Hogwarts with moving staircases and hidden rooms and passageway, and watch the world of magic come alive as students go about their daily school life.

That, or an actually good AAA Barbie game.

In general, drunk me is the last person I would ever trust with literally anything.

It's like waking up in the morning and reading your own drunk text messages.

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.

Winning an Oscar for the first time! (Hopefully)

I think this could actually be someone impersonating a famous mountain on Twitter, however, the account is verified with a Blue Checkmark, so this must be the real Mt. St. Helens then.

But how could this be possible?
