Margot Robbie

Well, I was originally here to promote a movie…

And C‡ is once again not included. For shame.

Yay

Bluey is also from Queensland, so…close enough.

I’m a foreign good actor (to non-Australians), does that count?

Not to brag or anything, but I was nominated for a couple of acting awards in recent years.

Would taste better if it is slightly sweeter.

Oh yeah. Back home we used to call those a Spindly Jimothy.

Baldur’s Gate 4, but that’s unlikely to happen at this point.

I thought most people have tiles or vinyl/linoleum for their kitchen floor. Still, you do know that you can just remove and replace the damaged floorboard instead of sanding and varnishing the entire floor, right?

Speak for yourself, I first got on Lemmy to promote a movie, and the next thing I know, I was using Arch (BTW) and moderating an Android community.

I’m still not quite sure how that happened. This place.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

Winning an Oscar for the first time! (Hopefully)

That’s esteemed… generic Lemmy user who is totally not an award winning character actress to you!
