Whenever Kevin O’leary says anything, everything comes into context if you know how he got to be as rich as he is today.

The short version of the story is Kevin O’leary destroyed the entire educational game industry by buying everyone out and took on massive amount of debt, misrepresented his company’s financial condition so Mattel was left holding the bag when they acquired The Learning Company in what was called one of the worst acquisitions in history, was subsequently fired and almost took down Mattel with him, and he has been coasting on that money he took from Mattel ever since.

This has lead directly to the resignation of then Mattel CEO Jill Barad, the woman who made Barbie what it is today.

I find it incredibly ironic for him, of all people, to be talking about conducting employment background checks.

Would you expect anything less from esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie?

I know, it’s like Hollywood will make a movie out of literally anything nowadays. It’s a Pop-Tarts movie today, but what’s next? A movie based on Monopoly? The Sims? Barbies (now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services)?

I mean, can you imagine?

There is a time and place to play a wacky self-parody for laughs (for example, on an obscure Internet technology forum), but an adaptation of one of the darkest storyline in Marvel comics involving Gorr the God Butcher sure isn’t it.

Gorr was an effective character because 1. he was extremely successful in accomplishing his goal and 2. he was right (partially, at least) about the nature of gods being selfish and indifferent which caused the self doubts in Thor, and the key point of the storyline was that in accomplishing his goal, Gorr became a hypocrite who embodies the very traits he used as reasons for his god-butchering. Neither of these ideas were effectively adapted for this movie, so what’s the point of using Gorr the God Butcher.

The actors’ individual performance really isn’t the issue, because even the best performance from the best actors can’t save a flawed script, critics will just call it a wasted performance.

Reposts has always been a major issue on reddit, there are an infamous moderator who would delete posts with traction and repost it himself for karma.

Using bots to duplicate comments on reposts is a new low though.

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated (and incredibly humble) character actress Margot Robbie to you!

MargotRobbie, 22 days ago

It’s definitely not a new issue, but it’s only gotten worse since reddit has gone more and more mainstream.

If you follow me on Lemmy since last year, you should know that I’ve always been extremely against having bots posting here.

This bit is way funnier when it’s a real person saying it instead of a bot.

It is as Benjamin Franklin once said: “Life is microplastics, it’s micro-fantastic.”

Google Docs, I guess?

Not really a big fan of them though.

We highly recommend only mentioning the brand name of your product since mentioning links in posts makes the post more likely to be reported as spam and hidden.

Like Barbie™, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming service!

Because a car company would know how to make decent cars after two decade?

Also, speaking of manipulating comment sections with posts designed to promote products by mentioning them naturally, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated movie, “Barbie”, is now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services.

I, for one, can’t wait to have some of Applebee’s mouthwatering Bar Bees.

You are telling me that one of the most prolific and influential artist of our time, 5 time Grammy Award winning musician Weird Al Yankovic, would run his own social media account on a niche platform to crack jokes and shitpost on the Internet, as if celebrities are just regular people at the end of the day?

I don’t know, maybe this is one of those “novelty account” I’ve heard so much about here.

Cloaks are not practical compared to a heavy coat: it doesn’t keep you as warm because there are no zippers or buttons to fasten it all the way, and you can’t use your arms or hand at all with a heavy cloak on because it doesn’t have sleeves, and it doesn’t have any pockets.

If you want to wear it for the sake of fashion, go for it, but prepared to be frustrated.

Have you checked out the buying guide on the sidebar yet?

Xiaomi phones tend to have more active custom rim communities since they have historically been fairly liberal with bootloader unlocks. Make sure it covers your provider’s frequency bands if you buy the global version and you live in the US, for example, otherwise you may have reception issues.

Still, the Zenfone 10 is probably your safest bet if a 3.5mm jack is mandatory for you.

Do you think we will see alternative wallet apps pop up from Cashapp or PayPal or even directly from bank apps? Also, would they be able to support the other non-payment functions of electronic wallets with transportation/event tickets and such?

Instead of pretending to be his own infant son (which is really, really weird) , it would be much funnier if he made an alt account pretending to be a bad impersonation of himself, if he has a sense of humour, that is.

That way, he can say things without having it link back to him and stay under the radar, after all, who in the right mind would ever expect an unverified “Elon Musk” Twitter account to be ran by the actual Elon Musk?

I don’t understand how he even have time to be so terminally online when he’s running like 5 different companies.

They should switch the name to Wayland.com as a compromise.

Fellow lemmings, for me, it’s “Barbie”, a movie that aged beautifully over the last uh, 8 months, and its message is as relevant today as it was when it was released July 21st of 2023.
