If these scabs really need something to do to kill time during the strike, might I suggest moderating an online forum?

It's fun.

i really appreciate you taking the time out of your normally-busy schedule to just be in the river of shit with the rest of us. really makes us feel like our trudge work is worth some respect.

Hey, gotta try new things when you have time right?

Kinda owe it to you guys for me doing the movie promo here.

[–] MartinXYZ@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You did a Barbie promo on Lemmy?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, have you ever wondered why !reddit@lemmy.world has that banner?

Check my older comments too.

I'm still not convinced you're not someone roleplaying as Margot Robbie.

[–] Qwaffle_waffle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Does it matter? No one knows if you're a dog on the internet.

[–] MartinXYZ@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

No, I guess not. Woof!

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Exactly. Can't get canceled for saying dumb things on the Internet if I'm not verified.

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Margot Robbie is far too hot to hang around us goofballs.

[–] MartinXYZ@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

saying dumb things on the Internet

You'll fit right in, even if you are just somebody roleplaying as Margot Robbie

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Just grow weed and sell them.

Ask our admins. I can handle the android comm OK, but just need energy to do some writing.

If you like, please help out Gabe at literature.cafe, he's nice, and I do want to see more creative writing stuff here.

Watch it! You're on strike, remember?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The WGA rules only prohibits writing for struck companies.

Also, you do realize WGA and SAG-AFTRA are two different unions, right?

I didn't actually, but it would still look bad if someone from SAG started writing their own scripts, right? Wouldn't that still be scabbing(is that the word?)?
