What the fuck are the studios gonna do, make movies and shows without actors?

Highlights: The negotiating committee of the actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, told its members on Saturday that it had received a “Last, Best and Final Offer” from the major entertainment studios as a strike that has brought much of Hollywood to a standstill continued for a 114th day.

“We are reviewing it and considering our response within the context of the critical issues addressed in our proposals,” the negotiating committee said. They did not say when they would respond to the offer, which came after an hourlong video conference call that included top studio executives.

Included in the offer was a wage increase that could be the highest in four decades, according to a person familiar with the offer who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations. The studios also offered the actors a new way to determine residuals for streaming programs based on performance metrics, and protections on artificial intelligence, including consent and compensation requirements. The studios also offered an increase to the pension and health funds.

Oh look, it’s fake Margot Robbie again

You leave our Margot alone!

Pretty sure that's the real Margot Robbie, check their post history! It's really cool that Margs is part of the community!!

oh yeah, check the post history, some how Margot Robbie is an expert in programming IDEs: https://lemm.ee/comment/5424323

Pretty sure this is some Linux nerd running an elaborate joke. Nothing in Margot Robbie’s bio, or interviews suggest a background or interest in programming.

Knowing the difference between VS and VSCode hardly makes me an expert on IDEs. Even if the subject came up (and it never does), why would I ever brag about having basic knowledge of random subjects on national TV?

Also, if I remember correctly, wasn't there this recent summer blockbuster where the female protagonist defying stereotype and saying something unexpectedly knowledgeable or insightful was a recurring (and somewhat overused) joke?

But some inexplicable reason, I just can't recall the name of that movie, only in theater July 21st.

Have you ever mentioned Lemmy in any official communication?

Because I would love to see any tangible proof it's the real MR.

I'll wait post strike, no hurry here.

Jokes aren't as funny if you explain them.

When the right time comes, you'll know.

Well you can see she has a lot of newfound spare time with the strikes, it's possible she just picked it up. It's also possible that she keeps that part of her life private.

Throughout the profile there's tons of proof it's her, she makes references to the strikes and her movies constantly! There's even a picture of herself as the profile pic!!

Just because Margot is an actress doesn't mean she doesn't program, be a little bit open minded. I think it's pretty neat that she's an expert in programming IDE's now, maybe Lemmy is what sparkled her interest to learn!

Edit: Your name is phoneymouse! I looked up the definition of phoney. According to Marian Webster it means "not genuine or real.". I think you're projecting!

Bro, learn to take a joke.
