I'm using my real name because I was here to virally promote a movie, just like all the other celebrities on reddit before.

It was a very successful promotion.

How did you feel about acting in barbie?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

I'm still on strike... Please go support it. Thanks.

What? Are you supposing you are actually Margot Robbie

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People don’t just make things up on the internet. I’m kinda stoked to be responding to a comment on a Margot Robbie comment.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Yay.

Need all the help I can get for my Oscar campaign.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Of course I am, why else did you think I spent 2 months here discussing the importantance of sincerity in an increasingly commercialized and absurd hyperconsumerist world, as well as the need for jaded adults to reject cynicism and regain their humanity?

I didn't mention the name of the movie here so it's not a promo, so, still not against strike rules.

I like not being easily identifiable on social media. When I was a kid my parents taught me to not reveal my real name on the internet and nowadays it seems that your real life and internet life should be the same.

One of my nicknames growing up was Lil Miss Potatoes. But now I'm a grown up, so I'm Lady Taters.

I didn't. It's my IRL nickname. It means 'short circuit' (as in 'easily frustrated'). I'm the opposite of it, I'm the calmest person on this planet. My friends thought it would be funny. (the full word spells 'Kurzschluss')

Step 1: Download https://www.eff.org/files/2016/07/18/eff_large_wordlist.txt

Step 2: run the following in the terminal

shuf -n 20 eff_large_wordlist.txt

Step 3: choose two good looking words from the output

Step 4: smoosh them together with optional underscore or capitalization

Now you have a tasty username worth sharing with friends and family!
