lead actress in the Terminator movies - Linda Hamilton
right:
Fran Drescher, lead actress in “The Nanny” from the 90s. www.imdb.com/name/nm0000376/ as well as other things, of course. but this is what i remember her from.
I didn’t either until this thread. Fran Drescher is the current president of the screen actors guild and I assume this has something to do with the writers strike. I guess AI content like images and stories, plus their own likeness and brands, is an issue in the strike.
I’m not paying any attention to the writers strike because I haven’t really consumed any new hollywood movies or tv shows in quite a while. Hollywood just isn’t relevant anymore and they know it, there’s just too much content online and other things to keep busy for me to care about their garbage.
Fran is quite well known for her role in The Nanny, and a pertinent scene is one where she fights not to cross a picket (strike) line, and her employer forces her across.
So a lot of us who remember this scene are all having a little extra giggle about the whole deal.
Thats where I know her from (getting old), but I know nothing of her during the strike (in fact, I know little about the strike, only that there is a on going strike).
I always think of this article about how her surviving a home invasion and assault and then having a violent stalker while she was doing the Nanny led to the creation of the role of professional laughers for live studio audiences:
Real talk: Opioid abuse. I somehow never became addicted, but I did use them recreationally. I did have legitimate medical issues (gull stones, before surgery). But sometimes I just liked the high. With that said, opioids can cause delayed poops. Many other factors too, like dehydration, not enough fiber and GI conditions.
But anyone that’s somehow purposely holding it that long should see a doctor, and counseling.
Seriously. One full day and I feel like someone attached a balloon to my spleen and is filling it with lead shot. I am noticably uncomfortable to the point of it being distracting. I can’t even imagine someone living 2/3 of their life like that.
I think the way it’s implemented is good. You can get your validation by seeing the upvotes on a single post or comment, but since the basic interface itself doesn’t total them, people aren’t as driven to say things just for the upvotes. It’s like those speed signs that tell you how fast you’re going: if you measure something like that, people will try to get the “top score” (which is why most of those have been replaced with ones that just say “too fast” over a certain speed).
Since the counts are there, individual apps can sum them up and display that, but it’s not basic to Lemmy.
