Retail doesn't pay much, she's probably just got 2 jobs.

maybe it doesn't pay much, but hey, at least it drains your soul

Dutch beer brand Amstel had a long running commercial campaign that featured 3 friends enjoying their beer.
After that campaign ended, competitor Bavaria hired two of three actors and made a commercial with them enjoying a nice holiday and having them say Bavaria's tag line "Zo, nu eerst een Bavaria" (And now finally a Bavaria).

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trying to make my Dutch better, isn't that more like "So, now first a Bavaria"?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the literal translation, yes.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But in every day meaning, it would be closer to what you said? I'm struggling to understand where the "finally" concept came from, but I know some expressions carry further meaning than the words that compose it sometimes.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The word “zo” has a lot of different meanings. In this case it’s said at the end of a (difficult or long) task as filler word.

Like “zo, dat is klaar” (that’s (finally) done now), or “zo en dan nu tv kijken” (and now (finally) time to watch tv)
It doesn’t mean “so” in that case. It’s more similar to “hè hè” in that case. An expression of weariness and/or tiredness. And that’s why I translated it to “finally”. “Now this task is finished, I can finally relax with a beer”.

I hope this clears things up for you?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Aaah yes that definitely helps clear it up! And gives me a new perspective on "zo". Thanks so much for taking the time to type this up.

"In the twilight of bourgeois decadence, even the most trivial ornaments of culture shall be seized by the ruling class, for in latestage capitalism the elites will weaponize every spectacle - yes, even the egirls - to distract the proletariat from its chains." - Karl Marx

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The worst part about this is that if Karl Marx was alive today he would 100 percent be posting shit like this online. You cannot convince me that Karl Marx wasn't the 1800s equivalent of that dude giving indepth historical economic overviews to his team in CSGO.

He's probably going to be a twitch streamer if he's alive now.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 207 points 3 days ago (25 children)

Weird to think that there is some percentage of this world that still goes to BestBuy, GameStop, and watches ads on TV and that its big enough to be worth marketing to.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 92 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I’m often surprised when I hear how other people live. Conversation at work will go like:

Employee A: “Youtube ads are getting ridiculous.”

Me: “You still see Youtube ads?”

Employee B: “Yeah, just get Youtube Premium. Such a smart investment.”

Me: “Wait, what?!

Several of my millennial friends have cable TV and Tivo or something just because they are creatures of habit and are too tired from raising kids to consider changing their process. Weirdly, my boomer parents are the most tech savvy media consumers I know. They just have terrible taste.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 41 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (28 children)

This is one of those things that I go against the Lemmy hivemind on. I cut out pretty much every streaming service and sail the high seas for most of my media.But I consider YouTube Premium worth the cost.

I got grandfathered into it when Google Music shut down and I really haven't felt the need to change anything. YouTube music is better than Spotify. I don't have to constantly play the whack-a-mole game of ad blockers that will inevitably break during a YouTube update. I don't have to rely on finicky software to get videos to play in the background with my phone screen off.

Look, I get it. All these features used to be offered for free without ads. I think that more than anything is why people are so rabidly against premium, because they feel like they had that stuff stolen from them. But YouTube is a service, not a right. You were never guaranteed those features permanently. The cost of Premium is miniscule compared to the benefits I get from it. I use YouTube a LOT. Weather for how to videos, or ASMR, or background music, or documentaries, or podcasts. I like knowing that no matter where I use it, from my computer to my phone to the random smart TV in a hotel that I cast to, I'm not going to see any ads.

All this is based on the current services offered at the current price. If and when they start making those services shittier or increase the cost, then I will seek alternatives; but not before.

EDIT: I love all the many replies going "Yea but you could just use this program combined with this plugin on your locally hosted server. Just use these 3 different pieces of software. Have you tried Squootle? Just use Squootle and SEvR, bro. If you use Squootle you can download the video, recompress it, and play it from any desktop running Windows 7."

I'm sorry but who is she for me and others that don't live in a*erica because I have no clue who she is

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I live in the US and have no idea who this is because I avoid ads like the plague

I'm guessing a fairly stereotypical cute gamer girl/nerd wet dream. The kind that gets a certain type of man autistically erect. Source: my colleagues in IT

But she's obviously a lesbian. Source: I know too many

Why are there so many of these doll-people that look like they have been preserved in wax?

I'm sorry not everyone has your rugged orc-like features.

It's actually a cinematic trope, manic pixie dream girl. Basically the male version of dating a "dream girl"

This reminds me of when the "can you hear me now?" guy from Verizon moved to Sprint, I think it was. How about them Epstein files though?

Whatever Best Buy used as a filter to enlarge her eyes creeps me out. At least the Game Stop version looks like an actual person

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Look at the size of her face overall on the left, and the size on the right. Now look at where her eyebrows are on the left and where they are on the right. The camera on the left is slightly closer, her makeup is different, and her eyes are open wider. I don't think it's a filter.

All of her facial features are a bit bigger on the left, like her nose. I wonder if it's a focal length thing like this dude?

It's not a filter. She had an eye embiggening.
