Usually I don't believe these quotes, but it's attributed and there's her picture, so it must be true.

[–] SuckMyWang 52 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Plus it’s on the internet so bonus trust points there

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The only thing that could make it more true is if michael scott said it somewhere

[–] STRIKINGdebate2 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I know a guy who knows Michael Scott and he said Michael Scott said this as well.

[–] SuckMyWang 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

My dog overheard you saying that and he told me in a dream that it is true

"This is a real quote, because nobody would ever pretend to be a famous person just to lie on the Internet." - Margot Robbie, Internet forum moderator and occasional actress

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait you mean academy award winning actress Margot Robbie? She has some good quotes.

[–] MargotRobbie 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But see, I finally got you to say it. 😁

Also, Academy Award Nominated, and hopefully finally winning it on the next one for Barbie.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Ah fair fair. I am not a movie person, and less an awards person, I just remember seeing you post that all over lol. Good luck!

[–] Noodle07 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The ressemblance with the actress is striking

[–] MargotRobbie 4 points 11 months ago

I did have a movie out this year and may have promoted it just a little bit here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

If saw definitive proof that the person behind this account was anyone other than Margot Robbie, no I didn't,

Living in a part of the world where we don’t really tip I have to ask, is tipping your landlord really a thing?

[–] [email protected] 84 points 11 months ago (2 children)

"Tipping the landlord" Some landlord/employer posted on Twitter how none of their employees/tenants are grateful for the nice things the capitalist provides them with. They said that they'd like to get tipped occasionally. It might have been a shitpost, but it blew up. Now, 'tipping the landlord' is an internet gag line. No one in real life tips their land lord.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ah, get it. Thanks for explaining.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

In addition to that. It's probably mocking these places where it asks if you want to leave a tip when you didn't see a single employee your entire visit. Or counter service/fast food etc.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Its' all good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I always thought that it mocks the idea of giving tip for everything everywhere to highlight that tipping is not a very good practice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Always look at it from the other side. If you're making minimum wage, every extra dollar counts.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's as real as Kids requesting litter boxes in school because they identify as a furry, it's just meme BS that a specific political group has latched on to and bitch about. It's definitely not real.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I don't think I've seen anyone bring this up in any way other than satire

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Until I joined Lemmy I would have agreed with you.

EDIT: Unless you are talking about the litterbox thing, I have heard this brought up as legitimate discussion before. I quickly squashed that conversation, but there are (stupid) people out there that believe it.

[–] Chocrates 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I have never seen it and I've been renting for 20 years (omg thst is so depressing). I can imagine a landlord with a poorly set up payment processor possibly having it, but that is a stretch

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

In my experience the only thing like this would be the bullshit service or convenience fees.

Add on that most places won't accept cash and you need a money order.

I'm just sick of spending money to spend money

[–] Blue_Morpho 3 points 11 months ago

It’s as real as Kids requesting litter boxes

That was a more subtle disinformation deflection by conservatives. Schools did need litter boxes for mandated mass shooting lockdown preparations.

Instead of the horror of children needing to use litter boxes because American conservatives cant regulate their firearms, it was, "Haha, liberals want litter boxes for furries."

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it's just a joke that if you tip your landlord, you are really stupid or attracted to him.

[–] MotoAsh 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yea. Why tip someone that's pocketing money that could otherwise be building your equity? Landlords are quite literally just leeches.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A while back, there was this thing where some very out of touch landlords were whining about having to actually do things for their tenants and that tenants should tip them for this. Naturally, they were rightfully shamed and ridiculed for it and it never caught on, but the way I first heard about it was seeing another landlord agreeing with the original post.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

It (used?) to be expected to tip your maintenance man at the end of the year in big apartment buildings (there's even a friends episode about it). Some scummy landlords try to claim that they are the maintenance man and more and so deserve a tip. I have personally had landlords ask for it,
