Hear me out. Next Gen “reboot” ala Strange new worlds where Affleck is an older Riker nearing the end of his command of the Titan.

You know what. I think Star Trek may be what he needs in life. The community and fambase coupled with a supporting cast he could have an extremely quiet and happy career.

Is…is he okay? Like genuinely?

Who cares. He’s an over rated douchebag.
AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Right. As opposed to you, who is clearly a stellar example of empathy and humanity.

I think he’s been going through some kind of divorce.

And all this time, I thought it was JLo making him that unhappy. Maybe he just has resting sad face.

This is definitely a thing, and I am so tired of people asking me what’s wrong.

Every time we see him it’s like he’s ready to check himself into a mental hospital. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Just an observation.

I don’t know how to get emotional support

Not Dunkin’ apparently. He’s on the way back and looking no better. Maybe Starbies has what he needs?

The only emotional support i have found is from myself. When friends/family say “don’t worry, buddy, it will get better” i recognize that they mean well but those sayings do nothing for me—in fact, they feel invalidating of my emotions.
FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 2 hours ago
Exactly! In contrast to that, if I experience “it getting better” it’s a totally different thing.
When a friend of mine needs help I try to be sensitive but it’s still possible that I’ll drop a “Don’t worry, buddy, it will get better” myself. It’ll be honest, though.

He always looks like he knows he’s a piece of shit and feels bad about it.

What did he do?
Ifera@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Allegedly, he was aware of Harvey Weinstein’s abuse, at least according to Rose McGowan. And since a lot of people are reactionary as fuck, since she accused him of being aware, then they act and behave as if he was undoubtedly aware and complicit in it.
sartalon@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Can’t believe people are down voting you.
Even Lemmy has tunnel vision on their celebrity idols.
Dude is a fucking douchebag and way overrated as an actor and director.
Who the fuck always casts themselves in their own movies and is NOT a d-bag.

I don’t care. Their boos fuel me.

I resent rich people in general but I fucking hate this feckless buffoon especially. Professionally, he ruined Batman. Personally, he doesn’t understand the difference between race and religion when it comes to people who practice Islam and that’s both reductive and patronizing. Fuck Ben Affleck.

If you “hate” a random actor, then that’s kind of a you problem, and you should probably consider therapy, or at the very least, spend less time online.
He’s never done anything to harm you, he’s just lived his life. He may not be a perfect person but no one is.
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 6 hours ago
I have known a good number of actors in my life. Some were TV show stuff and one I know for sure was in movies.
hating an actor is actually a big compliment. as big as love. not knowing who they are or knowing who they are and not caring is the biggest slight you can have for them.

I heard he liked to screw women in a very uncomfortable place.

You hate a person you’ll never meet and who will likely never know your name??
Damn dude that kind of shit must take a lot of energy. Pop off tho
I’ve always been fascinated by people who hate celebrities. Again, the amount of energy it takes to actually HATE something. I reserve that kind of energy for well, things I need to hate lmao.
That being said I do remember the clip you’re talking about where he went off on a panel because somebody suggested Islam is oppressive to women. You’re spot on there
forrgott@lemm.ee 5 hours ago
I reserve that energy for shit that actually matters. Hated is just a way to give power over yourself to your enemies.
AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
You know those signs that say “X Number of Days Since the Last Accident”, and then you go in and change the number accordingly? If you have one that says “X Number of Days Since I was a Childish Asshole for No Reason” you should go ahead and change it to “0”.

I don’t get this – his expression matches nearly every other 40+ white dude minding his own business that I’ve ever seen. These pics/posts have strong “you should smile more” energy

This might be one of the few good things about widespread AI adoption -the value of real-life images and videos must be depreciating when anyone can just generate whatever images they want and most of the audience won’t know or care for the difference.
Or worse (for the paparazzi) - audiences will assume or become convinced that the real photos are AI generated anyway.
With GenAI maybe we can stop taking so many meaningless pictures and videos of people just living their goddamn lives, or people doing dangerous or stupid shit for clout…
Right? Maybe? … I hope?

It’s literally what you sign up for when you become a career actor, though.
I’m actually a very talented actor, but I never had any interest in pursuing it as a career for exactly this reason.
Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 hour ago
It really has to do a number on the brain to be so justifiably paranoid at all times.
That pic of Jonah Hill comes to mind, where he’s just absolutely not having it when he thinks someone is running up and recording him, and then relaxes when he realizes it’s Dicaprio.
And then you realize that the moment was captured on camera, so he actually was being surveilled at that exact moment.
A lot of celebrities are just terrible humans, but surely at least part of that is from the influence of being surrounded and surveilled by equally terrible people at all times. Not an excuse, just a sad observation.
