  • The bent pyramid is so cool, it’s the second pyramid they built that fucked up. Once they had to change the angle to stop the burial chambers from collapsing, they started work on the 3rd and final Red pyramid, which they nailed and buried Sneferu in.

    They used all that knowledge that they gained in failure directly to create the great pyramid. It’s a unbroken chain of engineering marvels!


  • IMO there’s also a contingent of people who are demotivated to participate. Lack of participation hurts Biden more than trump.

    Despite the danger, Trump doesn’t feel like an imminent threat to most people. He’s not motivating enough alone to bring out Democratic voters. However you do have a bunch of shit demotivating those voters. Gaza, money, immigration. The only big motivator is abortion, and Biden kinda flubbed that.

    A Dem win will be on abortion alone at this point, unless something huge changes.

    What does this mean, you admit this particular show is not very good but might eventually be good?

    This stupid woke/dei shit is just the culture war du jour, if the product that was being released was excellent, there wouldn’t be as much fuel to call a show bad for whatever reason.

    But as the previous poster noted, there have been properties that were celebrated on release because they are good. The first Mandalorian episodes meet a near orgasmic fervor.

    Acolyte at best is maybe just ok to not very compelling imo, that’s up against the other now recent star wars properties like Andor, which is and was critically acclaimed. The argument just falls apart when you use an objectively not very good show like Acolyte.
