Yeah I loved the effects and the cinematography, I mean that's what makes new movies fantastic... it's a showcase of how real we can get things to look.

But the books were filled from cover to cover with worldbuilding that's a whole lot more than vistas. There's reasons and motivations that lead you to where the story begins and a failure to grasp at least some of those (Butlerian Jihad, Bene Gesserit, Guild Navigators and ofc the SPICE) leaves you with what @reddig33 said.

But the new movies seem very sterile, slow, and dull.

They are rote action movies that fail to evoke any real emotion, and that's a shame.

Ken Paxton should be under the jail.

My understanding is a number of Palestinians gathered over the rumors of aid being delivered. The IDF got nervous seeing so many in one location and shot the crowd. Numbers from yesterday were over 100 dead and 700+ wounded.

And these are the type of people we're trusting on more than just airplanes. This report should hit the desk of NASA like an anvil. Artemis depends on it.

I.Q. of a cucumber. What a dumbass. A dude even screams, "I don't need guns here I need a FIRE EXTINGUISHER!"

Braniac just keeps shifting his stance, repointing the thing as people try and help him.

Way to go little buddy. There'll be a monument built around you in the coming years.

Yeah if you watch the site for sales the Aeron can get decently cheap. Plus, consider that these chairs have a 10 year warranty, unlike the ones you pick up at an office supply store.

The Aeron really changed everything for me.

You only earn so much, though. Once you finish with requisitions it's buy only

Don't discount the fact that Israel supported us in every way when 9/11 happened. I firmly believe every favor is being called in at this point.

I suppose anyone that has any criticism whatsoever of Israel in any form is persona non grata these days.

The fact that Israel has put so much effort into changing US law to prevent anyone from claiming anything negative about Israel is a red flag that Israel needs negative things said.

I fully support the state of Israel and believe that the holocaust happened, and I will STILL call an asshat an asshat. Tough shit. Guess I'll cancel any vacation plans I ever planned in their country.

Baby steps man, baby steps. The fact that one of the has a line is a start.

 

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said Tuesday he had secured an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he plans to publish in the near future.

 

Taking a break from all the other anti-Reddit anti-Meta posts to note how much better kbin has gotten in just a short amount of time! Love the new layout and we're finally seeing lots of content from everywhere in the verse. Thanks to @ernest for all your hard work.
