  • Add to that the Democrats don’t need to discuss their policy goals (barely) at all because the Republicans have 0 desire to discuss the nuance of policy.

    I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but this is the most ignorant election cycle ever, everyone on one side is voting on their feefees, and the other side is (rightly) scared shitless by this.

    I don’t think anyone is pulling the strings, it’s just a fact of the world we live in.

    It’s pretty far down but 4815162342 (410 btw) is seemingly the first random one that I haven’t been able to make sense of I’ve tried it as the alphabet, I’ve tried it on the number pad, can someone explain what this is, or is it just a really unfortunately common number? I would’ve thought this was a decent password…

    Fortunately it wasn’t that bad, the surprising thing is how many times the math was checked.

    A very unlikely series of events, but when you roll the dice a million times those things will happen.

    More surprising is how well it was handled, I’m not sure what simulators they had at their disposal, but they were later recognized for the difficulty of their decision making and maneuvers, because in simulation other crews couldn’t replicate what they’d done (also maybe white washing the whole ordeal)


  • I will preface this with it’s not going to be for either of us to decide, there are plenty people with plenty more intelligence who have debated this topic, according to Wikipedia: “The difficulty in defining the term and subjectivity of what qualifies as a cult film mirror classificatory disputes about art.”

    However the general definition according to Google has nothing to do with it’s box office success,

    “A cult classic is a movie or other work that has a devoted following, but is often not well-known or popular with the mainstream.”

    Further on,

    "The definition of a cult classic can be difficult to define, and there are different interpretations. Some definitions include major studio productions, while others focus on more obscure films. Some definitions also exclude films that have been released by major studios, or that have tried to become cult films. "

    So it’s open to interpretation, and I’m going to stand by my list, and reinforce the notion that even if they are cult classics there’s a good chance someone looking for movies might not have seen some on this list.
