@ShamashAran The book is good and (spoiler) has more time to develop the relationship between Grace & Rocky. Also, I really like the added scientific details of what and why Rocky’s species messed up.
@Oilfield_Rando It is good that the rest of the building had adequate safety margin to handle transfer of load to other columns and lateral loads from the sagging floor.
@zerohedge I consider these statistics to be worthless without context. This isn't a graph of money that should be mine or anyone else's. It only serves to make people envious and piss them off. So, let's look at disposable income over that same time span.
Yeah, this is about a narcissistic actress trying to use wokeness to frame the debate around her.
If the movie bombs, she’ll be vindicated and the next actress will do the same.
OK. So Helen’s beauty sparks a war.
Athena is a strategic goddess guiding Odysseus.
Penelope embodies clever loyalty.
Circe turns men into pigs, which frankly is still the most realistic female character arc in literature.
Calypso traps the hero on an island for seven years.
Cassandra can literally see the future but nobody listens, making her the first woman in recorded history to experience a meeting.
The Sirens weaponize music.
Nausicaa saves Odysseus when he washes up naked and useless.
Andromache gives one of the most devastating anti-war speeches in the Iliad.
Hecuba is basically the emotional wreckage of empire in human form.
Aphrodite starts half the problems in Western civilization by being hot and petty.
Hera is running divine opposition research.
Thetis gets Zeus involved because Achilles is having a workplace dispute.
But apart from Helen, Athena, Penelope, Circe, Calypso, Cassandra, the Sirens, Nausicaa, Andromache, Hecuba, Aphrodite, Hera, and Thetis...
WHAT HAS HOMER EVER DONE TO GIVE FEMALE CHARACTERS ATTENTION?
