The original graphic novel had a transgender character. It also portrayed Desire as genderless.
In one volume, Dream manifests as a black man who falls in love with a woman in ancient times. Characters appearances change all the time in the comics depending on the time period and location.
The person who wrote the graphic novel was also one of the show runners.
Also, one character was changed to a female because Netflix didn't have the rights to John Constantine.
There is nothing at all to be angry about.
A lot of talk about the girl being hateable but that dude working on donuts while everyone else is freaking out working their ass off? After being told explicitly to work on prep? Way worse imo.
But to be fair that character is a lot less realistic and lacks anything resembling self awareness.
I did the Bonnells curbside meal for the first time yesterday and I don't regret it. I figured it wouldn't be up to par with his normal stuff because it's cheaper but everything tasted incredible.
Just got back from a trip there. I went to London, Liverpool, and Edinburg in 11 days. London was fun but probably my least favorite of the three. Everything was cool but I honestly felt like after the 4th day I was kind of done with it. Keep in mind it was historically hot so that might affect my opinion.
Liverpool was surprisingly really cool and a fun city to grab a drink in. The people there are just super nice and as soon as they hear your accent, they want to talk. My affection for The Beatles and Liverpool FC probably make me like it more than some.
Edinburg is great and we should have spent more time there. Every single person I met in the way up told me I should go to Glasgow and insisted Glasgow was more fun. Just relaying that.
Leaving Edinburg right now. Heading to London where it's about to be 101 degrees somehow.
Namaste Katmando had really good poppadoms and dumplings. Didn't get to spend much time there because I spent Saturday at the Open. Would love to go back soon.
Turned my phone off all day yesterday cuz I'm at the lake cabin in Maine. Thought I'd check Surly real quick before bed and ended up scrolling through news of 5 commits for about 8 pages of this thread.
Obviously I know what I have to do. Phone will be off again all day today.
It seems like Brunson really wants to be the guy controlling the offense. Kevin O'Connor mentioned Brunson slipped said something to that effect to him earlier this season and his dad basically came out and said it.
On the one hand I get it. Who wouldn't want to be the man?
On the other hand it gives me big Devin Harris vibes. Have fun for a season but your game isn't multifaceted and the league will figure you out real quick if a team is depending on you too much.
Went there last week. They played exclusively early 2000's emo punk, had decent beers, pretty bad wings, and bad service.
Fort Brewery, Hopfusion better spots for a group hangout.
Feta cheese smells (and I can only assume tastes) like cat vomit and all these Texas bbq and Mexican joints putting it on beans and tacos to seem impressive should just stop already.
Hurtado's in Arlington. Really solid. Ribs and sausage better than the brisket. Buddy said there's one opening in Pilot Point today.
There was basically no line and they were good at taking orders and getting food out fast.
In baseball maybe?
Scottie Barnes helped elevate Toronto to a top 5 record in year one. Evan Mobley completely transformed Cleveland in his first year.
Luka was immediately the best player on his team and took them to the playoffs in year 2. MVP candidate by year 3.
I spent 3 months wanting the Mavs to take Dennis Smith Jr and was stoked when we got him.
On the other hand, I wanted Luka for like a year before the draft.
Add that up together and I could still do better than any Sacramento GM.
Which is why I referenced the league totals as well.
Jordan won in the 90's rather than the 80's because he had a better coach, better teammates, and fewer super teams to compete against once Bird, Magic and Isaiah were old.
Nobody was doing anything to Jordan in the 80's to limit him and no rule change altered the trajectory of his success.
Jordan had better playoff statistics and shooting numbers when he was losing in the 80s than when he was winning in the 90s. His team just got better and his opponents got worse. Just a bad take by that dude.
Jordan had fewer FT attempts per game in the 90s than the 80s.
The entire league dropped in FT attempts. The league also dropped in points per game.
Kinda seems like you're making stuff up.
