  • I guess yeah the only reason i felt like season 8 was a better production than Disney star wars was because of the previous 6-7 seasons building such a firm foundation. That’s a beautiful insult to them that their writing was seen as worse than the gold standard of slop at the time.

    at season 8 theyr recieved a mouthwatering contract for star wars and just wanted to get rid of GoT,

    If they worked on a star wars movie I’m not convinced season 8 suffered from them “rushing it” or putting anything less than every last drop of their souls into the writing.

    The rest of the comment is dead on.

    A switchback is when a trail zig-zags (reverses direction multiple times times) to reduce the slope or grade of the path up/down a hill/slope.

    Here’s an example:

    Rerouting it is just changing the location of the trail. This is done when an older trail has irreparable damage or was poorly designed leading to excess erosion or otherwise to improve quality/safety and reduce maintenance.









  • “Come off” is possibly a fluent English expression here. Taken literally anything that is removed from a plant has come off it. You’re using the expression which means something produced by the plant that is edible by function and doesn’t harm the plant to remove, usually as part of seed dispersal. E.g. fruits, nuts, berries squash, corn, grains, etc…





  • That’s not an expansion though. That’s just what it always has been(well before lemmy or even the idea of a memes board). The only filters are who is making the posts(few actually go through the effort), post activity (engagement, reposts, votes), and how you set your feed algorithm.

    Setting your algorithm to “new” was always going to yield a lot of random thoughts regardless of platform while “active” or “hot” would filter out the low engagement stuff.

    Limiting to “tied to established themes” or trying to set some form of overton window on what a meme is will only inhibit creativity, overwhelm moderation(what’s even established? Does it need to derive from something on kym? Reference it? Where to even start), and push people away.
