Well we'll probably find out soon enough.

You have to change the polls page filter to "all types" to find it, so the abuse potential is somewhat limited anyway.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah, but my (stolen) halo sits the perfect jaunty angle as it rests on my horns.

What & Where's the argument?

there is no argument. After seeing poll after poll, I thought it was a feature. Seems to be cleverly disguised and somewhat hidden for reasons listed above.

In my experience, management vacuity is redundant - every manager I have worked for was vacuous.

Wow. I'm surprised that you're as well adjusted as you are.
I guess I was lucky to have many good managers.

If you're expecting your manager to know all the details of your job, then you wouldn't have the job. You have to manage their expectations.

nonsense. have a beer.
I expect my manager to keep the idiots out of my cube or office. Watches over spec changes and defends his/her group.
better, the manager needs to know their role and not be a twit.

I expect my manager to:
- Do the necessary tasks so that I can perform my job
- Keep morons of all levels out of my office.
And yes, I've had managers who apparently thought that the best way to get a project done was to demand status reports three times a day.

compared to David Lynch's 1984 version: a dud. disappointing: i'm a fan of Denis Villeneuve's other films. even worse than the 2000 tv mini=series.
Timothee Chalamat as Paul Atreides/Muad Dib is a pouting wimp, who is as miscast in this as he was in "The King" where he played Prince Hal.
Zendaya, a fine young actress just at the start of her career, as Chani, the Fremen love-interest: wooden.
Stellan Skarsgard, a world-class actor, as Baron Harkonnen, never given a chance to "shine."
Vague shapes of people wandering around in acres of sand and dust, with an in-your-face sound-track.

And the David Lynch version was bad enough. But to be fair it was really an impossible book to make into a decent film.

for me the Lynch 1984 version remains ... fantastic ... taking into account the state of special effects at that time, remarkable. Compared to its sequels, it is character-driven as much as it is plot driven.
Kyle MacLachlan was superb in portraying the inner conflicts of boy-turned-teen thrust into manhood and responsibility by his father's death, and violent crisis.
Plus you had the stellar supporting cast at their peak: Patrick Stewart, Brad Dourif, Dean Stockwell, Virginia Madsen, José Ferrer, Sting, Linda Hunt and Max von Sydow.
Lynch doesn't "feel good" about it now: [^].
If only Lynch had been able to release the version he wanted to !
