Thibi2000··on Based Cooking
Not everything is as it seems.
Thibi2000··on Based Cooking
Put the toilet paper rolls off your eyes and go take a look at his other work, primarily his Youtube channel. Based is not a word that is owned and primarily used by white nationalists; it's used by many different people. It's undeniable that he has controversial and non-conformist opinions(which is what "being based" usually means), but none of them are based on or related to racial discrimination.

You might have to check the value of =org-babel-python-wrapper-method=, which defines the format of the created temporary file to which the source block is exported so it can be executed properly.

After installing matplotlib using pip3 and changing =org-babel-python-command= to python3 I was able to execute this example without a problem.

The value of =org-babel-python-wrapper-method= for me is:

  def main():
  %s

  open('%s', 'w').write( str(main()) )"
Thibi2000··on Why Do We Keep Reading the Great Gatsby?
Having similarities doesn't mean something is a crappy version. What's behind the similarities is different as well, for example the reason for their obsession with the past. I'm sure you can find similarities between many stories when you do it in such a vague way.

Besides that, there's more to those books than the main plot. I always assumed that TGG is this well regarded because of themes it handles and how they're presented by the story of Gatsby. The same goes for The Count of Monte Cristo. I find them to be too different to call on even a version of the other, let alone a crappy one.

Aren't you taking a stretch here? Plotwise, both protagonists have different reasons to attain their goals. And besides the plot, don't they handle different topics?
