There’s a show Matt LeBlanc did called “Episodes” which was about a married couple of UK writers trying to adapt their successful UK show for the US market.

In the show the UK version had the female lead male lead be non-romantic. LeBlanc explains to them why due to the volume of material they have to create for a season why these had to be romantically tied and how the “will they/won’t they” be a basis for a lot of those shows.

If you wanted to make a traditional US series of roughly 5-10 hours of material a year (22 episodes 44 minutes long or 22 at 22minutes) you would need to set up some form of tension or have a built in expiration date for the story as there won’t be enough if the premise is “these people are friends”.

Note: This is a USnetwork specific problem. If you do 6 30 minute episodes there wouldnt be a need for this relationship

Im not. Im explaining why someone might only have that job available.

If your conclusion was that Im defending pedophilia you need to seek help in remedial English as you have a significant skill issue on a very basic level

Michael Moore had a TV show for a season. One part of one episode was dedicated to this as it was happening. Rusty Cundeiff, the writer and star of “Fear of a Black Hat”, hosts the bit. It’s worth 6-7 minutes.

It isn’t the drugs that creates the hangover effect in this case. It’s messing up the sleep cycle that does it.

Yes, it is. It might not be true for you today but it is coming or an early death is.

I just like whisk(e)y

By 40s your body really prefers a regimented lifestyle as much as possible to remain comfortable. Dropping acid would throw off my sleep schedule for a few days and I normally cannot afford to do that. I would have to do it at the beginning of a week long vacation.

That being said I could totally dance my ass off for like an hour, go home and then shower, have a beer and go back later.

I didn’t take this personally. It seems you did not understand that the person tweeting this was not going to do drugs at the rave and that’s why they mentioned naps.

Your last post says “Rolling and trippibg are still around” so I think you did.

Yes and many of us who are over 40 aren’t going to do either. It takes days for a minor hangover to pass. Im not dropping acid at 50.

Odds are they have and just aren’t going to use the same drugs as they did at 20.

Someone needs to check in on Ben as I don’t think he’s ok.

Not everyone is logical who engages in “history”. Not everyone who writes history adjacent materials ate actually good at providing an informed and unbiased look at a subject.

For example Ben Shapiro has written a US history book. It’s dogshit.

The people who aren’t so ignorant to think she is trying for office in 2028.

Rodham is her maiden name.

Ah yes the sound logic of blaming everyone in a country for the actions of that country.

Applying that line of thinking to WWII Germany would mean the victims of the Holocaust were to blame for the holocaust. As that would be an offensive and moronic line if thinking I think it us safe to reject it in both cases.

No one is trying to make her politically viable.

Im of the mind you need to study more history if that’s your belief. Please make sure they are reputable academic historians as opposed to people with an axe to grind.

They do if they don’t expect it to land safely.

Sometimes people can only find jobs where there is work to be done. This is true for all systems.
