Reply to [Super Curious] 🫠Why is British TV series short like every season holds up for 6 episodes max? by aparnasesha
When British writers run out of ideas, they stop writing.
When U.S. writers run out of ideas, you wind up with an endless combination of Jim and Pam, Pam and Roy, Jim and Karen. Angela and Dwight. Angela and the Senator. Oscar and the Senator, Angela and Andy, Erin and Andy, Erin and Gabe, Ryan and Kelly, Darryl and Kelly, Michael and Jan, Michael and Holly, Michael and Pam’s mom…
Americans sure do love their romcoms.

Do you know where I can find out more about her story? When I saw Fame in the 1980’s, I was convinced that Irene Cara was so beautiful, talented and charismatic that she was on a rocket to the top. Never heard much from her since.

The only situation comedy I’ve ever seen where good outsmarted evil every week.

If this guy were as quick to protect those children during the shootings as he was to deflect the blame afterward, those kids would all be alive today.

Reply to LPT: When a News company posts an op-ed, it's wise to approach the article with the same level of skepticism as you would a tabloid or a rando social media rant. by inconsistent_test
Do you mean a news company or a News company?
Most news companies give their Op-Eds a fact checking that no social media outlet provides.

Reply to TIL that one of the top convenience stores in Japan was founded in Ohio, and that there are now only 2 locations open in the United States by 0wnzl1f3
I grew up in Ohio and still miss Lawson’s.
Here’s a memorable commercial from the 1970’s that makes their orange juice truckers seem like heroic first responders:
P.S. Oops, I just noticed that the commercial is linked in the article. Oh well, I’m keeping it here anyway. It’s the first thing old Ohioans think of when they hear “Lawson’s.”
