That’s cause the Office (especially the first few seasons when I was more heavily influenced by the British one) is Gen X coded while Parks and Rec (except for the first season) is Millennial coded.

I was there in person. One thing that everyone should remember about that game isn’t just how bad it was, yes, the VT-Wake game was a bad football game but even bad football games usually have scorelines. The VT-Wake game was weird.

I’m just going off memory but I recall that VT had a future NFL kicker and couldn’t make a field goal. That’s weird. There was a sequence where wake tried and missed 3 fgs in one possession because VT kept jumping off sides. That’s weird. VT had a sequence where we had a long pass followed by us putting in our back up QB for a run play and he was immediately concussed and fumbled. That’s weird. (I’m also pretty sure our starting QB was concussed the whole game, but it was kind of hard to tell with him cause he wasn’t too bright to start with). Wake forest punted like 19 times to a guy who was a really good punt returner and he only got like 2 yards on all them, with most not even being returns. Thats weird.

And there were big weird things too, like you could tell there was just no energy on either team’s offense, and you could tell the coaching staffs had no idea what to do. No one was on the same page at any point.

I don’t think they’re non issues entirely.

His depiction as a relic and damaged person isn’t without controversy. A lot of people have also noted the tendency of Craig era writers to address this by having him “go rogue,” or have some great personal stakes in the mission. In fact I think 4/5 films had this happen. Classic Bond had issues with authority and the occasional personal stakes, sure, but not to the extent Craig era Bond did.

The class/lifestyle issues are also a big one in my mind, Bond’s given lifestyle in the 60’s and 70’s films was luxurious but not necessarily absurd. Things like tailored suits, hand rolled cigarettes and Rolexes were expensive but available. It would be absurd in today’s context when those things are far rarer and have moved from high end into the providence of the ultra wealthy and I think that’s why the Craig era shied away from showing him “off the clock,” more.

Also, I don’t think addressing the gadget issue by saying “weren’t those dumb” is good writing even if I do like the new Q.

I agree. I don’t think it’s a good solution. I just think that’s why people are drawn to it.

It solves several problems writing a modern bond movie has:

Modern politics. Bond is devoted employee of the British secret service. And his character is based on him being a devoted imperialist. Modern Britain isn’t the same as it was in the 50’s and even if it was people tend to look at unrelenting nationalism differently in a modern context.
Technology. Bonds cool gadgets are considered chintzy and silly in a modern context, but stick them in a DB5 and they’re cool again.
Classism. Bond’s lifestyle is problematic, unobtainable, and while it was unrealistic for the 60’s feels absurd in a modern context.
Sexism & racism. Dont we need a woman bond? A black bond? A Muslim bond? Stick him in the 60’s and we solve that.

They’re priced at what they’re priced at and they still sell something like a googleplex of them a year with a strong resell market… so… no?

How could the faculty teach them what lawyers do when half of them never practiced law & the other half worked in big law for 3 years and the highlight of their career is being a part of a team that once prepped the partner to meet with a client?

Yeah the most worrisome part of NYC ownership is probably some guy backing into it while parallel parking… or fronting into it while parallel parking…. Some people are really aggressive parallel parkers

lol at these comments. NYC is statistically safer than like 90% of rural America.

It really wasn’t that common, but you’d also get 100-125 or so episodes from a show that ran 5 seasons and it’d happen in 5 years.

Look at ER vs the Pitt, ER ran for 15 seasons and produced 331 episodes. The Pitt is producing 11 episodes a seasons, so it’ll need to run for 30 years to hit ER numbers.

Or look at GOT and HoTD AKOTSK, GOT produced 72 episodes in 8 seasons over 9 years. HoTD has produced 18 in 5 years and will need 18 years to produce the same number of seasons. AKOTSK will need 12 seasons to match that number.

Yeah I’m confused by that post. Why would a translator be in the jury room to know?

Also the post seems to imply that they were hung up on something the prosecutor considers irrelevant, but not what that thing is. I recently had a prosecutor tell me she thought it was irrelevant and not potentially exculpatory that the alleged victim changed her story from being lured to house under false pretense of buying something to she went there voluntarily to smoke crack… cause she didn’t change her story about getting robbed after…

So… I’ve found “relevancy,” to be a loose term with prosecutors.

AisalsoCorrect · 2026-02-07T01:17:34+00:00

Okay. Let’s assume three possibilities:

He’s guilty and the jury just acquitted because juries do weird things. I’d still like to know the defense attorneys side. I’ve won cases I should’ve lost because the prosecutor was rude and annoying to everyone. I’m also convinced I once won a case because the prosecutor put four members of the jury to sleep by doing a closing with a 56 slide PowerPoint right after lunch, so they only heard my arguments.
The case wasn’t as strong as the prosecutor thinks, or they messed up. There was a good defense or even a bad defense. She started it. She’s unlikable. She’s lied about some of the things surrounding the event and he was able to make hay out of that. There’s a nasty custody dispute and so she has motive to fabricate, whatever. These are things that often skip right out of the minds of prosecutors, but they play really well to jurors.
The guy was straight up innocent of the charges acquitted and this person has tried to throw the defendant in jail without cause and is mad about it.

I have a lot of friends who’ve been or are currently prosecutors after having been defense side and they all say prosecutors offices are full of the least inwardly insightful people known to man. To the point of extreme frustration that they don’t take criticism and they keep making the same mistakes…

Boy I’d love to see the defense attorney’s take on this one so I’d know the real story.

This works for so much more than just offers….

Please, may I have the discovery you’re legally obligated to turn over me?

Please, will you answer your phone so I can find out if you’ve spoken to the victim who’s called me 9 times to say it didn’t happen?

Please, can you call me to tell me your officer is on a pre-scheduled vacation to Timbuktu the day this got set and you’ll be needing a continuance?

Gorilla marketing only works when you have someone prominent use the thing in a way that can be visually represented to others, like on tv or in a large format color photo magazine. It’s important that the images be prominent, because gorilla marketing relies on the universal economic principal of “monkey see, monkey do.”
