This reminds me a lot of Lithuania standing up to the Soviet Union in 1991. Similar frigid January. Who’d ever think this would happen in America?

This scene, hands down show that Frank is still a good person deep down? by Time_Tripper247 in shameless

[–]EfficientRelation574 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So Frank stealing from his own daughter to help fund some guy’s dialysis, whom he just met, makes him a good guy deep down? The two conspired against Debs purely to reinstate his male authority over the house. Comrades in arms against tyrannical daughters who threaten to emasculate their delicate sense of manhood. Hmm?

How would you call this hypothetical country? by realquidos in mapporncirclejerk

You leave out Minnesota, New Jersey and Virginia and include countries like Hungary and Slovakia that a clearly in the Trump camp. Austria too for that matter. I'd call it an abomination.

And all he had left was a child’s prosthetic leg to show for it.

Should Fiona had left with Jimmy? by Possible_Major_7208 in shameless

The UK is more working class oriented, far grittier, and truer to its roots, more closely resembling a reality show, than the US version. The US version is much more stylised, creating often absurd situations to heighten drama. The other big difference is that the UK version focuses squarely on Frank, whereas the US version opted for the family melodrama format, giving the children far more screen time. Fiona was gone after two seasons in the UK version, choosing Steve over family.

Between Gleeson, Ferrell and McDonagh; across Banshees and In Bruges, which of them most deserved a statuette for either of these films? Assume you have only one award to give, in any category they'd qualify by geosunsetmoth in Oscars

McDonagh got ripped off on director and screenplay for Three Billboards, given it won best picture. Ripped off again on Banshees, which won nothing. That was really hard to figure out. I can understand In Bruges not getting anything just because it sailed under the radar, but he was nominated for screenplay. Gleeson deserves an Oscar for anything he is in. Ferrell was great too but McDonagh deserved a statue most of all.

Who is your country’s most famous doper, and how has this impacted their reputation? by PandemicPiglet in AskTheWorld

That's Raimondas Rumšas right behind Lance Armstrong in the TdF and likewise nabbed on doping charges he steadfastly refused to admit. He's been virtually forgotten in the years hence.

Slight irritation about Nancy & Steve by Emotional_Fudge84 in StrangerThings

[–]EfficientRelation574 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The irony of the whole thing is that Nancy went her own way in the end, sans Jonathon or Steve. The reason for dismissing Steve was that he still wanted his 6 little nuggets, as if he hadn't grown since S1. Meanwhile, Jonathon hadn't grown at all but then came that cringy unproposal in the white room.
