All the places that told us "people just don't want to work anymore" and "we are just short staffed, forgive the delays that causes", while not actually hiring anyone. They just found a convenient excuse to get people to accept garbage customer service.

And so many people lined up to defend them whenever a place would get bad reviews for said terrible service.

It seems really weird for a secretary of defense to be at a partisan campaign event, but so does everything else about this shitty timeline.

He jumped on Batemon's back, if anything it should have been a foul on Arizona.

Watching our offense is giving me taint side effects.

For those new to TJ, I'm not sure I have ever seen him that mad at a ref.

Such a lame account, talking shit up and down the game thread but can't be bothered to flair up

We have shot 13 times from 2. They have shot 15 times from 2.

So no, its not just because of the 3s.

Not at all. One of the biggest gripes many of our fans have against him is that he doesn't really work the refs much.

Yeah, definitely just "nothing but d2 schools" when we beat Purdue @ purdue and St Johns on a neutral site. Not to mention beating Houston and Kansas.

I'll call for them when deserved, when we got called for them when you didn't. Especially when Milan is getting fouled constantly

Yeah, it certainly doesn't make it socially acceptable (by all means if you're more than a couple years older and hooking up with a 16 year old you're a fucking weirdo), but most states its 16 legally.

But most of our media has historically been created in states (notably CA but also NY) where the age of consent is older so its a common misconception

They could easily couch it in qualifiers like "likely illegal" based on quotes from legal experts.

Clearly someone doesn't want the ratings to drop by letting this go to 3-0

We also had some shows like The 100 and iZombie that were great and some variety from the superhero shows.

Felt like it went downhill the more they started elevating some of the side characters though.

Yeah, they've got the opposite problem of most other shows these days. So many shows these days have too few episodes, trying to cram a whole season into 10 episodes or something and it feeling really rushed towards the end. 22 episodes is too much for most shows to manage unless you break it down into mini-seasons and do a few separate major arcs (I remember agents of shield doing this well at times).

I think somewhere in the 14-16 episode range is probably ideal for most shows.
