We don't know how long he's been there—could have been months

Sorry I just said that because you said you couldn't get through the first episode—I don't think I'd have thought it was any good if that was all I saw either. The standard American sitcom rule I follow is 4-6 episodes before I can really tell if it's actually gonna work, until that point the characters usually come across as 1 dimensional even if it ends up being good.

But fair play regardless, everyone likes different stuff!

That's funny that's exactly the main demographic still getting COVID vaccines on the regular in the UK, you know, because they have weaker immune systems

Edit: I misread that they were limiting it for them and not to them. Which on reflection probably should have made me read again....

Everyone should be able to get one if they want

Surprising you're on the internet and haven't heard of always sunny given it's about to start its 17th season, but I guess it might just not be your kind of thing after all

Agree about whatever the hell else is making up that list though

You kinda have to give any American sitcom at least half a season before you can really judge it. They pretty much all start out rubbish and it's only when the actors grow into the roles can you tell if it's actually gonna be good.

FWIW Brooklyn 99 was very much an ensemble comedy by the time it got going rather than primarily focusing on Samberg, even though he was still ostensibly the lead role.

MBFC gives The Guardian and Breitbart equivalent ratings for factuality, which is patently ridiculous

It's not a reliable gauge of anything, and it's harmful to trust its rankings

I think you possibly intended to reply to a different comment

My comment was talking about heavily taxing 2nd properties (and implicitly any more after that)

Is anyone surprised

I'm assuming that phone call was basically the same energy as Adam & Joe asking Dermott O'Leary to get shit from a service station

Except with zero concession

Of course it's not unreasonable, but if you want that luxury, you should pay from taking that supply from someone who needs it

There was a clue today that was basically your answer to my comment

Why should someone be allowed a 2nd home without penalty in a country with housing scarcity?

I'd say at least a 50% value tax on that as unnecessary consumption

Legit this is a fantastic idea

Can I hazard the guess that you play the NYT mini crossword?

Otherwise that's a funny coincidence

That loo ain't right

Edit: wait, What's a more Texas appropriate slang for toilet

But what if no empty house?!

😫😫😫

Don't worry, we're not going to forget

I'm assuming you partially know the answer to that given nylon is a random thing to pull out if you didn't

But it's a specifically engineered polymer of nylon..... And steel.

I don't disagree

Objects are more than their shape

If you made a Glock out of frozen custard, would you expect it to perform the same as the real deal?

Had they adopted the metric system

Or at least had an education system capable of teaching basic maths
