Digital phone books sure are scary!

That is awesome, since it has a thorough review process to ensure it only applies to couples who are in the same end of life situation and let's them go out together.

A lot of the things like volcano turtle are based on existing mythology or urban legends, they aren't even unique to Pokemon.

Yeah, it seemed cliche to me. Maybe it surprised some people because it wasn't a thing in Disney movies?

Moms for Liberty flourished when they came out in numbers while reasonable people were being cautious about covid.

Most likely that the people who watched since Rotten Tomatoes was a thing knew what they were getting into or had fond memories from when they were younger.

Would have been different for exit audiences for sure.

It’s funny people talking about how things are done in the U.S. and giving different answers.

Yeah, different states have different requirements and processes.

In Kansas, when I got my original license in the 90s it cost like $60 total to get the first one and ever since it has been somewhere between 10-30 or so to renew every 6ish years or something. Originally you had to take a written test that you could fill in at home. Just ridiculously cheap and no real barriers. We also don't have any kind of emissions requirements for non-commercial vehicles. The lax requirements for driving and emissions is probably the result of the farming lobby.

67% audience rating though.

I would say it is number of episodes more than just years, as a show with 20+ episodes per year will run out of the same number of ideas twice as fast as 10 per year, and the latter has more time available to think up and refine ideas.

I would say long running shows should be the exception to the rule, and all those shows that drug themselves out for whatever the syndication minimum was are the best examples moat things having a limited lifespan. Plus the number of years tends to lead to staff turnover and the people writing season 7 are most likely not the same as the ones who made the show successful in the first place.

Everything can possibly be construed as X.

They aren’t going to make this easy cause it quite literally means giving the shareholders less profit, which is illegal in the US.

Making less profit than previous periods of time or even operating at a loss is not illegal in the US. Many companies have periods where they lose money or sacrifice short term profits for long term growth.

Investors with enough control might boot the leadership out, but they can also do that for whatever reason including unrealistic expectations.

The whole Lovecraft universe is sort of a hog podge of other's authors work as well who sort of expanded and formalized parts of it.

It is a shame that the other authors are overlooked because it was an awesome collaboration.
