This 100%.
Every time I complain about something similarly ridiculous, my husband says "it's a movie" or "it's a tv show." And yeah, they don't bother themselves too much with reality, as long as they can keep people watching.

The thing that really bothers me the most about this.. is like TWO episodes later they do an entire jump of a year.
Like shit guys if you're gonna do a year time leap just fucking wait an episode and keep her injured and the time jump would make way more sense and be way more motivated. Like we get excited our hero is finally recovered and back on her feet and gets her nerve back to go back into action, it would have played better that way IMO.
The other thing is like... they made that woman cop such a powerful character, really smart and sharp, and brave and good with a gun too, she is the whole fucking package right, even takes down the deaf dude in a gunfight... and then... she marries mr. magoo. ugh. i know this is just a personal thing, but that dude was too scared to arrest billy bob, understandable, i get it, but then he is so scared that he just wildly shoots his gun and hits the woman too, fuck that guy, why does this hero woman marry the fucking goofball coward that was so scared he shit his pants and shot her. I would not want that guy around me. thanks but no thanks. definitely wouldn't marry him.

Loved the spoiler, lol.
America is so fucking stupid sometimes
This dude is such a hard worker with a non-stop positive attitude, he went from washing the dishes to being a manager because of the respect he earned from his bosses. Tried to start a family, wife had a miscarriage, now they have $13,500 in debt and he's working two jobs 80 hours a week like a slave.
Have you heard of neocolonism?
It's like, we used to colonize places and take all their resouces, but now we just set up a corporation there and take all their resouces instead, like how all the people farming chocolate get paid pennies and can't even afford to buy chocolate, that's an example of neocolonism.
I'd say shit like this, just saddling people with insane amounts of debt for essential services, and then forcing them to work 80 hours a week, this is neoslavery. I asked chatgpt just now to define neoslavery, and yeah it rings true, forced labor, debt bondage...
"Neoslavery refers to the modern-day practices that resemble slavery, such as human trafficking, forced labor, debt bondage, and child labor, in which individuals are exploited and forced to work against their will."

Will it get some wind for the sailboat
And it could get for it is
It could get the railroad for these workers
And it could be where it is
It could franky, it could be franky
It could be very fresh and clean
It could be a balloon
All these are the days my friends
And these are the days my friends
It could get some wind for the sailboat
And it could get for it is
It could get the railroad for these workers
It could get for it is were
It could be a ballon
It could be franky
It could be very fresh and clean
All these are the days my friends
And these are the days my friends
It could be those ways
Will it get some wind for the sailboat
It could get for it is it
It could get the railroad for these workers
And it could get for it is
So these are the days my friends
And these are the days my friends
But these days of 888 cents and 106 coins of change
These are the days my friends
And these are my days my friends
Make a toyota on these, these
gibberish. But feels like it is more then that.... I find that very intresting

I'm going down a really deep rabbit hole here... shit...
This is from 1981 - BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN - and this guy Tomas Sowell is saying the gender pay gap is a fabrication by twisting the statistics
What is most shocking is that people used to calmy and rationally discuss issues on television. What a culture shock!
(Timestamped) this REALLY shows how slippery statistics can be
Over 40 years later and this conversation is still going on and we've all heard so many lies by now that the truth seems like a fantasy, some mirage that we can never actually reach.
There was a lot of interesting things in this conversation, i don't necessarily agree with 100% of what he said, but it's interesting that we don't have any conversations like this on television anymore. It used to be so different.

It was a genuine error in judgement I made when deciding to watch even part of that video. I'd estimate a 5% drop in sanity for every minute viewed.
Yup. The world needs at least one Philip Glass. I'm happy that he exists
and I've always been moved by his soundtrack for the film of Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of TIme.

One of my favorite clips of Bill Buckley being calm and rational, where he calls Gore Vidal a "queer" who should go back to his pornography:
At least he used Bach's Brandenburg 2 as his theme song
But I do get what you mean. The conservative movement in America was foremost, originally, an intellectual movement, and I think Buckley at least had the integrity to understand that many of the battles he found himself ideologically obligated to fight for (like civil rights issues such as "states rights") were ones that he needed to lose.

In that video above the guy has to keep repeating himself
"The acoustics must be really bad in here"
Lol. Such a classy burn.
I'm doing research for a character BTW if it seems like I'm going down a weird rabbit hole, I definitely am lol.
This video was pretty interesting too, has nothing to do with trump, they call him an uncle tom at one point.
And then he's like have you even read the book?
Uncle Tom is a hero that sacrifices his life to save the runaway slaves.
I did a serious double take lol like whaaaat.
I clearly have not read the book and I am just taking this guy at his word, what a bizarre thing
It was also very interesting that this guy keeps insisting that racism is not enough to stop black people from being successful.
He has a good message, that you can perservere and overcome obstacles and you don't have to make yourself a victim.
And the peoples he's talking to? So insistent that he's wrong and that they can't be successful - bc racism. Sad.
They're literally talking to a young black guy with 150 employees telling them about all the black millionaires in america and all these kids want to do is focus on what victims they are and how they can't be successful. Not a single one of them ever stops for a second to ask this guy how he was successful and how they can be successful too, nobody ever asks him for any advice, they just want to compete in the victim olympics and see who has been oppressed the most.
It's such a shame because the first step to doing anything in life is believing you can do it, believing in yourself enough that you actually attempt something. That's what he's trying to tell them, you're good enough and you can do it!! and they just want to argue

That number seemed huge so i had to google
"approximately 972 tons" of cocaine are produced each yea
That is higher than i would have guessed.
still, the logicistics of transporting and creating 3.5 tons of product, any product, is astounding off the grid.

Well, when you consider that James Woods has to take almost 1 ton of cocaine a day just to feel normal, it's not that much.

So that's about $1000 dollars a day, every day, for 20 years?
Let's call it 16 for a conservative estimate, street prices were 200 for smaller amounts, and celebrities had too much to loose to stockpile big amounts and risk prison, so let's do the math
365x200x5x16=
$5,840,000
Now you know what people from the 80's mean when you ask them for a raise and they say "There's none left, we spent it on important business stuff"

He signed up for an "incision free" vascetomy, and when he showed up for it they fucking grabbed his sack with two hands and kept pulling until it ripped open like a bag of chips. What in gods name!!! JUST USE A SCALPEL.
