When I was in high school, the girls’ running team made shirts that said, “Fast girls have good times.” It’s been more than twenty years, and I still think about how funny that double-entendre is.
That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem...

As the Ontario Medical Association continues to sound the alarm over a family doctor shortage, one doctor said a move toward American-style health care is 'happening already.'
This. Everyone I talk to says, “but socialized medicine has such long wait times.” But these same fuckers avoid going to the doctor until it’s absolutely unbearable to deal with because it costs to much to find out if it’ll get better on its own. So if you’re getting symptoms of something and waiting two months anyway, how is your system better?
You’re close to the truth at the end there. They spent $90 million on it, found out it was an absolute dog when they started test evenings, and decided to scrap it rather than pay another $50 million+ on promotion and other post-production expenses.

It still sucks for the actual creators and the fans, but it’s not like doing this actually makes the studios richer. It’s just about not falling into the sunk-cost fallacy.
“Stick it on Max” still costs money? Royalties, hosting, closed captioning and translation, GUI requirements all are going to keep chipping dollars out of a product that they did not believe would make them money.
And, as you say, DC movies have really underwhelmed. Did anyone reasonably think that the (apparently) worst one was going to draw in new subscribers?

Wait, so you’re hoping that the American government is covertly manipulating the roughly 1 in 3 Americans who watch the Superbowl expressly to retain the incumbents power because it means we’d avoid a fascist autocracy?
Japan has Golden Week. China usually shuts down entirely for their New Years. Several European countries have multi-week holiday periods in the summer. It’s definitely a thing outside America.
I’m having a tough time imagining a scenario where you’re in too much of a hurry to spend 30 seconds returning the cart, but not too much of a hurry to buy your merchandise and load it in your vehicle.
