It’s a way to avoid a perjury trap. Because if you don’t recall and say “no I have never met them”, some photo of you standing next each other in a buffet line can produce a perjury charge.

You have a lot of unattractive people too. The system needs everybody.

If anything, the attractive are in over supply and good nondescript character actors are in demand.

It’s an easy game not to play.

The pool of talent wanting to be in film is incredibly large - when Iived there it felt like half of LA was trying to make it in the entertainment business. Even the LA Police have casting leave written into their contracts in case they pick up a part.

So yes, the system is exploitative. But every person there is willingly playing that game using the cards they have available to them. Most of them lose.

GenX Canada. Better by every measure. I don’t have children so it has helped with financial stability to an amazing degree.

I can’t imagine the zoning bullshit that would have happened in that scenario. You can’t put a golf course anywhere on any patch of ground. That’s why there are course architects.

Not a big deal. They move the holes every week to keep the wear on the green even. There is a hand tool that cuts the hole and you drop the plug in the old one. The cup is just a plastic sleeve. It takes less than 10 minutes a hole.

Is this someone who doesn’t understand what happens on a golf course?

1965 clocking in. I want slippers and some soup.

Somebody saw the jackass movie.

The ol’ rank and yank.

I am sad to report that this is already a word. My condolences.

Your impression of those decades is influenced by styling and design.

Photos of actual people on the street show a lost less variation between the 1950s, 60s, and 70s than you might imagine. But when stylists want to cue the era they dial up tropes that are instantly recognizable. Bobby sox and poodle skirts are instantly recognizable as 1950s style, but it probably applied to only a small geographical area in a few urban areas. Similarly the greaser stereotype was not widespread. But now you’d believe that half of high schools were wearing white t-shirts and leather jackets.

I lived through the punk scene. Half the people at the shows I went to look like they were part of a varsity basketball team. We had one friend who had spiked hair and people would cross the street to avoid him. The styling now would have you believe that most young people were decked out in eyeliner and bondage pants.

Chic or Patrician if you want to be fancy about it.

Government. I don’t understand how they are still using the hellsites and that social app.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I didn’t say it was a good reason.

It’s American.

This is “the Cigarette Smoking Man” from the X-Files just in case anyone is missing the reference.

Confirmed. My wife does not consume my “cooking”. She will let me grill though…sometimes.

We didn’t see asses on TV. We still don’t see them on broadcast. It’s more common on cable.

The cost to reach them to diagnose and replace outweighs the decreased maintenance. Digging is really expensive.
