He came in as the intern who Michael picked on, but there were a lot of hints that he was overqualified for the job and that he found Michael and Dunder-Mifflin to be a joke. The Business School episode is the first where he openly shits on DM in a way that really hurts Michael

Thoughts on Ryan going from awkward nervous temp, to smug "thinks he's better than everyone" junior salesman, to douchey 80s style drug addicted wall street type executive, to blonde bowling alley employee, to glasses wearing hipstery persona?

He was always awful in every form. My least favorite character on the show (and I also think he sucks in other shows/movies).

That said, he was one of the main writers for the show.

Michael Scott is the perfect example of the Peter Principle: every good worker will keep getting promoted until they reach a level they are no longer qualified for. He was clearly a really good salesman, but he's just too much of a narcissist/people-pleaser to be an effective manager

Post one funny Britta line right now. No google.

I really don't think it is. Community has some really lazy writing.

0 Continuity or character arcs. Every episode is a dumb self contained bubble with 0 attempt to make sense or form any emotional connections. On par with a childrens cartoon.

There's a reason it's not nearly as popular. It has some great jokes but the level of writing starts out mediocre and ends up poor when Troy and Pierce leave.


Counterpoint: The Big Bang Theory is one of the worst written shows in history. It's popularity is a mystery that we may not solve in our lifetimes

I mean every other show does it just fine. As noted by other posts here and everywhere else on the internet. The show is taking awhile to get going regardless.

like what are you even trying to argue. Just stfu

I was in the topic where he had his melty. It was glorious.

Immediately commits a moddable violation by talking about his previous moderation, then claims to "never call anyone names" while having called the mods "idiots" and left leaning posters "losers" in the literal opening post.

Then he resorted to "I know you are but what am I?" level retorts while sobbing into his keyboard.

Serious question: is it possible that he is a Tails alt? I've never seen anyone bitch about moderations more than those two, and I find it hard to believe that two people are actually so pathetic to cry about blatant TOS violations on a dying message board.

Musicians have always gotten the bulk of their money from concert tickets and merch, they weren't making much more with physical albums over streaming.

Not true. While a band maybe only made $1 from each $18 CD sold, that's exponentially more than the fractions of a penny they make from streams

They should provide a product worth paying for. Some video game studios, like Valve, understand that. The music industry has had to learn this lesson kicking and screaming, but artists mostly understand it now. Media which is easier to pirate and which the creators have less money to litigate have hardly stopped being created, stopped being good, or stopped being profitable.

Music itself isn't profitable at all with streaming services. Musicians have had to pivot towards higher ticket prices for concerts and $50 t-shirts
