The first few episodes (first entire season maybe) of Office US is worse, but as an entire series there’s little argument that the U.S. version was more engaging, created more diverse and memorable characters, and had much better storylines. Most of this is purely because it ran longer, but it’s really a very different type of show.

    This whole thing is even more ridiculous. This backlash isn’t happening because he was silent on the genocide, he’s been silent on it for years. It’s happening because he as the headliner allowed his tour mates to be excluded due to their speech. At no point did he need to denounce the genocide, he just had to speak up internally and say “well that’s Macklemore's opinion on it and I’m not going to stifle a fellow artist's speech like that”.

    Also, merchants need your name and address to ship the product to you...

    Well all they would really need is a one time code that you provide them that you’ve pre registered your address with the shipping carrier.

    Would 100% prefer a shipping carrier who supported “oh address is 17bkHdb74nKl? Send it to 123 main st, city, state, etc”

    100% agreed on the first part though. Perhaps if the shipping carriers all worked together (ha!) on a common system like this they could do it.
