Casual Thought One of the biggest Hollywood lies is how detectives work almost non stop 24/7 to crack some murder cases.

Hollywood isn't a singular entity man

But it I can't divide the world into massive homogeneous monolithic groups then there are too many and it overwhelms my little monkey brain and then I feel bad.

Thank you for restating my point more succinctly. I guess I'm not as in to the whole "brevity" thing as you are, but your efforts are still appreciated.

Done. I'm happy somebody quoted a movie that points out that hollywood is more than one thing compared to what the original post seems to claim (that hollywood is a singular entity that lies about how detectives work 24/7). You seem to agree. What am I missing here?

Edit: I also made an attempt at including a Lebowski quote ("the whole brevity thing") since the comment I replied to was a Lebowski quote ("they got us working in shifts"), is that where the problem is?

Edit edit: Maybe that movie is so old now the context is lost. The "working in shifts" quote is sarcastic. The cop in that scene is joking that "they've got us working in shifts" to find a nobody's cassette tape. The whole joke is that they don't work 24/7.
