Hank Moody and the internet slang.

[@JacquesLeCoq26]

It was relevant then and it’s certainly relevant now. I miss Hank Moody.

[@Zodiac581]

For every year that goes by, this gets more accurate. Crazy. Californication ranks among my top all-time shows right beside The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and Dexter. It's consistently underrated.

[@trevjaywill387]

@@mkultra2456 haha they actually do resemble them. Being cynical and condescending about where society is and then acknowledging some sort of participation in said system is totally something that Maher would do. Just because you're a fanboy of the show and think the writing is so amazing doesn't mean there aren't similarities. Probably the biggest tip for me in why they're similar is because I find both of them corny, but still entertaining. If you can't acknowledge that there would be any similarities then I think you're just being close minded, especially the way that you respond with the italics haha. My hunch is that you like Hank Moody so much because you probably think you are (or at least want to be) like him. So me comparing him to Bill Maher probably is hurting your identity complex because it doesn't fit your narrative. Just my $.02 haha.

Not capitalizing in a certain situation is not considered a grammar error, but most likely a spelling one, in which case yes, I sometimes don't type the "I" because I'm not used to it.
