Here is a list of the top 5 most litigious countries by capita: 1. Germany: 123.2/1,000 2. Sweden: 111.2/1,000 3. Israel: 96.8/1,000 4. Austria: 95.9/1,000 5. U.S.: 74.5/1,000. The Top 10 also includes the UK (64.4); Denmark (62.5); Hungary (52.4); Portugal (40.7); and France (40.3).
As you can see, the risk of lawsuits in the U.S. is less than in Germany, Sweden, Israel, and Austria, and not much greater than the other countries listed in the top 10. Simply stated, Americans are not as litigious as many believe. While the large verdict against McDonalds for serving hot coffee received enormous publicity, that judgment was significantly reduced on appeal and the plaintiff spent the left of her life being ridiculed.
starwars was good. empire was the best of the first three, but lucas didnt direct or even write the screenplay for it. he didnt direct jedi either, and only wrote half of the screenplay, which I believe was mostly ewoks (maybe not entirely).
the prequels would have bombed at the first one if they were made in isolation imo. alas, this really isnt important to think about. the asd angle makes more sense than anything else I had thought of
yep. the only person here who isn’t in personal-trainer levels of physical shape is jack black. I’ve just been re-watching the bear and apparently they skip the scenes where carmi is spending 3 hours a day in the gym
They’re talking about native English speakers. Did you really not get that? There are also a lot of Chinese people, try yelling that out of context, also.
You see, if you stay up until 3-4am you get to take part in this secret extra “day” without demands or interruptions that no one else knows about; which everyone just sleeps through 'cause they’re dumb and myopic.
The rumors that the alarm will go off at the regular time and there are negative consequences of sleeping for less than 4 hours are entirely unfounded and, frankly, hurtful
