As a spaniard I would like to deny the allegations that we eat the portuguese on Christmas

@BabatundeM71847 @EducatedMoron Sure. As long as you stick to football.

@Makena_Jr @EducatedMoron lol. Bold statement from you

Solid list. All 8 are really good. But Leo is the number 1 in this list. Who's who of the industry wants to work with him, often on repeat if they can get his dates - Scorsese, Nolan, Spielberg, PTA, Innaritu, Cameron, Tarantino, he has worked with all. Bale is very close, he goes lengths to play the characters but in the end he often looks like he is acting while Leo's gets into characters so seamlessly that it doesn't even feel like acting. Cruise was on that level till 90s and over the last 20 years he chose to be a star over an actor and he is the biggest star among them. Pitt is also at that level, he too has the commercial pull and he is blue-eyed boy of folks like Fincher and Tarantino. Cillian spent way too much time on TV and had nothing to show for a decade except Nolan films. RDJ became Tony Stark and just when it seemed he is now getting serious, he is again going for the bag. He is stuck there for 20 years now, but got super rich in the process. McConaughey had a 5-year crazy peak in early 2010s, aced it everywhere and then again faded. Finally Jackman, probably weakest of the eight but he has something which other 7 doesn't, he can sing and hence has few musicals under his belt unlike others in this list.

@fortyscent @EducatedMoron Even is small supporting roles, he shines. The Dark Knight trilogy, Dunkirk, Inception... And these are just the movies with Nolan. His movie choices may be questionable, but he's a great actor. Has always been.

@EducatedMoron Cillian is massively overated. His best movie was 28 days later.

@BabatundeM71847 @EducatedMoron Stick to football, please.

@EducatedMoron I think Henry Cavil and Chris Hemsworth are worthy mention by the way

@lovedropx Terrible advice. You're much better off asking for what you want. Express yourself clearly. Communicate. You can hardly go wrong with this. And your relationship will not be strained as a result of unmet expectations.

holding myself back from being ragebaited rn but it seems actively harmful to promote this idea it sounds romantic in theory but frames communication as a failure of love instead of its foundation

You are a horrible person. Abdulakeem chose you as vendor. You ignored this gesture and thanked the superstar instead. You got paid to sell jerseys. You then decided again to withhold some of the items paid for from the actual customer, Abdulakeem. Shitty rotten person.

@pokerstarpotts1 @MiguelDelaney Ermmm, You can just watch the Euros 🤷🏾‍♀️ Expand it to 40 countries if you want to. No one cares. But the World Cup is more than just a meeting of the highest ranked FIFA teams. Stick to the Euros or stop whining.

@MiguelDelaney No other sport has regional qualification.all the best teams in the world apart from brazil and Argentina are in Europe. If there was no regional qualification it would just be European teams about 4 south American 2 African sides and Japan. It's not fair on europe.

European countries believe that 16 places out of 48 for the World Cup is nowhere near enough There is also disquiet over home advantage in these play-offs, that may see neutral venues raised in future independent.co.uk/sport/football…

@firsttrybdawg @DrJoeAbah @Oluwanonso_Esq My God. You bear some liability regardless. Where did you go to law school & who taught you how to argue a point? Btw, I do render services & always have some risk of incurring a liability, which is how I know to cap it. Only a fraud will refuse all risks for their own services

@Makena_Jr @DrJoeAbah @Oluwanonso_Esq Go and render your services that puts you at risk and cap the liability. Let’s see how your own wordings sound in that regard.

Lawyers cannot insulate themselves from scrutiny: whether on the quality of their work or the value they place on it. The ongoing debate on pricing for legal/notarial services is both necessary and legitimate. Nigerians are asking valid questions about how professional fees are determined. Lawyers who are confident in their practice should be able to justify their fee structures transparently and objectively. So far, I have not seen a persuasive justification for charging 10% of the value of a property merely for witnessing documentation. Most arguments in support of this practice appear largely dogmatic, relying only on a false discretion that a lawyer has to set his professional fee. By contrast, the arguments against this 10% charge - particularly those articulated by @DrJoeAbah - are far more reasoned and substantive. Anyone who argues in support of a lawyer's discretion to fix his professional fee should provide additional reasoning on how 10% of the value of a property constitutes a fair amount to charge for witnessing the documentation of a property. We must be honest and hold ourselves to the highest standards. Going to the Law School is not a license to engage in legalized fraud.

@firsttrybdawg @DrJoeAbah @Oluwanonso_Esq Did you even read what I wrote? You posed a problem - risk. You claimed that lawyers bore some risk for contracts. I posed a solution - cap the lawyer's liability. How is that cruel or born out of spite?

@Makena_Jr @DrJoeAbah @Oluwanonso_Esq Thankfully your opinion is not the case as far as we are concerned. Look at the cruelty you are spewing just because of remuneration that is backed by law. For the second paragraph, what made you think they are routine tasks? And what makes you think they are always static?

man do I have a movie in theaters now for you

@firsttrybdawg @DrJoeAbah @Oluwanonso_Esq The lawyer's potential liability could be capped to twice the value of the settlement received by the lawyer for the service. That takes care of risk. Now, back to Doc's point. How can you justify a percentage based pricing mechanism for routine tasks?

@DrJoeAbah @Oluwanonso_Esq Cont. the higher risk of more losses to be incurred if the lawyer does not represent the client in that regard to a reasonable standard.

@Thetoluu @KhloeUmoh Yes.

For our relationships to prosper, we must deliberately and consistently assume benevolent intent in actions, and ignorance — rather than malice — in omissions.

Today was one of the most horrifying days of my life as an academic. Walking through Iran University of Science and Technology, a top-ranked public university in Iran, I was struck by the devastation. Only last month, this campus was alive with students, bustling between classrooms. Now, parts of the campus lie in ruins, classrooms shattered, hallways choked with dust and shattered glass. I saw the offices of professors burned. A newly renovated building, where students gathered for programs, for socializing, for life, destructed. One student, tearfully, told me: “My professor’s office was still burning a little. That’s where I used to wait for office hours. To ask questions. To appeal my grade.” This is the same university that launched Iran’s Omid and Zafar 2 satellites, symbols of homegrown technological achievement. A week ago, one of its professors was assassinated. Yesterday, they bombed it. From sanctions to targeted killings, to the bombing of research centers and universities, there’s a clear pattern: de-development & de-industrialisation/ the systematic dismantling of a nation’s indigenous development, its industrial base, its capacity to stand on its own. We will never forget that as the American and Zionist war criminals blatantly target universities, schools, hospitals/ assassinating professors and killing children, and after 2 years or genocice, western intellectuals are still debating whether or not to pass a symbolic, non-enforceable BDS resolution. Photos taken by me, full report incoming.

Endless propaganda has convinced Americans that bombs dropping in the Middle East is "normal." As if those families don't have jobs, school, hopes & dreams. As if every life lost isn't someone's entire universe.

Hating on something but having to defend it because the haters are hating on it WRONG
