It's not an example. It's a precept. A principle. Going dutch. Doesn't mean an even split. It means you pay for you.

It's about the principle of it. If the bill was huge, and one person had a lobster and a $10000 wine, and the other had a soup and a salad and expected a /2, that wouldn't be fair.

Fuck that shit.

Actually you don't split the bill, you pay for what you had. Clearly the person who had the Persian Pancakes needs to pay GBP 1.50 more. 12.30 + 3.13/2 or 13.80 + 3.13/2 is a fair split.

Like a lemonade stand or an square inch of land?
It's a $100.
You divide it into $20 chunks and invest in low risk low reward ETFs to high risk high reward stocks. It'll take about a month to 3 months for it to get to $1000 if you're lucky. Invest in fuel, tobacco, computers, gun manufacturers etc.

I know he did. But he can't carry poor writing. And it was getting pretty shit near the end of the second season. Especially the episodes with Luke and Ashoka were absolute shite.

Yes I know. He's one of my favorite comedians. I listen to the MMP EVERY week. My point is that just guest stars in a TV show is a sign of the ratings flagging.

It's dying with DNR tattooed on its chest. They need new minds at the helm and not people thinking about the bottom line. If Lucas had been thinking of the bottom line in 1977 the franchise wouldn't exist. They need young, creative, experienced, hungry writers who write stories for the love of the game, not because they want to make money.
Also, woke culture is ruining the movie industry. Cast women, minorities, yes, but make it believable. Diego Luna is Mexican, has an accent. Killed it. Find the right actors for the right roles. Pedro Pascal, Spanish, killed it.
Find experienced actors like Adam Driver who see the job as a role, not just as a way to represent their race. John Boyega can't act for shit. The chemistry between him and whoever played Rey was so bad, it was a chemistry sink, killing other characters chemistry with each other.
Who the fuck was that orange Yoda looking force sensitive running that bar? No explanation. Don't introduce character and then not develop their stories in lieu of big explosions and pew pew crap.

They're breaking their backs trying to carry the series, but the problem is, we know how their stories end. Maybe not Mando, but every time things get into a lull, they'll try to recreate Luke's entrance or cast Bill Burr and ruin it.

Why would he do that? That's my expression too when I read this post.

You're better than all of us. You'll sleep better with that knowledge, I'm sure.
