    I think this is a good thing because James Gunn can't write jokes, at least varying them up for everyone. The first Guardians of the Galaxy movie is the most overrated comic book movie ever.

    So wait, this James Gunn makes some jokes, and looses a job. Yet Meryl Streep gives a standing ovation to Roman Polanksi*, and she doesn't loose a job? Yeah, that's equality for you.

    *Not to mention her "outrage" over Weinstein, which i'm not buying.

    Clearly he's about to lose his career at this point.

    I'm fed up with the "gorgeous weather" we've had in the UK. Really had enough of the heatwave. Everywhere looks like a savanna.

    I've always been an autumn person but this year summer has been particularly unbearable.

    It is the same here. 30 degrees for a month straight, with almost no rain.

    Northern Germany isn't that much different. Hardly any rain since late April. Warmest April, May and I suppose June for ages. July hasn't quite cracked the temperature record of 2003, but already beats it in terms of sunny hours and lack of precipitation. The sprinkler is working daily in the vegetable garden. Other than that, it's a lovely summer for a change, quite the opposite to that of 2017.

    Not going to complain myself - I like a bit of warmer weather. It's worse for the farmers and others relying on some rain during the summer months. The Swedes are of course struggling with those nasty forest fires, as well.

    I just really hate this summer. I was never a big summer fan but I hate heatwaves. When it's so hot for so lunch it becomes unpleasant if not dangerous.

    There have been a lot of them here as well, but nothing big like over there. The Swedish police suspect at least fifteen of those fires are due to arsony.

    Hot dogs are not sandwiches.

    Seinfeld is overrated.

    Yes, hot lunches can be dangerous! Always make sure to let the food cool down before eating ;)

    Yeah, luckily there haven't been fires on the same scale as in Sweden. Fifteen fires suspected as arson? That's terrible!

    No wonder they suspect arson then. Can only hope they manage to put those fires out eventually. Will probably need the weather to change to do so.

    We've had our share of probable arson cases (forest underbrush fires) nearby, but fortunately the fire department arrived in time when it was only a few hundred square meters or so.

    'Chuck Norris facts' are constantly spouted off as if he is the best fighter of all time"

    No , they're just stupid jokes to be taken with huge pinches of salt and I dont think Norris consider himself the best ever , hes a humble man

    Bruce Lee also said that there were fighters in Hong Kong back then who were on his level , its not like Lee said he was unbeatable which is impossible to be anyway

    Thank you so much for that! I believe Chuck Norris is a nice person, but people have been overusing his name. Dwayne The Rock Johnson is super overexposed and overrated at the current moment. He's way to full of himself to be talking his personal feuds and fortunes to relate too.

    I'm not really in Scandinavia, but we Northern Germans are close by (100 miles to the Danish border) and feel kind of connected. I'd say everything above 77°F (25°C) would be considered "hot" (though still comfortable). Above 86 (30°C) would be very hot, and the two days of 100.4 degrees (38°C) we had three years ago were extraordinary and as high as it ever got here.

    Until a few years ago, and certainly when I went to school in the 60s and 70s (decades, not temperature), we had the institution of "hitzefrei": When the outside temperature reached 25°C (77°F) by 10 a.m., children were simply sent home because it was considered to be too hot for working.

    Nights when the temperature does not sink below 68°F (20°C) are officially designated "tropical nights" by the meteorologists, but that happens less than once a year.

    Nobody over here has air-conditioning in their home, by the way.

    Thanks @j_w_pepper

    For the record I wasn't trying to be rude or inconsiderate. I live in Florida and it's hot about 350 days of the year. We have the luxuries that most don't but I'm always interested in how other people deal with hot weather.

    I guess anything above 20°C would be considered as warm, and 25°C upwards very warm/hot. Around 30°C - as we've had lately, is unnaturally hot.

    I didn't find anything rude about your question, so don't worry. The only time I was in Florida was in February 1974 with my Illinois host family. I managed to go swimming both in the Atlantic and the Gulf, with the water of both being warmer than the Baltic or North Sea usually ever get. Still I was the only one on those endless beaches crazy enough to go in.

    Tor Erling Staff died , he was a very famous lawyer in Norway & was on TV debates a lot in the 90s , he was controversial when it came to pedophilia : he did not think it was nessesarily wrong and claim he was molested himself as a boy (you'd think pedos would make him angry then , huh ?) :/

    In fact even the Pocketman (serial pedo with 3-400 victims) , a guy who cut holes in his pockets so boys could fondle him , thought Staffs comments were too much :/

    Staff was also black metal Varg Vikernes' lawyer in 2003 when Varg escaped from jail
