@regehr I'm not sure why anyone focuses on this lawsuit by the man, the other two are good too. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/nyregion/german-tourist-new-york-lawsuit-walmart-nypd.html
@void_friend @regehr Embarrassed to say that a) I didn't grow up too far from Schemmerhofen, and b) this is absolutely on par for the folks down there 🤷
@floe @void_friend I was going to say that he had assimilated a remarkable amount of US culture in only six days
@regehr @floe @void_friend I learned recently that Germans are actually more litigious than the US! (https://eaccny.com/news/member-news/dont-let-these-10-legal-myths-stop-your-doing-business-in-the-u-s-myths-6-and-7-the-u-s-is-very-litigious-and-that-is-too-threatening-to-a-small-company-like-ours-as-a-result-the-risk/ has a list of the top 5, Germany is number one)
But apparently this is mostly because we love suing the government for issuing wrong parking tickets and stuff and our neighbors for having hedges that are too high.
@floe @void_friend alas, the wrong parts
@void_friend “my Apple Watch registered at this time a higher pulse.”
@regehr Salsa verde is too hot. Dude would be granted instant asylum as a white refugee by the current administration.
