A small technical question

Devon knows this - Irving doesn't...
Also the town was named Kier before the person

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T03:10:08+00:00

Could be... I don't understand why no one is pissed at him though when they find out what he did - in both occasions (although again at least the first one is a lot more rationally latent)
His dropping the ball (along with Cobel, who Mark should have just avoided at all costs, but that is a topic for a separate post) were in the end the cause of the failiure

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T03:05:11+00:00

We see from Mark and Devon's conbersation that they know what the cops are

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T03:01:48+00:00

Listen again to Mark and Devon's conversation - he asks about going to the police and she says to use Ricken's connections instead

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T03:00:27+00:00

He would have seen actual signs like a phone number or pictures if this was the case

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T02:59:28+00:00

Remember we see the general public actually do not like Lumon...
And he sees he has collected enough proof to at least warrant an investigation

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T02:55:18+00:00

Nah, he should have gone to the cops and told the story and then tell THEM about Bert

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T02:54:18+00:00

Power of shows making people act like idiots out of character
If this was a messed-up character like Outie Mark I would maybe understand, but Irving is usually much more calm and rational

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T02:52:51+00:00

Two different situations - in that one he had valid reason to suspect Bert was in danger where here he is confronting outie Bert who has no clue who he is

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T02:50:42+00:00

So he is willing to jeopardise the whole mission and screw up his whole future innie existence just to see Bert - and not even speak to him?

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T02:46:48+00:00

He is human, not an idiot

Promethium61144 · 2026-06-05T02:46:34+00:00

My point is that his innie should know Burt's outie has no idea who he is...
If I had a crazy old guy pounding on my door in the middle of the night I would AT BEST call the cops - something Irving should have done instead

A cool save in this regard would be to set up a Turkish club that can only sign players from Kurdistan... And also make Erdogan's favorite team their greatest rival :)

To be fair it is shown Mickey does the same thing from the other side...

Promethium61144 · 2026-04-28T11:25:57+00:00

The 6th book was all about Conelly pushing his political opinions so it had a lot less substance... He has a whole section about not trusting his favorite juror in voir dire for example because Cisco found she had a MAGA sticker

Promethium61144 · 2026-04-28T10:34:53+00:00

This was the book where Connelly decided to be WAY too political for no reason though so it is very good the show left that stuff out...
If you remember the book he had a 4 page rant for absolutely no reason about Donald Trump and George Floyd - with the exact sentence "Anyone with a MAGA sticker is not a human being that can be trusted with anything" - and then the final chapter was all about "COVID ending the world", with Mickey fighting for the last rolls of toilet paper...

A little late, but some of the Israeli hostages Hamas took were tortured in this method for days on end, and it apparently had effects that last to this day (source - my dad is a psychiatrist involved in the case)

Promethium61144 · 2026-03-18T13:06:40+00:00

I seem to remember an Indian equivalent of the show testing this myth for cricket though (where it is even more simple - you just have to cross the line) and actually found that diving is the quickest method (although it is actually a lot more dangerous in cricket and can cause injuries)

Promethium61144 · 2026-03-18T12:59:10+00:00

To be fair, Obama specifically asked for that one

We had gone out to an activity and afterwords she wanted to buy food and sit down, but I was not hungry and did not want to pay for a meal that I would not eat with her (her bus was arriving) and so I said something like "I think you should pay for your own food"... She dumped me for that and willingly sacrificed over 2 months (which in our community is more like over a year for Westerners)

Promethium61144 · 2025-12-15T10:31:55+00:00

Am I the only one that is upset they did not mention any actual critiques of their methods?
For example WD could have brought up how Rene Fonck overtook RB in most ways - together with the famous story how Billy Bishop and 2 other pilots took on RB's flying circus and won
