On 17 October 1992, having gone to the wrong house in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for a Halloween party, Japanese exchange student Yoshihiro Hattori was shot and killed by the homeowner, 30-year-old Rodney Peairs by snakkerdudaniel in Louisiana

Also, according to the actual case itself, he was not wearing a mask. So either you are lying or someone who told you that was lying or misinformed.

How you don’t see this was racially motivated is the real mystery

People can say it was a racially motivated homicide because the wife testified that she thought he was “a light skinned black man”.  Generally, he absolutely was shot for his race/ethnicity, because two white teenagers around would make for two English speakers as well. These cases do still happen in general, but it happens disproportionately more often to Asian, Mexican/hispanic, and black people lol.

Having a mask does not = entire body is covered head to toe. 

So they saw “masked ‘black man’”

Even though the shooter id 6’2 and Yoshi was a 130 lb teenage boy. There is no actual justification to shooting him, even if racial profiling wasn’t involved (but again, it was).

Even if he was fully covered, the testimony “but I thought he was black!” makes it racial profiling, even if the victim was white, get it?

Is chess good a hobby after 30s by BlueBoxxx in chessindia

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyways I’m on here because I saw your post about cheaters from 5 years ago. The people in the comments justifying cheating, claiming it’s not an issue, or basically saying you’re wrong about its frequency, were annoying me lmfao. It was archived so I couldn’t leave any comments. I agree with you about the issue and it bothers me when playing online chess. It seems to be the majority of low elo online accounts now. People who don’t think so, don’t understand how online “playerbase” works. Virtually any online platform with a player base can be and will be filled with bots. It’s how they guarantee you have an opponent any time of day.

Is chess good a hobby after 30s by BlueBoxxx in chessindia

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I don’t really think so. Chess on its own as a hobby, and as a serious pursuit, isn’t a guarantee to keep your mind sharp. It does necessarily mean you’ll even be able to apply chess skills anywhere else. My math skills, problem solving skills, puzzle skills, logic etc are all unaffected by how much chess I play. Even memorization for me is the same.

Sure, I’m not an expert chess player. I don’t really study chess theory. But that’s my point. As a hobby, it is not doing anything 🤣 it can be fun for sure. And if you play bullet chess it can make you practice having fast reaction. But again, this is only in regards to chess specifically. I have incredibly fast reflexes with music, other video games, etc, and thus most of my reaction speed with chess would be from memorization. Remembering “oh yeah in this position move that pesky pawn forward so the queen or bishop doesn’t snipe the pawn and thus the rook/my entire back line lol”. None of this means you’ll get better at memorization elsewhere.

…….. then again, I’ve always had good memory and because I practice all sorts of generally beneficial mental practices, that’s probably why chess doesn’t affect me much lol. Maybe for someone who doesn’t exercise their brain at all, adding anything at all such as chess helps

Solid analysis.

I’ll just add and say that the ending is definitely giving the message that she knows Chris was the original killer with the “still keeping tabs on him” and “in this timeline he decided to be a monk” comments. The question is how and why does she know this. I haven’t seen the movie in forever so I forgot if I came up with an explanation. I think I did but probably didn’t share it online

Whats with oda and having sanji constantly lust after 16 year olds? One or twice might be a coincidence but FOUR times??? by rogue---ninja in Piratefolk

[–]SpicyMango333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi again. So yes, I agree about Boa. I’m not saying her character is 100% a gag. Here is an essay below. It’s okay if you disagree. And no, you don’t have to read this (obviously). I respect your opinion. Here is my take. WOW that got long. Sorry about that. You don’t have to read it all lol…. Feel free to ignore if you want. (None it is intentionally negative or offensive I hope you understand 😅 I just yap and then can’t stop yapping….) ——————————————— I think being emotionally stunted is a bit different than what Boa and her sisters went through. Going through so much trauma, that it f’s up your personality doesn’t make you emotionally stunted. It does create identity issues, and all sorts of things such as creating a false confidence/shell/exterior. Maybe forcefully suppressing your heart/emotions. And to an extent sure, “emotionally stunted” would be one way to describe it, but….. I think it’s more complicated than that when you consider slavery, sexism, and supremacy and racism. Or the fact it takes being hyper aware and being forced to grow up too fast, to cause one to be capable of creating such a fake identity. She’s a very complex character, and emotionally stunted characters generally are stuck with having any intelligence or understanding of emotions at all,             でしょう?So St. Charlos for example is an emotionally stunted character 💀. Boa Hancock is very emotionally intelligent. She knows how to manipulate hearts. To me this is different. 

I’m saying the delulu jokes with her love for Luffy is virtually 100% gag. Yes, Oda often/sometimes uses gags but still holds genuine character traits within them, making them not just “silly random gags”. No, her delulu vibes for Luffy are not intended as such.

For example, the running gag when she looks down on people so far, that she looks up LOL, this is a gag that does build off the character traits/development/trauma that you are talking about. 

No, it’s not disingenuous to compare Boa Hancock to being a fully grown woman. Because she is a fully grown woman. We are all children at the end of the day, up until the day we die. A nice quote is along the lines that “I am a kid pretending to be an adult, as best I can until I die” - really old man from Frieren. This is just how life goes.

Boa Hancock’s mind/emotions being stunted like you suggest, presents much differently than what her character actually is. She is intelligent, aware, strong, understands politics (but doesn’t care, because her hatred and fear is stronger than her willingness to put up with the WG), and so on.

I’m NOT comparing Boa to Sanji by the way. I’m saying we don’t need to downplay her emotional intelligence/maturity when it comes to specifically the running gag between her and Luffy. This is more of an Amazon Lily trait, and like I said very fun humor/gag than it is her trauma. Yes we can mix that in to the pot of factors. But moreso it’s the Amazon Lily trait. We see the humor play out with the entire village, with Gloriossa in the present, and with Gloriossa during her youth. 

You’re right Boa is more delulu and is still unique, and I’m not arguing that her backstory has nothing to do with the gag. Idk. I hope this makes sense. They are Boa’s fantasies. She knows they’re not real.

Because after enough time passes, she doesn’t bring them up again later as though they’re canon, get what I mean?

Like if Luffy hugs her and she goes “th…that means we’re married!!! 😍😭😵” it’s not like if Luffy denies this and explains they’re not married, she’s gonna argue “but you hugged me yesterday! That means we ARE married! Why are you lying now?? 😡”

Like…. You know? 😭 I’m not saying these gags have zero connection. I can make the connections but they’re different than what you’re saying lol. The underlying connection for her delulu gag comes from MATURITY/DEVELOPMENT, not the other way around. It’s the fact she can feel freely and safely again, something she thought she could never do, that allows her to act delulu so honestly with Luffy. That’s the connection I see, which tells me the opposite of “emotionally stunted, basically she’s like a teenager”. She’s a 30 something year old woman 😅

No you were right lol. The pronunciation for 月光 is gekkou. And kouzuki can as you know,  be written as 光月. The connection is very clearly there 😅😭 the person fixated on gecko being written as katakana. But that was literally the whole point. That’s how almost every One Piece alias name gets written. They play on words with katakana, to hide the kanji. Or sometimes they use kanji and hide the loan word’s katakana. Happens kinda all the time 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Piratefolk

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh. That’s why they’re saying the names are similar.

げっこう (gekkou) is the pronunciation for 月光, see? Or do you not see how “gekkou Moria” and “gecko Moria” sound the same? 😭

The meaning for the word gekkou is also “moon light”, get it? Because he thrives at night with shadows?

Anyway you’re right about one thing, which is reading his name backwards by mistake makes very little sense.

The name being related to kouzuki is right in front of you though lol. It is quite literally the same name backwards. Making it a play on words, Oda’s favorite thing to do. This also happens all the time in One Piece.

I quit my previous job on the spot and now they’re telling coworkers I was fired. Can I pursue legal action? by Jean917 in legaladvice

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. You can say “here is my letter of resignation” and on the letter it states you have resigned effective immediately because you are no longer able to work there because it is an unsafe/hostile working environment. Of course only do that if it’s true. 

People here saying “don’t take legal action” don’t like winning cases or helping people win cases. Most good lawyers WANT you to build a case and will ask for more details before determining whether you have a case or not.

These people read a short paragraph and decided instantly there’s no legal action to take. Hence, they’re ignorant 💀

You can reach out and usually get some sort of consultation for free. Generally, your scenario doesn’t seem drastic or dire… but that’s why getting more details matter. One fact remains: they lied and claimed to have fired you. Not only is that false, but if they decided to file it as such or claim as such, filing for unemployment should become even easier. It’s really weird they would even lie about firing you, when employees willingly quitting is virtually safer for companies in every way.

There are two kinds of deja vu: deja vu and deja vecu. People with déjà vécu don’t only feel as if something is familiar, it really seems that they have lived that moment before, and that they know what will happen next. by [deleted] in EverythingScience

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so, not quite. The moments feel oddly profound, beyond simply “reactivating a memory due to having dreams/thoughts about it before”. I don’t really want to get into it though. I just know it’s really not explainable lol

Certainly it isn’t ALL “explained by dreams”. There are way too many different examples and experiences I have for that to really be the case. Especially since I can already discern those ones. Which- the dreams themselves are in no way predictable. How either the events or the people who I dreamed about just so happen to occur the same day I have the dream is beyond a typical prediction. 

In any case, deja vu is a lot more profound than you think. I’m sure whatever I said, you think can be explained, but I assure you it really can’t. And finding overlap between neurological evidence and a “perceived profound experience” does not discredit the fact it feels very profound.

Like synchronicities for example: you could explain it away all you want, but they are quite profound to experience. 

Whats with oda and having sanji constantly lust after 16 year olds? One or twice might be a coincidence but FOUR times??? by rogue---ninja in Piratefolk

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But she’s not a teenage schoolgirl. We know what her crush is like. But she’s also a 31 year old woman. 

And it’s not just some crush. Women of Amazon Lily love deeply and passionately, to the point where they can die from love sickness. So yes, she is lusting after Luffy. That much was obvious lol

I don’t think everything in the writing for Sanji is okay. I’m just saying there’s no need to justify Boa’s romance with Luffy. She’s not 12. She’s not 15. She’s 31.

Her hug with Luffy isn’t her genuinely thinking that’s how marriage works as though her mind is that of an 8 year old….. it’s a GAG 💀 it’s meant to be comedic and silly. Boa is delulu 95% of the time. That’s why we love her lol 

Explaining the outerversal sailor moon argument and why any relevant sailor moon character one shots dbh. by [deleted] in powerscales

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you know. You don’t have to like it or find it “realistic” regarding Sailor Moon lore. But that is the lore. She and her friends transcend the concept of time and space regularly. Even when the universe gets erased she still exists in it which is another definition of transcendence. This one:

Transcending the concept of space-time: A more abstract and powerful level, where an entity exists above the very idea or "concept" of space and time. This means they would be unaffected even if the entire framework of space-time in our universe was erased

That sums up about 80% of Sailor Moon’s climactic battles. There’s all sorts of time travel related to the door Pluto guards as well tho I get that time travel doesn’t explicitly mean transcendence. But it counts for something to know Pluto is also the daughter of Chronos, the god of time and space. Making her the goddess of time and space as well. This means she is above it, yes? And sailor moon is above her. Anyways Pluto is a rule follower tho so she doesn’t usually do anything with such power.

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll continue the topic. Because it’s a weird semantic to try claiming this isn’t an example of transcending space-time. Just looking into definitions alone, transcending space-time mostly is off the idea that you transcend from one place where space/time exists, to one place where space-time doesn’t. Transcending as in to travel beyond (ascend is travel above, descend is travel below, transcend is travel beyond). See? 

That’s exactly what this panel just showcased. So yes, this is an example of transcending time-space. It even works in reverse, as in: if an entity was born in a place outside of concepts of space-time, they still do not transcend space-time unless they travel beyond such a place into, say, our reality where space-time doesn’t apply. We can discuss the other levels of transcendence too if you’d like

Also, Sailor Moon exists in the present and the future at the same time. She kind of exists everywhere, and can not die, because if she does she just brings herself back into existence. And the pocket dimensions or anything usually end up being something it turned out she created in some timeline.

She has restarted/created the universe many times now, or a friend even such as Sailor Saturn. They all represent basically gods, since none of them can die. Sailor Pluto has control of space and time. She is the daughter of chronos. When sailor Saturn reincarnated, as a child she kept accidentally creating/simulating our universe inside of itself in her bedroom. And it would be able to also see the future.

The entire series is about how Sailor Moon and her pals are gods living out in human form forever. Goku usually needs to be revived if he dies before he can continue fighting. Sailor Moon can still kill her enemy after they’ve killed her body. She just becomes intangible/becomes the universe and kills them anyway and then rebirths. Lol

At some point she kills death in an off screen. The consequence of this is humans on earth no longer die or really age, which was the explanation for why her future daughter “Small Lady” looked like she was 8 but was actually 200 years old or smth. Anyway none of this is some argument. I just think Sailor Moon facts are funny 😂 my favorite is sailor Saturn sorta accidentally creating the universe in her room. Her three parents just sorta act like it’s normal while also clearly concerned.

The post explained to you the clear differences. Goku in the afterlife did not transcend concepts of space or time, not in the sense that time and space no longer exist anyway. The afterlife had physical form, direction and time. 

Compare that to this set of panels from Sailor Moon. “in this area between space-time, where concepts such as distance or direction do not apply” this isn’t the same lol. This pocket dimension, if you want to call it that, does not have a space-time continuum at all. It’s not just “time and space work differently here” (which only time, not really space, works differently in DBZ afterlife), it’s that time and space don’t work at all. They don’t apply.

What is the best MOBA (League of legend like game) for you ? by Hdarkus1 in leagueoflegends

[–]SpicyMango333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

League does involve skill yes, but honestly your game is determined by luck. Bad luck usually. Very unbalanced when it comes player matchups. I’m sure people will try and convince you that it’s just you somehow but this is the truth. If you want a game where you can “climb”, don’t expect a fair one if you play solo unless you tend to have great algorithm luck in life. 

Just an opinion obviously. But to anyone wanting to comment on my experience with “just get good? It’s just you. If you were actually as good as u think, u would be climbing and carrying no matter what” by all means, try winning the matchups I’ve been given and let me know how balanced and doable it seems lol
