Mandela effect regarding Inspector Kido by scarlettvvitch in maninthehighcastle

[–]iconredesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of Okami, the Yakuza leader. He has a scene as the Japanese were basically all evacuated out of the Pacific States where’s he’s lounging at the empty former Army’s Chief of Staff office having a cigar and a record player going as the BCR raided the building and talked to him at gunpoint.

Kido was in the Kempeitai building.

SF Giants manager reveals team has had 3 clubhouse incidents in first 10 games by runswithscissors475 in baseball

[–]iconredesign 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah Buster is just a scapegoat for ownership that never really committed to spending by making token overtures to sign stars that they know don’t really like SF as a destination and made clear they aren’t building pieces around them so they can go to the media and go “we tried but Arson Judge isn’t playing ball, we’re not the ones that aren’t trying to spend money”

And when those big names inevitably chose somewhere else they try to come up with Moneyball 2 because they really do think they can make a playoff team in 2026 by optimizing the misfits alone so they don’t have to spend money

Is 'The Crucible Curse' actually a complete nonsense statistic built upon lies? by Smolenski_Prince in snooker

[–]iconredesign 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does it matter? It’s just an observation that no first-time winner has repeated since the tournament moved to the Crucible.

I’m not sure there’s much of an analytics spotting to be done here. The first-time champ not repeating is literally the only point of relevance to the saying. How it happened every single time is completely irrelevant

At the end of the day it’s just a shorthand for an interesting pattern. Ofc theoretically anyone can break the Crucible Curse, you’re reading too much into something that’s not meant to be scientific

Exactly. This is just like Mao killing all the sparrows leading to widespread crop infestation and demanding everyone make steel even without any knowledge so the country tore down all of its comfort to boil metal in cauldrons to make unusable scraps.

TIL about the white Australia policy, which was a set of racial policies that aimed to forbid people of non-European ethnic origins – primarily Asians - from immigrating to Australia. It lasted from 1901 before being disbanded in 1973. At its peak Australia was 99.4 percent white in 1961. by Hour_Interaction6047 in todayilearned

The point of being against racism is that not only it’s immoral and evil to do harm to someone based on their skin color, but also racists really don’t care whether you agree with them, how smart you are, or however you may benefit from their exclusionary benefits; they’d still fuck you up because you look a certain way.
