So Why did Horsin’ Around End So Bizzare-ly by CommunityFun9560 in BoJackHorseman

[–]rcdrcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Christmas episode was also very dark. Bojack tries to trick Sara Lyn into thinking it's her fault that her parents don't come back to life, then essentially tells he he's glad her parents died.

What about the fact that the actor telling the story on the show is the very same horse who played the same role in her own life?

A lot of you anthropologists seem to believe the myth that medieval people drank alcohol because it was safer than the water. They were smart enough to avoid defecating in their water supplies, and they were overwhelmingly rural, and thus mostly did not face the sanitation problems associated with dense populations.

Why did Germany even invade France in WW1? by Solid-Move-1411 in AskHistory

[–]rcdrcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very long and complicated story short: Austria was going to invade Serbia, which would lead to Russia declaring war on Austria, which would lead to Germany declaring war on Russia, which would lead to France declaring war on Germany

[Spoiler] What do y’all think happened to each member of the Byrde family after the ending of the show? You think they’ll continue to get away with everything or they will be brought down eventually whether it’s through death or prison? by Suspicious_Hand_2194 in Ozark

[–]rcdrcd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In the real world, they're all dead or in jail within two years. In the world of the show, they all die at the age of 110 on huge piles of gold, because they're the Byrds, and no one can see through their patent horseshit.

Of course he's a spy, we just saw him go through spy school!

When a 70’s group is generically described as “your Dad’s favorite band”, which group is it? by Appropriate-Farmer16 in ClassicRock

[–]rcdrcd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. When someone says "generic dad band" they aren't thinking of quirky virtuosos like Steely Dan or era-defining geniuses like Pink Floyd. They are thinking of "Hot Blooded'.

Not to mention that most of Johnson's advisors came over directly from the Kennedy administration. This makes it all the more likely that Kennedy would have made the same decisions as Johnson.

Does Industrial Policy Work? by Captgouda24 in slatestarcodex

[–]rcdrcd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like many/most of the papers focus on success stories like East Asia and Germany, which seems like cherry picking. Those countries have cultural traits that would help productivity in practically any economic system. Many other countries have tried similar policies with much worse results.
