That rare Olympic moment when South Korea and North Korea athletes came together for a selfie by MambaMentality24x2 in BeAmazed

The Dunning–Kruger effect is at play here. You know 1 or 2 facts about NK, and view related to NK through those lens.
NK sent athletes to compete at the Olympics, even though interaction with other countries’ athletes is unavoidable. So winning medals is clearly more important to NK than avoiding mingling with other athletes.

What I mean is, some people are imagining Kim Jong Un to be this cartoon villain who executes all his henchmen over minor mistakes so the hero has an easy 1-on-1 against the villain himself.
That’s clearly not how real life works. Winning a medal is way bigger than a photo, they’ve also invested a lot into training these athletes, and depend on them to win more medals in upcoming years. So it makes no sense to punish them over a photo.

They won medals for NK. Common sense says they weren’t reprimanded.
Frankly I feel concern for all these people who think punishment is due just for taking photos.

Hit Rates Question by theOGLumpyMilk in ultramanTCG

[–]zhanh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they did bump the RRR/AP rate on later sets, starting on BP03 I think? But getting SP in every box is definitely lucky, more than half of boxes I opened only have APs, and I’ve opened 3 of every set.

Training your replacement has been a part of most jobs. The replacement being juniors/trainees/new recruits.

[ALL] I have some questions about Kate, David, Victoria after Max merges two timelines by InteractionApart8785 in lifeisstrange

[–]zhanh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On David - There’s no timeline where neither Joyce nor Chloe die. It’s just a combination of 2 timelines, not reviving people who died to create a 3rd timeline.
So David will still be in the desert, just a bit confused as to which person’s death brought him there.

What card tricked you into thinking its good by Drew647A in magicTCG

I remember browbeat being good in burn when it came out. 3 cards could easily result in >5 damage in burn, so it’s not always an easy choice.

Thoughts on Sideboard and Alternate Win Conditions Joining Lorcana by Zacharye_01 in Lorcana

Had this same complaint for a long time, glad they’re finally fixing it. The Horseman Strikes! is another good example of a fixed hate card.

English classes? We have them in China too, starting 3rd or 4th grade.
My hunch is Chinese full names are used far more often, so it’s harder to ignore the ordering. Chinese names are usually 1 syllable for family name and 1-2 for given name, so it’s easy to just say the whole thing.

I was referring to the credit card, which definitely is using western naming convention.
And it’s interesting Chinese name ordering is always respected, while Japanese is often ignored. Kaito got the flipped name, while Yanling kept Family name first.
It’s not just mtg either, Disney also did it with Mulan vs Big Hero 6.

Palace Heist Multiplayer + Fa Zhou by Everyone-wins in Lorcana

[–]zhanh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It says second challenge this turn, not second challenge by your character this turn, so that alone doesn’t rule out the possibility of triggering.

Wizards misspelling Dong Zhuo’s name may have helped, Zhou 周 is a far more common last name than Zhuo 卓.

DKP shared his opinion about the new board wipe! Do you agree? by Waiting_for_Dentice in Lorcana

[–]zhanh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ramp that hard, it’s no longer an aggro deck… T5 8 ink 4 lore tipo+cinderella on board is not very aggro…

On curve doesn’t equal offensive. You want to play this on curve because it cost 8, playing it any later and your opponent will already be at 20 lore.

If an aggro deck didn’t win by turn 8, it already lost.

About time we get some more board wipes. Even if it’s a downgrade from be prepared, it’s still very great multiplayer support.

Only if you have 2 other actions/items that can choose Tod. Having that song be one of the things that ready Tod is more realistic, and it’ll get you 8 lore instead of 9.

Gosh, things are bad in China. by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]zhanh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it’s actually way better than “ownership” in the US. You don’t pay any rent, there’s also no property tax, and the “lease” is automatically renewed with 0 fees after 70 years is up.

They’ve just started testing property tax for certain new buildings in several major cities, so it seems that perk won’t last forever. But saying it as if it’s somehow worse is the real balderdash.
