A 1999 comic book by manga artist Ryo Tatsuki has been fuelling these rumours. In a new edition released in 2021, she claimed the next big earthquake would strike on 5 July this year.
It's called "The Future I Saw", with diary entries and is "based on a dream". One of the covers had a big disaster happening in 2011. That's the year Fukushima was hit with a tsunami.
A lot of superstition has arisen around it, causing tourism to drop off recently. And flights from Hong Kong to Japan have been massively reduced, and one airline even halted their flights there as of a week ago.
Long story short is that America has literally been going through "First they came for ..." for months now.
I can already see the headlines from later this year and the next, about how "no one could see it coming" and "why didn't anyone warn me(better)". You can actually just go to communities making fun of pro-brexit folk and see the same quotes from them afterwards.
The masons and other specialized workers were paid, and there is a theory that many of the laborers living near Giza were paid, but no one actually knows if they were. What is known, is that slaves were used in that era, and thinking they weren't at least used in transportation of materials is naive.
Once you've met a few CEOs, you quickly realize that most of them literally don't use or even get close to their own product unless someone else is showing them.
It's worth it if you can view it with the mindset that it's intentionally silly/"camp". For a very basic comparison: It's in a similar style to shows like Buffy or Charmed, just more self-aware.
Although it has to be said: It was technically a spinoff from Hercules, and there are crossover episodes. But that show is not nearly as good, for a multitude of reasons. And it got to the point where Kevin Sorbo(Hercules) is still salty about how a lot of the crew went over to Xena. He has even accused Lucy Lawless on social media of "stealing" crew from his show. To which she just laughs and mocks him, like she regularly does when he says stupid things.
That's why they go to Huntington Park, not South Central. Same reason they arrest cancer stricken children in courthouses instead of dangerous criminals. Because they're cowardly bullies who don't want anyone fighting back. And the one time they tried going into lower income immigrant community, they were chased out by the locals.
People who talk like that have only seen pictures from the show, or they watched it a little bit when they were a child and don't remember 99%.
Because Xena and Gabrielle did pretty much everything except the physical deeds. And it was recently confirmed in a comic, where they kiss and say they love eachother.
Hell, you could probably show them the old show with the parts set in modern times and they'd blow their gasket. Becase the reincarnations are the opposite genders for a while.
You seem to be missing one major piece of information: They don't care.
The more conservative someone is, the more selfish they are and less empathy they have. Most MAGAs are so far up their own ass that if you told them this, they'd roll their eyes and laugh at you. Because in their mind, nothing bad can happen to them. And if something like this did happened, they'd instantly start screaming about a false flag and want to arrest all democrats. You can't explain to them that they're wrong, or the potential dangers of their actions, because they 100% will not believe you. They only understand actions or mockery.
TL;DR: You're basically trying to convince Narcissus that he's not that good looking.
It would heavily depend on context and the situation. And in addition to the other replies, I think it would differ based on if Frieren was alone or traveling with someone, and who that was.
If she and Fern met them at a resturant, things might work out. But I don't think there would be much left of them if she met them alone on a remote path. At that point she'd probably attack first and ask questions later. Although she might hesitate to harm him in the process. So yeah, it depends on how they meet and if she or someone else with her can detect the difference.
Not even just that they wrote laws to protect their status: A two party system is in and of itself prone to issues like what is currently going on. George Washington knew that, and warned about its dangers. Because it has happened multiple times throughout history.
Paywall it for short term gain, at the expense of long term viewership growth.
Making a company worse for increased short term revenue, at the cost of customer retention, product quality, etc. causing increased turnover which further compounds all the other steps. Is a common issue among all modern companies.
In short, there was a shift in MBA education a while back that includes a bunch of lies-by-omission and misrepresented data. Meaning that the only thing on their mind when they graduate, is to please investors at any all costs, including company longevity.
Because it will cause major issues, people will demand a replacement, and a private company owned by someone who bribed Trump will swoop in and "save" everyone with a subpar solution that is worse and cost more.
Yes. Europeans themselves also travel to other European countries for cheaper healthcare. To the point where there is an actual medical tourism industry.
For example, there's a town of 35k people in Hungary that has over 300 dental clinics, because it's close to the Austrian border and is about half the cost or less.
