A not-so-fun fact: The Tetsuya in his name is actually 徹也. Just a coincidence that it sounds the same as “staying up all night”. Fun coincidence though.
My wife and her cousin both have the name Hiroko, but the kanji is different so they’re different names. It’s like Lewis and Louis, or Stuart and Stewart. Anglophones seem to have a hard time grasping that, despite it being quite common in English
Especially if you discount all the other comedy shows that don’t involve a person and their robot friends trapped in space being forced to watch cheesy movies.
My favorite episode was when they watched Zardoz, although I’m not 100% sure they ever did watch it - I may have just watched it by myself and imagined them saying stuff about it. Honestly, Sean Connery in a codpiece writes itself.
I guess this is the part where I tell you that 90% of what you hear about the killdozer guy is complete hogwash. and a lot of the “documentaries” are about as fantasy as Harry Potter.
the man decided to live in what before was the office area of the garage he bought, was surprised when an industrial building was put up in an industrial zone (why do you think the garage was built there in the first place?) got upset that the city didn’t connect him to the sewer lines for free (it would have required installing and operating a sewage pump alongside the actual sewer lines) and was told to install a septic tank like many Americans. He was then fined for dumping his literal shit into the local water supply.
he was a petty, spiteful, greedy, deranged, vindictive and straight up evil person
Better quality of evil than anything Trump or Putin exude.
Fine piece of history. I didn’t say he was a good man, but he did embody & give course to frustrations many of us feel. For proper dramatic storytelling, you’ve got to have some extremes. WWII is many important histories. It’s full of murdering assholes the world round. The people won.
He’s an interesting story in that he was a tremendous asshole without being a billionaire or politician. Unlike musk or trump, he made a statement without killing anyone but himself, without the stranglehold of millions of viewers or other system slaves, as the aforementioned both grasp on like a mother’s teat.
He wasn’t evil, he was just a cunt. A nightmare neighbor whose frustrations were completely self induced. The only reason people didn’t die was the area was evacuated. He was fueled by insane Christian inspiration.
Less a fine piece of history, more a piece of fictionalized mythology.
He didn’t kill anyone else ONLY because he missed his shots and couldn’t really see where he was driving. He made turrets in the tank “armor” to poke a gun through and shoot from. He intended to inflict death upon anyone in his way. Also driving a tank through multiple buildings should have caused casualties. Wanna know why it didn’t? Because they evacuated the entire town once he started the rampage. He fully intended AND attempted to kill many people including police and innocent bystanders. Statement or not, he should not be seen as a hero. I encourage you to visit Granby, CO and talk to some locals. They all vilify that man. As the rest of us should also do.
90% of statistics on the internet are made up on the spot. Just because people stop replying to you doesn’t mean you’ve “changed their views”, but that’s the only thing you will encounter if you never stop before they do. A big hint that they won’t be convinced is how they will just try to nitpick the most irrelevant points in your replies, ignoring the crux of the argument.
Acting like that is a good way to get stuck wasting your time, just give them a chance to know the facts and correct themselves with actual evidence and citations, and then move on. You help more people “change their views” that way, nobody is going to your shitpost deeply nested reply threads anyway. Nobody worth considering, anyway.
