  • 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.






  • 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.



  • 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.




  • I’m pretty sure you can trace the management downturn of American companies back to a change in MBA curriculum.

    You can see when they started getting hired after the shift. Where they were taught that as long as your department is doing well and has positive numbers, LITERALLY nothing else matters. The company could be crashing and burning around you, you might even be causing it, but as long as those numbers are going up, you’ll quickly get hired at another company. Because every single iota of their education is about pleasing investors who only care about money now, and not potential money in a few years.
