I once sponsored the bail for a person of Polish descent I know (via a bondsman). The bondsman left me a voicemail to say, in nicer terms, the person had better show up in court or else.

The voicemail opened with "hi, I'm calling for ... Oh, I'm going to mess this up ... "

His business card titled him "The Butcher" so I'm disappointed he didn't say "oh, I'm going to butcher this."

His business card titled him "The Butcher"

the person had better show up in court or else.

going out on a limb here, are you certain he was a bondsman and not a serial killer?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I asked him about that while I was filling out the paperwork. He said that his coworkers chose it for him because, in a previous career, he was literally a butcher who butchered animals.

Being a literal animal butcher could still be a nice cover for a hitman too.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You're not wrong.

That's not a good language to say "bless you" to a Polish person.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

This is assuming the name death note writer is Polish and not merely targeting someone Polish.

Be healthy.

As illustrated here (and remarked upon in the top comment).

Accidentally killing three other people because of typos

I think you actually need to have an image of the person's face while writing for it to go through

Maybe if they all look the same to you, though...

I don't remember. But now I wonder if the Death Note would work for a face blind person..

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 day ago

Is the note or the writer the racist one here?

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Write 'Zhang Wei' in the death note. More than 250k people drop dead.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Iirc, you have to picture the exact person when writing it. So you need both, the name and the face. If the person in possession of the Note is a westerner, that would easily drop the count to at least 100k people. 😏

What if you're racist and you think they all look alike?

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 10 points 1 day ago

That's exactly what I meant in my comment, btw.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What if you're racist

Then I've already failed.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What if the writer is racist and thinks all Chinese people look the same?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

what if the writer is faceblind and thinks all everyone looks the same

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 1 day ago

Yep, death note immune.
