@threeunderwood @Victorious__108 @artenpedia Those were Ainu natives from Hokkaido who weren't considered as Japanese back then. If I remember correctly, this bear ceremony was deemed as barbaric and banned sometime around or shortly after WW2, the ban was lifted later but nobody wanted to continue this practice anymore.

@ChiangChechen1 @Victorious__108 @artenpedia Wtf?....💀📷📷📷Some Japanese in the past are really brutal and ....had many strange thought in their mind.💀💀

Ainu people with bear, Japan, early 20th century.

@threeunderwood @Victorious__108 @artenpedia They believe the bear cub is a vessel of a god who travels to the earth. They raise a cub after killing its mother, shoot the bear with decorated arrows during a festival, let it die slowly to entertain the god so he can return to his realm happily. youtu.be/qk-en58gnAk?si…

@Victorious__108 @artenpedia 😱😱😱what they did with it?

@thatniggarhodes @son_of_uki Actors don't have to be of exactly same age as the characters they play, but those actors just look too old to be passed as teenagers.

@son_of_uki Make them come find 17 year olds to act?

“high school” and they all look 35 lmao

@GroverWorthing1 @Rothmus I know the word is Spanish, but maybe because it sounds like Nirvana, if someone introduces herself to me as Nevada without showing me the spelling, I'd probably think she's from a Southeast Asian country.

@Rothmus Virginia, Georgia, and Carolina are all very good names. Oh - I see the chart already covered that. Nevada or Arizona might work. Forgot about Dakota. Wyoming not so much, but Cheyenne is a good name. Maine? I can see that. Weird, but doable.

They all work as girl names.

@BruskPoet His ability just doesn't show well in the movies. I thought his ability was just an armor when he got it in the first movie, they pointed out his energy absorbing ability in the second movie but he didn't tank too much Shao's attack besides at the beginning of the fight.

I really need people to stop pretending to like Cole Young or think he’s a good character. I’m seeing way too much of it after the movie came out. Feeling bad for the actor not getting a fair chance in the franchise is different than saying the character was was good. The two are separate. The first is very valid and I also share. I want Lewis Tan back and he clearly wants to be Kenshi. I think that’s great. He’s genuinely a great martial artist and would work so well in Mortal Kombat with his talents but they have to be put to good use. Having him return as Kenshi and forgetting he was ever Cole Young would be a better and I know 99% of MK fans would be just fine with it. Frankly, all this “Actually Cole Young was a good character they did him dirty bring Cole back” are crocodile tears. None of you actually like or think he’s a good character. None of you did when the first one came out. Stop pretending to think otherwise. His character was a major part of why the first movie sucked and goes against the essence of the franchise. No one wants to watch a MK movie focused on a character that doesn’t exist in the games. They want it focused on characters we know and love.

@yafavouriteboy @ItzVarun_____ In theater.

@ItzVarun_____ Where can I watch it

Watched Mortal Kombat II (2026) for the plot The plot:

@Charlen_92 @ItzVarun_____ And for some reasons, she took the mask off with hands when it could magically appear on her face. It's kinda weird indeed.

@ItzVarun_____ Only bad thing is the stupid Nanotech mask, otherwise perfect Kitana. Her being a double agent for Raiden is also a great change imo.

@libsoftiktok @JeffcoSchoolsCo I used to see this ad a lot on YouTube.

INBOX: This ad popped up on a computer at a middle school in @JeffcoSchoolsCo. I was sent it by someone who was observing a class. This is what they’re putting in front of your children. Groomers.

@LovelyLaurenOG @IhateTQIA852 @michaelthecat11 Michael is not really a good example for this argument, he is supposed to be a stereotypical fat man with midlife crisis, but even then he's not that fat or ugly compares to many middle aged men IRL.

@IhateTQIA852 @michaelthecat11 She literally just looks like a regular realistic woman? Why can male characters look average but female characters can't?

@WorldDomStudios @SandyofCthulhu @Clint_Davey1 In early days of AOE III, the game is solely focused on colonisation of the new world, so when you play as British, you play as a British colony in America instead of the country in Europe. So when you do a revolution, it represents a rebellion in new world colony.

@SandyofCthulhu @Clint_Davey1 That's dumb. Spanish and British are still around. A more logical evolution would be something like Aztecs -> Mexicans

I have since learned that Civ 7 tried this idea but did it in a terrible way and no one likes it.

@Pirat_Nation This sounds familiar.

A new U.S. mobile network called Radiant Mobile is launching, specifically marketed to Christians. It operates on T-Mobile’s 5G network and uses advanced filtering technology to block pornography at the carrier level, a feature that cannot be disabled even for adult accounts. It also filters content related to gender and sexuality by default, though adults can adjust this setting. Plans start at around $30 per month for unlimited service, with a portion of fees donated to the customer’s chosen church. The service aims to provide a faith-focused environment free from porn and certain cultural content, according to its founders.

@Giovanni_zal @tt_ttaa41634614 This cross could end up in Ireland even if Ireland didn't directly engage in trade with Arabs. Think about it, it could be brought to France by an Arab trader from Al-Andalus, then brought to Wessex by a French man, then somehow sold to Ireland.

@ChiangChechen1 @tt_ttaa41634614 لا احد يعرف إيرلندا قبل قرون لم تكن مصدر تجاره العرب سيطر على جزء كبير من أوروبا في وقتها ربما سيطروا على أيرلندا ايضا من يعلم ؟

「アッラー」は、単に神という意味であり、イスラム教の神の名ではない。何を騒いでいるのやら。

@Giovanni_zal @tt_ttaa41634614 Same as why there are Arabs in America nowadays? Long distance travel was rare back then but not impossible, besides, discovering this cross in Ireland doesn't necessarily indicate there were Arabs in Ireland in 8th century, it could end up there through trade.

@tt_ttaa41634614 لماذا سيكون هناك عرب في إيرلندا ؟ نعلم المقصود هو الإله لكن بالغه العربيه يعني شخص مسلم ما لقد استحوذ العرب على إسبانيا والبرتغال وجزء من فرنسا واليونان في القرون الوسطى

@halenhargreevs I started playing video games when I was two years old, I'll say my first game is Command and Conquer Red Alert 2, but I definitely played other games earlier than C&C, just can't remember their names.

Without telling me your age… what was the very FIRST video game you ever played?

@Hoopss Obviously staged.

Good people make good things happen 🥹

@WesterosNewsOne @Dexerto You know Japan officially has a queen, right? Takaichi is the prime minister, even herself won't accept to be called the queen of Japan.

@Dexerto The Far Kingdom of Japan is selling dolls in the likeness of their Queen, Lady Sanae of House Takaichi.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi now has her own anime-style collectible figure

@FightTezaFight @Dexerto Different calendar, their year 0 is 57 BC of Gregorian calendar.

@Dexerto I know that some Indian countries/religions celebrate New Year today, but why is Nepal so far ahead? What’s the reasoning? The year is determined by how long it takes for the earth to do a full revolution around the sun. Thats ~365.25 days. Nepal is a point in earth.

Nepal enters the year 2083 today They are roughly 56 years and 8 months ahead of the western calendar

@MissPookems Command and Conquer franchise.

‼️GAMERS ONLY‼️ Whats one "dead" game, you'd revive rn if you could?
