@ErwinHugger @meme_space_nine @ReviewsPossum They may not be terrorists but the Church of Scientology is still a cult that brainwashes people only they have money to sue you into oblivion if you call them out

@meme_space_nine @ReviewsPossum No, these guys aren't terrorists, and the beliefs are very different

Japanese people don't know about the Church of Scientology and why no one respects them.

@lightning_kf If anyone in Gotham is going to kill villains like the Joker, it sure isn’t going to be Batman. The whole point of Batman’s no killing rule is that he doesn’t want to become like the criminal who killed his parents.
English
Under. The Red. Hood.
That movie has been around since 2010 and it's the best explanation as to why Batman does not kill, but somehow it flies over people's heads.
🎮𝙆𝙖𝙞𝙮𝙖🎮@KaiKai2492
The thing that gets me about the no kill rule is that it makes the characters moral value system so fucked. Take Batman for example, bro refuses to kill anyone despite KNOWING they'll escape Arkham and kill more, just because he doesn't want to get his hands dirty. He's basically saying his comfort/ability to remain a good person >>> countless innocent lives. Shit is insane. Brother if killing the Joker makes me a bad person but saves 10.000 lives in the process that's not even a trade I have to think twice about.

@voldaon @_middleEarth Nope. The official symbol of Numenor is the white tree of Nimloth. The tree is supposed to represent the line of Elros from which the royal houses of Gondor and Arnor descend from. Nimloth is also the ancestor of the white tree of Gondor

@MemoryMedieval The Franks became the French and Germans after the Treaty of Verdun when Charlemagne’s grandsons split the Carolingian Empire in three. West Francia, East Francia, and Middle Francia.

@its_hipolita None of Argentina’s indigenous people ever came to settle the Falkland Islands despite its proximity to the mainland. They only came to hunt seals, gather bird eggs, and left.

I’m a lefty anti-imperialist, but Argentina is wrong on the Falklands The islands have never had an Argentinian population. Falklanders predate Argentina, and 99% voted to stay British This isn’t a colonial issue. It’s used by ARG's far right to distract from domestic problems.

일본의 군마현에서는 신라 금동관과 유사한 대륜식입식관이 출토된것으로도 유명하죠.
상주출토 금동관과 상당히 유사합니다.

재미있게 풀어보는 역사기행 이것도 길어요 재미는 보장합니다. 2012년 일본의 폼페이 군마현 하루나 화산재 속에서 1500년만에 무릎 꿇은 자세로 화석화된 남자 인골 발견되었다. 그런데 그가 입고 있던 건 일본에서 처음 나온 백제식 동물 뼈 갑옷이었다. 더 충격적인 사실은 이 남자는 말을 타고 다니던 전문 기마 기술자였다. 백제에서 건너온 무사·기술자였을까? 기록에 없던 한·일 고대 교류의 숨겨진 진실을 따라가 보겠다. 👇👇👇

@RetrieveGoldens @Hezbolsonaro Because it shows how smart Kota is compared to the rest of the Jedi order. He knew Clones were sus from day 1.

@Hezbolsonaro Kota getting his own private army instead of using clones was so funny to me when I played Force Unleashed the first time.

@suibikan @otapediatrician A lot of people forget that the Spanish conquest of the Philippines was one of the major reasons for why Japan heavily restricted Christianity.

@otapediatrician カトリックの宣教師たちの一部がスペイン王が大軍を派遣できるようなことを言った可能性はあって、後世の我々はそんなことは無理だとわかるけど、当時の秀吉が得られる情報だとそんな判断は無理だろうなぁとは思う。事実フィリピンは征服されてたし。
日本語
豊臣秀吉はカトリックの宣教師が日本人を海外に奴隷として売り飛ばしてたのを知って激怒し、禁教に転じたとされていますね。
秀吉や彼の旧主だった織田信長はカトリックに対して友好的だったにも関わらず、人道を外れた対応を先に取ったのはカトリックの側でした。

@theuserusername @SandyofCthulhu Why don’t the North Macedonians just call themselves “Paeonian Slavs.”

@SandyofCthulhu Careful with the use of "Macedonian"

My friend took a multi-week tour of the Balkans and spoke with people from Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Macedonia. He said he learned that the Balkans problem was that every single nation had picked the historical time when they were at their greatest territorial extent and felt THAT’S what they deserved. So Hungary wanted Transylvania, Bulgaria wanted Thrace, and so forth.
My favorite tale was when he met a depressed-looking Macedonian who told him, “By rights we should own all the way through Persia and Egypt.” Referencing Alexander I guess (yes I know).
Anyway with all these conflicting claims it’s insane.

There are people in the Balkans who will spend all day editing Wikipedia just to do this.

@Kaizouwar1 I remember Accent Core Plus. I had the PSP version

@LastGreenseer1 @DynamoSuperX That’s objectively correct. For Ozai, being a Non-Bender is a fate worse than death. Plus watching his most hated child being crowned Fire Lord is also equally punishing. Ozai would have begged Aang to kill him.
English
@DynamoSuperX For Ozai, losing his bending was the worst possable fate. If he just died, he still would of died the most powerful firebender, but instead he spent the rest of his days powerless, forced to watch 100 years of expansion be undone

The thing that baffles me most about this map is that there was literally no point. JKR could have just said "every country has its own wizard school" and left it at that. No one would have questioned that.

I know it's old news but whenever people bring up the world outside Hogwarts I just remember that there's 1 school for the British isles... And the rest of the world looks like this.

@Ra2byou @axiochrono I’m more worried that JK Rowling is making all of the Balkans go to the same school

@axiochrono Britain and Japan get each get one school but she want us to believe that most of Asia incuding China and India has just one?
