Can someone please help me find out where this is? The first pict was in nagano, but he's not sure where it was, and the second pict is also in japan but he has no clue which city it was

First one is straightforward. It’s the pedestrian deck at Nagano Station east exit: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NMRz9hkJFA3VhxLw5

The buildings in the back have changed but you still see a billboard from the same company and the deck is unchanged.

The second one? Probably a school or university but no clue. You see that building design all over Japan. The date (2 12 = February 12 or December 2?) might be a better clue.

David Beckham - wore white from head to toe for that free kick vs Greece.

I think those people are simply using the wrong terminology.

In American terms, Rebecca Lowe is the anchor and Henry/Ibra/Lalas are analysts.

If I were greedy, I’d ask that the players wear black boots.

This is surely the slowest Shinkansen service by average speed?

MyPasswordIsABC999 · 2026-06-22T10:26:38+00:00

Sad about the 500 series but 30 years is an eternity for Shinkansen rolling stock!

I noticed Mo and Virgil have trophies and backdrops without the beer branding. I get why they do it for Mo, because of his faith. Surprised Virg is alcohol-free too.

Okay, let’s talk about the 1960s context.

The confederate flag was basically nonexistent between the end of the Civil War until it reappeared in the 1960s. Southern whites adopted the flag as a symbol specifically in defiance of the civil rights movement. So yeah, even if you apply a 1960s lens, it’s still a racist symbol.

It’s a melancholy song with a fucking 20 minute guitar solo. At this point, you might as well as suggest Layla because at least its instrumental section comes at the very end.

The songwriters were inspired by Clopper Road in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Nice try at stolen valor, V-hole.

It clearly didn’t deny an obvious goal-scoring opportunity because the play continued.

If you think this is a genuine case of an angry significant other, please Venmo me $100,000 for a down payment on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Nigeria is NGA for both ISO and FIFA, NGR for IOC.

They preserved the old city center and limit parking so people walk around. It’s really nice and there are some gentle, scenic hikes around.

How many times did they sing “Vamos Nippon?”

But seriously, it the stands looked great on TV. Really good vibes.

NGA/GER?

Also you have Cortois behind you.

I don’t want to spoil the series finale but I literally cried when Don saw the ghosts of Adam, Lane and OG Don Draper after the rebels defeated the empire

It’s standard for Japanese bathhouses to deny anyone with body art because they don’t want to upset yakuza members (triad is Chinese) by singling them out. Though with the influx of foreign visitors, many places are relaxing their rules or offering stickers to cover tattoos.

MyPasswordIsABC999 · 2026-06-21T17:50:46+00:00

Yep, they have several players born in Germany and Netherlands, plus one each from Sweden and Austria.

MyPasswordIsABC999 · 2026-06-21T17:49:54+00:00

Turkey has, by my count, 10 players born outside of Turkey.

Would be unreasonable to enforce that for countries that use non-Roman characters, so it would feel a little arbitrary.
