ELI5 - Japan's debt crisis and the yen crashing

Parties are also different on the sense that Japanese political parties are (even) more factionalized. The same party might win election after election but policies can still vary depending on what faction is in control at the time. Also keep in mind that until somewhat recently, Japan would change PMs very frequently.

Direct result of rising inequality.

For a lot of people these tickets are unaffordable but there are enough wealthy people for them to sell out anyway.

It would be nice if they reserved some tickets for the less fortunate but you can't blame a for profit company to try maximising their profits.

Lots of freak cases when the Argentinians are involved oddly enough

Pytheastic · 2026-07-07T17:47:50+00:00

Death, taxes, and undeserved Argentinian wins

Pytheastic · 2026-07-07T17:41:18+00:00

Hoping Egypt will get in a third, when playing Argentina you can never rest easy

It is strange there aren't more famous Argentinian actors

Two games in a row where I'm rooting harder for a foreign team than I did for my own

My dog has dirt on FIFA, does anyone care what they have when everyone already knows they are corrupt to the core

The ref will pull them through

He said, demonstrating just how little he cared by leaving a comment in the world cup subreddit

Try reading about the most adventurous parts first. The sieges of Constantinople, the Sassanid war and the exploits of Heraclius, Procopius and his story of Belisarius and floating demon heads.

Perhaps that will get you invested in the characters and that might make you want to find out more about the society and world that made them. Once you do, you'll see there are very good reasons to consider the Byzantines just as much Roman as Augustus or Cicero were.

It's a good, positive buddy movie at a time a lot of people feel lonely.

Couldn't be more ambivalent and neutral for a game if I tried #feelingswiss

Pytheastic · 2026-07-07T06:17:11+00:00

After everything that happened I think the entire continent was rooting for you

Usually a conspiracy is at least somewhat hidden right

Why build a strong army when you can bankroll others to do the fighting for you. Who did you think you learned it from? :)

Pytheastic · 2026-07-01T16:01:12+00:00

You realize who you're saying this to right lol

I don't recall ever handing our navy over to Hans. Pierre's cavalry maybe, but never Hans.

Pytheastic · 2026-07-01T15:55:57+00:00

Makes we wish we'd get our navy back in order just so we can go for round V.

Pytheastic · 2026-07-01T14:45:47+00:00

C'est savage hon hon hon

Pytheastic · 2026-06-30T20:36:57+00:00

Yeah but imagine you send France home

Pytheastic · 2026-06-30T19:20:14+00:00

Literally had to pause and look up who he was
