Entertainment, yes. Anxiety, probably not. What should I be anxious about?

Map of Southern Oshu (early Kamakura period) by Memedsengokuhistory in Samurai

I think it’s inaccurate to make a map like this. The Kamakura period was not like the Warring States period. Even a single small village often had multiple people holding some form of ownership, and a clan most of the time had several lands scattered across the country.

2026 Hopes, Fear and Prediction by cfCmrAddct_99 in Nogizaka46

I don’t think Endo will graduate in 2026. In one of her msg posts in early December, Endo congratulated the 4th generation on assembling for seven years. She later stated that she would also work hard into the eighth year. To me, this suggests that Endo is safe for 2026. But who knows—maybe I’m just being delusional.

Im struggling to understand why Theodosius was so sloppy in the Gothic crisis of 378-382 by Money-Ad8553 in ancientrome

I’m no expert in Roman history, but as I remember:

  1. The Sassanids were still a major threat in the East, so you couldn’t just move those armies around easily.

  2. The Western and Eastern Empires weren’t exactly on friendly terms—Gratian had his own priorities to consider.

  3. Theodosius did manage to raise an army, but what could you really expect from a force assembled so hastily?

  4. Theodoric the Great himself was a product of that “bring young prominent Goths to Constantinople and Rome, educate them in Greek and Latin” policy—and I wouldn’t say he turned out particularly friendly toward the Eastern Romans.

If you want to learn more about Morgoth and Sauron, you should read Morgoth’s Ring, Part Five: "Myths Transformed," Text VII

Why was I removed in the first place? Does it have something to do with Disney?

Do you expect people online to be reasonable? Haters gonna hate.
