1890s Scenes of Meiji Japan

This is my favorite.

pedo before pedo was a thing?

What?

I realize it's probably a daughter and a sibling...but TIJ so it could just as well be a child-wife with child?

[wagyl]

Yes that is why there is the caption in English "Young Nurse."

I was going to draw attention to youthful marriage in other cultures, but I see that the Navajo nation now requires those applying for a marriage licence to be over 18 (and also to be one male and one female). Plural marriage is expressly prohibited, notwithstanding previous custom.

There is of course the calculations in the Bible which lead you to realise that Isaac married Rebecca when she was three years old, but then again ages are unreliable in the Bible. It does however go part of the way to explain why Esau and Jacob were not born until twenty years after the marriage.

Didn't have the window maximized and totally missed that

Navajo/Apache didn't allow marriage until they had hit puberty. Still pedo by modern standards but not the level we're used to seeing here. Both cultures also went from monogamous marriage to polygamy out of basic necessity, it wasn't a preexisting part of the culture. Basically, when you're warring non-stop, lots of men die....leaving you with both a declining population and large group of unwed women situation. Polygamy was the answer....but seeing as both are matriarchal societies in many respect, that must have been loads of fun.

that gaijin fellow must have been persistently stared at by some j-elder and then moved into such a subtle passive aggressive act for the revenge on the internet.

Those are hideous, but at least they're not celebrating the military-industrial complex and the Glory of Permanent Warfare

Do they have a sponsor from Scotland or so?

Weird that only the Satake guy has a red left arm.

Chibaka,
A classic find. Not a flippin' clue, btw.

Indeed. The exclamation mark is a masterstoke

[kurogane]

Wow. The real answer is far scarier than the idea that was pure Janglish gibberish. Sort of sad, really.

[Russell]

Thanks for clearing that up Mike, but I have the feeling that it would have been better kept a mystery.

And that was after watching only 2 minutes of it.

[Mike Oxlong]

For some reason a lot of the guys associated with the US military down here are into that sort of thing. I have a feeling it's probably not so different around Yokosuka.

[wagyl]

Kasukabe number plate Honda drivers are ..... a unique cultural grouping. In Chibaka's home country they might be called chavs.

And that was after watching only 2 minutes of it.

Hats off to you for lasting 2 minutes. Shit like that makes me think retroactive eugenics might not be a bad idea.

How can I explain to wifie that the Janglish gibberish actually originated in an English speaking country?

[kurogane]

Feck me, man. That's a conundrum, to be sure. I would quibble that it's not really all that much of an English speaking country for a lot of them (and I don't mean the non-English speakers), or just throw myself on the mercy of the court.

Yes to that, but which part is the Pushme and which the Pullyou? Do dumb skate jocks join the military, or are dumb military recruits fascinated by dumb skate jockery?

According to my buddy who was in the army the combat units are mostly made of of suburban white boy adrenaline junkies so I think it's the former.

some j-fellows park their car or bicycle just next to a parked ones, despite that there are lots of spaces left.
