The first match is pretty much upon us, Thursday the 14th, so hopefully we can have a spot of fun together in the month to follow that. Group matches schedule, news, tables, etc - found here!

World Cup is beginning in...10 minutes! Are there any football fans here? Here are the groups & teams of World Cup '22: https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022 When I was a kid I always rooted for Brazil, and I also liked Croatia ever since they win the bronze at FIFA '98. I like some other Central/South American teams too. I don't follow football as much as I used to before but I still watch World Cup/Euros or some other bigger tournaments (no club football though). World Cup, here we go!

Okay, since these figure skating/Harry Potter-comparisons in the general chat escalated very quickly, I decided to save all these amazing and creative ideas in a seperate post! Can't believe what I've summoned myself there

This thread is dedicated to better figure skating photography and videography. There are threads for sharing photos or videos. This one, instead, focuses on sharing experiences and questions about creating figure skating images and videos, such as how to take good photos and videos during figure skating competitions and ice shows; recommended cameras, camera settings, and other equipments; workflows on transferring, organizing, or editing files; recommended software; etc. Edit: Please post photos and videos only when they are related to the experiences that are being discussed or questions you'd like to ask so that this space doesn't become a photo/video shari…

We have threads dedicated to lots of different entertainment but there's none opened about gaming and I was wondering who else appreciates computer/console gaming, and what are your games or genres of choice? I'm mostly a RPG kind of girl, both of the solo and MMO varieties. I have played a variety of both single player RPGS (many of which were Bioware games; Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, etc.) and lots of MMOs (Final Fantasy XIV, SWTOR, Guild Wars 2, The Secret World, among others). My current MMO of choice is Elder Scrolls Online, where I'm a casual level 45 Templar, and I've also been occasionally playing Torment: Tides of Numenera (I…

We seem to have a few Potterheads here so... let's talk about it: Your favourite book, movie, ship... AND WHICH HOUSE ARE YOU IN

Well do you read or no? Especially on wattpad. If yes I actually made one, it’s not really full romance since theres a lot of figure skating stories. I just started last week, and Im hoping for the people here to give it a chance and support me! https://my.w.tt/Ipavxpo431 https://my.w.tt/Ipavxpo431 I just found out that I want to be an author in the future, still studying right now, so itd help if you guys could tell me your opinions about it afterwards. Thankyou!

Hey guys! I just wanna share this video that I watched on YouTube made by this company called Big Ear. It's about starting hearing conservation for your kids. I was diagnosed with hyperacusis in my teens and just wanna help out others.

Hello, I am new to this forum community and very excited to get involved ! I am looking forward to contributing and learning from the community.

Hello everyone this is my first post here and I am not native speaker in English so I'm sorry for my mistakes in advance ^^ I'm a third year psychology student from Turkey and yesterday I got a mail from my school that I learned that I received an achievement/success scholarship (it is given to only 5 people each year.). When I found out this I started to cry because I had never been a successful student before this year. So I just thought about my school journey and I realised how Yuzuru's life story and his determination affected me. I was studying for university entrance exam when I first met with Yuzuru. At back time, I was so hopeless about myself because I d…

Hey! I'm wanting to buy my first teapot/kettle for my birthday but after looking up the different kinds I'm kinda lost. I want one that I can use on the stovetop and I was hoping to have one that didn't whistle I get headaches so that would not be a welcomed noise. At first I saw some Japanese ones that looked pretty cool but they are cast iron so it worried me that it might rust?? But all the others seem to whistle. Is there anything that would be good to look for in a teapot that I'm unaware of? I might be overthinking things 😁 Thank you in advance for your help!

So I was looking for a good matcha tea and discovered, that there is no real 'Japanese food' thread here, so I thought I would open one. What are your favorite Japanese dishes and snacks? Drinks? What would like to to try once? Mine are: - Sushi! (that's a given) LOOOOOOVE good sushi! - and I also like Okonomyaki - sometimes I enjoy taro mochi's, but it's very sweet so I can't eat much of it at once - and I have started drinking matcha tea pretty often, although sometimes I allow myself a glass of calpis then and now What I want to try some day: - Takoyaki - Some authentic chicken or salmon teriyak…

Good morning from Japan! ^_^ In addition to being a huge fan of Hanyu-senshu, I'm also very active in men's rhythmic gymnastics (男子新体操) fan community here. MRG started in Japan 70 years ago and fans of figure skating may also enjoy this beautiful sport! It is graceful, emotional and athletic, and the competition outfits gymnasts wear are very similar to men's figure skating (some are even custom made by Chacott). I'm trying to introduce more fans to the sport by writing several English-language newspaper articles about some of Japan's top gymnasts and teams. Videos from top MRG high school and college teams (Ibara HS, Aomori, Hanazono, Kokushikan)…

Well... study group is a stretch Since some people were asking, thread created! Share your tips, frustrations, achievements, favorite apps, stories... I'll start by saying that today was the mother's day festival from the japanese school and i was so sad when i had to take off the yukata

Anyone like watching them? I'm waiting to binge What's Wrong With Secretary Kim once it's done.

We've discovered recently there are quite a few LOTR nerds almost quoting Silmarillion over here - so let's get a place of our in the planet and talk about anything on Middle Earth - be it a book or film versions. So when did you start your journey through Middle Earth? And what captured you? Who do you identify with in the Tolkien's world? Do you like Peter Jackson's films? Etc etc etc - be free to discuss anything if you like!!!

A topic dedicated entirely to mascots characters. Whether they represent a company, an important event, a sports team... a very specific jail... everything is welcomed. Inspired by my recently discovered collection of Kumamon reaction pics and @liha and also my current ava. Go ahead and share your mascot collection, have fun, be a little silly, because in the end we just want to loosen up and collect reaction pictures of unintentional memes or at least I do, that's what 98% of my Kumamon folder consists of anyway.
