The nations (maybe tribes) of North America.

The El Norte thing is accurate. In Tucson, people in Sonora are the neighbors, and the Southeast is "those weirdos waayyyyy the hell over there."

We've shifted from Yankeedom/Midlands to Greater Appalachia over the last few years.

I've noticed Appalachia has been creeping eastward, firmly into Lancaster County now, and I suspect Lebanon County too.

It's crept all the way to eastern New Mexico.

From the "As long as we're playing this intersectionality/victims game" dep't, a list of some ways men are worse off than women

Why the heck do we (especially the eastern 2/3) have so many counties?

No no, that shows men are better, we ain't hiding in no schools, we're out there kicking ass and living the high(and drunk) life, taking no shit except other people's when we think nobody's looking. ;)

The county government was much stronger than the state or even federal when all those counties were formed.

Not sure what's so awful about an arts degree.

I mean, unless you feel that society should be 100% utilitarian.

Arts degree? I didn't see that mentioned.

The two things we need most (so make sure the aren't coming by fedex) are air and water.

The chart isn't saying it's bad; the chart is saying that significantly fewer men take those courses/have those degrees than women. It's a counterargument to the standard "not enough women in STEM" numbers.

You can argue about the dirt in your yard instead...

Lots of people going to die when the San Andreas lets go.

Gallup 2020 poll of American self-described ideologies: The U.S. Remained Center-Right, Ideologically, in 2019

http://cellar.org/img/gallupideo2020.jpg

What's interesting about that is that I see polls saying this, but then I see companies like Chick-Fil-A having to walk back right wing views (in their case, public, loud donations to anti-LGBT organizations) because it was costing them too more customers than they were gaining.

Another example is Carl's Jr, which has lost 13% of its stock price since it came out that they were handing cash over to bigots. We already know about the Target bathroom thing and the Hobby Lobby ("back to the 1950s!") debacle.

So I am unsure which way to think. On one hand, the polls say one thing. On the other hand, the market says something else entirely.

That's because in respectable homes Mom is cooking supper so when Dad comes home from work, they can sit down with Jr and Sis to thank the Lord for a nutritious meal. Only those scallywag troublemakers are going to Chick-Fil-A or Carl's Jr. ;)

Because anti-LGBT isn't the defining issue of conservatism. I couldn't find a conservative/liberal poll on this so we will have to make due with Pew's survey which shows that, currently, 44% of Rs and 75% of Ds are for gay marriage.

This wildly pro-gay rights moderate eats Chick Fil A every other day. I am very aware of their giving and once I tried to edit the Wikipedia page on it to make it more accurate (and was immediately rolled back by an activist editor)

They have recently walked that back, so they're now on my menu.

However, that is not the only issue.

To clarify things, when you say center right, can you give me a few examples of which issues you feel center right about?

I say moderate. That is my political compass result, where I get a (0,-3)

Unsurprisingly, we have a thread for this.

Jump in Luce, the water's fine!

Server not found on the test.

But I know from seeing it before where I stand.

Somewhere around Abbie Hoffman.

So that was you?

Naw. My grandfather taught me to blend in.

"Look like every other outraged bystander, and you can get away with anything."

Good strategy.

He lived to be 99 years old, must have been doing something right.

Assuming a longer life isn't punishment. ;)

So he tried to raise you as a spy. Was his prototype Bond? Matt Helm? Or Maxwell Smart?

He was a labor organizer as a steelworker in the 20s.

Mine tried to organize farmers, I wonder how he'd feel about his anti-labor children...

Well, he did alright I reckon. Every farm I've ever seen has been in the country. First step in organizing anything is to get 'em all in one place...in this case, the country.

Well done.

lol Defining success!

Not all the news is bad...

Now those shithole countries can read what we're saying about them.

Attachment 69499

You have company.

Apologies for the likely repost. I searched in vain for my other posting of this
video.

Makes me wish we had a Chick-Fil-A here.

Electric vehicles...

Do those prices take into account state subsidies?

Seems like they must, I can't see another reason for that much variation but I guess the amount of, or lack of, competition may be at play.

When I see these charts, graphs or articles about total wealth of a country, I always wonder what it is? Add up the assessed value of all properties, total of every company's accounts receivable, and all the deposits in piggy banks? No, that can't be it.

In a week, we can watch the UK part just vanish.

The cost of incarceration...

Maybe the expensive states serve edible food and don’t have decrepit buildings, pay the guards better to get more professional people, etc.

You mean instead of contracting it out to for profit prisons?

I'm really surprised Massachusetts is so cheap. It destroys my theory about liberal places spending more on decent prisons.

This article notes that Massachusetts has a somewhat unique system where, independent from their main prisons, county sheriffs run "houses of correction" for anyone serving 2.5 years or less. It's possible those figures weren't included in their overall budget for this chart, or that it's just a cheaper way of doing things than, for example, putting small-time criminals in max security.

Some prisons/states may see more income from their slave labor than others.

Unbelievable number of folks behind bars... say, when El Cheeto's wall is done does the number go to 100k in 100k?

"100k in 100k" :confused:

100,000 Americans in prison per 100,000 in population.

Ah, thank you. :smack: Thankfully I'm at the point where I'm not ashamed to ask.

Who hates whom. Adding the word hate brings boredpanda the clicks.
Clickbait title for a tabulation of beefs on some guys instagram account.

I wonder how much of that is based on football rivalries?

I like how Florida is the only one that hates themselves.

Probably sports, or ticket happy cops, could be jealousy too. Maybe it's just where the mother-in-law lives.

While we're at it, those damn drivers from Jersey... :haha:

!3 cents of every dollar spent on retail sales is at a gas station. Of course gas stations are more like combination mini-mart/restaurant/convenience stores so not all of that is for gas.

Looks like New Jersey also hates themselves.

Can confirm. The south Jersey people hate the north Jersey people and vice versa :D

And middle Jersey wants nothing to do with the NYC wannabes up north, nor the Philly wannabes to the south. :haha:

Where are the Mormons?

Seems to me we discussed this before but I don't know where.
Oh well the newest spammers might be interested.

That map is wrong. Tagalog is not a predominant language in California. Spanish is. Throughout the south western US Spanish is the predominant second language.

Did you read the top line?

No I'm a bad pussy cat.

No, you're a stoned pussy cat. :haha:
