OctaviusBeaver posted:Well it makes sense. If I thought Ukraine was in Iowa I would definitely think that the US should be more forcefully opposed to it being annexed by Russia. I remember reading about Georgians (US) who were afraid of invading Russians in 2008. Shouldn't all of them just be Ukraine? the jizz taxi posted:Internet Swedes are among the smuggest and most chauvinist people ever. To some extent, Internet Scandinavians can be all a little smug, but Swedes are generally the worst. Agreed. Scandinavians are scrubs  .

How are these districts divided? Do they each have similar population, or is it similar to American states?

The GRCs (Group Representation Constituencies) have four to six seats elected on the same slate, while the SMCs (Single Member Constituencies) have one seat each. The final tally of seats was People's Action Party 81, Worker's Party 6; this was the most seats that the opposition has ever held.

Comcast continues it reign of terror. But don't worry, it CLEARLY won't be a monopoly because of all the places that can also get service from competitors like AT&T U-Verse:  Edit: If you can stomach it, here's some more crap from Comcast on why it's a good thing if they merge with TWC. quote:The traditional boundaries between media, communications, and technology are obsolete. The competitive ecosystem in which we operate includes companies with national and even global– scale like AT&T, Verizon, DirecTV, DISH, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Yahoo, Google, and Facebook – who are competing with each other and us in unprecedented ways. As the graphs below demonstrate, many of these companies are far larger than our combined company would be in market capitalization, annual revenues, and/or customers. Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Yahoo, and Facebook? Did I miss some big tech announcement that these people are now providing internet service? I know that Netfliz, Amazon, and Apple can all provide content, but you still need to get internet from somebody to use the content.

My favorite things about that map is how turks are just slightly more diverse greeks (which would make sense as most turks today are descendants of anatolians who converted to islam) and how Austria is way more similar to Hungary, Czechia or Romania than to Germany (which also makes sense historically I guess, but it's still funny; superior germanic peoples my rear end  )

The fact that there are separate cable providers is an error. Really, Comcast and Time Warner are pretty much local monopolies wherever they are anyways. Cities generally don't like having multiple folks digging around to put in lines. This just makes one larger monopoly which while pretty bad doesn't really impact things that much.
