I don't know the languages well enough to know if that's all in Catalan or Occitan.

Nordics? And Baltics, the known oppressers of the majority of their citizens? I have a hunch that this map might be just a little biased.

Might have something to do with national holidays? Also, I know that in Norway, if your parents were part of the Norwegian church, you're automatically part of it as well until you withdraw from it. I'm not sure if something like that would count against. Edit: Was there any report accompanying that map, I'd be very interested in reading the criteria.

Here is a link to the report. Apparently, Germany is a fundamentalist hellhole because a professor for islamic studies had his chair renamed after converting away from islam some years ago. Maybe humanist and atheist utopia Sierra Leone will give the poor guy asylum. Reverse GIS gives "alligator distribution map" as a best guess for the map. Might as well be.

Okay, looking at the report, the scale seems to actually be a "freedom of thought" index, not an indication of discrimination against atheists. Even so, some of the assignments don't make sense. Germany and Oman in the same category?

Also, Netherlands being Green is funny, because we only scrapped our law against blasphemy in 2013.

QuoProQuid posted:Gee, I wonder what happened in 1997 that caused Ellen to become so unpopular! Wikipedia posted:Following "The Puppy Episode", Ellen was renewed for another season. ABC prefaced each episode of season five with a parental advisory warning. DeGeneres strongly criticized ABC for including the warnings, saying in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, "It was like this voice like you're entering some kind of radiation center. It was very offensive, and you don't think that's going to affect ratings?"  Seriously? I knew there was controversy, but a loving parental advisory warning before the show? Well, Ellen's name may not have recovered, but she seems to be doing well otherwise: (This chart may be a little bit out of date.) fade5 fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Dec 10, 2014 |

For context, consider that 1997 was the first year that a majority of Americans approved of mixed race marriages. Also in 1997, 33% of the country approved of gay marriage, and less than 40% approved of people being gay, period.

In all honesty it was already on its way down, Ellen's popularity was just enough to get it to spike back up in an unnatural way for a few years. It's very much an old lady name.

Makes sense to me, when I was a kid in Michigan we spent almost a week with no electricity in February and these days I'm sure as gently caress thankful for it, even if I live in a place now where it doesn't really get cold.

When I was a kid in Michigan, losing power was a pretty regular thing after any major storm, and I always really liked it. Lots of above ground lines, so one tree going down would be all it took.  It was funny when that blackout hit in 2003, though, because while it was just another power outage for us, it sounded like the end of the world for half the northeast.

In the summer (I think the 2003 thing was in the summer, I was overseas at the time) it's not such a big deal, although we lived way out in the country near Mt. Pleasant so if we lost electricity we lost our water too. In February it's really cold if you can't turn on the heater and your house has lovely insulation.
