I find it weird that the map omits Japan, considering that's where emojis originated in the first place.

majormonotone posted:Here's a dumb map "Some people speak German in Switzerland and Belgium, let's colour it completely German!" Also have this: Greater Belgium!  For those unsure about what this map is trying to say: - Top-left: the old Duchy of Flanders with the bits regained taken away by the French in the late 18th century. Curiously doesn't include the bit of Flanders up north that is currently part of Zeeland. - Bottom-left: Duchy of Hainaut along with territories that originally belonged to the Seventeen Provinces when they seceded from the Spanish Empire. - Centre: Namur - Bottom-right: the entirety of Luxembourg, both the current Belgian province of that name as well as the independent Grand Duchy. - Center-right: Liège - Top-right: Limburg, including the bit of Dutch Limburg that originally seceded from the Netherlands along with the rest of Belgium in 1830, but wasn't included in the 1839 Treaty of London. - Top-centre: all of the former Duchy of Brabant. - Centre-centre: Brussels

He mingled with slumdog people in Brazil, kissed lepers, met the Roma leaders; but it's up to the Americans to pretend that there are no underprivileged people, obviously. Hopefully he'll follow his usual pattern of abandoning planned routes to visit the poorest parts of the visited region.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:I just post the maps, bud. Really nice view of white flight, though. It's not though, Philadelphia is already in full-scale reverse white flight with many of the inner ring suburbs being minority-majority or nearly so. And many of the darker red towns out there are too far out to be suburbs really, they're where people with real money have 10 acre estates instead of half acre McMansions.

The stars are American bases around Iran, though if I remember right a lot of those aren't actually bases. The caption is asking how Iran is threatening the US if the US is surrounding Iran with its military. E: To expand if this is the same image I remember, it's disingenuous because some of the stars aren't bases at all, and the majority of them are military bases of the country they're in. But since the country is a US ally, the US military has access rights to the base under certain circumstances. It's not like there's a bunch of B-52s parked there permanently though.

Peanut President posted:Red American allies, blue "bad guys", purple "who gives a gently caress" I think the point of the map is that the red are the bad guys. It's evocative of (and possibly inspired by) this image which circulates a lot among pro-Russian circles.

Jerry Cotton posted:Huh - what happened to Opel? Compared to Skoda Opel cars are often more expensive spec for spec and heavier, so engine of comparable power in Astra and Octavia make Octavia 1-2 seconds faster 0 to 100 km/h. Opel cocpit is also pretty dated compared to European rivals. Also higher tier Opel cars are either fugly by European standard (Antara), horribly unreliable and cramped (Insignia) or expensive for what they offer (Zafira). Astra and Corsa are ok, they just need a cocpit that doesn't look so dated. I've got a soft spot for Opel, since it was the first car I've owned and I've driven one as a company car for a couple of years, so I wish them all the best. Yet if it were my money... I'd buy Kia, gently caress Skoda.
