puck funs Ice Hockey World Championships winners Purple is 25 times or more. Nobody else has won more than 10 times except the Czech Republic. Politically loaded because of how Czechoslovakian wins are counted. Guavanaut fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Apr 2, 2016 |

Australia is completely wrong. Unification would be celebrated on January 1, the anniversary of federation. Instead our national day, Australia Day on January 26, marks the beginning of the invasion of Eora land and genocide of indigenous peoples by British settlers.

Phlegmish posted:The average goon gets withdrawal symptoms if he doesn't smirkingly type 'white people' at least once a day, even when it makes no sense. I fail to see what makes no sense about using "white people" to pithily describe the habit of three or four countries, all of which are majority-white and majority-English speaking, being the only countries to regurarly be split into sub-national divisions on world maps when so many other larger (both geographically and population-wise) countries which also have federal structures are rarely if ever.

If you are indignant about american-made maps for American readers having focus on America, start sourcing your maps from Indian websites, I presume it wouldn't a problem for you.

It makes no sense because subdivisions in other 'white' federal countries, such as the German Länder or Spanish autonomous communities, are virtually never shown on these maps either. The actual common denominator is the English language.

Sure, and that would make sense as a smug response if we were only talking about US-made maps and the only sub-national divisions on those maps were US states. But then why do US-made maps feature Australian and UK sub-national divisions, but not say Mexican? Why do Australian-made maps feature US and Canadian divisions, but not say Chinese? Why do even most Indian-made world maps feature divisions of the aforementioned countries, but not Indian ones? Why if not the cultural dominance of mostly-white nations?

At the very least three of these four statements are patently false as a general rule. As for the cases when it does happen, it's because people are lazy and download map templates from English wikipedia and other English sites that have US subdivisions baked in. Nobody in the non-English speaking world bothers with painting 50 American states with their local values.

vyelkin posted:Not really, looks like annual ridership on the London Underground is about 1.3 billion whereas annual ridership on the NYC subway is around 1.75 billion. There's a difference but not an overwhelming one. That's a little over 1.2 million fewer trips a day, that's a pretty big deal. There's also simply less people in easy use distance of the stops, because London's much less dense than NYC (Greater London and NYC proper are about the same population - 8.5 million - but Greater London's about double the land area).
