Surely all the states with anti-trans laws should be Gryffindor, since that's the house Rowling says she's in.

Bird in a Blender posted:Does anywhere outside of Chicago and NYC name their interstates? I guess there are things like the Ohio and Indiana Turnpikes, but I'm not sure if people actually use those names commonly. Chicago is lousy with this, preferring to use the names over the numbers. The main north/south interstate trunk through the city, I-90/I-94, is termed the Dan Ryan Expressway to the south, and the Kennedy Expressway to the north, and the news will just say "traffic on the Dan Ryan" and expect outsiders to know what they're talking about.

And people say the USA lost the Vietnam War! Vietnam has one of the most positive views of the USA of all countries, 84% of Vietnamese have a favorable view of the USA... higher than Israel and South Korea [e: different source than the above, I looked for one with more countries listed, https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-that-love-americans no idea if it's reliable]. Maybe in 25 years the Taliban will also suddenly turn Afghanistan into Switzerland? Saladman fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Aug 5, 2022 |

Basically for the US the Vietnam War was this terrible thing we know we did and a whole tragedy and a stain upon the soul of the nation, but for Vietnam, it was a tuesday. They had plenty of other wars before, after, and during the big war that the US was involved in, and the US happens to be the big country to go to for help against their most long-term enemy of China. I wonder if on an individual basis, whether Americans doing business in Vietnam also carry a deep cultural guilt that makes them easier for the Vietnamese to deal with.

The text of the books is long past relevant to what this unending hell franchise has become.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Dig east to west instead of north to south That map showing "Hufflepuff" as the plurality choice for any state is pretty indicative that it's just a joke map. Probably less than 1 in 50 Harry Potter fans can even name a single character's name who was in Hufflepuff. Slytherin and Gryffendor were the only two houses that had anything other than brief passing mentions in the book, and Ravenclaw had like, Harry Potter's girlfriend and that's it. It'd be like if you saw a poll for "people's favorite Game of Thrones character" that showed Alliser Thorne was more popular than any of the Starks or Lannisters.

Viet people generally could not give a poo poo if you're white-passing American, differences between north and south as always though. Hmong have a more favourable attitude towards Americans than generic white foreigners. If they can tell you're Chinese though you might get kicked out of a restaurant. In the past US administration there was a frightening amount of pro-Trump opinion, like making the republican party look sane by comparison.

I couldn't figure out what was going on in the north . Was it mining or something spilling over from Angola? It turns out that it's mostly hundreds of small farms surrounding walled compounds.

DJ_Mindboggler posted:I think this is it. This is heavily confounded by the variable "do I (reasonably or not) expect the police to be of assistance in any particular theft?" A country with a less corrupt/more effective police force will get more crimes reported. Cyprus anyway is like a giant small town, so for our champ there I don't think that's it. There's just way less petty crime for that reason. I think I only ever saw one homeless person there, family safety nets are strong and huge even when the government ones fail. They also rob tourists the conventional way.

Weembles posted:I couldn't figure out what was going on in the north . Was it mining or something spilling over from Angola? It turns out that it's mostly hundreds of small farms surrounding walled compounds. No, Namibia was like that well before. First off the whole country is a barely habitable desert except for the central area from Windhoek north, which a reasonably habitable tropical savannah prairie. There was a genocide by the Germans in the early 1900s of central Namibia of the Herrero people between Windhoek and Etosha. Also the Herero had genocided the native Bushmen in central Namibia in the early 1800s. So mostly genocides; by the civil war in Angola and SWAPO the population structure was already quite similar to present. Everything south of Windhoek and ALL of the coast about 200-300km deep all the way from Angola to South Africa ranges from 100% uninhabitable desert to 95% uninhabitable desert steppe (coast at Angolan border)
