I mean, that type of map is not made to be geographically accurate at all, that's not the point. The point is to visually show the real weight of each party and region in the parliament, which is very warped in a normal map in favor of the territorially larger constituencies. I like it.

fishmech posted:This is a map on how left and right hand drive has changed since about the 1850s: This map is deceiving in the caseof Brazil: Originally there was no countrywide regulation about which side of the road you had to drive on. This meant that each state could choose on it's own, and multiple states had LHT while others had RHT. This only changed in 1928 when a presidential decree finally centralized traffic laws. So while it's technically correct to say we always had RHT, it was really only in some parts of the country. Frionnel fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Jul 22, 2017 |

Saladman posted:Everything I see is more or less accurate? Like edges are rounded and tapered more and don't represent the exact boundary, but literally every country in the entire world is drawn like that so it's internally consistent. I don't think it's meant to be a map so precise that you could set national borders based on it. I think people's eyes are just drawn to it as an error because all the "straight line" divisions look fine, and straight line division provinces tend to be the biggest ones in the world thanks to US/Canada/Australia/Sahara/Greenland. If you zoom in really far, you'll notice the borders in Europe are just as wonky as the ones in DRC and China. I don't know enough about SVGs to know if there is some technical reason (e.g. hard to open a map if it has 1000000000 anchor points for every border precisely drawn) or if it was just done for the sake of time and simplicity. Yeah it's that. It's very obvious in the countries i cited because they have huge internal admnistrative regions with very little straight borders. Still, it looks odd to me, why not have the same level of precision across the board?

I'm brazilian and yes, keeping shoes on around the house is absolutely the rule. A smaller (much smaller, thankfully) number of people will also lie down in bed or in the couch wearing shoes, but that's crossing a line for most. Interestingly enough, taking your shoes off when entering your/someone else's house is deeply associated with the japanese, probably because japanese immigrants introduced it here. I was surprised that the rule is taking your shoes off in so many other countries. Maybe one day we'll see the light. The bonus bit in that map is blue Antarctica. Shame on all those scientists not removing their snow boots. Frionnel fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Mar 4, 2020 |

Phlegmish posted:My criticism is more of vegans who religiously avoid any and all animal-related products regardless of context or circumstances. Going back to this for a bit, the explanation is simple. It's much easier to draw a line for yourself and say "i will never consume dairy and eggs again" than try to judge the amount of animal cruelty in every meal on a case by case basis. And in the current world we live in, most dairy and eggs come from horrific industrial farming anyway, so cruelty is the safe assumption.

It's a vague term that is used differently in each place. For example i live in Brazil and Latin America and Eastern Europe are always included in the definition of Western, and i'm aware they are usually excluded in english but it feels weird. Those maps excluding Greece from their definition of western civilization is hilarious through. Frionnel fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Apr 13, 2021 |

It's definitely inspired by EU4, and adopted some of it's conventions (The date, the country colors, depicting french vassals as separate polities), but it's probably not for a EU4 mod. Probably just someone trying to make a detailed map of EU4's start date.

Saladman posted:Yeah, I do get that -- I just still don't get at all how it works when it is has rained outside and the person is coming into your house. If the ground is bone-dry then a brief scrub on the welcome mat would be fine, but if the ground is damp then ?? you'll have gross shoeprints everywhere, regardless of how well you supposedly scrub the welcome mat (which I'm sure is itself cleaned approximately once every never years). North Africa is still all "use your socks, or sometimes switch to slippers when entering" and it basically doesn't rain there for 8 months of the year. No, that's it, your scrub real hard on the welcome mat and hope for the best, unfortunately. Trying to make my home shoes off has been an uphill battle, and the flu thing is a widespread belief too, at least in Brazil. I had pneumonia as a kid and the doctor told me and my parents that my then habit of walking barefoot on the floor tiles at home was a contributing factor. Since then i've had sandals to wear exclusively inside. Frionnel fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Dec 10, 2023 |

It's a thing only other americans (as in from the continent) care about, and even then really just latin americans, and even then really just leftists. Personally i use "estadounidenses" in portuguese and "US people" in english, but most people in Brazil say americanos.
