What annoys me about this clip is that it creates a false dichotomy. Gall-Peters isn’t the only alternative to Mercator, and frankly it isn’t even an especially good one.
I’d say Kavrayskiy VII because 
, but since that’s not a realistic possibility, I’d settle for the similar Robinson or Winkel-Tripel.
That still makes it more progressive in a strictly materialist sense, since it creates conditions (urbanization, expansion of the proletariat, concentration of production) more conducive to socialist revolution.
That man has the strength of an adult and the emotional regulation of a toddler. Scary combination.
Chess is a simple game.

If it’s a choice between cats being able to lay under the sun and breathe fresh air pitted against the lives and freedom of birds and rodents, I’m sorry, I’m naturally selecting the cats all day. Little critters never stood a chance
Never expected to see this level of individualistic contempt for the commons on Hexbear.
Nothing says “edgelord” quite like thinking everyone should have food, shelter, and healthcare
My favorite posts about this are the ones saying her husband must have been the killer because he’s a Gemini
While we’re at it can we also make them not horrific parasites
To my understanding (and anyone reading this feel free to correct me if I’m wrong), the idea of Jews as a race that is genetically ontologically evil is a specifically Western brainworm that arose from eugenics and racial “science.” This is very different from the view of Judaism as a religious category which is how things tend to be in other parts of the world and even in earlier Europe (e.g. Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” is pretty blatantly antisemitic, but Shylock is spared on the condition that he convert to Christianity, which is very different from the Nazi policy of “you had one Jewish grandparent so there is no alternative but your death”). You can see how that would change the reading of “curse upon the Jews.” It’s not something I’d say myself, because as a white American, I’m not a victim of Israel and there’d be reasonable grounds to suspect me of using it in the skull-measuring sense. Very different context from a Palestinian or Iranian saying it.
Suckers and losers
Is this an antisemitism thing?
To try new and exciting stuff, you have to have it available in the first place. I like to joke about the four Midwest food groups being fat, grease, ketchup, and cheese, but that is legitimately to a large extent the culinary landscape of the rural parts of it, and all the towns are white as driven snow so there’s very little demand for anything else. There are so many kinds of foods I’m grateful to have discovered since moving to the city that simply did not exist anywhere near the small town where I grew up (hummus, longan, maamoul, sugarcane juice to name just a few). As a kid I hated it when certain ingredients were missing because it usually meant being subjected to such culinary wonders as unseasoned chicken patties on white bread and whatever potato chip crumbs were left in the bag. I don’t consider it a particularly enriching experience.
This is how a lot of historic locations got their names, funny enough. If you’re a hunter-gatherer tribe and you only have one river or whatever in travel distance, you’re probably just going to call it “the river” because it’s going to be obvious which one you’re talking about.
Zeno’s Korean War. Each outcome results in NATO annexing half of the remaining North Korea, and as a result they can never take all of it. Juche is eternal.
The sort of people who use the term “noticing” don’t care about any of that stuff and are referring to blaming Jews for things like black people in movies and LGBT people existing.
“If you can manage it” being the operative phrase.
