@JohnDoejmke @ivanivanov_III They were, but much less than this map suggest(cause Protestantism causes literacy by default, without necessarily leading to prosperity), more similar to Poland and mainly due German settlers.

@TomSneddon14 @LancakePord @Sh1teMeister @punishedlex Kwantung army felt different about this. And then communists winning in China because of it.

@teortaxesTex There were like 10x comments like this on Musk's rockets.

@ORCHATERv2 @AxisBaron @ZoomerHistorian Moscow at worst is 70% white Russian, London is 35% white British and has been majority minority for more than a decade. Not talking about other cities when in Russia there is no similar demographic change in anywhere but Moscow.

@binarybits @MichaelTontchev Do you think that maybe these things that you describe(headcount, tech development(which directly cause the first), infrastructure) are kind of related to the intelligence? And ASI won't start from scratch, currently there are hundreds of billions of dollars thrown into capex.

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@binarybits @MichaelTontchev How do you think humans after evolving get from there to here if not through the intelligence?

@KeyTryer @osmarks1 If it wouldn't be negative than climate change doesn't matter at all and will be one of the myriad of quickly solved problems.

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@scooter_scoots @KeyTryer China will do it if necessary.

@afatswedishcat @chikodesalonika @underdejahvu Sweden didn't do it because it couldn't at that point(it did want to retake it in 19th century). Baltic states are completely protected by NATO and Russian threat to them in any realistic scenario is similar to Swedish threat to Finland.

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@afatswedishcat @chikodesalonika @underdejahvu What do you think is more likely to be used as casus belli: Russian population which in large part disenfranchised and is forbidden from education in their language or the same minority having normal EU minority rights?

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@afatswedishcat @chikodesalonika @underdejahvu Would you approve of Finland removing citizenship from all of it's Swedish citizens upon gaining independence and forcing them to learn Finnish and passing numerous tests to regain it? This policy will also include rescinding Aland islands autonomy status obviously.

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@KeyTryer Run into the symbol limit but I obviously meant catastrophic problems. Species extinctions aren't one of them, it exists now, existed previously and even worsened won't lead to unsolvable issues. Refugee migrants are in the same category.

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@KeyTryer Let's say that for some reason AIs dissappear tomorrow and the world has another couple of decades of 2010s, what's are the actual realistic problems that Americans or Europeans will run into because of climate change(taking into account proliferation of clean energy trends)?

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@akarlin Including Russia into the clients/allies section that will receive handouts is lowkey bullish.

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@RealJohnRose Your argument:
1)It's easy for people who grew up with Fahrenheit to understand it
2)????
3)That means that Fahrenheit is actually objectively better

It's literally the same for Europeans with Celsius and
-40 - +40 range is actually covering every climate instead of yours one.

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@DFinehart @akarlin From what we have of writings and current thoughts of German officials at the time, they wouldn't let Russia develop in peace up to 1925, in fact that was the worst scenario that they could imagine. They instigated the whole conflict in large part to preempt Russian rearmament.

@OptimusPri97731 @tracewoodgrains you just add them to your book list and when it's turn comes you already forgot the circumstances of it being there.

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

Примеры:
1) Локальные шутки(также есть у любого школьника про свою школу)
2) Акклиматизация(уехал в Тайланд и привык к жаре - теперь другой культуры)
3) 5 отличающихся слов, что меньшее различие в диалекте че�� между двумя районами в Лондоне

И это лучшие аргументы от регионалов..

[Ethan Tennenbaum @itan_tennenbaum]

Ребят, у меня для вас плохие новости, но люди, которые живут на расстоянии тысяч километров друг от друга - в одной ли или в разных странах - просто не могут быть культурно идентичными.

Простейший пример - я очень поверхностно понимаю московские мемы про Патрики и смотрю на вас, как на говно, когда вы жалуетесь на "холодно" в -10.

У нас - огромная страна, на территории которой живут и сибиряки, и поморы, и ком��, и саха, и уральцы, и алтайцы, и башкиры и еще множество других этносов и культурных групп.

То, что вы считаете, что все должны понимать и разделять московский взгляд на страну и её культуру, говорит плохо только о вас.

То, что вы думаете, что региональная культура - это какая-то "псевдокультура" - это следствие советской унификации и эта советская унификация за годы существования СССР нанесла огромный ущерб культурному разнообразию страны - и не в последнюю очередь культурному разнообразию русского народа.

@pepel_klaasa *or maybe guarding the carrots, don't remember.

[Centrist spectator @centristviewer]

@pepel_klaasa I'm sorry but I don't think that anybody who is not already on pro-ukraine and so anti-russian train would agree that having one moment in cartoon where a child plays at being a soldier(guarding the beehive so the border guard uniform) is somehow insidious Russian propaganda.
