rickdg, in Legality of same sex relationship in Africa
@rickdg@lemmy.world avatar

hey islam how’s it going?

Omnificer,

There’s also significant input from American Evangelicals contributing to these laws. For instance, Scott Lively an evangelical anti-gay activist, helped push for Uganda to penalize same-sex relationships with the death penalty. And Islam only makes up 13.7% of Uganda.

I noticed a slight error in your map and fixed it up

deegeese,

Is Perth really that bad?

Aussiemandeus,
@Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone avatar

It’s just far away and almost never part of a bands Australian tour so can’t ge part of Australia.

Much like Darwin where I live in the middle north.

Perths major issue is crack heads though, the entire West Coast of Western Australia is full of remote Mine sites where uneducated people can make upwards of 200k a year working 6 to 9 months of the year, and during their time off a lot are hard into meth etc until they grlet caught lose their jobs and end up living in Kwinana.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Sweden and Denmark being yellow while the US is green is hilarious.

Yeah but sweeten and Denmark you might get killed by a terrorist.

America is the police and children with guns mostly shooting people so it’s “safe”

The_Che_Banana,

This makes me want to go chill in a Yurt in Mongolia…

Zipitydew,

lol I was expecting either New Zealand to be flipped to dangerous or removed.

I thought about changing it to be part of Australia too, but I don’t know how many people know of our plans to take over

In case you are wondering as well, parts of Europe are in yellow due to threat of terrorist attacks. BIH: landmines, Albania: limited healthcare, Kosovo, Moldova: conflict.

federalreverse,

parts of Europe are in yellow due to threat of terrorist attacks

But the US is green? I.e. no terror attacks or shootings ever occur there…?

protist,

Terror attacks are pretty rare in the US, though they’re also pretty rare in France and the UK.

terror attacks by foreign nationals are pretty rare in the US – domestic terrorism on the other hand …

EDIT: Are you feeling lucky, Aussie?

reksas, in Labour Day on 1st of May

i dont understand the reasoning of this map’s color code choices

Venator,

Maybe they were thinking: Red means stop (work), Green means go(to work).

Or maybe: red for communists, green for money 🤑

oh how I wish all these countries would be comunist!

Zagorath, in Labour Day on 1st of May
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

In Australia it varies by state. Only Queensland and the Northern Territory celebrate the early May Labour Day (and the NT calls it “May Day” rather than “Labour Day”). On the 1st of the month, but the first Monday in May.

I think other states have it at different times for a variety of reasons. Part of it is a deliberate effort to disempower the day from its international meaning. But it’s also about spreading out public holidays. After two public holidays for Easter in late March/early April and ANZAC Day on 25th April, Labour Day being the first week of May is a lot of public holidays in a very short time.

CanadaPlus, in Turkey's 2023 presidential election

Hmm, what’s the little island-type seat in the sea of yellow? Coastal makes sense, urban makes sense, Kurdish makes sense, but that one sticks out. There’s no major population center there as far as I can tell.

It’s where Kılıçdaroğlu is from

CanadaPlus,

Ah. That will do it. Even then, though, he must be locally very popular, given how completely the trend is reversed.

CanadaPlus, in HIV Incidence rate by Brazilian states

Poverty gonna poverty, unfortunately.

Car, in Turkey's 2023 presidential election

Neat map, awful color grading to my eyes

disguy_ovahea, in Home ownership in European countries (2022)

It’s interesting how this “European” map excludes Ukraine with its 93.3% home ownership, yet it includes Russia.

youRFate, in GDP per capita progress in South America

In case you wonder about Guyana: they discovered a lot of oil in the 2010s.

paskalivichi, in GDP per capita progress in South America

Tf happened to Venezuela?

deegeese,

Mildly communist government fucked their economy. Corruption ate the state oil company from within.

CanadaPlus,

And not even, like, smart communists. The kind that think printing more money to pay for stuff is no big deal.

asmodeus,

You’re implying there’s smart communists to begin with

CanadaPlus, (edited )

I mean, the USSR didn’t have hyperinflation until they were trying to redo the recipe at the end. “Money is real, and making more will help” is honestly a weird line of reasoning for people who hate “capitalism”.

Depending on how you define smart, sure, there’s been smart ones. At this point there’s an accumulation of evidence markets work better than the Soviet system of markets+random constant intervention, but that wasn’t always the case, and even now there’s people who are smart but have Ben Carson syndrome, and think because they’re good at their field they understand economics, and can quantify it’s limitations with no research.

By some people’s standards I’m a communist, too, since capitalism is poorly defined, and communism is often just defined as the opposite of it.

whereisk,

But MMT says I can (probably misrepresenting it severely, that’s what I’ve been given to understand by internet comments)

CanadaPlus,

MMT says you can get away with spending slightly more than you take in. The logic is that if you can print it you’re not going to run out, per se, and a small amount of inflation is thought to be good anyway. I’m not qualified to comment on how correct that is, but it’s true most countries accumulate debt over time, and nobody in finance cares until it’s multiple times the annual GDP.

If you’re straight up pretending that making more money gives you more stuff, your green paper is just going to lose the fight with reality. Places like Venezuala or Zimbabwe, instead of taking the hint early on, double down, and that’s how you get 100 trillion dollar bills after a while.

Lojcs, in GDP per capita progress in South America

Does 4-5x outpace inflation?

bobburger,

Per the map it's "GDP purchasing power per capita" which sounds inflation adjusted.

Recant, in Voting on a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict

This is for a vote conducted back in October. I wonder what a more recent one looks like and if there has been any change.
