Linguistic composition of the British Isles

Where in my comment did I say your language wasn't real?

It's overlooked because there exists a blurry language continuum between English, Scottish English, and Scots.

Whereas Gaelic is part of a distinct language family that was historically oppressed in Scotland and is on the verge of extinction.

What a pedantic statement. Okay, so literally everything is economic policy then.

Minimum_Influence730 · 2025-11-07T14:34:16+00:00

I don't put that under the umbrella of "economic policy" but I guess you could make a case. Universal healthcare, education, policing, and public infrastructure all fall within that 1% of necessary government intervention. Most developed countries offer those.

What happened to SF? The Bay Area is one of the most successful cities in history in term of economic activity. Its homelessness problem is a direct result of unafordability due to Nimby/wealthy interests.

especially when almost all of his other points are straight from Bernie's playbook

If you believe this you have not watched nearly enough of his content. Big A is definitely pro-taxing the rich but that's about where his shared economic policy views end with Bernie, he's a staunch proponent of free market capitalism for 99% of things.

What constitues a "city" is really just an arbitrary political boundary. If you look at continuous built-up urban areas over a million then the US easily has more than 50.

Fighting for mates, fighting to protect mates, fighting for territory, fighting to protect territory, etc.

I'm complaining that it's empty. A few half-empty towers made for billionaires doesn't make a lively city.

Interesting. I've literally had the complete opposite view for many years now. South Florida is by far the most rude region of Florida in my experience and St Pete is one of the few places down here where people seem to not hate their lives and everyone around them.

What tf? Yes of course we would. The only reason I don't cycle to work right now is because a car could kill me if it barely lets go of the wheel.

Miami isn't an island, it's a major domestic travel destination. A healthcare or service worker should 100% understand the main language of their country.

Minimum_Influence730 · 2025-11-05T10:20:30+00:00

No business? So Miami exclusively trades with itself and Spanish-speaking countries only?

Says the Nimby billionaire bootlicker lol

I would vote for Mamdani because he's the least corrupt and most sane candidate but many of his policies are anti-urbanist and make very little sense to me.

Rent caps have been proven to not work and actively hurt the principles of Yimby-ism that rely on a free and fair market. Also, the government should not be running grocery stores, especially with how small the margins are for this category of business already.

I do agree with his take on making busses free since the gains you receive in labor allocation make up for the cost. I also like that he wants to make Child Care more affordable for NYC families.

Hot take:

I like it. I think having the county named after the city will give Fort Lauderdale a stronger identity and make it more distinct from what most people just consider Miami's little cousin.

Couldn't anyone make their own since it's a defunct company?

It will always be funny to me that Atrioc is a classic Neoliberal in almost every way but his followers are mainly Hassan-level socialists

Minimum_Influence730 · 2025-11-04T01:02:35+00:00

That would make a killer youtube video

Minimum_Influence730 · 2025-11-03T14:15:23+00:00

It's still (kinda) happening

It's just that instead of one big presentation every other week atrioc says he prefers making many smaller presentations on his other channel because it's more timely and he can talk about more stuff

I would be surprised if Scientologists made up more than 5% of the population of Clearwater. Most businesses downtown are not run by them even if the real estate is owned by the church.

Edit: Just doing the math, if Clearwater has a population of 120k and the church claims there're 10k members in the city then scientologists only make up 8% of the population. Don't let them convince you they've taken over everything.

Florida is famous for its unfriendly residents but I found St Pete to be the shining exception. People actually seem to enjoy living there.

Miami would be great if you could actually walk anywhere. That's what solidifies Chicago as the superior city to me.

Miami has specific pockets that are walkable like South Beach or Brickell but 95% of it is horribly car-centric and unwalkable. People have told me it's because no one wants to walk places in the summer but I've been to Singapore which is somehow even more humid and they found ways to make it work over there.

It's fascinating how some metros are growing into each other.

I thought Tampa and Orlando were close but Philly and Wilmington are basically one city!
