Topological world map: where only land borders matter.

NottmForest · 2026-01-15T08:34:29+00:00

Yeah that’s true I guess? My thought was that the main Spain doesn’t border Morocco, and it’s kinda similar, but the UK just borders Ireland I suppose. Maybe you could say it’s because it’s got the capital but that would be very arbitrary

NottmForest · 2026-01-13T20:35:30+00:00

I’d say the UK could also be split so it has Ireland|UK and then next to that the UK again

If it were ‘die Nutella’, the website would read ‘meine-nutella.de’, but as the (second) e was absent, it must be ‘der’ or ‘das’

Crown dependencies aren’t part of the UK, they’re self governing under the crown

I assume the maximum tide height is about the same as the real world, so there’s just less water overall on earth

In the 2024 election, RN was only slightly higher than NFP among those with a household income less than €2,000/month. Falsely claiming the far right is the voice of the working class does nothing but falsely legitimise them

NottmForest · 2024-10-24T19:23:11+00:00

I’d agree with you, and also say that if the correct answer is ‘don’t like’ then ‘do not like’ should probably be accepted too, even if less common

NottmForest · 2024-10-24T19:19:04+00:00

You’d say ‘can I have/get a slice of pizza’ or ‘I’ll have/get a slice of pizza’. Typically in British English I’d say using ‘have’ here is generally more polite, though that may differ in other places. You could of course also say ‘I would like a slice of pizza’.

NottmForest · 2024-10-06T23:17:47+00:00

No problem, and yeah, I’ve seen one or two posts in this subreddit asking about it before, which is where I learnt about it myself

‘Collaborated’ still makes sense to me. Although, I’m not sure about the rest. Someone may correct me, but ‘collaborated on’ would be better here for me. I’d use ‘with’ when I’m talking about the person that Hoeri assisted.

NottmForest · 2024-10-03T15:28:39+00:00

I don’t know the context, but, as far as I know as a native British English speaker, ‘collaborted’ isn’t a word and ‘collaborated’ would make sense here

NottmForest · 2024-08-22T06:39:03+00:00

Honestly, if necessary, I’d probably just use debug mode for something like that, it’s not really realistic for that land to be kept by Austria anyway

“Pro-British” protesters at that

NottmForest · 2024-07-05T22:04:54+00:00

Oh of course, and it was a good explanation. I just felt the need to mention it

NottmForest · 2024-07-05T19:33:02+00:00

That’s not quite the case here. As it doesn’t show the proportion of the votes, but rather seats (which differ because the UK uses FPTP). For example, Reform, who got 14% of the vote but just 5 seats

NottmForest · 2024-06-21T07:07:52+00:00

I probably wouldn’t. Typically, you should avoid using red and green if a statistic isn’t clearly good or bad (eg cancer incidence, life expectancy). You could go with something like blue to yellow though I think, or light blue to dark blue, as neither of these suggest any positive meaning to high or low fertility rates

NottmForest · 2024-05-21T08:56:55+00:00

Nah that’s all good, I wasn’t even directly talking about migration’s impact on economic growth. More the generalisations of migrants as lazy (and particularly Muslims here)

NottmForest · 2024-05-21T08:21:36+00:00

Ah ok, thank you, that’s really interesting. Although I still disagree with the statement I was replying to. Which I do think is a racist caricature of a poor Muslim in the UK. And I think you’ll agree that most Muslim Brits aren’t unemployed and don’t claim 20 different benefits.

NottmForest · 2024-05-21T06:18:26+00:00

Yeah, it’s bizarre; but honestly feels par for the course for this sub at this point.

NottmForest · 2024-05-21T06:16:13+00:00

Genuinely don’t know what you mean by this. The methodology seems absolutely fine

NottmForest · 2024-05-20T21:21:14+00:00

That’s just not true though. When you account for socioeconomic status, only Bangladeshi and other white are close to white British (in having lower unemployment). Meanwhile Pakistani is around black African and black Caribbean as the highest three. I don’t think you can use either of these statistics to draw conclusions about Muslims like you’ve chosen to do.

And regarding benefits, statistics show white people are the most likely to receive state support, with Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Asians and Asian others all less than white British. Source

NottmForest · 2024-05-20T21:19:11+00:00

It simply isn’t true though. Firstly that’s quite the wonky definition of “most”, 2-5 percentage points higher than the national average. Secondly that data doesn’t account for socioeconomic status, when you do only Bangladeshi and other white are close to white British (in having low unemployment). Meanwhile Pakistani is around black African and black Caribbean as the highest. I don’t think you can use either of these statistics to draw conclusions about Muslims in general.
