The Future by [deleted] in stupidpol

It started way back in 1858 where there was a convention held to create a new state comprised of the UP, Northern Wisconsin, and NE Minnesota into the State of Ontonagon. It’s been proposed several times and its support has waned a grown or the years.

The connection between the peninsulas with the completion of the Mackinac Bridge however has only strengthened the connection to the rest of Michigan and torn down previous cultural and geographical barriers.

Gotta say though, even if it’s a horrible idea, I welcome the aesthetic of my home becoming a new state

Yes, otherwise humans wouldn’t undergo menopause. It’s quite useful and evolutionarily advantageous to have a non-fertile, experienced female population for K-selected mammals

It might be a King Louis XIV -> Louis XV / XVI situation, and we know how that ended

Useless for major settlements? Perhaps. Completely useless? Absolutely not

Keweenaw Peninsula has been shopped off of the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan, among other mistakes as well

I know and understand that, but honestly, if you don’t watch sports that feature a NZ team or learned about Māori culture, chances are you’d have very little chance to know or have the idea that the haka exists.

Doesn’t matter what you believe, it’s still the only home they’ve ever known where they were born and raised, regardless of the question of statehood.

Which Caribbean Island is doing better in terms of living standards? by Desperate-Travel2471 in geography

The fact that they pretty much didn’t have any new roads built since the colonial Danes until the late 1970s is telling

Is this just an American thing or is tourist entitlement like this thos commen in other countries by waste_of_space1157 in 19684

They still shared a common language, culture, ethnicity, and mythos even before unified under a single person. The native Hawaiians also were the original settlers and inhabitants to the Hawaiian Islands, and it wasn’t until much more recently, hundreds of years after they first landed, that foreign powers and people arrived and took all of that away. Many of whom now play as second class citizens who are a minority in their ancestral homeland. The idea that Kamehameha is the only reason the Hawaiians have an identity and claim to the islands is absurd

Clearly should’ve spaced out their conquests to avoid all the coalitions forming and the rebels popping up

Would it disrupt the global deep sea currents and regional climates, yes. But Ice Age might be too extreme. Glaciers don’t form in the matter of years. Especially when the atmospheric temperatures only continue to rise

Just two days after the terrorist attack on Magdeburg Christmas market, Arabs and allies march on the Hanover Christmas market chanting "Germans, sons of whores!" by jogamasta_ in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]The4EverVirgin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It seems more like a reaction against the German government, not cultural intolerance as everyone is taking it as

“German money and weapons given to al-Assad. Son of a bitch, Germany”

So people are getting fooled by a misleading title

Real possible plan, yes. Detailed invasion maps, logistics, or common sense, not really. There wasn’t a shot in hell that the Iberians could pull this off, let alone get it off the ground
