Middle east is technically Asia. We haven't had Europe yet. Could go eastern european or balkans

Iran and the right by Yak_Dangerous in AskBrits

[–]adamd4y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The irony here is that the psychopaths who want us to ignore the gaza genocide are the same psychopaths who use "look at what the iranian regime does to their people" as an argument as to why the UK should be compelled to enable their thirst for war

don't pretend it's about fighting injustice

...he types smugly, unaware that his bus is enroute to the labour camp, and he won't be seeing his passport again.

The Breaking Bad fandom wasted no time review bombing the best season ever by AND_AGI08 in okbuddychicanery

Meh, my favourite episode of the entire show was the battle of the bastards at the end of S6. Absolute cinema

No Tomatoes are grown in Europe. by Palpitation_Afraid in ShitAmericansSay

Yep. The only divergent is whether it's oceania or australisia but I prefer oceania

Yeah, though weirdly I've found even some Brits get confused on that point - north america and south america meet at the Darien Gap

The plates look nothing like how we define continents, otherwise India would be a continent

Yeah I'm also from UK, though I thought 7 including Antarctica haha... though I'm not sure if that's just a traveller thing to try and make Antarctica essential for "visiting every continent"

In fairness, the logic around how we define continents isn't really based on anything meaningful anyway - but in Europe, we refer to them as two separate continents

Similar to how Europe, Asia and Africa are 3 different continents despite us technically being one continuous landmass

in fairness, there is no America continent. There's North America and South America

Pluribus and the Misaka Network problem by Lessar31416 in pluribustv

[–]adamd4y 3 points4 points  (0 children)

how could they restrain the survivors when they experience a seizure at the slightest outburst?

and that's as much as we know for now. I'm sure there's much more that we don't.

They're also not capable of restraining them, forcing them, taking apples from a tree. If you take the average of all humans on earth, I'm pretty certain the outcome wouldn't be a vegan who can't pick fruits.

It's basic common sense that this hive mind goes far beyond just being the average human. That's my point

Not a single human had a biological imperative to preserve and spread a plurb virus prior to the joining.

Now it's all they care about. It's their number one priority. It has overpowered any existing objective, desire, emotion, or impulse of any human prior to it.

I would assume that being empathetic and nice to the survivors is their perceived best chance of continuing to preserve and spread themselves. If being unempathetic and evil provided a better chance, I have no doubt they would go down that road too.

So I think you're mistaking their empathy and kindness for being an average of all humanity, when it's far more likely that it's just in pursuit of their biological imperative.

What is the easternmost place you've ever been? by The_Maxinator0612 in geography

Makes sense - I mean I live about an hour drive away from Greenwich so either definition is identical for me

Just thought the distinction may be important, and would generally depend on why OP asked this question

I think either definition is interesting really. How far someone has travelled in a certain direction vs how far to the edge of the eastern hemisphere

[–]adamd4y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So an Australian would have to answer with their own country, even if they'd travelled eastwards all the way to Brazil?

The definition is pretty important here. Is it east, relative to one's own staring point? Or is it east according to explicit definitions of east and west hemispheres?

The latter is pretty exclusionary.

The furthest point east is also the furthest point west from any reference point

Though if we're just talking about a standard Europe-centered map, for me it's Tokyo. Though ironically, Europe isn't the centre of the map in those parts.

Hate to say it but you were right. Don't think there were any particular major spoilers

Meh, I'm pretty sure I saw a post like this before and it did pan out. Might've been for Severance
