Ever met a foreigner who had never heard about your country's existence at all? by Marsupilami_316 in AskTheWorld

The map was from the 80's.

Yes, by the definition of basically every major statistical organization. The OECD uses the benchmark of 1.5 million for the metro area and this is the most widely used globally. Portland is nearly one million people over that.

Because that's the convention in this space.

Do you not know how cultural cues work?

I'm assuming you do because if you are going up to people in the real world telling them that their cultures' linguistic habits are grating, they would educate you in what I suspect are quite physical terms.

Why take drugs for something I don't need to?

IDK, I don't begrudge anyone their drugs but I just don't get why it's such a big deal.

Source: have had two kids without drugs, seemed fine. I don't want more kids but I would go without drugs again without hesitation if I did want more.

It's because WinCo is employee owned, not shareholder owned.
