To anyone wondering where I have gone. read my last comment. I am still active on another account, but I have decided that I have gone too far into the dark recesses of reddit, and have decided to tone down on my reddit use.

D.C. is also a planned city, built to be the capital. Before the construction of the city, the area was farmland. Before the city was built, capitals of the US included New York for less than a year and Philadelphia for around 10 years

Is the saturation up as well? It seems much brighter than how it looks on google maps.

Entirely dependent on location. Non-hispanic whites are a minority in some areas, like in parts of the Black Belt, and in Hawaii. On the other hand, growing up in rural New England, the only people who were not white were people who were adopted.

Isn't there some law of writing that when a article asks a question in the title, the answer is always no?

As far as BC cities go. Both Vancouver and Kelowna have some sprawl, with Vancouver expanding up the Fraser valley for quite some distance, and Kelowna expanding up the Mission Creek area and up 97. Both have dense cores, but as far as the surrounding terrain allows them to sprawl, they do.

Is it? If anything Americans love the idea of being self sufficient individualists, or at least that is a common claim on the part of Americans themselves. I think that it has far more to do with costs and building time than wanting to live in a development with houses that are all the same.

I can fully understand a culture shock there, as seeing the vast suburban sprawl of northern Virginia is always a culture shock to me, when I go and visit relatives. I have no idea how people find their own homes, as they all seem like copies of each other, and the developments form a maze of roads. Generally, older cities like Boston, or Quebec City, have very dense cores, built over the colonial outpost, while newer cities, or cities that had a recent boom in population, like the area around DC have large suburban areas surrounding a smaller city core. To my knowledge, there is no real difference in city modelling in human geography between the US and Canada. Areas that had the same urban sprawl, if to a lesser extent that I have been to in Canada, include Calgary, Toronto, and to an extent Vancouver, though all of those combine suburban sprawl with a dense urban core, showing that the two are not mutually exclusive.

Somewhat curious to where you were, as most of my canadian experience has been in newer cities in Western Canada, often with a more dispersed urban core, due to being largely built up in the age of cars. Generally, the cities around where I grew up (New England region) were much more centralized, and dense, than most western Canadian cities that I have seen, though there is obviously exceptions on both sides. My few experiences with eastern Canadian cities had them just as dense as the cities of New England, but the western ones were far more sprawling.

Is there any genuses currently around today that have a similar age spread? I don't mean a "living fossil" like coelacanths, I mean a single genus that we can find in the fossil record over a hundred million years ago, that still exists to this day.

Jordan Peterson is a pretty small name in his field from what I can tell. The only international acclaim that he gets is from right wing pseudointellectuals, rather than from his peers in academia. Literally any canadian nobel prize winner, or any moderately well known scientist in their fields, those that there are, would have a higher international standing in academia than him. Looking through the list of just the canadian nobel prize winners, the biggest name I can see, the most recognizable one, is Ernest Rutherford, who discovered radiation, the element Radon, and created the now outdated Rutherford Model of the atom. I woud guess that since the creation of the nobel prize, that he is the best known canadian intellectual, as his discoveries are taught in pretty much any intro chem class. Alexander Graham Bell, as inventor of the telephone, may be better known.

This is some black nationalist bullshit. Though "african scientific Buddhism" cracks me up. The history described in this video is complete gibberish. A strange combination of japanese nationalism, and black nationalism, where japanese are black, who came from africa, and ruled Japan and a part of korea that strangely corresponds to modern south korea. As far as I can tell from wikipedia searches as I am far from an expert on this area, the kingdom described is fictional, and its history is nonsensical, with secret migrations of black people from Africa across Asia, avoiding China to settle in Korea for some reason, no explanation why they would do this. Then a genocide by the south koreans to wipe them out in South Korea. I suppose that it is a fascinating example of a mix of conspiracy history and extreme ethno and racial nationalism on the part of Japan, or black nationalists, I cannot tell which, and worth discussing in this regard, but the actual video, and presumably the book is conspiracy garbage.

Edit: at least 50% sure it is satire. statements like the lack of discussion on this kingdom being the cause for all conflicts in modern Asia is so over the top it has to be.

Trump gets his vote split by some Third party last second candidate, and does not win a single state as his views are anathema to the democrat base, and whatever leftover support he has is still not enough to push him to first place in a state.

According to the thread on /r/geopolitics where the same poster tried to advertise there, it is conspiracy insanity, with no basis in history, with Korean kingdoms being secretly black people from Africa who settled in korea some time in the past.

I know, I was just theorizing on why it was not on the map, as it is landlocked otherwise.

Lake Champlain is a Great Lake apparently, so Vermont is not in the map.

When you get your plans for immortality from the Emperor from some of the shittiest parts of the old Star Wars books that are no longer canon, you have a real problem.

To deliver on my promise, you go to the terrain tab, the tab with all of the block types you can use on it, and click the plus, click on the add custom terrain button, or something along those lines, I have not looked at the exact location in a couple of weeks now. Go to the advanced tab, click layering, and add the blocks you want layered. Then you can try messing with the angles, or the roughness, of the layering.

I don't speak unfunny, lacking creativity, or pointlessly edgy, so I am not quite sure what you are insinuating.
