I noticed a very minor typo: the login button labeled "I'm already apart of the fediverse" should read "I'm already a part of the fediverse."
Otherwise it was great. The canvas size and cool-down period both felt right. The final artwork looks good. Thanks for putting on the event again!
For example, using absolute numbers from Wikipedia...
South Africa: 27,272
Haiti + Philippines + Ecuador: 28,509
That map would look very different.
You're right that using absolute numbers in the first place is bad practice.
The choice of regions feels cherry-picked to inflate the blue area on the map. Why else would they include Mongolia, or include only the least-dense regions of the US and Russia while excluding the major population centers?
While South Africa certainly has a lot of murders, both absolute and per capita, this map could easily be draw with a lot less blue on it.
Are you going to tell us the screenname?
"Everything will be better if we just feed a fifth of the population to the alligators!"
Absolutely insane.
I saw these in the wild, but couldn't get a pic without being a creep.
Yeah, know it's not a shirt. But someone else got away with the same thing two months ago, so I'm gonna take a chance. Mod, do what you feel is right in your heart.
I took yesterday off work to hit a new spot! It was hot, dry, rugged, and awesome.
Relevant quote from St. Basil:
"Who is the covetous man? One for whom plenty is not enough. Who is the defrauder? One who takes away what belongs to everyone. And are not you covetous, are you not a defrauder, when you keep for private use what you were given for distribution? When some one strips a man of his clothes we call him a thief. And one who might clothe the naked and does not—should not he be given the same name?
The bread in your hoard belongs to the hungry; the cloak in your wardrobe belongs to the naked; the shoes you let rot belong to the barefoot; the money in your vaults belongs to the destitute. All you might help and do not—to all these you are doing wrong"
Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I'm sure it's purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.
I really like the maps that also indicate population, like this dot density map:
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world is a meme god.
@PugJesus@lemmy.world keeps history alive and the Confederacy in check.
@anon6789@lemmy.world is our resident owl afficionado.
There are many others, of course, but I seem to notice these three a lot in my Subscribed feed.
Beware the myth of the self-made man.
TL;DR, the AG asked for a bench trial, Trump's defense team didn't respond, and so Trump gets a bench trial. It's possible that a jury trial would have been disallowed in this particular case under New York law, but the defense didn't even bother to ask.
Whelp, that's on your people, Donald. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Trump finally realized Putin has been playing him, with some not-so-subtle help from Melania. Trump did an abrupt about-face on Ukraine policy over the last few days and the US is going to start shipping them weapons again.
