A = straight man who performs in drag shows, interested in B B = straight woman, interested in C C = straight man who doesn’t know what a drag queen is and thinks they’re women (a genderswapped Mulan situation), interested in A’s drag persona

I have no idea if this is what python actually meant by “a Mulan situation” but now this feels like I’m trying to solve a sudoku or something

The dude went to a drag queen show without understanding what the whole concept was

Eckert IV is mine, which is quite similar visually. It has the upside of being equal-area, but the downside of squashing the poles a bit more. Sadly both of us suffer the injustice of being excluded from that one xkcd comic

This is 100% amateur guesswork, but maybe the geography is part of the answer here? Norway is a bunch of extremely jagged coastline opening on to the fairly cold and empty North Sea, and most of the rest of it is equally jagged mountains, so it was probably easy for communities to be relatively isolated most of the time and therefore wind up speaking a little differently to the guys in the next fjord over. The Maghreb, on the other hand, is right on the Mediterranean, which has been one of humanity’s busiest and most travelled areas for thousands of years

OP has actually posted an update that (indirectly) explains it! https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/f2a9b56e-f915-4932-a35a-d4c3a6e472c9.webp

The equator is actually the less-salty bit in between the two high-salt bands. You’ll see the note that says that the less saline areas around the equator are the tropical latitudes that get a lot of rainfall. Because the equator is the most consistently-warm latitude, a lot of water evaporates there and is carried upwards, then falls back down as rain. That air can’t keep going up forever though, so it spills out to the north and south. By this point the water has fallen out of it and it has cooled, so it sinks back down and creates dry areas either side of the equator. We can see this as the two yellow bands on the map, and you’ll notice that the land in line with those is where we see deserts like the Sahara, the Kalahari, Arabian desert, and central Australia. And also lots of salt at the surface of the ocean, apparently, because there’s no rain falling on it.

The Nile’s average volume is not actually all that big. The Amazon puts more than 70 times as much water into the ocean, apparently. Although the Amazon is quite an outlier in that regard, being about as big as the 2nd through to 7th largest combined

I desperately need the author of the McMansion Hell blog to cover this

Before opening: this better be the oily Josh post

Edit: excellent

“Christ” means “anointed” or “the anointed one”, so “the Christ” actually kinda works

…but since “anointed” means to put oil on something, does that make Jesus the Christ fast as greased lightning?

Islands have been done separately from the mainland when they’re part of the same country on this map. Look at Canada, where Vancouver Island and Newfoundland end up far away from the rest of Canada

I’m pretty sure he would have, although I can’t imagine that he would have been going there to “retire” Sapper in the first place. While his actions at the end of the film weren’t against his old duties for the police, he seemed all in for the replicant cause by the end of the film. The thing Sapper said about “because you’ve never seen a miracle” turned out to be spot on

Can’t blame her honestly, if I lived in a world where nobody even recognised the smell of garlic I’d be blown away by a good cake

I don’t think it was ever said that she was half-human, was it? The remarkable thing was that she was born to a replicant parent, but that could well have been two replicant parents. 2049 never stated a position on the matter as far as I can remember

It is if it’s in a rock band’s name though

There’s a town called Skinflats in central Scotland!

Women are so cute and I can see that it has partially collapsed and I don’t know what to tell him to 6 it to me though I don’t know what to tell him

I guess my autocorrect is very understanding of my dumbass friend who did something stupid for a woman he’s in to

It is in the most timezones of any country, so I expect that that’s the idea they were half-remembering

In my opinion you don’t get sympathy points for being incompetent at transphobia. They were treating her like shit because they hate trans people. The fact that she’s not trans doesn’t change that.

GDP is typically measured annually unless otherwise stated

Only pride and a promise that he will do it again
