NYC is closer to Jersey's Capital then New York's Capital. The entire area is very confusing.

In a normal society, why would "additional, optional graduation events" exist?

dick ethnic russians comprize the dick of Russia. seems legit to me.

SF is one of the densest cities in the US!

they are based in the new york metro area and most of their fans are from the new york metro area. same reason it's called the las vegas strip and not the unincorporated clark county strip

In the grand scheme of things, this is bad I guess. I know very little about ocean aciditiy. This change is due to pollution and it changes the environment for sea life. Does it also affect weather, climate, temperatures?

San Francisco has a population of 815K. San Jose, which is at the other end of the Bay, has a population of 983K. All of Santa Clara county has a population of ~2 million. People in the bay area are heavily concentrated around the south and south east. The city of SF is very sparse in comparison.

Plus, until recently you had the Raiders just across in Oakland which further made a downtown SF team redundant.

It would be interesting to include the former Soviet Union countries

I'm actually a bit intrigued to know where they pulled out that 2/3 from. Everything to the East of the Urals?

Santa Clara is not even close to the heart of the Bay Area. SF is the center on the Bay Area. Candlestick was a way more accessible location to all of the Bay Area. The Bay Area isn’t just Silicon Valley.

Do people have to get political on every subreddit? It's as if their homecountry was attacked by Russia personall. No one needs your chivalrious Russia-bashing. It doesn't help shit and most certainly it doesn't help Ukraine.

Which is interesting, because they annexed it in 2014 and this census is from 2021

I have a feeling that's the case for Amazon.

The Holodomor wasn't a planned genocide. And Stalin would've been too stupid to pull that off anyways. His intention was to collectivise grain production in the USSR, so that the state would have more control over the economy. Since Ukraine was, and still is, the breadbasket of Europe, the Ukrainians had to suffer the most. But to think of it as a plan to remove ethnic Ukrainians is wrong. I don't know of any crimes Stalin commited where ethnicity or race played a key role. After all, he wasn't Russian himself but Georgian.

Edit: Typo

It's banana shape I think

The middle could be more acidic and we wouldn’t know from this map. Just shows the change

Ah yes, the good old Arlington Heights Bears. Yes they will get more space, and an opportunity to improve the Arena how they want it, and better autonomy of their decisions vs going through the Chicago park district… but … well you know what they have a good justification to move.

Why do you hate it?

That's an interesting bending of history. Please remind me, is the current year 1994?

While that makes sense from an economic point of view that’s kind of like saying the packers would be ok to move their stadium to Sheboygan because it’s closer to a lot more people in Milwaukee than it otherwise would be in downtown Green Bay.

Sure that’s probably true. But it’s a betrayal of the heart of the team. It’s not the Bay Area 49ers or the sam Jose or Santa Clara 49ers. It’s the San Francisco 49ers. For the same reason the raiders would never have moved to SF.

I went to the Crimea when it was occupied by the Ukraine...the people there, by and large, from all the conversations I had, definitely wanted to be part of the Russian State (that's why people in the Crimea voted to join the RF when the Soviet Union collapsed...they were only kept in the Ukraine by threats of force by Kiev).

Why are you presuming ethnic Russians want to be part of the Russian state? What type of blood and soil fascist apologia is this? This is the type of rhetoric and framing that gets immigrants all across the world attacked over accusations of dual loyalty.
