There is no official color designation for the parties; and they used to commonly be "reversed" although it varied from media outlet to outlet.

The colors "switching" is almost entirely a media fabrication. Different television networks trying out different colours and configurations, copying each other, chasing viewer numbers, etc. and the 2000 election is where it gets kind of standardized as what we have today.

“My firm belief is that the turning point in red/blue states was the national map (that) USA Today ran the day after the election in 2000, in which — for whatever reason — red was Republican and blue was Democratic-”

Keating Holland, CNN’s director of polling and election analysis from 1993 to 2014.

In the movie Winter Kills (1979) John Huston's character, before plummeting from a skyscraper to his death, he says to Jeff Bridges' character:

You get out of this alive, son-
You get out of this alive.
Take our money out of the western world and put it in South America.
Oh!
Brazil. Ah!
Aah!
Brazil! They're the next ones up!

Also this movie is shockingly good, 10/10 recommend from me won't spoil anything.

What the heck is it, what's the origin, and what is it supposed to mean? Looks like some Philips CD-i game.

• it is "morshupls"
• Morshu is a shopkeeper character from Link: The Faces of Evil
• It's generally used to convey someone giving an overly verbose and possibly asinine explanation "Morshu Explains" see also :pronouns:

I'm going to assume communities.

Correct.

Does that mean that hexbear can have communities that only native hexbear users can see?

Correct, though this was a Lemmy update not Hexbear so most instances should be able to use this feature if I understand correctly.

Did you see that one time he carried a sink into twitter headquarters? That was some pretty epic memeing!

Doubt it, unless Owlcat has sold their soul to the James Workshop devil.

Maybe another Divinity, or something new; there's lots of other decent RPG systems that haven't been adapted yet.

Lower Saxony & "Actual German Territory" - looks like we could easily fit 1,495 more states in there

Why just Sorbia? Bring back Greater Pomerania you cowards.

There should be a Rhinelander state between France and Germany

Granada/Andalusian state in southern "Spain"

Independance for Balearic

Why is there only one Sicily? We could at least get a second Sicily, maybe three with modern technology.

If you are taking part of Germany to make North Frisia might as well balkanize Denmark and Lowlands as well for East/West Frisia; then Balkanize Frisia even further into its 10 constituent subdivisions.

Battlefield Earth

Excuse me, I'm here to show my support for Comrade Joe

it just so happens to also be a China thread
