Or a small fan to blow/suck it away from you

That’s not how you use the word literally.

You Literally gave us the words you have to say.

They are “i know we’re not supposed to do “i have no words” titles but i literally have no words”

It became a major part of the entire Discovery tv show.

If you do a quick look at the terrain option on Google maps. I think it’s very obvious that there were advantages places for larger populations to settle around. That particular section of the west coast is fairly inhospitable. Look at the coastal sea floor as well. It paints a fairly clear picture on its own, especially when comparing it to the east coast. Secondly find a timelapse of the how north American was settled as colonies. Stuff mostly came from the east and eventually made it’s way to the west. Railroads are big big part of how the west was colonized and there wasn’t much use for north south railways as things progressed as there was to get things to and from the east.

That locks in or at least reinforces the locations of where major populations can establish themselves.

It’s only been about 135 years since trans Pacific trade started(quick google info please be kind if that’s wrong) in the year 2000 it was still inside the lifespan of a single living human that international trade across the Pacific was really anything at all

And it was with people’s that had absolutely no relation with the European colonists. And they were also very xenophobic culturally and didn’t develop very advanced in deep ocean sailing due to lack of interest.

The old world was east of the Americas, mystery and the unknown was the Pacific. There be monsters there!

So all in all it seem to make a lot of sense that there wasnt much economic pressures requiring big coastal economies until well after established communities and regions developed.

I think Astoria is one of the older major coastal trade cities, but it faltered as Seattle and Portland developed.

And to your point about being inland a ways, they are in much most hospitable regions for farming and agriculture to support a large population

For most people life sucks and then you die.

Anyone can find happiness with their lot in life, no one truly understands why some of the worst experiences lewd to positive outcomes, but the typical result is misery.

As you age you have more experiences to compare reality to. Many of those experiences wouldn’t be a recognizable experience to the other people that shared that time and space. We create our own reality in our minds that usually is shared in a comprehensive enough way to recognize and agree with, but each person’s experience and interpretation of that shared experience is their own.

Whether crows are wonderful exciting and creature to behold, or dive bombing poop monsters waiting to target you is your own mind interpreting what you see.

These experiences shape how you look at the world and you repeat many of them in some ways reinforcing the held interpretation of it

Its a very easy to find pattern in historical records that older people(generationally) see the new world that has been shaped by younger people is harder to understand. And while some people do find this exciting and energizing, most people will find it a burden or a corruption of what they understand.

Things change. Viva mutator, non tolitur.(I don’t know if this is a real quote but I always remember it from some fiction book I read that explained this translated “latin” phrase as life is changed, not ended)

How you can enjoy your life while living through some of the worst experiences or on going conditions is beyond my understanding, but you won’t stop finding people that are amazingly happy in spite of this. Maybe a very small amount but you won’t ever stop finding more if you put enough time in.

Absolutely Shameless

Why do you think almost no one lives there just because you don’t know of a major city in the area?

It’s simple logistics, there’s no reason for a major city to be there.

You have Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria in the same region. And if anything is coming to the area it’s going to that region already, and if it’s going farther south you have better ports in Oregon.

Genuinely curious what made you interested in this idea or where it came from

At the same time him being an actual ex CIA agent shows he has very successful self control and modulation, unlike many other internet famous people

“covered in your own pee” is quite the exaggeration. Much like the person above saying a drop or 2 of piss from not wiping after yourself means you have “piss soaked” underwear.

I’m so weary of overly exaggerated claims. People ruined the word literally by using it in the exact opposite of it’s actual meaning. It is now a meaningless word. Good job lazy fucks

It’s not just kids. The number of times I’ve had to clean up after grown ass adults use the washroom at work is fucking rediculous

No no you shouldn’t have. It’s excellent just the way it is!

Avro Arrow is a legendary bit of canadiana. It was scrapped and replaced with some US missile defense agreement.

Now it’s ancient history but there’s a good story there and even a movie or 2 about it

I eat cheese on its own as a snack regularly. I never eat bread on its own without at least butter on it.

It’s enjoyable to eat cheese on its own so there is no problem here. And I would also have just put the extra cheese on the last piece of bread but it wouldn’t annoy me in anyway. The bread I would just toss unless I was actually hungry, but I’ve been eating cheese and bread all day so I’m not likely to be hungry

Bread is not good for many birds to eat.

This is a silly premise to begin with, but to answer it having an extra piece of bread left is the less desirable option

Uhhh in this economy?!

I went to an IB school 25+ years ago, didn’t seem that crazy then. I’m curious how time has changed this

It’s a pagan celebration co opted by the church to expand the influence of Christianity.

December 25th is not even the correct day to celebrate the birth of Christ. That’s other pagan holidays being co opted to fuel conversion of “Savages”.

Yule is not a Christian celebration yet it has been supplanted by Christianity.

Some reading on the practice.

Explain Christmas Trees then

Neither should colours. Fuck you Pepsi Blue

I’m happy there are people that thoroughly enjoy this, such as yourself. I just don’t connect to it as anything other than jarring and unpleasant.
