Spread of Mafia extortion by province in Italy. Alta - High Media - Mid Bassa - Low Assente - Absent 😂

@TekNiKo Italians are still advanced. There is a big difference between Northern and Southern Italy.

They hire some, but not as many as one would expect. Most investment bankers are autistic nerds from quantitative fields. Investment banking now is mostly algorithmic trading + insider info BS from people in the know. Not really based on economic theories any longer. Just look at the full...

Lol

Law is practical and directly applicable, but you got to be verbally gifted to make it as a good lawyer. If you barely pass it, you won't ever make it as a mediocre law graduate (many of them). Pure Economics is not very practical. Besides being trained for academia, you get trained to be a...

They are not very practical and you can easily learn humanities/social sciences on your own in your spare time. Especially stuff like philosophy and history. STEM is what makes quality of life go up. While social sciences tend to make people political activists. Even when social science grads...

Ah, so this what the comment.

Damn, you are globetrotting in these corona times? Even if they used skinnies, still would be bad for our image. All major movies made about Somalis are on cliché topics like war and piracy. It is becoming tiresome really. Still gave it 1/10 on IMDB without watching it.

Anglos and Protestant Europe have the best Western culture. Not talking about those Catholic clowns or Eastern Europeans.

The bad parts are exaggerated in media. The average normie Westerner isn't into drugs, gayness, trans etc. Most never use drugs and are not gay. 50% of them are rightwing and even oppose that stuff, and among the leftwing ones only half of them actually do those things and the other ones just...

I wonder if there are any legit Nilo-Saharan loanwords or grammatical structure in Cushitic. I think I saw a paper showing links in Beja, but I haven't seen a linguistic study showing it in Horn Cushitic. Even in English despite the lack of Welsh vocabulary, they found that the grammatical use...

Oops, looks like Gramsci coined it, but an Indian intellectual popularized it?

@Periplus Is post-colonial rhetoric popular with Indian intellectuals? I know that the term subaltern has roots from India.

It depends though, the West is kind of diverse in sub-cultures, there are areas in the West where there is a sense of community. Especially in smaller towns. What you are describing is urban life. I think we shouldn't look down on the West. Their culture is 85% good, 15% bad. Copy the good...

Observing from the sidelines, still in stonk land.

The Gumuz are half or a quarter Ethiopian hunter-gatherer (without Eurasian). They may be more East African ancestrally than the Dinka due to geography, but I am not sure if they are necessarily more Nilote. I think the Kunama are the closest to the Nilote ancestry in Cushites, but they are no...

Looking bullish, but I still see no evidence of a long term reversal. The feds are going to raise interest rates.

Look how people vote with their feet. The West is the most popular area people want to migrate to. You even got Maghrebis who live in peaceful semi-successful countries larping as refugees to escape their messy countries.

The Levant vs Khaleejis have a weird pattern when it comes to recent SSA. In the Levant it is spread out through the entire population at a low percentage, except in the Christian Arabs (who weren't allowed to hold slaves), while in Khaleejis it is highly random, some tribes and regions with...
