"mmm, medicine, my favourite..."

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Portugal (and Switzerland, I think?) had a heroin problem in the 2000s. They decriminalized it and it was a major success.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

BC needs to do the same. But instead we’re criminalizing open use which increases the likelihood of death for those doing drugs alone. 🤦‍♀️

Why is Russia shaped so weird?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

They wanted to use the geographical definition of Europe, so they cut off everything beyond the Ural mountains and Caspian sea.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Eurasia gang

Russia is not part of Europe.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

It is. Europe is commonly defined all the way to the Ural mountains, which are located somewhere in the middle of Russia. Most of russian population lives in Europe.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

And 'continents' are just arbitrary conventions. Where they begin/end can't be settled by anything objective. There are several models for delineating them.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Interesting!

I was thought the five continent model as a child concerning the geographic continents (but Australia was called Oceania) and the seven continent model in society class (Samhällsorientering)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Culturally I'd also put that part of Russia closer to the Slavic countries than to any fully Asian country.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

But why would the other countries, like Switzerland would be excluded then?

Edit: I'm asking in the context of the Russia is/is not in Europe conundrum.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

It's made by some dude on instagram. He probably just didn't find the proper data for some countries.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

No data available, most likely.

Data Is Beautiful
