A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.
Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

Internet teaching me Ireland not in UK.... either that or all their pubs blew up.
Northern Ireland belongs to the UK, the Republic of Ireland doesn't.
NI is part of the UK, for now.
Let's hope for an Irish reunion.
My own experience is that the majority are happy with the current division. Compared to "the troubles" the current status is wonderful.
Yanks seem to be keen to go back to that so they can fund terrorism again.
The "again" at the end of your comment makes me wonder to what extent you believe the US was involved with propping up the IRA. They smuggled guns from America but I haven't seen anything credible beyond that.
yeah and that barely counts for anything, anyone can just come to the US and buy guns at the grocery store
Don't get to take it home with you though if that involves crossing international borders.
Not only arms, but also money was raised and sent back to fund IRA activities.
Sure.. Not all Americans, but IRA funding and support was pretty widespread in places such as New York. (Not saying it's not understandable why people with Irish heritage, or Americans in general would support the IRA, just that US support for them was a very helpful lifeline.)
Edit: also smuggling guns into a conflict zone to arm one side is quite substantial help.
Not just guns. The Semtex came from somewhere.
I'm really torn on the whole thing. I don't want there to be a barrier between the British and Irish, but I also see the appeal of Ireland being whole. We've come so far in my lifetime and I like we've ended up in this situation where the two countries are just open to each other. It's a really strong statement given where things were less than 50 years ago.
England ⊂ Great Britain ⊂ United Kingdom ⊂ British isles
Great Britain is England, Scotland, Wales.
United Kingdom is Great Britain + Northern Ireland.
British isles are UK and Ireland.
Remember that Ireland and Northern Ireland both make up the island of Ireland. The Irish live in (the republic of) Ireland and the Northern Irish live in the northern part of Ireland (Northern Ireland), which is part of the UK.
Hope that helps.
Ireland doesn't have pubs. They have bars. Which serve the same function as pubs and look like pubs but they are bars.
Ireland totally has pubs. I think you might be thinking of Boston.
Boston is wonderful, every other door has booze behind it. You can stumble down the street and somehow end up in the same place everywhere you go.
