Hi everyone ! I've made a traditional clothing map

One year ago or so, someone asked me if I had a traditional clothing map. At the time I didn't really, but I decided it was in fact a good project for the next years.

So, this is it, my traditional clothing map as of right now :

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1CbCLoUhuwkEvniOLLa24Y4fLqs7Ip4Y&usp=sharing

I'm sharing it here so you can have a look at my work so far. As you can see, it's not complete at all, far from it. For some region I took the time to do a lot of research, a lot others, I didn't got the time yet.

I'm sharing it for two purposes :

1) If you have any suggestions with high quality contemporary pictures for a specific geographical place, don't hesitate to send by DM's or under this post, I'll gladly add it in the map

2) If you see any corrections to be made, please tell me, as I struggle a lot with the different languages and differences between photoshoot places and where the clothings actually originate from, which is what interest me with making this map.

To be clear : This is not a finished product, far from it. And english is not my first language. I'm mostly posting this for correction, in case I've made mistake, for the rest I'll continue updating the map little by little, day by day :)

I just finished the pirate brawl episode and needed a break to recover, so here are The Bad Kids with their updated designs!!

I'm glad the terrible Orc City paragraph is going around and people are making fun of how bad it is because unlike Eye of Argon, this isn't some kid writing something for fun and getting his reputation tragically ruined, it's a professional author who's a whole adult and both shit and writing and a right-wing nutjob. And he made fun of Hideo Kojima of all people.

I want to recommend this blog to anyone who would like to read more examples of terrible sci fi and fantasy writing (plus explanations of WHY it's so bad)

BEST PART OF THE FREE SAMPLE OF THE ORC CITY BOOK AT AMAZON

misspelling rogue as rouge in the glossary

the skyknife, an elvish cavalry that rides pegasi

the skyknife losing half its men in a battle where they were the distraction

the elf advisor named ardneth

the plural of mage being both mages and magi in a single sentence

the titles for the orc leaders are the warchief, warlord, and magnus

there are Dungeons, that sound exactly like dnd style adventuring dungeons

the ruling body is named the crown pantheon but no religion is ever mentioned

the 4 banned classes of magic are witchcraft, warlock, sorcery, and necromancy

telling you a hand equals an hour, then giving half a hand its own entry

the racial glossary, including the slurs

My doctor recommended not checking my phone before 10 (I wake up at 7), because of how cortisol production works and affects your body. I rarely manage it, but it's nice to know there's a medical possibility that doesn't involve ignoring things or being in denial.

While watching a DVD from the library my TV popped up a message saying to press a button if I wanted to watch this from additional providers.

It's never done that before so I looked it up and turns out Roku TVs have added all sorts of creepy things in the privacy section since I last checked.

One of which being they take screenshots from what you're watching and send them to third parties to identify it.

Fucking hell! Remember when every fucking device in your life wasn't a spy implanted in your home and working against your interests to try and sell your data? Remember how nice that was??

Remember when the TV was just a tool that would play the things you plugged into it?

Why must the future suck SO much?

TVs collect a huge amount of data. Here's how to use privacy settings to limit the surveillance on TVs from LG, Samsung, TCL, and every othe

A good rundown on what each brand of TV is up to and which settings you should turn off.

PSA - Do not buy an LG smart TV. They just added a line to their terms of use that it's the user's responsibility to inform any guests in their house that by entering they consent to be recorded, in order to comply with wiretapping laws. That thing is literally recording you.

You can find tutorials online telling you how to open that thing up and physically remove the mic and wifi module. Frankly I don't trust anything less.

Please watch the Gamers Nexus video on LG Smart TV's and monitors! It's basically malware at this point.

transcyberism

ok but this unironically works. talk about how the working class is exploited and you can basically sell full-on marxism to your average republican if you do it right. all you have to do is avoid the words "Marx," "capitalism," "socialism," "communism," "means of production," etc - just use synonyms. say "big business" or "corporate shareholder interests" instead of "capitalists." say "a government that prioritizes the needs of the working people" instead of "socialism." it WORKS. I've DONE it. the hardest sell are usually things like social and racial equity, welfare, things like that, because people have been primed with the racist/classist idea that those things are somehow unfair - but you can get your foot in the door to getting them to buy into those too if you start with class issues. read up on your theory, make sure you REALLY understand your own ideology, because that will enable you to reword it and successfully sell it.

a-ginger-in-black

In my experience, you can often help sell 'welfare' stuff by appealing to self-interest with a touch of Aren't We Great.

Disability benefits: "I mean, sure, there are probably some sad sacks who are gaming the system, there always are, but hell, with the amount of taxes we pay, the government can afford a few freeloaders, right? I'd rather pay for a couple people who don't really need it than not have the system at all for if I need it, or my kids do, or whatever. I mean shit happens. What if some asshole drunk driver puts me in the hospital and it takes me a year to get back on my feet? Or Heaven forbid something permanent happens. I'll sure be glad that I can get disability then, won't I?"

UBI: "I dunno, the kind of guy who'll just sit on the couch playing Call of Duty all day if he doesn't have to work, I kinda don't want him on my job site anyway. That type is just taking up a place that you could fill with someone who'll actually get the job done, you know? You end up short-handed even though you technically have enough people because everyone else has to pick up his slack. And it'd mean that if your boss is a dick you can tell him to shove it and not worry your kids are gonna go hungry while you find a better place. We can sure as hell afford it."

Racial equity: "I've got a lot more in common with a Black guy who's just trying to get the job done than I do with some rich white asshole who thinks the sun shines out of his ass because of how much money mommy and daddy have."

my friends and I have created a game we call Quipposting, where you play quiplash but you roll a wheel full of character archetypes, and whatever it lands on, you all answer as if you are like, a wizard or cowboy. This legitimately makes quiplash go from a fun enough game to an S+ tier absolute unabashed banger

ouroborosorder

the best characters are Mafia Goon, Cyberpunk Hacker, Castle Guard, Sewer Rat, 16th Century Peasant, and Alien Poorly Pretending to be Human

OP we desperately need examples

ouroborosorder

these are all from mafia goonposting but I think it’s my absolute favorite one of all time so I have a lot of pictures from it. Turn on some jazz and wait until people start talking in the accent and you’ll make Magic

devilofdots

I showed my friends this and we immediately adopted it. we played it a bit differently — at the start of each game we would each roll a different character to play as. for example a round might be mafia goon vs techbro etc etc. here’s the categories we brainstormed:

one of the best, by far, was mime. the player had to write all of their answers like actions. I unfortunately didn’t get screenshots but some gems were:

What don’t you want the doctor to tell you? // *looks at chart* :/ *finger across throat*

What’s the new discrete name of an adults only TV channel? // *jerking off motion ending w/ a flourish*

Where don’t you want to find a slug? // *gestures vaguely to the anus then shrugs*
