🇮🇹 #Turismo nostro petrolio. Nel silenzio e forse con il plauso, il numero di pernottamenti negli ultimi mesi è aumentato moltissimo, soprattutto in BnB e alloggi di breve durata (+28,4% negli ultimi 12 mesi). Sempre meno industria, sempre più turismo. Così fa un paese in via di inviluppo. Avanti tutta, mi raccomando.

The post-Covid proliferation of 3rd world (especially South Asian) labour and study migration just killed the Western "expat" job market. Most countries are now restricting visa rules or getting rid of English-language jobs. International Master's degrees have become a joke.

La mappa dei risultati del referendum costituzionale. La vittoria del No passa da centri abitati e dal Sud. Il Sì prevale nelle zone rurali del Nord, in particolar modo Lombardia e Veneto.

Italy has one of the highest self-employment rates in Europe - twice as high as Germany for example.
And yet you'll find Italians (and some foreigners) who argue in all earnestness about how Italians lack entrepreneurship spirit and long for public employment for life 🙈

In low trust societies like India, smiling at strangers is literally seen as a sign of cunning, crookedness or low IQ. The cultural norms of the west don’t apply in India.
There’s a fair amount of research on this.

No but who is stopping you from smiling at strangers in India or being polite to people serving you or opening doors??? Don’t say it can’t be done because I’ve done it everyday, and people care, they notice and return the kindness ten-fold. I agree that collectivism exists on a narrow axis but that doesn’t excuse everyday kindness, if you’re using culture to perpetuate rudeness that’s solely on you. And don’t complain about social barriers when you’re doing nothing to break them yourself.

Forget left vs. right.
Forget socialism vs. capitalism.
The real battle in the Americas is between two millennium-old cultural systems: Iberians vs. Italo-Germanics, Catholicism vs. Protestantism, notary law vs. common law.
Needless to say which one has failed, yeah?

The German and the Italian are mirror images. The Italian is romantic, but calculating. The German is literal, but deeply irrational.

@sichuan_mala Yeah I didn't get it at all and maybe as a Northern European that's it

@MichaelAArouet @jonatanpallesen It is almost a century that half of the north Italy population has southern origin

@jonatanpallesen Please explain what you mean by that

@SandyofCthulhu No, they are not very distinct culturally as someone is telling repeating made up stories.
Simply before the unification the kingdom of the two sicilies wasn’t very progressive and didn’t catch up as the Nord with the industrialization.
Similar situation as East-Germany

An Italian explained to me that the two “halves” of Italy are culturally distinct. One nation, two societies. The North Italians, influenced by France, Austria, and Switzerland, built up infrastructure. The South had more government corruption and invented the Mafia.
Over time, infrastructure accumulates. Government corruption builds nothing. Even with two groups that share 90% of the same values, over a century that accumulation makes a big difference.
Don’t rage at me. I don’t know how true the analysis is. I’m telling you what an Italian, from Rome, told me. I’ve only been to Italy once myself, to Tuscany and I loved it.

@O_Tonho14 @SandyofCthulhu Yes but the results seemed a slightly fantasy world

The engine for Age 3 was a real 3-D engine, vastly more powerful than what we had before. We won the E3 award for “best graphics” which an RTS game had never done.

Age of Empires 3 felt like a slight disappointment. This was because AOE2 was such a massive improvement over AOE1: -Population limit went from 50 to 200. -Units moved in formation. -Buildings looked like a semi-realistic size. -Unique units for each civ. -Cool new units like trebuchets and hand cannoneers. -Etc. Whereas AOE3 was not such a huge jump. The population limit was the same. Formations basically the same. Each civ got more unique units I guess. And Home Cities were cool. But it just wasn't that big of an upgrade. I still love the game because I love the early modern period and too few games cover it. But it was not as groundbreaking as AOE2.
