I subscribe to the patently incorrect view that the only difference between pie and cobbler is shape.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Victoria is very pretty
Moana is an adorable movie
I have been informed that LGBTQ is now properly LGBTQIA so now I'm a little more progressive because being progressive is a series of trivia challenges
Time to go watch that star wars movie that everyone's making O faces about!
Even though I am not a huge fan of cities the action and demography of urbanization does interest me. There are all sorts of cycles with it but overall through history, especially the 20th and 21st centuries, a real push on a population level to increase urbanization.
Of course the base economic reasons are pretty obvious. Centralization of production and so on.
But then when you think about it, a lot of modern urbanization was about the industrial revolution and industrial work. As we move towards automation and needing fewer people to keep a city running will there be a possible reversing of the current course? As there will be less need for the centralization of a work force as a major driver for populations collecting into a single space.
I just read the other day that the trend is projected to continue
I guess today about half of the world's population lives in cities -- projected to increase to 70% by 2050
here's what is gonna be the real hard decision: the damage is mostly to the screen, but there are a couple of small but rough-feeling, nasty looking dings on the case
And I think I'm gonna have a choice between being financially responsible and replacing the screen ($30) or being a shallow spendthrift and fixing the whole phone ($100)

Pakistan isn't a huge country in population size overall. Especially compared to its neighbors. But it has two of the most populated "proper" cities in the world. That was fun to learn today.
tbf, trying to compare population of proper cities doesn't mean much
like yeah technically NYC ends at the borders of the five boroughs
but NYC doesn't really end there
trying to compare city sizes in a meaningful way is a little sticky

I wonder if that's the case in more developed countries though
It still is in the US at least. We have been constantly urbanizing through a lot of our history.
Though a lot of these studies and models, I worked with one in grad school, take a lot of assumptions on economics and technology moving and working a similar fashion.
If you remove the economic incentive of urbanization will we as a species continue to urbanize?
Though I would say the shift backwards, if it occurs, will probably be after we are dead and more in our grandchildren/great grandchildren's lifetime when we are in a much more automated society and some of the social upheaval of that is settled.

Like in LA nobody refers to just Los Angeles as the city. More often than not you'll hear people refer to the actual city limits as LA proper and everything else is LA

im fond of those rubbery cases that only cover the back and not the front, but they protrude enough from the front that if you drop a phone face down the case is impacted before the screen
many drops, only one cracked phone and that one lived a 4-5 year life before that so

I was already discussing this earlier.
Though even if you add in the NYC metro area to it Karachi I think is still slightly bigger. I know Tokyo and Shanghai still dwarf NYC. Wiki uses the ~20 million estimate for NYC metro which is still smaller than some of the other major city metros like Delhi or Shanghai.

in economic area sure. But even the large parts of the outer parts of the boroughs are pretty dang suburban.

we need to develop a second electoral college to further protect us from the looming threat of cities
LA is one of the largest cities in the US. You are a megacity.
Also I was looking at a census presentation from 2010 showing the differences from 1940 to 2010 in pops.
In 1940 there were no cities over 500,000 in Texas or most of the West. St. Louis did have over 500,000 though.
In 2010 Texas has multiple cities but St. Louis is below 500,000 in the city proper.
Population shifts!

Oh yeah I had some thoughts the other day
Does @porp ever lie? Next time she lies, you should call it "porpaganda."
Memphis overtook St. Louis for the first time since the civil war p recently
GDI I almost laughed coffee out my nose.

Quick googling shows NYC is 14th.
in economic area sure. But even the large parts of the outer parts of the boroughs are pretty dang suburban.
she doesn't lie so much as berate me with the untruth
[/scanners.gif]
all according to plan
Definitely porpaganda.
What's the best regional burger franchise
Be specific about why your regional burger franchise is superior, and why other ones are inferior
I can't remember the last time porp or I lied to each other about something
same with the kids, I try really hard not even to tell easy lies like your mom will be home soon
suck it up buttercup she ain't coming back until midnight
Add LA and NYC together about 1 in every 10 Americans lives in either of these two metro areas.
Maybe more like 1 in 11.
Which is really nuts.
