Yeah. _{future proofing: at the time of this post. Also, have noticed this is OOCQ thread, now. Future users, you shouldn't be discussing things like this in OOCQ thread also sorry derm, but I've already typed it and am now too lazy to hit back, so it's getting posted anyway ;_;}

Google (3d multiplayer grappling hook airship) seems to think it may be Worlds Adrift.

Ehehehe, you hadn't noticed, Meph? S'been going on for a fair little bit, just yeah, basically zero english speaking attention given to it. Closest I've seen that involves regular acknowledgement of stuff that's going on down there is reference to BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China, usually talked about as developing/second tier economies, for those that haven't heard of it), which rarely mentions all the stuff besides brazil that's happening, or the stuff they're involved with down south.

S'always been a mite odd how little news manages to make its way up north about 'em, especially positive news, really. Another generation or so, maybe less, and we're probably going to have some very surprised americans and europeans, ha.

It is, it'd just help a lot if you mention the region you're talking about, particularly when you're talking about something tiny

Your reply is very characteristic of the USA though, thinking that USA = America. Nope. USA is not even 1/4th of America.

USA is, however, a significantly large portion of the primarily english-speaking part of the americas, and also what gets so much of the proportional english news coverage et al that most of south/central america may as well not exist for all that people are aware of it. Is why I specified english-speaking, yeah. We may not make up all the landmass or population, but you better believe we're taking several dozen lion's shares of the world's general awareness.

... also a total population around a half million is really ruddy small. Folks without the history connection probably ain't going to recognize it, heh.

But why did her favorability rating only start to tank in early 2013 while they were relatively stable before. Have you seen the chart?

Probably more than one reason, but there was a point where smears against clinton went from consistent but relatively low frequency to goddamn always, all the time, incessantly, the drum being banged more than the detractors bang their spouses. I don't quite recall when that was, both because it's kinda' blurred together and there's only so much shit I have to give over hearing the same damn thing for the ten thousandth time (with nothing concrete coming of it, of course, again), but it could have been in that ballpark, or at least finally started to have some effect around then. S'a possible contributing factor, at least.

... except if you emphasize the first ~half of that sentence, you get pretty much exactly what arx just said; the conservatives are louder because the government has been more polarized, giving them more positions in legislature et al. So it... kinda' is how M characterized it. Just not entirely, and apparently in language that y'tripped up on. Is why ask before going throat spelunking, heh.
