  • Uh, yeah it’s the same president.

    It’s only been 8 months.

    So you’re like, super uninformed?

    Guess your little inaccurate tantrum bears that out.

    Just to blast apart your irrelevances there, 1) Biden admitted that he was wrong about the babies as soon as he found out he was wrong about the babies due to faulty intelligence. 2) With complete non-involvement from the US, israel has enough other allies and stockpiled ammunitions to have started and continue this genocide for years(as they have been doing for the last half century); the fact that you don’t know this bears out your ignorance and renders your plaintive cries immaterial.

    I know you feel safe on the bandwagon, but you might want to read a little before you start making things up.




  • You might want to go climb up to the top of this thread, that’s not what this thread is about at all.

    My simple example one can easily extrapolate from is a response to a commenter claiming that sanctions won’t work against China because they are strict, but if the US treated China like a parent treats their child, manipulating and urging them onward with soft encouragement, the US could get that they wanted from China without the need for sanctions.

    My point is that if even the word “yes” is not directly translatable in Chinese languages, and they have a couple tens of thousands of words, and China has an entire historical set of behaviors and culture separate from the US with unique calls and responses, it’s insulting and unreasonable to expect a desired response using manipulations that work differently in different cultures.

    Separately, you haven’t demonstrated much capability in either language you’re theorizing about and as a result haven’t earned that trust.




  • Well, if you have an unrelated McDonald’s anecdote…

    Your grasp on either these languages or the main premise of the argument is sorely lacking.

    To humor you, if you truly believe that you can ask in English “do you like ice cream?” and expect to receive the answer " I like it", then we’ve determined which language you understand less.

    Then again, The Chinese noun and verb for love is "爱“, not the McDonald’s phrase you quoted, so maybe you don’t understand either language as well as you would like.

    But hey, you know McDonald’s lore, so there’s that.
