That doesn’t slide either way.

If they’re thinking that rationally about “he’s old and therefore unfit”, they’re also aware enough to realize that a treasonous, lying rapist and convicted felon is the worse choice.

They’ll also be aware enough to know that debates are silly primping displays that have nothing to do with being the president.

This debate is a wash at worst for confirmed voters(Donald Trump’s obvious lies arent tolerated like they were 8 or 4 years ago) and dumps is obviously the worst imaginable choice for undecided voters.

Plus he’s half a billion dollars in the bag right now for his campaign.

Go vote.

Hell yeah, vote joe.

Holy cow, I burst out laughing like six times. So funny.

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.

I do. They are delivering hundreds of tons of aid, even if netanyahu and the IDF are being real pieces of s*** about letting it get delivered.

It helps biden’s image, but to call it a “public relations distraction at best” is absurdly narrow-minded and dismissive.

Probably both, his YouTube video production quality spiked pretty rapidly after he got that limited series.

That’s exactly what I mean.

If you go and look at those millionaire youtube influencers, you’ll find the exact same detractions you’ve read above.

He’s very earnest about pop topics that many people already have some sort of opinion about, which is very divisive.

Obviously lots of people like him, but as noted above, others do not.

I actually don’t like him either, I find his explanations a little long-winded for many of his topics in general, but. I think the way he explains pop topics is very good and digestible for a lot of people.

Also, he definitely feels too professional for youtube, maybe too slick? Like he’s trying to sell his idea, regardless of its merit, with such smooth delivery and high production that it’s irritating.

Just as an example.

He’s fine though. I’m sure he’s a nice guy

Hahaha, “now ya owe me!”

This is amazing, especially the production value.

Very fun.

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.

Idk, I generally just gave an eyebrow raised whenever I read a political nyt article, I’m perpetually aware that the nuances or implications in the article too be important to pay attention to.

Or a largely reliable news source with certain red flag issues

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.

Very nice of you to add that in to your admission that you’re incorrect, thanks.

I appreciate your admission of guilt.

And accept your continued congratulations!

Haha,yea. You should definitely wear a badge.

Thanks again

Still no evidence?

Keep up those fabrications, thank you for admitting I’m right again.

Nope, those are discrete words and concepts, and It looks like you’re missing the point.

The point here is that you’re not going to get the response you want by asking a question you’re used to because the affirmative word in English that is the answer to that question does not exist in Chinese languages.

Yes means yes, 喜欢 means ”I like it",and 是的 means “it is”.

Neither of those Chinese words are the direct equivalent of the English “yes”.

Approximations? Functional phrases? Sure.

Different words and concepts and language building blocks? Of course.

And to keep you accountable, “I like it” is a very strange, inaccurate and extremely uncommon way to answer “do you like ice cream?” In English.
