@Makili010 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart This is a really disappointing response. How can you talk about the Vietnam war without talking about the enormous protests in the US against it? Those protests put an end to the war. This would have not been possible in China. By all military metrics the US was winning.

@Adler43769 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart 哈，战争结束和民主有什么关系？美国人在越南耗费了1.5万亿美元【以2020年购买力计算】，死亡了六万人，受伤二十多万人，导致美国人无力和苏联竞争才是根本原因！如果民主可以结束战争，那我要问，为什么民主美国会发动战争？你不觉得矛盾么？美国人是因为损失太大才停止战争的。

昨夜､娘から衝撃的な発言があり急遽家族会議をしました…。 娘曰く「日本人に見られるのが恥ずかしい…」と…。 なぜなのか問いましたら「歴史の授業で南京大虐殺を知った」と。 娘はインターナショナルスクールですので､私は「それは日本人の先生から教わったの？」と訊きました。 すると､「IGCSEのカリキュラムの中でイギリス人の先生から教わった」と…。 ※IGCSE（Cambridge IGCSE）とは、14〜16歳（日本の中学〜高校1年）を対象とした世界的に認められた中等教育修了資格です。 イギリスが中心で､この後にIBやAPなどに進みます。 家内が「そんなこと､していないのよ！」と言いますと､「ママやパパの頃は事実が分からなかったのよ」と… 私から､「1985年に南京大虐殺記念館が中国でオープンするまでは､南京事件って言って中国も騒いでいなかったんだよ」と言っても「それは日本の視点で､世界からは違うよ」と…。 衝撃を受けました私は､添付の記事（日本のメディアではなくNYタイムズ）を見せて､冷静に虐殺する合理的なメリットがないことや､中国のプロパガンダの特性などを話しました。 蒋介石の行動や､南京での日本軍と現地の方のスナップ写真なども見せました。 娘はまだ半信半疑のようです。 私が心配しているのは､上記の内容を海外の教育プログラムに入っていること…。何とかできないか模索中です。

@Makili010 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart You assume that democracy has to be perfect for it to be a democracy. I do not make these kinds of assumptions. There are plenty of flaws with democracy. But out of all the forms of government it is by far the least shit.

@Adler43769 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart 在这种基础上，你理想中的民主制度，在现实中几乎可以说不存在，它更像是一种中学物理中的理想模型。如果一个制度要指望民众人人如同智者一般才能完美长久运行，这本身就不合理，就像幻想专制国家每一任独裁者都是无私的智者一样。

@Makili010 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart I'm sorry but I don't know where we're going with this. I also don't know how you expect me to read this.

@Adler43769 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart 每个人都知道，解决问题是痛苦的，艰难的，而通过欺骗煽动和负债福利来获取选票是更容易的。解决毒品问题是困难的，但是高呼中国带来了芬太尼就容易的多。看一下日本的媒体如何愚弄民众的，大米高于国际价格十几倍，是中国的错误，牛肉昂贵了，是中国的问题，等等。其实我说的不只是日本和美国

@Makili010 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart might devolve into yours.

@Makili010 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart And the alternative would be to give up without a fight. It's a fight worth fighting. And what do we need to protect democracy from? From authoritarian regimes like those in Russia or China. You're basically telling me that my preferred system is worse than yours because it

@Makili010 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart Also bringing up Vietnam is another argument in my favor. The war only ended because the US is a democracy. They didn't pull out because they were losing militarily. They pulled out because their population wanted their government to do so.

@Adler43769 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart 我只是列举一下当前世界的现状，尤其是民主国家。民主会带来和平，是错误的结论。法国人在阿尔及利亚做了什么？法国是民主国家么？二战德国呢？美国在越南的作为，美国今天的作为，美国是民主国家么？比利时呢？英国呢？请问他们是民主国家么？我只列举了发达民主国家，不发达的民主国家同样带来的战争

@Makili010 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart Yeah the huge issue with america is that their democracy is crumbling right now. Trump doesn't rule with congress or listen to courts. He rules past them. You're just making arguments for my case.

@Makili010 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart You inadvertendly made the strongest point for my argument. Democracies need to be constantly protected so they don't turn into cruel regimes like those of nazi germany, fascist italy, the CCP's one party authoritarian rule or north korean style dictatorship.

@Makili010 @396Krrn66 @TheGetchell @inari_oji @saegerart It was a broken democracy. Hitler did not get the position of Reichspräsident through democratic means. And from that point it was already over. This does not tell us that democracies are bad. It tells us that they are fragile in the face of fascist movements and it needs to

@Douglasddecker @TeslaLoverGirls Sure I just want to be extra careful about technology like this and think it's silly to hype up FSD for solving problems it created itself by making obvious mistakes.

@Adler43769 @TeslaLoverGirls Agreed but since we are not kings, i guess we'll just take the next best thing. 😀

Tesla’s brakes and maneuverability are truly outstanding. The car’s advanced Automatic Emergency Braking and precise handling helped prevent a serious accident. $TSLA

@mobofmobs never reach 0. It will just become smaller and smaller and smaller.

@mobofmobs Another example for converging would be looking at a graph as x approaches infinity. Let's look at the function f(x)=1/x. The bigger x gets, the smaller f(x) gets. For very big values f(x) approaches 0. But as infinity isn't a "real" number we can't ever reach it, so f(x) will

素数の逆数の総和は無限大に発散するが、現在見つかっている素数の逆数の総和は約4。

@2ndGammaAnemo @FlinnT0p @nocontextmemes If you actually use the label lolicon to describe yourself, you need therapy as well.

@FlinnT0p @nocontextmemes We won’t, the dude needs therapy.

@mobofmobs @shirokohakawaii @kokesaku1492 @kiguro_masanao The most famous example being the geometric series sum(q^k) for absolute values of q<1.

@mobofmobs @shirokohakawaii @kokesaku1492 @kiguro_masanao That is not sufficient reasoning as there are infinite sums that do converge to a fixed value.

@letsgoby9 @dugmartsch @SussexHenryVIII You know why they called him Sleepy Joe? Because during his presidency people could sleep at night.

@dugmartsch @SussexHenryVIII He didn't think about 90% of his presidency either

People under 30 might not remember that we could go weeks without hearing from or thinking about the President of the United States.
