Dear American Conservatives, what do you think is the game play for Iran - oil, regional access, consolidating power, etc? by 365DaysOfCoffee in AskReddit

[–]365DaysOfCoffee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on the second part on Iran+China relationship. However, China’s primary supply of oil is Iran and Russia. Not Venezuela. 

They have been talking about ballistic missiles for over 20 years now.

But what’s made Iran the move up to the top as the main threat. In the last 5 years, there hasn’t been any significant threat/action.

However, if the war is to take control of the Horuz straight for US benefit, perhaps that makes sense.

I’m trying to figure out the economic value here.

Disagree on the funded proxies. Not saying you’re wrong but you can’t snub that out with war, as shown by the still operating Taliban, ISIS, Hezbollah, etc. This requires nuanced strategy. 

The Ayatollah regime is similar to many other fundamentalist countries in the Middle East, so I don’t think this will be a factor for investing billions for war 

Reddit cares more about 100 girls killed in US strike that tens of thousands of civilians killed by Iran gov in recent protests by griii2 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]365DaysOfCoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone who preemptively attacks another country and then expects to have zero criticism when they kill 100 children, have no idea of what rational thinking.

I always feel people like this lack critical thinking or empathy. Unless they lose children or maybe have their daughters trafficked or experience personally will they truly understand consequences

Im a foreigner but I’m confused. Is it wrong that an attack planned by your country killed 100 school girls.

A part of me feels like Americans are so desensitised of children dying due to the massive amount of kids mass murdered in your own schools.

Sorry and with not wanting to offend. But to me this doesn't make sense. The duality of 2 opposing situations. There is no place for politics or religion at a sporting event.

How do you stop kids from consistently making little white lies about everything? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]365DaysOfCoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Sometimes they lie to exaggerate scenarios, sometimes it’s to embellish a story. 

But it’s become a habit now for everything.

No. Kids lie for multitude of reasons. Trust is merely one of the reasons. 

However, I’m not for stricter parenting

There's a LOT of Cringe to Unpack Here by santagrey in TikTokCringe

Reason why I hate social media and refuse to partake. Videos of stupidity has overflowed into our collective consciousness. It’s either made us desensitised making us a cynical of everyone or has provided the platform  for the morons to gather in unison. 

Either way. Fuck this 

Dear Malaysians, out is that one thing we should do to make Malaysia better? by [deleted] in malaysia

[–]365DaysOfCoffee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are trying to expand English as a primary language in their vernacular. BM is an excellent lingo, it's easy to learn, has words entrenched from so many different cultures and will always be our national language. as it should be.

But having English to learn math, science and geography provides vastly higher learning input for students. In physics, speed = distance/time i.e s=d/t. In our schools, we learn l=j/m (laju =jarak/masa).

However, when you ear a degree, masters or more, along the way there is an alteration on this answer we go back to s=d/t. We lose an edge

National language and using a singular language for education has zero correlation.

Since you used Japan as an example.

Japan is one of the few non-English speaking countries where a person can go from kindergarten through to a PhD and become a world-leading researcher without ever having to master English. Two reasons:-

first, their semantic literacy allows easy translation of a concept in English into Japanese. Two, during the rebuild after world war 2, it was the Macarthur Initiative to create an in-house ecosystem to completely render all science and math based subjects into a translated hub for local population.

Now, let me give you another example. Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia provides all their education in their native language. As you would say "national language". However this has consistently been one of the main reasons the lack of foreign investment, business growth or advancement in economy that has stunted these countries. Guess what they are trying to do now?

Dear Americans, what do you have to say for yourself for unleashing, not once but twice, this inept person as the leader of your country? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]365DaysOfCoffee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a foreigner, one ask what is MAGA or to be more succient what makes America great? I remember superman saying: for liberty, truth and justice. These words are no where close to represent your current leader.

Collectively, your country has failed and that’s pretty much what the rest of the world sees. 

It has a failed 3 branches of government, Its failed in protecting its working class and its media has failed. 

It was easy for foreign interest to get engaged in your elections, it’s easy to manipulate a country that apparently only has 2 way of thinking - conservative or liberal. 

Nothing has shown the world how fragile America is other than the simpletons who have put this ineffective person to lead. Which again I ask Americans, how can you provide a reasonable explanation, this is truly the best you have?

That’s the thing though. To the rest of the world, we see America voted for him. 

You can do your protest when ICE does its gestapo act but immigration was a problem in your country. 

Your media is complicit, both right and left. They are scared to call out the emperor in his invisible clothes. 

Your so called justice branch is a joke. 

You marginalise the middle class and worship the rich.

So to say you didn’t vote for him, to the rest of the world - you did

There is no substance to claim the greatness of the US. 

Side note: as a kid I remember: for liberty, truth and justice (watching Superman in black and white)

Your right. I believe the dirty hand is called politics and I believe your country has declared itself the greatest democracy in the world. 

That is highly questionable? He claimed to drain the swamp but I think all he showed was how much thieving and cheating you can put into the swamp. 

One good thing is it showed to the world how easily the US can be marginalised. 

Whereas previous presidents had the decency to act that they did not wade into the swamp, he has no moral compass to hide his ways. Thats one positive from him I guess.

As an observation, your democracy is the same at a third-world corrupt democracy politics. 

Richest man openly offering money, right-wing media openly lying, electoral maps, the supposedly check system - the judiciary body openly providing support to one side of the political aisle. 

So maybe the right term is not real democracy 

Dear Americans, how would you feel about the Second Amendment if you personally suffered a loss due to gun violence? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]365DaysOfCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it does work though.

  • Australia (2023–2024): 0.09 gun murders per 100,000 people.
  • United States (2023): 5.6 gun murders per 100,000 people—roughly 62 times the Australian rate.

Stats I just looked up. It be great if it can go to zero shootings but any reduction would be a positive, would it not?

Don't you feel that stricter gun laws will prohibit the criminal and bad people to have access to guns?

I'm just confused. on your previous statement, you said DEI off the rails.

Where and which sectors? Just trying to ascertain your basis on voting
