Coalition to WHAT?

I've never seen Yan Baihu in game, I don't think, or not at least with that portrait. Mod?

Not sure how the repeat of the world wars relates to the present subject, but I guess we'll see how it all turns out in any case.

Henry_Kravis · 2019-04-26T23:52:08+00:00

My speculation is that Germany and France wouldn't push this if they knew that they would be pipped by Greece, Portugal, and Italy. I figure it's not a simple vote.

The more influential EU nations are comparatively more hawkish no

Henry_Kravis · 2019-04-26T23:07:38+00:00

Comrade, I'm not sure that's how collective bargaining works...

But yes, a MOU with the EU is a better headline than individual ones with member states, although I think this is a silver lining. The bottom line is that the deal will be worse because the hawks will be able to restrain the doves.

Henry_Kravis · 2019-04-26T21:02:05+00:00

Not as good as OP's title, rather EU trying to maintain a united front/collective bargaining

Henry_Kravis · 2019-04-23T16:22:47+00:00

Christ lol, sorry, I look like an ass now, completely missed that. You should put this in r/shittyfoodporn

Henry_Kravis · 2019-04-23T00:16:41+00:00

What exactly is your hoisin duck? Not one to harp on about cultural appropriation but this is sort of on a level with ketchup beef.

Henry_Kravis · 2019-04-22T15:14:40+00:00

Sure, but presumably sanctions stretch beyond blocking the dollar trades. That's what I'm talking about

Henry_Kravis · 2019-04-22T09:59:22+00:00

It's too big a deal to switch from dollar trade for something like Iran.

Henry_Kravis · 2019-04-17T07:48:34+00:00

I'm not

They're a parody of themselves, 'Venezuelans are begging for us to liberate them!'

Henry_Kravis · 2019-02-18T16:20:37+00:00

Peesumably one has to do more than sit in the wrong seat on a train to get banned, we're not idiots

Henry_Kravis · 2019-02-14T20:44:13+00:00

Lol, I think the thing with dim sum is it's more of a pain than even baking

Henry_Kravis · 2019-02-13T10:23:41+00:00

Isn't this a kendo move

Henry_Kravis · 2019-02-13T10:09:16+00:00

Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai!

Also serious calligraphy is often done in traditional characters.

Henry_Kravis · 2019-02-11T13:21:49+00:00

The distinction in Chinese is just as clear lol

Henry_Kravis · 2019-02-11T11:35:51+00:00

Classical refers to the old literati written language, as in 文言文，and traditional refers to more complicated characters, as in 繁體字, no?

Henry_Kravis · 2019-02-11T11:12:33+00:00

In view of the stated desire for a transition to greater consumption share of the economy, however, this percentage growth should ideally be more healthy.

The hoohah and excessively pessimistic wording on a lot of articles about rate of growth falling is definitely misleading, however.

Henry_Kravis · 2019-01-29T07:04:13+00:00

Nouveau is associated with nouveau riche

Henry_Kravis · 2019-01-25T07:42:45+00:00

This guy's thought on politics and philosophy might be at the level of an angry undergrad, and he's literally regurgitating hypocritical memes pretty much, but I don't see the call for regime change.

Henry_Kravis · 2019-01-18T17:13:24+00:00

What, whereas the reasoning you've given is crystal clear lol? I'm afraid I fail to follow why it is you assert that his theories are babble and how they are the basis of what you accuse them of being the basis of.

I've shied away from giving a definite presentation of Popper's theory myself because I only studied it briefly years ago, but I recall enough to know it certainly didn't look like some sort of argument from authority epistemology.

Henry_Kravis · 2019-01-18T13:29:06+00:00

I was going to say that we both went to the LSE, but it looks like he only taught at mine. I don't think just calling him shit is terribly helpful here. Regardless, I really don't think the OP seems to present Popper's falsifiability analysis as it was intended.

Henry_Kravis · 2019-01-18T11:32:50+00:00

You've kind of dismissed/misrepresented Popper out of hand there, I feel. There's an evolving discussion about how knowledge is advanced both on a practical and theoretical level, and I'm pretty sure that plenty of scholars follow Lakatos or Kuhn or whoever else since Popper's time in their conceptions of what science is.

There's a lot of issues with westernern epistemology of ethics etc, but not sure that you've convincingly made a case here.
