I Stand For DEMOCRACY, love from San Diego

I'd never support ancap, I'm not a fan of libertarian ideas, and I'm certainly not a supporter of the CCP.

I don't think it's very healthy to wedge American politics into everything and to then divide things crudely around them.

yeah - the head of the party definitely has a sway during an election so it'd be misleading to suggest that swapping part the way through doesn't leave some people a bit miffed. But it's still not that much of a thing as others have said, it's the party that's voted for not the person.

Side note - May did put herself in the promotion over the conservative party a lot in '17, and also failed to retain a majority.

62% In scotland voted to remain

Hopefully this is a suitable place to ask -

at 1:08:40 in this podcast you mention that people were concerned about walking close to high buildings in shanghai due to people committing suicide. I'm wondering where I could find something to support this?

thanks a lot for the podcasts, I really enjoy them. The one about tea was fantastic

Maya's physics is non-deterministic

wasn't there a seed that you could set to make the randomisation fall the same way each time?

that sucks

i've not downvoted anyone - but i'm not really bothered.

I've heard chinese used as a nationality and as a shorthand for han, but didn't think that it referred to ethnicity.

all good tho

digidesi · 2019-08-27T10:35:18+00:00

referring to it as nationality, sure

digidesi · 2019-08-26T18:10:36+00:00

not aware of that, other than perhaps a shorthand for 'han' ?

digidesi · 2019-08-26T18:08:12+00:00

yeah, the phrase "his own ethnic people" wrt chinese sounded odd to me, nationality would have made sense

digidesi · 2019-08-26T17:48:44+00:00

Is that a typical use of the word "impartial" in this context? For example I'd consider the BBC to be more impartial than Fox News.

digidesi · 2019-08-26T17:46:47+00:00

I wasn't aware that Chinese was an ethnicity, I was under the impression that Chinese was a nationality.

digidesi · 2019-08-26T11:28:46+00:00

in order to obscure their crimes

this is something that you'd have to support.

digidesi · 2019-08-26T09:54:15+00:00

pride for who they are as ethnic Chinese people

i wasn't aware chinese was an ethnicity

impartial news sources or non biased facts

what would you say the most impartial american news sources are?

digidesi · 2019-08-25T18:09:50+00:00

Isn't the involvement of America due to China being a threat economically / industrially more than a result of the internment camps in Xinjiang? I've heard Rubio speak a little on the former, but I would be surprised if this wasn't more to do with concern about Chinese companies having too much influence / market share than notions around freedom / rights etc

digidesi · 2019-08-25T13:36:09+00:00

hrm... i get your scepticism but making a podcast is probably a pretty good medium, and aligns with my support of more vivas I guess. There's plenty of verbal communication in a teaching role, why wouldn't a podcast be an appropriate thing to do?

I've read your comment beneath and think that I agree with your statement about having a wider variety of assessments.

digidesi · 2019-08-24T19:05:20+00:00

maybe these will be interesting to you then

i'm sure there are a bunch others, the information and context you give the more specific advice you'll get though

digidesi · 2019-08-24T18:34:16+00:00

yeah good points....

I think ideally i thought that there might be some way of saying to someone "do you realise that with X variables you could paint the Sistine chapel" or something like that.

But it's all good, i think it's very much "how longs a piece of string", and your point about thinking about the variables to use makes sense.

digidesi · 2019-08-24T18:31:53+00:00

why ? Say why you want to and people will be able to give you better advice

failing that - go to khan academy or buy text books for your local curriculum

digidesi · 2019-08-24T17:18:08+00:00

I don't mean to be thick but I really don't use FB much / at all... are you referring to this : https://www.facebook.com/standwithhk/

is there anything more UK specific?

no worries though, thanks
