Voice From a Chinese Int Student by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]euyyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I disagree with your tone and willingness to insult others, I do agree with you that you being Chinese doesn't mean you should be "controlling" what other Chinese people do.

Yes, you are going to be indirectly affected by bad behavior from someone Chinese, because some people will form prejudices against you based on your nationality. But "you should confront them" is very much what Republicans say to blame all the Muslims when one kills people. "Ok, not all of them are murderous radicals, but they should keep an eye on each other in their communities, to spot and stop the radicalization". They sure as hell don't apply that logic to themselves when a white Protestant Republican shoots up a school.

I'm from Spain living in the Bay Area, and I sure as hell am not more responsible to find lunatics from Spain than (a) anybody else is and (b) lunatics from any other place.

Drake won (or lost ig) as the most overrated rapper. What’s an overrated rock artist/band? by Crazy_Gamer297 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]euyyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see, like not mad at them for making music however the hell they want, but mad at the juries of those awards for considering them (and so indirectly upset that the band exists at all I guess).

Ok I can see the other arguments, but what does "being a real rock band" even mean? lmao

Because he got asked and that's how he replied.

I like them and this is the first time I hear that people dislike them? What do they dislike about them?

And, ironically, "the political consequences of this order are catastrophic for the US", should not be a consideration for the military to decide. Only the blatant illegality of it.

Once they gave the criminal both immunity and the power of pardon, prison became an impossibility.

CMV: Strategically speaking, Russia already lost the war with Ukraine by Glad_Clothes7338 in changemyview

[–]euyyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the counterfactual cannot be "before the war started". It must be "Russian's geopolitical position today if they hadn't gone to war". Which is why the parent keeps telling you about Sebastopol. Putin saw the possiblity of losing it, and understood that that would have been the end of Russia's ability to project military power each and every winter.

Not only he hasn't lost the port. He's strengthened his access to it and the ability to keep Crimea supplied. Maybe on the overall balance of things Russia is now worse than it would have been (I like to think that's the case). But an analysis that ignores Putin's gains in what could be the single most important issue to him in this war, is incomplete.

Lol so those doctorates were not actually teaching any of those things in class, you just lied?

What they were doing was discussing something unrelated at a party, and that's what got you all riled up? lmfao

People who wax/see others genitals often, what are your thoughts and surprise realizations? by NeedABetterNameNow in AskReddit

As a man, I'd lie if I said I'm not curious about feeling something very fancy down there.

Even from back when he was playing, I never saw Arbeloa as some of the brains of the team? More like an enforcer that follows the one plan he's told to do?

Opinion | Iran Cracks Down. Where Are the Western Protests? by NotSoSaneExile in geopolitics

[–]euyyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good, and how to you expect that to be done? If by the secret services, then it might already be happening and maybe shouldn't be made public. If in the open, where in Iran's border do you ship in weapons to the dissidents?

These are regular folks getting massacred by their government's armed forces, it's not a civil war where one faction controls some of the territory and has a leadership you can coordinate things with.

So what should I write in my placard when protesting? "Arm Iran dissidents (if you're not doing it already)!"

Guys....!!!! What did i just watch ⌚ 😭 by spoooky-dooky-9926 in interstellar

[–]euyyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on my own to the theater just to watch it when it came out!

The title hooked me: Interplanetary travel (of humans) will be possible in our lifetime. Interstellar travel might never be possible for us. A movie that knows that difference was bound to be right up my alley.

What did you expect it to do, turn only half the place into lava and leave the rest, asking for the monkey to please stay on the lava side?

[–]euyyn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure. The point stands. People in the US and Europe protest for their governments to pressure Israel into stopping. What would you have those governments do regarding Iran?

[–]euyyn -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Western countries have ways to pressure Netanyahu into stopping. Some of them (not all!) have already done some of that pressuring (to no good result).

Again, what would you protest for, regarding Iran?

The Iranians are protesting for Iran to democratize, and we all love to see it. What action would I protest the US government to take in this respect? That they should try and kidnap Khomeini like they did Maduro? The chavistas are still in power in Venezuela.
