>This clearly surprises you. It is indeed shocking: that's how far the USA has fallen, globally , in only a year or so. No, I'm the one who brought up this topic of how Europeans h…

Let's not extend this beyond the European opinion, especially since it's obvious that East Asia does not share the same point of view. East Asia and Europe have very different thre…

The other poster mentioned the opinions about the US and China being multi-faceted, I like to see it with vectors. My question is, given all the vectors, can you provide an average…

>This is not a scalar, it is a multi-dimensional array with tons of values that all individually can be ranked. One some of these the USA is better than China on others it is defin…

Yeah I can see that. The other poster is right about it being multi-faceted. My question is intentionally somewhat provocative. It forces someone to pick between two bad options, a…

The reply chain got too long so I will respond here. >You seem to be completely out of touch with the way the USA has been behaving towards the EU as of late, maybe get with the ti…

>Why do I have to prefer one over the other? I don't like the way either is behaving on the world stage, and each for different reasons. This is the perfect encapsulation of what I…

Does this mean the person I'm responding to is a Russian disinfo agent?

Would you say we're worse than China these days (if so, what % of the time did China help Ukraine in the conflict)?

This sentiment is very popular in Europe. From the perspective of the American, it's like, help was offered for 90% of the time in the Ukraine conflict, then we took a break and su…

I've always been skeptical of happiness statistics. In many cases, self-reporting happiness offers an objective floor for happiness, but the ceiling is entirely relative/subjective…

Another point of irony: Elon was tasked with "draining" the swamp and the left immediately goes to burn Teslas.

There is a lot of anti-American sentiment on HN and Reddit. You may think it a bit ironic, but maybe the "YCombinator" part takes a back seat to "Hacker News".

Looks like the EU can just get a feature flag to use pagination or a "Load More" button? Doesn't seem as big of a deal as enforcing USB-C. Though if it applies to the YouTube, seem…

I don't know why I still lurk on what is essentially r/politicsandtech.

Chinese bases would certainly be the quickest way for all Canadians to gain US citizenship overnight.

A good benchmark would be how long the west remains mad at Russia for invading Ukraine.

People don't discuss how people walk in daily conversation, so it's a word primarily encountered in literature, and more common in specific types of literature (like romance novels…

It's interesting how this sounds like projection to me as well, from the perspective that China does export their ideology. Your post itself seems to be a form of that, whether you…

Seems about as important as knowing FRG = West Germany, and GDR/DDR = East Germany in the 20th century.

>Do you not believe the GOP eliminating SNAP, medicare, and social security will lead to the deaths of millions of Americans? I would suggest not equating libertarian policies with…
