5 billion dollars from the climate and transformation fund? Glad to see we’re really committed to using this money here to combat climate change by building semi conductor factories.

The greens have been an absolute joke in coalition. First Lüzerath and now siphoning funds from a climate fund to build parts for car production.

It is a term used to describe racists, yes. Which the vast majority of China fear-mongering is deeply rooted in.

Nukes are the reason they’re the same? India, Israel, North Korea, and Pakistan also have nukes.

Do we count disputes over territorial waters as the same as war? Are you actually serious with this question?

The Spratly Islands are China’s Afghanistan?

When was the last time China invaded anyone? Including China here is a baseless equivocation and basically yellow scare nonsense.

Saying this scenario is wildly unrealistic is not the same as saying we should bow down to Putin. It’s highly doubtful that Ukraine will even be able to restore all the territory they’ve lost since the start of the invasion, let alone get Crimea back. Sanctions haven’t been all that effective at this point either. Russia is still importing processors through middle men nations and has found perfectly willing buyers for national resources outside the West.

Expecting to subjugate the Russian economy to indentured servitude to pay reparations not only to Ukraine but to NATO? It’s just straight up not going to happen as much as we want to fantasize about it. I wouldn’t even be surprised if most of Europe begins importing Russian natural gas within a few years of the war ending again.

Russia sucks the big one. But this is straight up deluded.

And the West relies on Chinese manufacturing. All the scare mongering surrounding China, the US already would have pulled investment if they actually were the ones in control. The West has hitched its wagon to China at this point. They have no real alternative to turn towards.

Cuba didn’t achieve 98% literacy by having a country of concerned parents. They had a massive education push with basically unlimited support from the government.

Placing the responsibility of America’s failure to educate its populace on individuals is honestly kind of insidious. America needs to dedicate resources to education. Period. Their failure to do so is why so many Americans are dumber than stumps.

I honestly wouldn’t be worried about it’s application for simulating human generated comments. This stuff is only going to start sounding notably less human as it begins to train itself using ever increasing amounts of AI generated content. AI is only as “intelligent” as the input it gets for training, and it’s getting stupider shit fed into it by bot created content every second.

Nineteen is dix-neuf though. Which is literally ten-nine. 11-16 all have an equivalent word to the English “teens.” Quatorze for example instead of dix-quatre for 14.

Just started learning French only to find out you need a Bachelor’s in math just to count past 70.
