The only people framing the geopolitical relationship with the EUas part of this so called chess match is you.

You never did present that evidence I asked for by the way. So we are done here.

Because India needs oil. A lot of it and for cheap. India is also buying US weapons and phasing out Russian ones.

It’s almost like India is a country with its own interests and doesn’t treat the world as one giant chess match between Russia and the US.

You know. Like Latin America.

Where’s indias aid to Russia?

And it’s politics. The power of words is immense.

There’s a vast gap between “dog shit” and “good” though. Mediocre or Acceptable being an examples. Which is my point, if you don’t know the language you don’t know a good performance from a mediocre one from an average one or a good one.

I’m gonna point back to the example earlier. Non English speakers watching Star Wars in English even though the performances and dialogue were widely mocked w

So find a single quote of the Latin American countires opposing the text as written had a thing to do with nato. You can’t.

You do realize the majority of these exact same states (including India, who you listed as supporting the war. What?) have already condemned the war at the UN. So no, it’s not as simple as pro us and anti us. Countires do indeed have interests beyond america or Russia and indeed do have bilateral concerns.

Just because you can’t see the world through anything but the US lense doesn’t mean the rest of the world can’t. And just because you think Latin America should have every action they take be shaped by their relationship with the u tied states doesn’t mean they think that.

So unless you can actually put up some evidence rather than your wild conjecture I’m afraid I’m done here.

No, you can’t. Intonation and tone is very different in different languages.

And sounding emotional is not the same thing as good acting, for example over delivery is a thing. Something you could not tell without speaking the language. Acting is a lot more than sounding emotional. Good acting is even more than that

I’ve never seen such a desperate attempt to twist a really bad take into viability before.

No it is not the same as expensive brand of phone you buy.

And if that what it was supposed to be then it’s even dumber than I thought. Participation in the political brand would be voting. Which young people mostly don’t do. Hence the thread.

In real life young people are not buying the brands of politics they don’t like. They are the exact opposite of the the person complaining about apple from their iPhone while wearing their AirPods.

So it still doesn’t apply.

Also go back, and reread it again. Said it doesn’t require an iPhone. Not that it doesn’t require phones.

You definitely are since the US only pays about 16% of NATOS budget. Which is a smaller percentage than what the US pays to the UN peace keeping forces.

You…..do know that NATOs budget is not the same things as NATO combined military spending right?

And also irrelevant since the EU is not NATO. They share members they do not have identical membership.

Purchasing the iPhone was a choice though. It tools more energy effort and money to do than to not do. So again, not comparable to the country you are born in.

What happened to forced participation you harped on earlier.

Sure you can buy it and complain but a valid question remains “Well why’d you buy it”. And instead of answering this question and trying (and failing) to hide behind the lie that you were Forced to.

A very quick pivot from your previous argument or forced participation.

I hope the young folks do devolope mutual aid networks and arm themselves. Since that’s….you know actually doing something about a scenario they didn’t choose.

Whereas the most effective action about apple policies is buying a different brand.

My god you can’t even understand the point I’m making is the examples where terrible not that the point was wrong.

Yeah but no one’s forced into owning an iPhone, let alone AirPods.

The only one forced is the serf.

Hence the meme fails to say anything. Willful participation(buying apple products) is not the same as forced participation. Nothing is stopping you from buying a third party headphones. Modern life might demand cell phone access, but it doesn’t demand an apple product. Let alone an apple accessory for that apple Product.

The level the meme wants to operate at (deep unavoidable participation in unfair systems) falls apart because it only provided one actual example of that. Hell at least use something like nestle which is so ubiquitous you can actually consume it without being aware. But no one is accidentally buying AirPods. No one is forced to buy AirPods. Apple phones still connect to any Bluetooth headphone.

It’s yet another example of some one mocking faux deep thought while engaging in it.

Worked out so well in getting us a conservative dominated SC and has had consequences that will last a generation but sure, why not do it again

Yes, because the suffering of a serf with literally no option, and the observation of a consumer on a new and unrefined product is the same as someone buying the most trendy brand consumer product with variable alternatives….

I don’t think people without first world problems were buying AirPods and iPhones to begin with.

Ok maybe I’m misunderstanding the ban but the book isn’t transmitting data is it?

I thought the TikTok ban was based on who has access to the data, not that the data exists.

I’m pretty certain transcribing confidential information into a book and calling it free speech wouldn’t circumvent the laws restricting access to that info.

And yet is much more directly impacted by, and involved in, the situation in Ukraine and you know, it was a direct exchange between those two parties and referencing those two parties and not the US.

You’ve got a bad case of American on the brain. You hate the topic but can’t change the subject.

Ive got collective thousands of hours in paradox titles. The good dlcs (and there are trash ones I haven’t bought) adds dozens of hours of playtime. They also keep the mod community active which adds hundreds more.

It seems expensive but 10-20 bucks every few months is reasonable to me.

My bigger issue is some of them are starting to feel very paytowin with the feature/power creep (compare vanilla Russia/Ottomans in EUIV to dlc versions for an example)

How can you know if the delivery is better if you don’t even know which words are being inflected upon, if they are being said awkwardly, so on and so forth.

That you use Star Wars kinda cements the point. The prequels were infamous for their odd dialogue and stilted deliveries.

It’s not that the voice acting or delivery is better; it’s that you can’t tell the difference because you don’t know what it should sound like.

The most fun I ever had with a MGS game was watching someone else play it.

Big powers like the entire EU? You know. Who the article was about.

Which doesn’t make make them the center of latin American reasoning. Geopolitics is more complicated than that. NOr is their anything in the article to imply anything of the sort.
