Top officials in Washington and and Seoul say the sticking point for an agreement continues to be the logistics behind Trump’s demand that South Korea invest $350 billion in the United States.

Korean officials say a direct cash injection could destabilize their economy, and they’d rather do loans and loan guarantees instead. The country would also need a swap line to manage the flow of its currency into the U.S.

The disparity between what Trump is asking for and what South Korea can deliver threatens to overshadow the meeting between Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Gyeongju, a historical city playing host to the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

I don't really know what constitutes a conspiracy theory. Diamonds in wedding rings are essentially worthless, yet people still pay exorbitant amounts for them. So, I guess I'll leave it to personal judgment.

It would seem logical to name them for where they are and what they do. "Bathroom motion sensor", "Bedroom lamp", etc. However, I've found that, if it can move, it ends up moving sooner or later. My "bathroom" motion sensor is now in the upstairs family room, for example.

I’m interested in developing the skill to estimate probabilities for real-world situations. What are the best ways to learn this systematically? Are there books, courses, or exercises that teach probabilistic thinking, Bayesian reasoning, or practical forecasting skills?

I want to check this math and see if the AI is gaslighting me.

I don't have a Reddit account but every day, Popular has a bunch of subreddits in a different language, Indian subreddits, or weird smut.

Thought it was just me since I'm not logged in.

In retrospect, I should apologize for posting such a shitty article from such a shitty source. I did it for the laughs.

Hey all. Getting right to it:

Last November, a majority of my wife's family voted trump. I immediately made known my disgust and that I had no interest in maintaining relationships with any of them. My wife is equally appalled, but family is important to her and she chooses to compartmentalise it for the sake of their relationships. That's her call. Typically, her mother comes to stay at our house for an extended period as we live far away, and this year I tolerated her being here for the sake of my wife.

But now, thinking about the next visit and how bad things have gotten, I can't even stand the thought of having her in my house, let alone being in the same room as her. I really don't want her here at all, but I will again tolerate her for my wife's sake. However I think it's likely that I will make myself pretty scarce during that time.

So the ethics question is - given that I expressed my distaste after the election but still remained cordial, is it ok, ethically speaking, to become more resentful as the consequences of their actions become more apparent? Or, given that what has happened since is pretty much out of everyone's hands, am I locked in to the level of hostility I showed immediately after?

I guess the distilled version is - a person does X, I express disapproval. Is it ethical to express MORE disapproval as additional unforeseen consequences of X become apparent?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Edit to Clarify - My mother in law is not MAGA and I don't think she's enjoying any of it. She thinks we can "just not talk about it" and everything will be fine. However she has become more racist and judgemental (anti-trans etc) in recent years. Hates Joe Biden and Kamal Harris but can't or won't say why. Thanks for the responses so far and I'll try to respond, but I'm about to start work shortly.

I mean poisoning can be immediately detected, how do you even detect prions. Such a terrorist can murder a lot of people before ever getting caught, right?

Sorry if this sound stupid lol

Unfortunately the Community European Politics has ended. I send a message to the mod but have no response, so I think it's over. Too bad though, I like reading & discussing European geopolitics, which isn't really possible here afaik. In the older days when Alberto was Mod, everything was ok. But then it split into Yurop for memes, European Politics, and the European Federalists. Well if anyone knows where to discuss Politics please let me know. #E
