Yep. A rich country like Japan can afford some REALLY nice anti-earth quake technologies in their buildings.
In poorer countries, I would guess the government would let slide poorer building standards in favor of more people being able to afford an apartment and not being homeless.
It probably seemed to work well enough for them for a few decades so the government let it slide more and more until you see entire neighborhoods erased from the map once the strongest earthquake of the century hits. | [

Google Brazilian slums. Everyone here knows those places are probably not the safest buildings possible.
But it's not exactly popular to force 17 million people to be homeless, so if a slum gets big enough, the government just turns a blind eye to entire mini-cities being built with near zero engineering oversight, often by the "owner" owns hand. | [

Are you so ignorant that you are discounting what Russia is doing in Ukraine can easily happen to non-nato countries due to turkey fucking around? OR are you purposefully blind.
The earthquake is a horrific one-off event. War is fucking daily my guy,
No one here is discounting or diminishing how horrific what's going on in turkey is, I am simply providing a point of comparison that it is nothing compared to a war that could be easily deterred.
Additionally, I am saying that these countries aren't being petty like Turkey, they see Turkey is in need and are helping, period. No political bullshit. | [

The earthquake is a horrific one-off event. War is fucking daily my guy,
In what metric are you even trying to compare these two events? Or do you not actually realize how severe of a disaster this actually is?
No one here is discounting or diminishing how horrific what's going on in turkey is, I am simply providing a point of comparison that it is nothing compared to a war that could be easily deterred.
And while you’re saying that no one is “discounting or diminishing” this event you literally say it’s nothing compared to a war in the next sentence lmao.
The chances of Russia actually invading Sweden is near zero, a country that they share no borders with, especially with a war already going on that they’re struggling in. And even then it still is an event that hasn't even occurred, and Erdogan leveraging Turkey's position has somehow caused more damage than this earthquake that has actually happened according to you. Do you even realize how insensitive and nonsensical that is?
Additionally, I am saying that these countries aren't being petty like Turkey, they see Turkey is in need and are helping, period. No political bullshit.
I still can’t believe you’re trying to justify this point holy shit. It's a state of emergency not some political game, Turkey would do the same for Sweden as would most other countries in a similar situation. It's an event that's more than politics it's not about transcending pettiness, you can't possibly compare this to Turkey leveraging it's position in NATO about something that can potentially happen, which in all likelyhood will not happen. That doesn't excuse Erdogan's agenda, it also doesn't justify whatever the fuck you're trying to say. | [

Gish Gallop, Infamous debate tactic used by amateurs, grifters who are paid by shills, and people who only care about winning alike, the Gish Gallop is a tactic in which one person purposefully gives as many incorrect or falsely-quoted statistics as possible in a very short time frame. This forces the opponent to waste speaking time taking down endless strawmen and lies created by their opponent and is usually a sign that the utilizer is arguing in bad faith. People with scientifically/factually incorrect positions such as TERFs, Neo-Nazis, and infamously, Young Earth Creationists, often use this tactic as simply quoting reputable sources and studies is not an option.

I completely disagree. If the Democratic Party establishment did even a half-ass job of shining light on the corruption and lies of the Republican politicians, the Dems would have a descent majority in The House and a few more senate seats. Instead, they are refusing to lay it all bear and consistently point out the fascist, racist, homophobic, cruel, elitist, etc, etc, etc nature of the QOP and name it as such. Why? To be the better people? It's losing them ground where they should be gaining. | [

ChatGPT explains:
What is “the trap” referred to in the title of this article?
The "trap" referred to in the article is a potential danger for Republicans in regards to their planned hearings to dramatize the notion that the "deep state" is targeting conservatives.
The trap is that only 28% of American adults believe this notion and solid majorities of independents and moderates do not. If Democrats use this situation properly, it could prove dangerous for Republicans.
The author suggests that instead of just fact-checking Republicans, Democrats should use the hearings to show what Republicans did and the impact it had on educators. There is a danger that Republicans could define themselves as the party that speaks for "parents' rights" while maneuvering Democrats into being seen as protecting educators at the expense of parents. | [

Words are funny, we can agree on that.
But "past two decades" does not mean both "for the pasty 20 years" and "20 years ago".
You wouldn't mistake someone saying "my head has hurt for the past 2 hours" as "my head hurt two hours ago," would you?
The former is a span of time; the latter a reference to a point in time. | [
