We’re going broad with this one given the population and the size.

China: Stop trying to make the mandate of heaven happen. It's not going to happen.

Japan: If you're worried about population decline, maybe you should be less shitty to foreigners who want to live there.

Korea: Your music industry is uncomfortably close to slavery. And despite America's best efforts, you still have the closest thing to a government owned by corporations.

Southeast Asia in general: I am sorry you are stuck being the Middle East of the Far East.

Addition to the above, since someone pointed out that my Korea comment appears to assume a South Korean default:

Best Korea: Your ~~music~~ industry is uncomfortably close to slavery. And despite America's best efforts, you still have ~~the closest thing to~~ a government ~~owned by corporations.~~

corn does NOT belong on pizza

and corn isn't street food

fuck corn

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 3 points 6 hours ago

and corn isn’t street food

I disagree. Corn in Mexico definitely works as a street food. Also, I just realized this, but I wonder why corn didn't pick up as street food in Chicago and Indianapolis.

It is when it's elote.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 18 hours ago

Hard disagree. Pizza can have whatever you want. And corn is delicious it all forms.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 1 points 13 hours ago

Corn on those Asian buns though.

You work too much. Your work quality suffers because of it. Studies have shown the optimum amount of time to do serious mental work in a day is less than half of how much you all work since childhood cram schools.

You folks are just as racist, sexist, and bigoted as Oklahoma.

Same shit I'd tell Americans: Germany is more than beer, lederhosen und nazi history

I agree, it's unacceptable to forget Bavarian dresses.

My hot take: saving face and thinking that winning by cheating is the same as winning are toxic culture traits

BREAD DOESN'T NEED TO BE SWEET. Please. Especially not cheese toast.

Asian here, I came in thinking there was nothing I could read that would hurt. Then, first comment.

Some of ya'll are the most racist people and China is, like, the Texas of Asia. I think of people living in China the same way I think of people living in North Korea: How horrific, I wish them luck.

Also, WTF South Korea. All I hear is how sexist and fucked up you are. I don't hear anything good about living there, and the fact that some of those cheabols haven't been assassinated yet is beyond me.

About South Korea and bigotry - is it really worse than Japan?

Improving your driving license quality would save so much money by reducing worker deaths.

Central and West Asians really aren't ready to hear that.
