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.~~
Flash-news.

corn does NOT belong on pizza
and corn isn't street food
fuck corn
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.
Hard disagree. Pizza can have whatever you want. And corn is delicious it all forms.
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.

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.
Women are smart, capable, and equal.
Central and West Asians really aren't ready to hear that.
neither are Yoon's little fascist youth sadly
and apparently neither are the pissy korean american boys on Reddit too
I live in west Asia and I agree :3
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.
Same shit I'd tell Americans: Germany is more than beer, lederhosen und nazi history
I agree, it's unacceptable to forget Bavarian dresses.
Your curry sucks.
No, not that other Asian country's curry. That one is really good.
YOUR curry sucks.
Why is it like that and way different from that other Asian country that tastes way better?
In a world where we think of climate change and national debt as Western worries, Asia's dirtiness is enough of an absolute eco-hazard to warrant its own kind of debt if the rest of us thought the same way.
The same rivers Rama and Krishna bathed in could today kill you, and China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there, more or less the same way sand from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon.
Well. In some way classes exist. People in some of them don't bother the smog around them, they'll just walk in masks. They also get paid less. People in other ones do. They want cleaner air, good wages, plenty of affordable goods produced by the former group for its smaller wages with all the pollution.
When I talk things about how computers of 1999 were good enough, I mean that among other things.
China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there
I think you meant to say:
"China has enough air pollution that the smog from there blows over to Los Angeles"
China is the USA of Asia.
This is supposed to be a burn against asian countries as an American in devastated 😭😭😭
