The joke is on the Brazilian. We don't beat dead dogs in the US. We get cops to shoot the living dogs, because they're "scared".

Do Brazilians have worker's rights?

Don't forget mass shootings!

Brazil has >3x the murder rate of the US. I get that dunking on the US is super fun but theres a gulf separating the two countries

why not, they forget mass shootings immediately after they happen.

NOTHING!

absolutely nothing happened more than 250+ times this year so far, 70+ times this month and 5 times this week alone, even though the week has barely started..

nothing happened, everything is fine, move along.

I know a chick who moved here from Brazil when she was 18 or 19. She moved away a couple of years ago at 35 and is a lot happier for doing so.

It's ok I wouldn't move to Brazil either

angry noises over barbeque, cheesebread, good coffee, carnaval and violent crimes

That’s why I don’t travel to the US even though I’ve only been to Hawaii so far. Food is a huge problem, either you poison your body with chemicals or you’ll have the most stressful time of the day eating because of the waiter nagging you every two minutes if you like your food or want anything. Because they think that constitutes “good service”. No other country’s restaurant culture is like this, wtf??

either you poison your body with chemicals

One huge reason why I'm considering getting out. My immune system is very angry because of this.

nagging you every two minutes

I make no apologies for anyone on this: we lost our way. My best guess is that at some point, we had this down pat by bringing a "touch of class" to dining establishments through emulating servant culture of the early 1900's. This is well portrayed in costume drama as near-psychic level ability to anticipate the diner's (master's) needs in a well-choreographed experience. That only works if you can anticipate people through a long-term working relationship, or diners have very well-rehearsed table manners. I think it got corrupted over time as a lot of this fell out fashion, and what we're left with is diners that are wholly unpredictable and wait staff that have no idea what they're emulating.

Local Korean restaurants around town brought their dining culture with them, and it's loads better. Wait staff have their head on a swivel from the waiter's station, but only engage when flagged down. This is immeasurably more pleasant.

Seriously I'm here to spend money. My drink being empty is waste on your business' part. For a minute or two, sure.
