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.~~

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.

Corn on those Asian buns though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago

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

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

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