Nobody is going to watch your youtube video, just type the relevant info.
Thats nearly as obnoxious as dumping AI slop into a discussion.

I have had some sucess pointing out the USSR was tracking it and would love nothing more than to call out the US if they had faked it.

Japan has made baby steps, while they still wrap individual bananas, many stores charge for a plastic bag, discouraging use.
The younger folk here in Cambodia seem to care about the environment, old folks just throw trash wherever.

You missed the point of the question entirely. Are you just playing dumb here?

Teach the kids to use a scooter properly, all across asia children ride electrics without incident, but I am constantly hearing how dangerous they are back in America where barely anyone rides scooters.

Drug use is a social problem. If I offered you a huge bag of fentanyl for free right now, would you take it? What conditions in your life would make you more likely to accept it? Lets address the things which cause those conditions for other people.

I will pick those up next time I’m in Japan. I don’t smoke, but everyone else in asia does, I found foreign cigerettes make a good gift if someone helps me and it would be weird to give money.

You put your credit card into wechat/alipay and you can use weixin pay.
You can get a local number for like 1USD/month for receiving sms.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 1 week ago:
Thats my point; communists always side with the weak, the notion that communists simply want to obtain power is silly.

What better way to aquire power than siding with the masses against the powerful?

Their working class is in a meat grinder to an extent I haven’t seen anywhere else
You’ve never been to a global south country I take it?
China has a lot further to go to reach parity with the first world, but its nowhere near as bad as it was even 20 years ago when you could see videos of children working inside machine presses.

Ginger, garlic, soysauce, brown sugar.
You flavor a neutral oil with the ginger and garlic (don’t burn), add the brown sugar, caramelize, add water or mirin or cooking wine slowly until desired thickness. You can do cornstarch slurry to dilute the flavor while maintaining the thickness.

What and marinara sauce isn’t Italian? Mapo tofu isn’t chinese? Modern sushi isn’t japananese?

What if you lowered prices further?
- Comment on This bookstore wraps all books in plastic. 2 weeks ago:
I went to another book store, and only 90% of the books were wrapped in plastic, so I guess its just a Cambodia, Taiwan, and Philippines thing. Weird part is that I never saw it in Vietnam or China.

You really want to throw stones from the UK?

I like her posts, snapshots into someone leading a more interesting life than mine are nice.

If you know a guy with a truck, and you know another guy who needs a guy with a truck, you wouldn’t connect them?

Sometimes I notice I do that on my motorcycle when coasting my motorbike backwards down curbs into traffic. I look before I start backing out so I haven’t been flattened yet.

Huh I guess nothing should be done to improve society then.
- Comment on Cool Japan 🌸 3 weeks ago:
Most westerners don’t care about racism beyond its utility to attack something they already don’t like. Same with homophobia. How much “tactical homophobia” did we just see against Lindsey Graham by people who probably think they’re allies because they don’t like a lot of people who are hostile to LGBT+?
- Comment on Anon orders food 3 weeks ago:
systematic problems come from the choices of individuals.
You can’t fix a systemic problem by just saying “stop being assholes”, you can fix a systemic problem by fixing the systemic issue. For example, increasing rent and lowering wages increases homelessness. Telling people to work harder doesn’t decrease homelessness, building rent-controlled housing and increasing minimum wage does.

Shaken has little bits of ice and is slightly aerated.
Do you expect Bond to test how effectively his martini breaks down hydrogen peroxide?
- Comment on The Dangers of Socialism they warned us about... 3 weeks ago:
I rarely see criticism of actual misdeeds, mostly vague “USSR bad” and shit either made up or taken wildly out of context, both of which serve no purpose but to attack all of socialism’s principles.
This is the equivalent of starting every conversation involving Israel with “Do you condemn Hamas??!”; even if Hamas is imperfect, condemning them in the context of resisting Israel is condemning resistance to genocide.
- Comment on Anon orders food 3 weeks ago:
It’s not useful to look at a systemic problem and go “Well obviously those are just dumb bad no good individuals and nothing can be done”.
