@planefag It helps to use a fattier cut of meat. Or some chicken skin also helps, collagen firms up the liquid

@michaelflux @LavenderGhast All the triggered Christians in this thread are hilarious, but the truth is that the Romans couldn't have industrialized, the incentives weren't there. It was a miracle that the industrial revolution started in the first place. The set of conditions necessary were hyper-specific

@Finntrevor5486 It's a mosh pit. He wanted to mosh!

@Scratch_Point_Z I'm Japanese and I think it's embarrassing. Yes don't sit on the floor or litter, but isn't it shameful you don't provide people with chairs or garbage cans? What if I went to your house and there's no where to put trash or sit down? It's so embarrassing.

@hEEU5D It's crazy that you don't mention fentanyl. That's the drug that has destroyed the lives of millions of Americans. It's much worse than heroin for a variety of reasons. It's legal for use in Japan too.

@schmittychan @EvilAssMage its not appropriation its just cringe. which is worse.

@biscat_neko @real_eigo_ You have to try much harder to look bad in America. Even going out with a basic Uniqlo outfit, people think you're dressed for some occasion.

[blablabla @mwallin00]

@pkfire1013 @real_eigo_ No not really. Asian people are seen more positively than other minority groups in general. I think though if you start speaking Chinese, there's a minority of Americans who might look down on you. But generally people are friendly and accepting.

[blablabla @mwallin00]

@_onodela It's because overseas, people don't place as much value in their self-worth as they do in Japan. This can be a bad thing or a good thing depending on how you see it. It's just my opinion but..
I think if you believe your value is defined by your appearance, it's not so healthy.

@Hayden_TsuM @macha3142 There were many, many more Chinese immigrants than Japanese ones.

@minnazidane10 My parents have traveled all over the world their entire lives. They're in their 70s now and still doing it. Refusing to engage with the world with openness and curiosity is a choice, not an inevitability.

@YyRkyWcF251714 @YuriMunchkin It depends on how much money you make. For an extremely high earner, the US can't be beat for taxes. But if you're a middle income or low income worker, taxes are high for you, like 50%

@tsuji_tosh96494 @YuriMunchkin This is an illegal drug market in Seattle's city center, where the original poster lives. These people go out into the city to steal things to sell for drugs. Is there anywhere in Japan like this now?

[blablabla @mwallin00]

@Niziusukides @YuriMunchkin The open space and nature are the true upsides in the US, but it's the other humans that are the problem. People don't respect each other or their surroundings, they're like children.

[blablabla @mwallin00]

@StocksExtr35612 @YuriMunchkin @RealtyPnw He's glossing over things. He lives in Seattle. It's extremely expensive place to live and not as safe as Japan at all. There's more freedom, but as a cost, no one likes to follow the rules.

[blablabla @mwallin00]

@YuriMunchkin @star_cross Everything in Seattle is 3-4x the price of anything in japan. I've lived in Seattle for most of my life and what you say is true (except for safety) the CoL basically negates all these things.
You pay $400 for water/sewer
$3000 a year for car insurance
$150 per trip for groceries

@mamono_ @kaztsu Daikoku PA is just full of foreigners and tourists now. It's the same as Akihabara. There's no escape.
