Lots of interesting stuff baked into this one. Personally I really enjoy the bitching about the cashier who weighs the vegetables as if slow checkout lines don't exist in the west

    Ah yes, China has a working mass transit system that promotes social mobility and fights against climate change, but what about all these tiny inconveniences?

    I'm genuinely confused about what the point about phone operating systems is even supposed to mean.

      I guess "Chinese phones suck because they have inferior software" meanwhile every app on my phone siphons 20% of the battery every time you open it and requires access to your camera, photos, contacts, location, notes, and the music app because why not

      but what about all these tiny inconveniences?

      even those inconveniences are made up. Traffic lights in the US suck, and I live in a densely populated northeastern area

      I go to Texas, the grass looks dead and white (lol) even though it's April. In California, it will be literally impossible to touch grass within 2 decades. Meanwhile every part of China is getting greener.

      keep malding indeed.

          yes, but that ruins the "durr I need to see grass" argument

          tbh I would bet Chinese people see more greenery on average, since literally 98% of their population lives in very water-rich areas. It's just that they don't privately own as much green land--what a tragedy.

            As we all know nature is only pleasant when you own it and it's hyper suppressed to look like the shittiest lawn in europe
