MERKA BAAAHD

I literally emigrated because it’s so bad and I don’t talk like this. If you want to talk shit on America I’m right there with you, but if you’re going to pretend our food sucks you’re not invited to the cookup.

Where do you live now and how did you manage to escape? Asking for a friend.

Honestly just born a dual citizen, hardest part has been keeping my US job and calling in to west coast businesses in my evenings.

As for the destination, just the UK. Been here three years now, and still just barely getting used to it. I didn’t fit in in America either so I might as well not fit in somewhere better.

If you’ve got a college degree you can pretty easily teach English in Japan for peanuts (though still more than the minimum wage offered in 20 US states).

How does one teach English in English? Sorry if it’s a dumb question.

America is a big place. There’s some good food, but a lot of the food people eat does suck. The entire midwest or god forbid you live in one of those highway stops where your only options are fast food chains or a fast-casual chain.

McDonalds, Starbucks, and Dominoes exist because people buy that shit.

You know you can cook for your self, right? And cook outs and potlucks still exist.

So do independent restaurants. Even small towns and rural areas have them. They exist because people go there.

You clearly haven’t experienced the average person who thinks ketchup is a bit much and black pepper is too spicy
