Waste food in America... Soooo good.

What the fuck lmao

That is deeply fucked up. Good job on them for cracking down on it. Everyone in burgerland would be screaming "but muh freeeeeedom".

I understand and accept it existing, I just don't understand its popularity...

Plus having people be voyeurs to plainly pathological behavior is just not helping anyone

I just imagine an Arrested Development voiceover “his victory was NOT inevitable and he was found dead less than a month later”

Hitler was malding too, like depressed and pissed off that his generals underestimated the soviet resistance.

Oh god oh fuck they have railroad logistical networks and new villages in places we hadn't even mapped!

Not to mention the problem with being a global hegemon is that you have to be the best at everything from jungle warfare, force projection across the ocean, European land wars with near-peer capabilities to 'counter insurgency' in the Middle East.

Every other military has to deal with like four or five regionally based scenarios at most.

I imagine they have moments of clarity/more realistic factions, but that's constantly undermined by "USA #1" rah rah bullshit and "those people can't possibly beat us" racism.

All American cheese is shame cheese.

Come at me, Yanks.

I'm gonna stand by my authoritarian communist Chinese decision because it helps with specifically the first 5 words of what you said.

In Japan the cooked variety is called 炙り寿司. While it's pretty common, I'd still say that raw fish and shellfish is still much more common. As far as I know aburizushi in Japan is made from the same fish that the restaurant would serve raw and its a taste preference rather than a safety issue.

Most likely not. To be honest the potential poisoning of all the children and us being criminally liable for that was kind of a deal breaker for us, so we did not really get into the nutrients.

Definitely not; we don't eat it that often even in Japan. While yes we have fast food variants of sushi that are readily available; it's overall more of a special dinner/occasion type food. I probably eat sushi once every couple months.

The only thing I could see being included in a lunch is something like inari-zushi, my office serves that as a side dish lunch a lot (which would get around the food safety concerns). We have chiraishi zushi at the office specifically on Girl's Day, because it is a holiday thing.

An elementary school might have something similar on holidays, but generally the school menus are planned by a nutritionist on staff that does a pretty good job. It gets tricky for kids with special diets, which are often not well accomodated, and there is a weird obsession with milk despite the prevalance of lactose intoelrance.

EDIT: We have a massive food waste problem too, so we are no better in that regard, but at least our school lunches are pretty good.

No, it wasn’t the worst famine in history, and Mao didn’t personally cause it. China had horrible famines every few years for Millennia, the fact that it happened once under socialism can’t be attributed to socialism. China hasn’t had any famine since, so historically Socialism has done a lot to end famine.

Isn't it funny how yankees will accuse anyone they've got an existential enmity with of "causing" a "genocidal" drought like these OPFOR are like-- mystical 9th level shamans that can just point at the land and say "wither"? While we're on the subject, if the droughts of Mao's time were a genocide, then shouldn't you really ought to consider the Dust Bowl one too?

Idk how much of that was Big Evil Mao telling people to kill the Four Pests and how much of that was the lingering consequences of a 40 year long Japanese genocidal occupation, brutal civil war, and attendant refugee crises. But if you're really interested in what farm life during the era of Chinese Revolution looked like, there's an excellent historical documentary called "Fanshen" that details the day-to-day life in Long Bow Village from '45 to '48 during the land-reform campaign.

relative to Mao's famine (if we blame every action to Mao) then India was having frequent famines and droughts which caused millions of deaths , misery and poverty .

I believe that was Stalin and his comically-large spoon.

FR though, read into these famines a bit closer. It sounds like your sources may have passed over some of the context surrounding these famines.
