Stuck between living in America, China, or Japan... Which would you choose?
America
- Good pay
- Bigger Houses
- Free internet
- Not an ethnostate
- Nice/open people
- Nice Nature
- Public Respect (somewhat)
- While the chances are low, shootings and police/ICE violence is not 0%
- Universities, really good if not best (as an academic)
China
- Clean, Major cities are clean but more polluted and trashed than other two
- Ethnostate, forever an outsider
- Increasingly difficult internet.
- Nice/open people
- Safe Society
- Universities, pretty mid to bad at best unless its top
Japan
- Cleanest
- Ethnostate, forever an outsider, but not being stared at or random photos like in China
- Free internet
- Nice Nature
- Public Trust
- Public Respect
- Safe Society
- Universities, pretty mid to bad at best unless its top three
I feel forever trapped between these three countries with family, languages, culture, and religion. Very lost on which to pursue for my career. A recent trip to China has made me very much feel not China. I cannot stand the staring, photo taking making me feel like I'm a zoo animal, even more so for my child. But it is nice and pay can be decent. I also really like Chinese people and culture.
America has a lot of good, but I'm so sick of having to be stressed about its politics and the culture of violence. I do love the nature, individual freedom, and academic (tho the recent not being able to comment on Israel has been insane).
Japan is great on the surface but subtle racism, bad pay, and trump-copy cat prime minister is concerning. Committing to China or especially Japan over the US is fucking my family financially if we want to visit family in the other two countries.
Side note, I love being fluid between three cultures but not having a stable home in one place is somewhat exhausting.
Another random thought is America is actually so comfortable compared to China or Japan when it comes to being yourself.
Edit: why is everyone being pedantic or getting upset over one word rather than just answer lmao
Edit 1: I asked deepseek, just for fun, and it said Japan, Singapore, or Taiwan then it censored itself lmao

What the hell goes on during the ten month that ruins sleep?
What do you host for your finances and why!
Inspired by a comment on my last post.
I feel like I never have a solution that allows me to control it while also being automated to such a degree that I don’t have a huge confusing backup if I don’t do finances for days or weeks.
Your favorite lesser known docker container?
Mine is beaverhabits, just a good habit app that has come out recently.
I prefer trilium but need an offline first option for mobile notetaking...
Any options?
Thanks for all the alternatives. I’m also asking if there’s anyway to edit trillium on my phone when my server is offline… guess not?
Why does this instance have kind of a lame data retention policy...?
"We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible."
