Traveling has taught me one thing. No place is perfect. No matter where you go, you are just trading around the pros and cons

"Why play with 300 hundred ping?" Any south american: "You guys are getting two digit pings?"

i belive that if you think that a country is perfect then you probably need to learn more about the country.

Me in my 3rd World country laughing at these "issues".

UK: my internet sucks! Australia: hold my beer Latin America: *cries in pain*

I’ll never forget my friend going on a job in California and me getting a text from him saying he ordered pizza for delivery and then ordered Skyrim for Switch off Amazon now and wanted to see which would arrive first. The future is now. Also, Skyrim won.

Under 100 ping: “I’ll just text you bro.”

Me living in a Third World country in South America: that doesn't sound that bad

man now i feel bad for being annoyed at buses in germany being late 2 minutes

“This has been the longest time in my life without flying somewhere” *subtle flex*

A bus is never late, nor is it early, it arrives precisely when it means to.

*"There's no perfect place to live"* *Zombies:* that's why we're dead

Me: "-Wow Amazon delivers IN THE SAME WEEK in my country!!! this is the future, this is revolutionarie" Trash taste boyz: "Yeah same day delivery sometimes I order drinks from Amazon and it arrives a hour later"

True but people are perhaps a tad bit too naive in their thinking of a utopia and that Japan is that

America's alright. *looks outside, sees it's on fire* ...Australians, how it going for you? *Australians looking outside, literally on fire:* "...It could be better."

Philippines just laughing at everyone arguing about having the worst internet while Filipinos are still living in early 2000s Modem speed in 2020

Me living in a third world country: People complain about these things, this sounds like luxury to me 😂

Package delivery in Japan is insane! I recently moved and ordered a washer and refrigerator on Amazon. I scheduled it to arrive at 1pm. They literally arrived and phoned me at 1pm on the dot. They then proceeded to unbox and install both my fridge and washer, for no charge. Absolutely amazing.

As a brazilian who`s lived for a while in Sydney, I had never seen a public transportation that worked so well before. Everytime the buses and trains were on time, maybe a little bit late, but sure never like here, where we just gotta hope something comes within one hour of the expected

This is nothing.. South Africa (Cape Town), I've waited over 2 hours for busses.

As a Colombian, I know that buses never have schedules anywhere, scheduled buses are a myth. You just go to the stop (if it's one if the "good buses") and wait until one that works for you shows up. If it's one of the crappy buses you just walk out and grab it wherever you are standing

Colombian here (latino), some bad stuff here without getting political: Buses don't have schedules, you just go to the “station”, which is basically a big bench with a roof if it's fancy and be lucky the one you need arrives. Wifi is garbage because what they do is they give you a extremely bad rooter, and then you have to pay for another device so you get better WiFi. Buying stuff online is difficult because of scams, stuff like amazon and sites like that don't really exists, if you buy something from there you spend more money on the delivering than what the product was worth. Everything imported is hella expensive, for reference, a Switch Light here is the same price as a normal Switch in USA. Yeah, thank you for reading my Ted Talk.

I’ll trade Japan problems with Jamaica any day.

Americans listening to the issues like "this isn't normal?" I live in the same state as the amazon headquarters and I still have to wait 1-2 weeks for my amazon packages even though they say its 2 day shipping.

300 ping? THOSE ARE ROOCKY NUMBERS! Try playing among us at 3000 ping or warframe at 10000, The dark side of the ping is a path to many abillities one would consider.... unnatural

For me it's a bit difficult. On the one hand, barely any socialising, constant fear and sub-zero weather. On the other hand, penguins. So anyway penguins win.

Joey ".4 in upload" Me cries in South African internet Australian average with 73.58 Mbps compared to South Africa's avarge download of 10.1 Mbps and upload of 6.1 Mbps. South Africa also uses copper wires but because people keep stealing the wires the largest internet service provider is trying to go wireless but it's not working well and as for ping most games I can play online give me 999 ping

_I don't know what you mean_ _I live perfectly fine as a weeb in my room_

All these Amazon struggles while there is me who lives 10 minutes away from the Headquarters in Arlington

100% agreed. You're always sacrificing something, you just have to decide what's most important to you

friendship ENDED with 200 ping now 300 ping is BEST friend

singapore has single digit pings in many games and we have a pretty reliable public transport system, but the price of houses and cars are fucking insane

Buses in Thailand doesn't have schedules. You could just wait there for hours, in Bangkok.

"There's NO Perfect Place to Live" Me, as a 3rd worlder: Nah, I'm pretty sure Western Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are perfect. Although to be fair, the internet Connor and Joey described is pretty bad.

People who live in the AoT world: _bruh, you're telling me._

The busses thing is absolutely normal in Poland, I just got really used to the schedule being a rough estimate that it doesn't really bother me anymore. Also there used to be shit loads of jokes about how you don't know if the one coming is first one being really late or next one being early.

The bus not stopping in your bus stop that’s here Edmonton Canada, I’ve experienced that twice; the first one was when I was in high school, luckily my high school is a 20-30 minute walk, and snowed pretty heavily, so I wasn’t really looking forward to walking through all that snow, if not I would’ve been late; the second time is when I was going to work, but this time my work is really far away, that I actually needed that bus. So I just phoned my supervisor tell her, I’m going to be a little bit late, thankfully she was very understanding supervisor.

As a Polish, I really appreciate InPost solution for deliveries (Paczkomat, I can explain in case someone's curious). And with transport... train will be late, during rush hours bus schedule in a city is pure fiction, trams are a bit better unless there are traffic jams on narrow streets, wrongly parked cars or derailings. And don't go near stadiums on matchday. Or outside during a derby day. On a positive note, free state universities which are better than private if you were good enough on a school-leaving exam

I seriously have to tell my siblings to get their phones off of the WiFi just to play an online game, I’ve shot up to 20,000 ping before and the entire console just crashed. No questions asked, just crashed the entire console. I usually have around 200-300 ping and I see that as good

In the Philippines... You guys have transport? Jokes aside. I grew up walking a mile just to go to school

Watching this before I roll my gacha in genshin impact.

I remember playing online with some friends. We were on VC and as time passed on while we were waiting in the lobby, our laughs got louder and louder because my ping just kept rising and rising (you can see everyone's ping). At first it was 300 then 700 until it peaked at 1500.

« Get off your phone! » Heard that yesterday, not even kidding. And we still have copper wires. I live in the past.

everything has their own shit, it's only a matter of how prominent that shit is and how much are you willing to put up with it

At least you have timetables for your bus joey. Where i live it's more of a wait and hope that the line/s you use will arrive in time though on weekdays as long as you go early most people make it. Edit: I still don't have fucking amazon

2:38 You have a timetable for buses? Here in Brazil buses pass whenever they want, if they want and they dont have the concept of 'full'

i had dial up internet until like a year ago then they took away the phone line so had to get wifi thing haha

Meanwhile here in the Philippines: "Filipinos are paying one of the most expensive, but slowest Internet services in the world"

Philippines : internet is soo slow that i thought time's stop

Thank you! I’ve lived internationally since I was 8 and I’m 20 now. The biggest thing that I learned over my life is that nowhere is perfect to live.

If you start moving, you will constantly move because you will miss someting or be in discomfort with someting

Back in Melbourne they categorized train that is 8 mins late as 'on time'.

Rural German busses: Oh? you wanna get to the next city which is 10 minutes drive? Better call the busdriver and wait 2 hours.

0:36 So Garnt fly's somewhere every 8 months? That's crazy to me

Meanwhile I just want to live somewhere where the internet connection is good enough.

5:50 so thats fucking why max always used ebay to check his Pokémon cards

Wow I've never had these problems. In the States, at least where I live, if a package is delivered and your not there, they just leave it at your door. I've never had a pick up window situation. Furthermore, I have prime and my packages arrive anywhere from the day I ordered it to sometime in the next 2 or 3 days.

1:30 Love how Connor talks about copper wire like it's some ancient shit from medieval times, meanwhile here in Germany it's still over 50% of our network infrastructure. I've been there for the better part of my life, and I would rather live of bread and water and sleep on the floor than goping back to the days of (not even stable) 3 Mbit/s download. No joke, when it comes to the network, Germany is a 3rd world country in a lot of areas.

Earth is no place for living

This reminds me of Ronny Chieng's Amazon skit LOL

Trash Taste: "There's NO Perfect Place to Live" Me: *Laugh's in Kiwi*

Living in Ottawa, Canada. Pros: We have an Amazon distribution center in town, lots of government jobs, not much crime, clean city relatively, all services are available, you can live in the country and commute into town, our river is eventually connected to the ocean if you wanna own a boat. Cons: Our transportation system is a joke, nothing to do other than sit at home, it's either a frigid hellscape or it's the surface of the sun with 150% humidity, it takes hours to get to Montreal or Toronto other than that you're talking days by car or an entire day by plane to get anywhere in North America, if you want to go outside of NA then you're talking thousands of dollars, hours on a plane, and multiple connecting flights, the weather sucks ass so the there is little outdoor shopping, it's all depressing malls. Basically if you want a stable job and a decent house in the suburbs to raise a family, great place. If you're young and you want to have a social life and go out and do things, eat at restaurants, visit attractions, it's shit. It's also shit if you want to travel anywhere because you need to fly and need to connect through other cities, so you lose a full day flying there, and another back, and it costs a lot.

Australia does have amazon but its like almost worse than ebay it takes like 4 days longer than it says

Living in the middle of Canada, I haven't had a package delivered in under a week EVER. I have prime too, and my last package took 8 business days. My internet is great tho so I guess that's the trade off

Philippines Internet speed kinda sucks sometimes too especially if you are not wifi and you are using data. People here pay expensive a mount of cash to have a good internet speed especially for work and school.

annnnd that's why when I went to college I rented an apartment instead of a shared house. At the same time it wasn't that costy since it wasn't a big city , about 400$ CAD per month , Electricity included.

Where is my imaginary portal to Otaku world, i need it...

Amazon in America-schedule we never hear of that

Okay

You have to experience the bad to appreciate the good! I miss traveling and not just that, we have a lot of state border closures in Australia (I live in NSW where Joey's family is I think) so I can't travel to other states. Sydney's transport is a bit better now... in most areas! We now have aps that track the train and buses so you know when the bus / train is coming. The people from the UK tell me it's a lot better than London and Melbourne. I used to complain about Sydney and had a lot of pet peeves. After a few years living in Japan, I now love Sydney. It made me appreciate a lot of things. We have good weather, good food, beautiful scenery, beaches, lots of space, low covid rates and a good quality of life. Right now, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world. I loved Japan when I lived there but sometimes there were so many things I missed when I was there. There are talks that Aust is trying to reach a travel bubble agreement with other countries to allow travel to like countries with low covid rates. Japan is one of them so I remain hopeful that if that's the case, I will be able to visit maybe next year. I don't know if people appreciate how tough it is working in Japan. The wages are not terribly high and they promote people based on age. If you work in a company as a "salaryman" you will be expected to work 12-14 hours a day and 7 days a week. If you're a woman, you have little chance of leading or progressing unless you land a job in a "foreign" company with leaders who "understand". In terms of job prospects, maternity leave, progression, sexual harassment, union laws Japan is archaic. I love it but I know that I'd never get anywhere in my career there. Women are expected to get married and make babies by 30 so if you're still in the workforce, you're an old maid etc. I have a lot of Japanese friends in Aust and some have no interest in returning to the restrictive life in Japan. Especially if they're female and enjoy the independence here. Work life is tough. Mind you, I do work 10-12 hours in an Aussie company when I'm busy but at least I get to take annual leave (not a possibility in Japan!). If you're a foreigner in Japan and even if you have a Japanese wife/spouse, you will always be on a foreign visa and casual contract when you work in a company. They don't make foreigners permanent employees. You will never be entitled to the same benefits as a Japanese citizen. A lot of union laws/rights we take for granted in the European Union, Australia and the UK will not apply in Japan unless you work for a progressive international company. Not everyone is gonna be a youtuber, influencer or have that job that allows the freedom to be creative etc. Believe me I would rather work in Australia with the "slow" internet (It's better these days!) and get my weekends off to enjoy life etc. A lot of european, UK and Australian culture is focused on work-life balance; this does not exist in Japan!

I barely ever fly or go to different places

1:58 honestly, sounds like bt openreach. I used to work at a call centre where we'd send them out and they'd cause so many issues.

Speeds here in Au are good or getting good but it is the distance in AU for the Internet for me you get 100ping in Broom to Sydney, I am in Victoria Ballarat they have HFC and Geelong and Mildura. And caps are good now except mobiles WOW. I get 500down 40up

Don't talk to me until you've experienced 0.03 upload

"this is the longest I've been without flying somewhere" *my broke ass who's never left my country* "feel my pain, FEEL IT"

У нас русских, есть замечательная цитата из одного из наших классиков: «- Где ж лучше? - Где нас нет». We, russians, have a great quote about it from one of our classical authors: “ -Where is the better? - Where aren’t us”.

I'm in Australia and still use ebay- wait can i order things and it will take less than a month to come?

I live in USA in the country, but still... like 15 mins outside a college town. We had DSL (10mbps) until last week, now it’s fiber and we get ✨20✨ 😭

British buses are basically 1 minute away for 10 minutes

Bro you should try the buses in Morocco

The Australian college experience is trekking down to the campus library with your laptop so you could torrent episodes of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones on free wifi.

And that's why I don't want to move out from my city when I do eventually move out.

Buses are the bane of everyone's existence

Switzerland love it here

I agree that it is always good and bad in every place but some places had more pros than cons. I'm from Lithuania, we had 16eu for 1gbit/s net. Bus at most 1-2minutes late you can get anywhere within a city and there is a bus like every 10minutes. I also lived in Wales, New port and internet sucked, public transport was almost non-existent as far as i knew. But the biggest reason I prefer living in Lithuania over some of the other countries is that i grew up here, i feel at home here, this is where all of my friends and family are while when i was in Wales i felt out of place...

Finland is fine. We get our deliviers at exactly the time we've been told and at least around here my ping goes from like 78 to 80 and when i download something it's like 150 or something like that.

I guess I'm lucky I live in America but I'm still kind of unlucky because where I live the best and I think only isp in my area is spectrum. It works OK most of the time but will go down for hours sometimes. I haven't live streamed yet because I don't have a strong enough computer but hearing from some other twitch streamers they will probably try to fuck with me when I go live.

2:23 my man clearly never experienced italian trains😂

Here where I live trains are late like 1,5-2 hours and they don't even apologize for it. But at least I got every game I pre-order day one.

Lol yeah US is like that. It'll literally say by 9pm.

My bed at 7 am: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT

videogames don't make you violent, high ping does

What is this "300 ping" you speak of Some days in Melbourne my ping can be measured in seconds

I have a gb up and 500 down in England

There is.

My ping on discord gets to 5000 every night about every 20 mins or so around like 2 or 3am when I’m just trying to talk to my friends in our VC 🙃

Sydney transport is actually pretty good in terms of world standards.

In Ecuador I live in fucking fear every time I take the bus. People can rob you, in there and you don't know who could be.

i am not watching the full podcast but watching these highlights for hours

I live in the U.S. on the outskirts of a small city and the only internet available in my area is satellite. So I'm paying $100/month for internet that's like 5000 ping at the worst of times, 1400 ping at the best and doesn't work when it's raining outside. America 🙄
