RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Why did you feel like you had to lie?
Because the steak was burned and didn't taste good. But the guy specifically told me to say that i tastes amazing and to even exaggerate. This is also a thing on TV here in Korea that they have those foreigners tasting food and they without exception always have to say how amazing it is, you never see them saying they don't like it. Even if you can see it on their reaction, they would always say mhmm so good! :D

I read that the first time, too. But the same question remains.
I guess I didn't want to be rude to him, especially as a foreigner.
Maybe it's a fun tv show, letting foreigners eat bad food and pretend it's good.
Anyways, stay true to yourself <3
Reminds me of this bit from Married with Children where Kelly has to react to the flavors of the diet shake she's doing a commercial for.
Not the point of your story, but nationalism is fucking stupid. There's good shit in/about your country, there's bad shit in/about mine and vis versa. Where you happened to be born shouldn't matter; when in doubt, be honest...
What kind of viewers wouldn't notice they're looking at a burnt steak?
You had a opportunity to go full Gordon Ramsay!
