brewed daily!
Here in Taiwan, among expats anyways, shits done on Facebook Groups. Two problems, though; 1) the "go to" Taiwanese website to gauge prices is notoriously over priced, 2) expats still try to mark their poo poo up more than it's worth. In hilarious amounts.

For example, a 2 year old Honda Grom with 10,000 km on the clock, but "some modifications" was selling for around $5,500 USD when the overpriced website has them brand new for under $4,000 US. So a $1500 mark up because of aftermarket exhaust and brake pads. Yeah...

There is an idea of a Yuns, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
I am not even certain I understand what just happened but I almost got kicked off a train for wearing a helmet. I commute every day by a combination of motorcycle and train. Usually when I get close to my stop on the train line coming home I'll throw on my Kreiga backpack and wear my helmet so I can just hop on my motorcycle to head home. I was on the train about 2 minutes from my stop and put on the helmet to walk to the back of the train closer to where my bike was parked when I got stopped by a conductor. He claimed that I couldn't ride the train while wearing a helmet and that I wasn't allowed to "hide my face." He wanted to make me take off my helmet or boot me. I argued that I just threw on the helmet to disembark at the next stop and didn't take it off. I think he is making up that rule in the first place. The whole interaction was weird. I've never been given grief at all for it before today.

Where do you live? Wearing a bike helmet anywhere but on a bike was kind of a big deal in the UK back in the 90s, I guess because of some moral panic about them being used by criminals to hide their faces for knocking over banks or something? Certainly petrol stations and a lot of small shops used to have NO HELMETS stickers up on the door.

Anyway it all seems to have calmed down at some point, I haven't seen a sign like that in ages and the few times I do leave my helmet on to pop into a shop nobody seems to care (though I do run a flip front, but I can only see that making a little difference to sane people considering full face helmets don't actually obscure your face that much if you don't want them to).

But yeah really what's he going to do if you don't take it off, make you get off at the next stop? Like you were going to anyway, which is why you've put your helmet on? What a jobsworth.

I'm in the US northeast near NYC. I have no idea why he got into it with me especially when I'm obviously about to get off. I've never had any issue with any other conductor. They usually ignore me or ask me questions about my motorcycle and commuting on it. This guy went out of his way to be a dick to me.

alright?
I've had a gas station tell me to go outside and take it off when I was already handing them cash for gas. Like
"I'll take 10 on"
"You have to take your helmet off"
"Here's my 10 I just need the gas"
"I can't serve you till you go out and remove your helmet"

So I went out and hopped on my bike and rode to the next gas station

I think it probably depends on where you're going. Probably no one cares if you wear your full-face helmet into McDonalds, but if you walk into a bank like that, you'll get a gun pulled on you. I can't see any problem with wearing a helmet on the train, though.

I worked as armed security for the local Wells Fargo for a few months :shrug:

No goddamn way I'd actually pull the gun on anybody, though. Pretty sure if Osama bin Laden (pre-death) would have walked in with a machete, and I pulled my gun on him, I would have been fired.

I am not sure if I have ever seen an armed security person at a bank in my entire life but then again I am also a goon

I used to work for a global bank and at one of our offices outside the U.S., we had a security guard with an unauthorized firearm get into a gun battle with a bank robber. Neither managed to hurt each other but they did manage to shoot up the branch. Management wanted desperately to fire him but since the media and public were treating him as a hero, the bank couldn't take any action against him without incurring hugely bad press so they ended up letting it slide.
