Stringent posted:i didn't define it as a right wing ethnostate, i asked for a definition repeatedly and no one answered i just assumed it meant a country composed primarily of a single ethnic identity exclusive to that country with a right wing government i mean poo poo only reason you cant call south korea one is because north koreas right there its no more a value judgment than just calling them racist

VomitOnLino posted:I think it's mostly weebs that are under the impression that Japan is "diverse" because they spend the day glaring at each other when they roam Tokyo or Akihabara. You do realize the irony that you're rather getting into the "old-rear end gaijin who thinks every immigrant but him is garbage" stereotype yourself, right. Which is funny in a way since Stringent himself tends to encroach upon the same territory and if you guys ran across each other in real life you'd probably get along like gangbusters, so it's interesting to see your guys' exchange here.

That you LiberalTrashLimo, dislike my Japan takes can only tell me that I must be getting something right. But please feel free to cry into your anime pillow, I don't judge - at least not openly Edit: Also re-reading your incredible garbage take, ah yeah that's me who thinks all the other immigrants are trash. That's exactly why I'm helping one find a lawyer and paying some of his legal fees.... truly a galaxy brain take.

i can't even recall seeing a highway in china that doesnt have tolls. im hesitant to say they all do because there's probably somewhere that doesnt, but pretty much they all have tolls some holidays they shut down the toll booths and you can drive toll free and some people decide that's worth sitting in insanely bad traffic for full days they will even calculate how long it took you to drive from the entry tollbooth to the exit tollbooth and if your average speed is higher than the speed limit, you'll get an automatic speeding ticket

seems like a pretty good setup so long as the toll roads are owned/administered by the state

But the ultimate goal should still be to abolish cars entirely. Such a horrible, stupid and inefficient means of transportation

thatfatkid posted:seems like a pretty good setup so long as the toll roads are owned/administered by the state i was told that one of the heavily used road tunnels here in shenzhen started off as a privately owned toll road, and the government wanted to buy it but the guy didn't want to sell. so the government built a brand new tunnel right beside the private one and left it toll free and drove the guy out of business. not sure how true that is exactly, but it's what several people have told me

I didn't even say that I disliked it per se haha But it's very much classic "everyone else but me is a weeb and can't speak Japanese" whinging that you get from some people. At the very least literally none applies to Stringent in any way and displays how bad your read it. Stringent is an rear end in a top hat in a number of ways but none of them have anything to do with being a rose-colored-glasses weeb. Also the thing about thinking that you're getting death-stared by every gaijin you come across is just lol Doesn't really mean much that you're helping some dude (That's very cool and I hope it works out for them, but it'd not really applicable toward your attitude) vs apparently going into a frothing rage directed generally at immigrants because they're not the king poo poo of gaijin pile like you I guess.

So, I am unsure where you go from me reporting on this fact in a frustrated sarcastic tone to be me being "king poo poo of gaijin pile". For the record I dislike local the local brand of idiots reacting in a visibly negative fashion to my presence just as much.

You scan some QR code? Here in central Europe you usually have to buy a usage certificate for some period and paste it to the window and that's it. I was pretty stunned the first time I saw an actual toll booth in Japan, completely with stopping the car and paying in cash.

You install some sort of ETC transponder into your car and then it pays the tolls automatically as you just drive through some sort of gate. It actually tells you in a lovely computer voice how much you owe. I believe they incentivize installing these transponders into your car by the rate being slightly cheaper. I may be misremembering.

they got a lot of cameras and good license plate reading tech. map apps like baidu straight up warn you where cameras are on highways if you use them for navigation so you can slow down. theyre so good that in Shanghai, where it's against the law to beep ur horn in the city, they will somehow know you did it and fine you. idk how it works but i know i was shocked the other day when i heard a car horn for the first time in months and thought "man that dudes gettin a ticket". e: you can get thingies that auto-pay tolls but only cabs/trucks/etc have those cuz normies aren't driving on toll roads too much. toll roads in china are p much exclusively the highways between cities or expressways to airports/etc. the actual roads in the city and usually highways within cities are all free. shanghai has a zillion elevated highways in the city but the only ones with a toll are the expressways to the airports afaik (i never drive to the burbs i am probably very wrong on this) Ailumao has issued a correction as of 10:04 on Dec 22, 2021 |

yeah shanghai especially is a nightmare for minor traffic infractions. theyre basically all automatic now too so cops aren't even stopping you, it just gets pinged in this app thats specially designed to track your traffic issues. all my friends who drive get annoyed cuz they just get pinged they owe 50~300¥ for speeding/running a stop sign/whatever. cars as a whole while popular are still only owned by a minority of people, and the gov keeps making laws to discourage it. shanghai's weird where they made the fee to get a license plate (once you win the lottery to buy one) 100k renminbi. that is almost 16k usd. this is like 90x what it is in most cities. the caveat is if you buy an electric car that fee is mostly waived and you only pay a small admin fee. as a result, teslas are super loving common in shanghai cuz electric cars are actually weirdly subsidized by this rule and teslas are weirdly cheaper in china than out of china anyway. there are other electric brands as well obv but man i feel like every other car is a tesla here. Some Guy TT posted:this is just crazy how do they fund the police departments without trying to trick people into breaking the law so they have to pay fines idk about other cities but shanghai is going hard on ebikes and bikes lately, cuz they mostly escape these automated systems. earlier this year shanghai made a rule you need to wear a helmet on an ebike or scooter (not normal bikes tho) and man cops were having a field day pulling everyone over. unfortunately that just lead to everyone wearing helmets. they also now have cops at certain T intersections bikes usually blaze through red lights on where they aren''t actually crossing a street and just going along the sidewalk. there's one specific one i go home by every day where they're just after the intersection behind a bush, so theyre v well hidden. its funny how half the people know its a trap now and stop and try to warn people not to go, but then some rear end in a top hat goes and when the light turns green you see them getting fined a cool 100¥.
