saying its bad he only got 4 years does not have to mean you think prison is good, it can be a comment on how severely the crime is treated relative to other crimes

xinjiang is a cool story in terms of china's demonstrated growth: like fifteen years ago, owning a car was out of reach for much of even beijing, but nowadays almost every xinjiang household owns a car

Jon Pod Van Damm: Apr 6, 2009; THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

lol at my compatriots fantasies about other countries

quote:

The reason for not stopping at pedestrian crossings in Turkey:

One of the main reasons is that the cities in Turkey are just like big villages. When you place residences and workplaces around boulevards with four lanes in each direction in cities with millions of inhabitants, it becomes impossible to manage pedestrian traffic. In developed countries, places like businesses, residences, shopping malls, and social facilities are distant from each other, and there are highways in between. You can quickly get to where you want to go without any traffic lights or pedestrian crossings. Later, in the places you go to, you'll see plenty of traffic lights, intersections, and pedestrian crossings. And in these places where traffic naturally moves slowly, you'll see that pedestrians are given priority at crossings. No one, like us, places pedestrian crossings in the middle of highways, so such absurd situations don't arise.

if someone's got one of those in good condition they have a garage they keep it in, they're like $20k and early '90s Japanese cars rust away super easy, nowadays youll only ever find old 70s/80s japanese cars in yearround drt deserts and places that don't salt their roads like seattle

I've seen a few of those used as USPS delivery vehicles in the rural parts of the Rockies. Dirt roads, snow, etc. Right hand drive. 4X4. Can haul lots of poo poo. Perfect.

mahwawhatever lives in the pnw and I see plenty of those and kei trucks in the wild as well. you can get one imported for a little under 10k from Vancouver here, kei trucks are even cheaper. sucks for everybody else though!

edit: salting roads is yet another assault on our local ecology meted out by big car
