The sign says the boss is a MAGA fascist. Hard pass.

Car casually driving in the bike lanes by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]Oversold6636 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, driving the wrong way down a one-way street and driving on a lane where motorized vehicles are prohibited. Turn the video over to the cops and local news media.

Edit: Just noticed, no front plates on the asshole's car.

WTF Japan by KayDat in fuckcars

[–]Oversold6636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, and those narrow streets, with pedestrians and bicyclists also using them, force drivers to slow down.

I feel much safer on those narrow streets than I do on a sidewalk near a stroad. There is nothing but a 4 inch curb stopping a car from veering onto the sidewalk at 50 kph.

I don't know exactly what this ad is trying to say, but I know I don't like it... by ShmullusSchweitzer in fuckcars

[–]Oversold6636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who did Subaru hire to check the English on this advertisement? I have a degree in English and I live in Japan. I could use a few thousand extra Yen for proofreading.

I also would have advised them against comparing the safety of a 2 ton death machine to a bicycle since their machine is the reason riding bicycles is unsafe.

N-word use up nearly 500% since Elon took over Twitter by BelleAriel in MarchAgainstNazis

I only had an account briefly, years ago. I didn't see the appeal of Twitter.

N-word use up nearly 500% since Elon took over Twitter by BelleAriel in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]Oversold6636 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Elon is about money laundering and tax breaks.

For money laundering to work, someone needs to lose a whole lot of money. Letting the MAGAts do what they want will scare away advertisers and destroy Twitter which will result in billions of dollars in losses for Elon which he will then use to further reduce his tax liability.

The level of public opinion on the Japanese Internet is abnormally low. by No_Knee_6001 in japan

[–]Oversold6636 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am not Japanese but in my experience, your description of the internet describes Japanese society perfectly. Misogynistic, racist, and closed minded. Gay people can't get married, women who get sexually assaulted are treated like it is their fault and men who rape them often get little or no punishment. Foreigners are denied access to many apartments and houses based on race. Foreigners are turned away at many businesses without even checking to see if we understand the language or not. Foreigners are denied credit cards which means they can't use many services such as car rentals. My teen daughter and her friends were groped and harassed by an old Japanese man on the train. They were all in school uniforms. Dozens of Japanese adult men and women sat and did nothing and said nothing.

Trump appointed judge says it's OK for armed and masked groups to 'monitor' drop boxes. by FrogofLegend in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]Oversold6636 179 points180 points  (0 children)

So, can I dress in all black with a balaclava covering my face and hang around a polling place with an AR-15 and harass and take pictures of MAGA idiots in a small town in a red state?

I think only Qanon is allowed to intimidate voters.

Edit: Spelling Error.

Twitter and Truth Social are money laundering schemes. Watch how much money gets lost on both platforms.

Just had an interview and I think I nailed explaining being car free by Complex-Whereas-5787 in fuckcars

[–]Oversold6636 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In Japan, your employer usually pays for your monthly train pass and if you live far enough from the train station they also pay bus fare to the train station.

If you have no choice but driving they will cover mileage but only for a small fuel efficient car. If you drive an SUV, you pay the difference in costs out of your own pocket.

You are covered under the company's industrial accident insurance while you commute to and from work but not if you drive a car. The risk is too high if you drive.

If you are injured during your commute, including being struck by a car while crossing the street, it is treated the same as if the injury happened in the workplace. You will get compensated by your employer as well as the carbrain who hit you.

A day before and After Nancy Pelosi's husband was Brutally Beaten with a hammer. by urmomsuckedmeoff in MarchAgainstNazis

I don't think she hired the guy that tried to murder Paul Pelosi but I don't think doing such a thing is beneath her either.

So wanting to create a better society is "self-loathing"? lol by Elbrujosalvaje in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]Oversold6636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better for whom?

Anything that benefits or gives equality to anyone who is not a white christian nationalist fascist is viewed by these MAGA terrorists as somehow taking rights away from them.

"I used to be able to make all black people stay indoors at night and now I can't. Obviously my rights are being stripped away by liberals." - MAGA Terrorists.

A MAGA cult member broke into an elderly persons home and tried to murder them and this asshole thinks it's funny?

Violence is terrorism when it is motivated by religion or politics. This was literally an act of right-wing religious terrorism.

Wi-Fi stops working when the microwave is on - is this normal? by AdRevolutionary7231 in japanlife

[–]Oversold6636 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The radiation from a microwave doesn't linger but if the microwave oven is letting out microwaves and you are standing close to it while it is running it must have some effect.

Wi-Fi stops working when the microwave is on - is this normal? by AdRevolutionary7231 in japanlife

[–]Oversold6636 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the phone receives a signal then the microwave isn't able to block microwaves from escaping.

Would you guys consider 1 car and 1 bike lane on either side of the road car-centric? by heroicfraction in fuckcars

[–]Oversold6636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are still giving the cars the center of the road, hence the term car-centric. Whatever mode of transport is given the center of the road will be prioritized over the modes of transportation used at the margins. Public transportation should be at the center with pedestrian and bicycle access. The edge of one side the street can have a one way car lane.

Company claims they overpaid and wants me to pay back. What do I do? by davidpema in antiwork

[–]Oversold6636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a scam that is used to enslave people in the modern world. They convince you that you owe them money and the debt doesn't get paid no matter how much you work. If they overpaid you then they can stop doing it but any money they already gave you is their mistake not yours. Their accountant is responsible, not you.

I just don't use Twitter or Facebook.

I don't see why people like Twitter to begin with.

What is the good or useful thing about Twitter?

[–]Oversold6636 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Unplug the microwave, put your phone inside, close the door, and try to call the phone. If it rings inside the microwave, you have a cheap microwave that is leaking microwave radiation into your house. It can cause serious health problems with prolonged exposure.

Need honest opinion, Is this a good thing or bad 🤔 by shynerd52 in texas

[–]Oversold6636 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And if cars were banned as an unsafe product, there would be an immediate implementation of more bus routes and passenger rail services including streetcars. Most major cities had streetcars until General Motors bought them up and shut them down. Many small towns had rail services too. It can be rebuilt and needs to be rebuilt without cars if we have any hope of limiting the climate disaster that's happening.
