  • Shit happens. I’m not saying this person is right to do what they did, but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt that this was a mistake.

    You need to run awareness campaigns when you put in new traffic signals and enforce them so people know how they work.

    There are so many steps before going “fuck this guy” just on one interaction:

    1. Enforcement: make sure they know there’s a consequence

    2. Public transport: Give people who can’t drive worth a shit an alternative

    3. Engineered check: Raise a physical barrier to prevent cars from taking this position or prevent cars from using the intersection altogether. Or, grade separate cars and other modes of transportation

    The goal is safety and not just to shit on someone. It really could just be a mistake. We all make them. Nobody died this time. Make people aware so people don’t die next time.









  • Tools? First of all, Taiwan is historically 中華民國 (ROC).China is now 中華人民共和國 (PRC). The area known as Mainland China, or the area currently operated by the PRC was under the control of ROC. In fact, it was during a civil war between the two sides that Japan invaded during WW2.

    The current government of what is now known as China was being thrashed and the ROC almost quashed the rebellion. However, they put their differences aside to squash the Japanese government. The ROC suffered heavy losses to repel the Japanese.

    The PRC separatists took this opportunity to gain ground and pushed the ROC to the island of Taiwan.

    The current generation of Taiwanese are historically and culturally separated from the Chinese. The Taiwanese are happy to at least maintain the status quo of two separate entities, with only some from older generations looking to retake mainland China.

    Mainland China insists to takeover the island of Taiwan, by force if necessary.

    What do you mean Taiwan was a created tool? Learn your fucking history dude
