I agree with you, I loved public transit in the greater Tokyo area when I was there but this is a change I can do on my level vs public transit which I can only do so much to affect.

They require a different license and skill in my country. Not everyone can ride bikes unfortunately, especially for fear of accidents. Regardless if that fear is well founded or not.

I get what you're saying but by that same logic I can just hand waive all of those away by saying they don't fit my specific life case use.

I would have loved to have one of those when I was in college and just needed it to go to school and work.

I couldn't afford a regular car so I just took my cities shitty public transportation which added a couple hours to my commute. I didn't even live far from school and work it was just that sucky.

I think there's definitely a space for those cars in modern society. I would love to have one to just go to the store and regular commute. I looked into the micro line they just aren't available in my area yet.

I was talking about this to my girlfriend when the first trailer dropped. Honestly they should have done an original story and named the movie borderlands 4. Make it cannon to the games and it would have fit perfectly with how absurd borderlands is. That way you can craft a bespoke story that fits in movie for instead of having to worry about adaptation.

I'm not worried about jack black but I am about Kevin. I don't think Kevin has the chops to pull of that character.

I bet that person also buys products that are either based on stuff that has had animal testing or actively does it. Bet they're vaccinated.

Against the US dollar and any equivalent currency.

I'm saying landlords are parasites and there's no way to excuse what they do as a good thing or necessary.

It doesn't work for state unfortunately and there isn't an alternative. I also use freetaxusa. Maybe it's time to start pushing our states to make their own version of the federal site.

The issue with that is that you're still making money on a human right. That property is gonna gain value and eventually you'll be able to sell it for more than you bought it for, all on the back of the tenants. Unless you're planning to give the tenants the house when they pay the value of it but at that point there's no reason for you the own it to begin with.

Damn that's a shame cause japan is fun and it's cheapish currently cause of the yen plummeting.
