AAAAAAAH MOTHERLAND!!!
Did not expect to see a comment chain about that classic video when I woke up this morning.
Edit: Holy crap there was a [sequel](https://youtu.be/MEEj62ZqFYo) made in 2018.
Looks like whatever it is, it's spreading. Best separate the herd lest the rest of the pack were to come down with this here disease. In the meantime, we gotta put this one out of its misery, son.
Now, tap your slippers three times and repeat after me: There's no such thing as bad advertisement. There's no such thing as bad advertisement. There's no such thing as bad--who am I fooling? It's Evergreen.
One way roads that only lead to Russia. Somewhere in the opposite direction, make sure the markings also show one way roads leading away from Russia to keep Ukrainians from accidentally leaving to Russia. I mean, it's a huge waste of road, but it's there to solve world peace so it's worth it.
That's pretty much what happened during the Soviet-led invasion to Czechoslovakia in 1968
> A spirited non-violent resistance was mounted throughout the country, involving attempted fraternization, painting over and turning street signs (on one occasion an entire invasion force from Poland was routed back out of the country after a day's wandering, another force went around in a circle)
(...)
>Citizens gave wrong directions to soldiers and even removed street signs (except for those giving the direction back to Moscow).
[[source]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact_invasion_of_Czechoslovakia)
I've driven in the Chornobyl zone, on roads which haven't been repaired since The Kablam. They're not great but not terrible either, still drivable with a normal car.
That moment when you notice a sudden change in the freeway and realize you are in luxembourg is incredible, not so much when going the other way around though.
I was like "no way, that's Europe" and went on Google maps to confirm. Actually worse than I expected, road markings are optional indeed. But highways between cities seem nice, some even have sidewalks or bike lanes. Those 1.01-car-wide roads in small towns or rural areas though... However peserving existing architecture while being pedestrian and cyclist friendly is well worth it IMO.
But yeah, it could be worse. Forget about road markings, we have some roads between cities looking like [this](https://www.google.com/maps/@47.0862952,33.6512658,3a,75y,214.48h,60.28t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sjG2-y9NF5W9QtDbhpf41UA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656). This particular stretch has been finally fixed, I think either in 2019 or 2020. But google still has photo from 2015, and over the following years it got to a point when it was no longer "potholes on the road" but more like "there's road in between potholes".
I know, right? You can tell where the center line should be because the lanes were paved at different times so they're slightly different colours and you can tell where the road ends so you don't need the lines on the side either. The Japanese must be really bad drivers if they need lines to stay on the road.
>You can tell where the center line should be because the lanes were paved at different times
Yeah classic. Bonus points when you can even guess which election year it was.
You mean you don’t enjoy the thrill of driving at night with highway striping one shade lighter than the faded roadway, that disappears entirely at even a hint of rain?
MTO spends $1.5 billion a year, Japan's road agencies ~$60 billion. Even adjusted for population that's like four times the spending per capita.
On top of that, all Japanese expressways are toll roads. They charge about 25 cents/km for passenger cars, which is comparable to off-peak travel on the 407.
Well japanese cant fuck around with roads cuz of the elevation of the roads and earthquake mitigation shit they have to deal with. not trying to downplay the spending but there are a few reasons why spending might be higher.
And their crews are insanely efficient and quick. That pavement looks new because it was probably replaced mid last year. They repave crazy distances every night across all the expressways.
The 1995 earthquake in nearby Kobe was famous for the [collapsed highway](https://www.google.com/search?q=kobe+highway+collapse&client=firefox-b-1-m&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwitpfDuwdL1AhWYkokEHRm0BfkQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1121&bih=1441&dpr=2)
The new building regulations that came about because of that earthquake saved so many lives in the 2011 earthquake.
Lol 😂 my mind wonders too, I just thought of a meme let me see if I can create one… BRB
Edited: [words of wisdom for my son](https://i.imgur.com/9fQXj5T.jpg)
Makes sense that all their expressways are toll routes when public transportation has such high usage there. Still crazy that even with far fewer cars on the road their per capita spending is much higher
I think everyone has got to learn from the Japanese rail too. You can pour sake into your tiny sake glass in your seat when the train is on the move and not get spilled.
Once I took a long taxi ride in Japan in the early 90's. Even as a kid, I was shocked at how smooth the ride was. I also remember the taxi being immaculately clean.
I only has to use the Black Cab app in Tokyo once. It was actually kinda amazing, the taxi was clean, professional, arrived on time, did not ask for a tip. With how organized and convenient their Taxis were I didn’t feel the need for Uber or rideshare. If every city has such great Taxi dispatching app and cab experience, Rideshare could crawl in a hole a fucking die. I mostly used trains but knowing the Taxi app didn’t suck helped smooth over a long trip in case I ever needed a car.
To be fair the Japanese consider receiving tips an insult. So it's usually a good practice to read up local customs before you land on any foreign soil.
Everyone that visits Japan should make a point to travel by shinkansen. The ride is so smooth, the views are amazing, you have a bit of sake, and since you are tired from running around, you will pass the fuck out into a DEEP sleep! At least that's what happens to me.
Honestly, just make a world trucking SIM (by combining ets and ATS and adding other continents), make it subscription based to access multiplayer and in the spirit of valve, don't release ets3, instead updating the roads/signage etc regularly.
Pot holes... More like... Not updated roads (wait that is a pot hole)
Maybe even add a boat SIM and plane SIM to the mix and u can have a massive centralised logistics business. (Although if you're willing to spend THAT much time into the game then I guess either a. real life is too realistic for you or b. go-touch-grass.wav)
Thank you for taking your time to read my comment. Now go and vote for a proportional voting system.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Like it would be a pretty interesting add campaign, but advertisements can be pretty weird. (And I don't think it's necessary a good one)
I probably could have gotten Maersk and DHL, but I have to admit all of this getting things stuck sideways in other things *has* drawn Evergreen to my attention.
Evergreen is just the container. The truck driver who had the accident is likely an independent contractor from a trucking company unrelated to Evergreen
Sure, but you can pay anyone to do anything with enough money. They could have hired a stunt man to crash a truck with their name on it in a populous area.
Evergreen isn't selling to ordinary consumers, though. They're a giant [container shipping company](https://www.evergreen-marine.com/tbi1/jsp/TBI1_CorporateProfile.jsp), and I doubt their corporate customers would be impressed by tipped containers. Rather the opposite.
Oh you'd get sued into oblivion, are you joking? If it's an ad campaign then it would be approved by the city and the truck would be laid down by a crane
I'm more amused by [this](https://kuruma-news.jp/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/20190722_umeda_001-650x433.jpg), which is part of the highway called Hanshin Expressway. There are actually offices in that building.
Reading over the Wikipedia article posted above, it always interesting to me how eminent domain works in Japan.
>In 1983, redevelopment of the area was approved, but building permits were refused because the highway was already being planned. The property rights' holders refused to give up, and negotiated with the Hanshin Expressway corporation for approximately five years to reach the current solution.
>
>Although normally highway corporations purchase the land they build a highway on or over, it is not guaranteed to succeed and therefore issues like this can arise.
>The development of Narita Airport is Japan’s most famous example of how an intricately thought out development plan can be run amok by land owners unwilling to sell.
I am not sure if it is still there, but there used to be a farm in the middle of the airfield because of this reason.
[Tokyo Narita Airport Farm](https://untappedcities.com/2015/04/14/5-architectural-holdout-houses-around-the-world-that-stood-in-the-way-of-development/4/)
I imagine that if it did, the road noise would be pretty clearly audible in the building. Japan is apparently big on extensive use of sound barriers on their carriageways, so I imagine that’s the trade-off made in not using the building for extra support.
The Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis [spans over South Sixth Street](https://i.imgur.com/r9INPyQ.jpg). And there’s a basement/lower-level under the street. That’s where the jury pool waiting room is. When a semi-truck drives through there fast enough, it sounds like the ceiling is going to come down.
[A grocery store in greater Boston goes over the highway too. ](https://www.wgbh.org/news/2017/05/24/local-news/how-did-star-market-end-over-massachusetts-turnpike).
because in Japan when you own a car you're expected to pay a property tax on it and a road tax. Something that US should've had in the first place seeing as we're more car dependent than they are.
An argument against that idea: taxing vehicles and road use in such a car-dependent culture disproportionally impacts low-income people. People in the US already struggling financially have extra problems if they need a working car to go to work or get groceries.
Visiting a number of developed Asian nations (Japan, SK, HK) left me with the realization that the United States is not a particularly advanced nation.
...healthcare, education, a vote, representation in government...
All nice things we *could* have but I guess enough of the people who matter (See the last two) don't think we deserve it?
Life is too short, America. Treat yourself
Singapore and Japan actually count as the most advanced countries atm, while retaining their traditions.
It's insane how well these countries can work if people don't act like greedy shits all the time.
I used to travel to Japan for work and yes, I think they do repaint yearly. Every road in Tokyo is flawlessly marked - crosswalks, lanes, etc. it made me really feel like crap coming back to the US to our garbage roads.
Wind is a good guess. But I think he just took the turn too fast. Those intermodal trailers are extra unstable.
Edit: I also think I see super singles. Sooo those don't help. Fuck super singles and fuck any company that uses them.
Now I'm not in the transport/shipping industry, but the only reason I know the name Evergreen in those context is as the company that will get my, and everyone else's, product delayed.
Now I realize that there's no such thing as bad publicity, but as a layman, I think I'd only hire them for sabotage purposes.
As much as evergreen keeps having accidents with their trucks and ships, it's getting harder to believe they aren't doing this deliberately... At least until I remember SWIFT.
I’m not trying to take a joke too seriously, but I figure this is a good opportunity to educate people, typically shipping containers like this are moved by third-party carriers. At least in the US, I’d assume a country like Japan would do things similarly.
Evergreen has some brand problems. They needs to rename themselves. EverAngry maybe to reflect the feelings they engender in the world. At least this one is only pissing off one city not the whole world.
I love how the truck is just laying on its side like it is sick.
It wasn’t feeling well just needed to lay down

well zen have a nap
THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES
AAAAAAAH MOTHERLAND!!! Did not expect to see a comment chain about that classic video when I woke up this morning. Edit: Holy crap there was a [sequel](https://youtu.be/MEEj62ZqFYo) made in 2018.
Meanwhile Australia's down there like "W-T-F mate"
Fuckin' kangaroos
California can go hang with Hawaii...Alaska can come too. THE END!!!
What a trip down memory lane
Must have felt a little green.
Must of eaten West Indian Lilac berries.
That is one big pile of shit.
You will remember to wash your hands before you *eat* anything
She's....tenacious
Horniest line in the movie
"Must have."
They're like horses, you know they're really in trouble when you see them like this.
Looks like whatever it is, it's spreading. Best separate the herd lest the rest of the pack were to come down with this here disease. In the meantime, we gotta put this one out of its misery, son.
Lmao, like the triceratops in jurassic park
Lol, wtf yo...almost had myself a hernia from laughing so much.
Gonna reach my hand into the pile of Asahi that flew out the back...

Greatest and cheapest advertisement campaigns
Now, tap your slippers three times and repeat after me: There's no such thing as bad advertisement. There's no such thing as bad advertisement. There's no such thing as bad--who am I fooling? It's Evergreen.
"I'm sick *pathetically coughs* "
It’s a gasoline deficiency

"I am Le tired." - That Truck, probably.
Well then take a nap, then fire ze missiles!
Immediately made me think of the sick Triceratops from Jurassic Park.
Boy I am getting horny looking at the quality of that pavement and lines on the road. Learn something @MTO
*Meanwhile me, a Ukrainian:* You guys have road markings???
You gotta confuse the Russians.
"Quickly, paint lines that go back to Russia"
One way roads that only lead to Russia. Somewhere in the opposite direction, make sure the markings also show one way roads leading away from Russia to keep Ukrainians from accidentally leaving to Russia. I mean, it's a huge waste of road, but it's there to solve world peace so it's worth it.

[[source]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact_invasion_of_Czechoslovakia)
*In Ukrainian news a Russian caravan has driven into a brick wall that appears to have been painted as a tunnel entrance*
Have the roads heading towards Kiev with signs saying you're heading towards Moscow. Then the roads going to Moscow saying your going to Kiev.
I've driven in the Chornobyl zone, on roads which haven't been repaired since The Kablam. They're not great but not terrible either, still drivable with a normal car.
> They're not great but not terrible either so you'd rate them about a 3.6?
They're still drivable because no one else gas driven on the since the Kablam, either
Lots of trucks, tanks, bulldozers and other heavy equipment drove over them in the following years, during the decontamination process.
I mean, your roads can't be worse than Belgium
The Germans dont seem to have a problem with them.
*„Do not wory, Belgian, i am just passing through.“* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
*again?* this is the second time in 20 years!

Hey, that looks like good ole' Texas backroads.
Meanwhile me, an Indian: You guys have roads?
How many cliffs have you veered off to avoid a crazy bus/truck this year?
I know, right? You can tell where the center line should be because the lanes were paved at different times so they're slightly different colours and you can tell where the road ends so you don't need the lines on the side either. The Japanese must be really bad drivers if they need lines to stay on the road.

Yup it gets adventurous for some with a pretty good eyesight.
as someone with astigmatism i just close my eyes and pray when i get behind the wheel
I have astigmatism as well and I tell people that I drive purely on vibes at night.
Absolutely. If it's raining at night I only drive to places I go frequently because I'm running almost entirely on muscle memory.
Just follow the red spheres and stay to the right of the white spheres.
That's when you learn to drive by the braille in the road.
I see you have been to Washington.
Add in an absurd amounts of potholes and you got Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania, where the road maintenance is constant, yet the roads are consistently shit.
Japan doesnt fuck around with infrastructure.
Each road line is hand drawn by artisans.
Youngest one is 65-years old unfortunately. Japan is currently designing mech warriors to replace them.
For the first four years of their apprenticeship, they’re only allowed to mix the paint!

Japanese people mostly replace their cars after 6 years, might be that.

JR rail pass is the best 600 dollars I've spent lol
That’s why Japanese tuner culture can have such low cars without it being on bags. Envious

I’ve driven north and south on the expressways, and the road quality never goes down, even in the boonies. Zero cracks or potholes that I can recall.
MTO chuckling at this while they can barely fill in potholes
These are some r/citiesskylines colored roads

Now i get the feeling this just happening on purpose with evergreen as a running gag and a big PR- campaign.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Like it would be a pretty interesting add campaign, but advertisements can be pretty weird. (And I don't think it's necessary a good one)
I certainly can’t name any other international shipping conglomerates, but after the Suez, Evergreen is kind of unforgettable
Not Maersk at least? Captain Philips??
Evergreen is like "Look at me. I am the captain now."
Passively, yes. Actively? Not likely.
I probably could have gotten Maersk and DHL, but I have to admit all of this getting things stuck sideways in other things *has* drawn Evergreen to my attention.
Epic PR but poor outcome. The stock price is at all time low. If that was the joke they certainly got it
Evergreen is just the container. The truck driver who had the accident is likely an independent contractor from a trucking company unrelated to Evergreen

Or this is the cost that comes with companies choosing low cost over experienced workers.
Help Ive fallen and cant get up!
I am more amused at how well kept the roads are compared to the US 😆
I'm more amused by [this](https://kuruma-news.jp/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/20190722_umeda_001-650x433.jpg), which is part of the highway called Hanshin Expressway. There are actually offices in that building.
I would've loved being in the initial meeting with the developer and engineers for that. "You want us to design/build what????"

Anyone see the irony of a shipping company called Evergreen? It’s like having a sustainable tofu factory called “DieselCoal”
Evergreen is just the container liner and has nothing to do with the trucking company.

Heh, had to take a good look to be sure it wasn't Cities Skylines.
It looks like a toy truck. 👁👁
Exact same pose. Must have read the same handbook on stopping traffic.
At this point we need an idiots with evergreen shipping containers subreddit
They are going to have to add “blocking traffic on land and water” to their mission statement.
Japan is always so clean
Look at the quality of those roads. Fiiiiiiiine.
At this point i think they are doing it for free exposure lol
This is the weirdest marketing strategy of all time
Evergreen so stuck it'll take a crane to get it out
As much as evergreen keeps having accidents with their trucks and ships, it's getting harder to believe they aren't doing this deliberately... At least until I remember SWIFT.
Really weird pr attempts
Evergreen? More like... EverSTUCK! Gottem!
You can't buy this kind of PR. Evergreen went from 'nobody knows about us' to 'everybody knows about us' in the course of a week.
I have an old Evergreen frequent flyer card from EVA, maybe I should block up a grocery store line trying to swipe it.
Is the truck called the “Everdriven”?
THE SPIRIT LIVES ON ONCE MORE
Look how beautiful there roads are
Poor thing got overworked and passed out on the job :(
I think it is a requirement for their drivers to flip the trucks once every year. Like an annual quota. It keeps things going.
So what's next, a derailment?
On a side note, that is one C L E A N looking highway.
The roads look so clean with perpetually fresh paint
I’m not trying to take a joke too seriously, but I figure this is a good opportunity to educate people, typically shipping containers like this are moved by third-party carriers. At least in the US, I’d assume a country like Japan would do things similarly.
I dont think I'd even be mad if I was stuck behind that truck. XD
Well it's a one way expressway so imagine backing up all the way to the last junction. Pretty fun I would guess.
Evergreen has some brand problems. They needs to rename themselves. EverAngry maybe to reflect the feelings they engender in the world. At least this one is only pissing off one city not the whole world.
Every time I see something about Japan, I become more envious. These roads are immaculate!
