  • people wouldn’t have to masquerade as much behind legitimate business.

    Yes, that’s the point - they’d BE a legitimate business anyway. Sadly, the concept of it being not so, is so ingrained in Western (American and British, at least) culture that even comments in support reveal an unconscious bias that’s hard to overcome.

    Translation added, roughly done. Tip: modern Android devices let you press and hold the switcher, which takes a screen shot of whatever is on screen. Then, you can press the translate button that appears to translate whatever is on screen. Works with the camera too - easier than firing up Google lens or whatever.

    Of course, you need all the Google gubbins to do it, but if you’ve got that it’s really powerful.

    It is a bit different to say, “HP changed their recipe” versus “some dumb ass redistributor changed HP’s award winning recipe and suffered the consequences” :⁠-⁠D

    Either way, I’m glad to get the original. Nothing better with some sausages or bacon…

    “Kei modernized their truck”.

    Kei is a style of vehicle. This is like saying, “pickups modernized their truck”. So let’s try and understand what this misguided individual meant.

    “The small vehicle that I saw had poor crash handling”. Perhaps, but that’s going to be on the individual vehicle, not a class, in the same way some small vehicles handle really well, and some fall over (remember the Mercedes A class, anyone?)

    “The style of vehicle that is categorised by kei is impossible to secure, and all of them score zero”. I’d love to see evidence of this, if you’ve got any. A modern kei-style car, the Honda E 2020 has a euro NCAP 4* rating - not the best, but not zero, and that’s just the first one I found.

    Sadly, kei trucks are not commonly for sale in the UK or US, so I can’t find ratings for them. There’s no reason they can’t be made as safe as other small vehicles, only a market preference for larger vehicles.
