  • Do you know any songs about trains?

    Jump

  • Trains

    Jump

  • Yeah, UK is the worst train service in Europe, that's nothing new.

    That's cause the UK privatised 90% of rail in the 1980s

    Jump

  • Well, Electric Trucks are prevalent now, so still pretty efficient

  • Voting however, won't fix a problem caused by a broken electoral system.

    When the entire system is rotten so that no matter who you vote for they won't represent the people, then the most you can do with voting it's try to keep the ABSOLUTE BASTARDS KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE THROUGH NEGLIGENCE(GOP) out and keep the still bastards, but not trying to kill their own citizens, just doing war against other nations in.

    As example, the previous election, USA had Dems going "this is a complicated issue" about Israel/Palestine and GOP going "HELL YEAH WAR WAR WAR" about it. But none of the parties went "this genocide shouldn't receive support from the USA"

    Just one side going "I won't stop selling them weapons, but won't send in troops" and the other going "I won't stop selling them weapons, and will send in troops"

  • Trains

    Jump

  • Funny thing, the UK we had the opposite problem, people fighting to stop the reopening of lines that have become walking and biking trails (usually for freight train profit)

    We also converted many of our local innercity lines into into ELR, which is slower but it's also cheaper and they're all loop lines with a schedule of 1 every 5-10 minutes

  • Trains

    Jump

  • Freight Trains in USA, for comparison.

    You've got plenty of trains and train lines, but your government, unlike most of the world, refuses to subsidise public transit, so they all go for the option that's most profits-per-km, Freight

  • You Got It Kiddo

    Jump

  • You can see that a system is broken and still work to fix it, they're not dichotomous.

    It's not defeatism, it's realism.

    And no, the answer isn't to bend over and take it, it's to get FUCKING LIVID ABOUT IT, and kick up a stink. Protests, Activism, Action, Art.

  • Can someone explain the hexbear community?

    Jump

  • Nah, you've seen the shoreline and assumed that's all there is, there's a whole vast ocean out there

  • Who recognizes who around here?

    Jump

  • Nah, she got divorced, but the kids kept the old name

  • You Got It Kiddo

    Jump

  • Nah, it's been rotten at the core from the very start, just the fester is coming to the surface now

  • Got Netflix, other than the big hitters like stranger things what should I watch?

    Jump

  • I kinda knew it was gonna be great cause Derry Girls writer (excellent comedy series about a school in Derry, focused on the titular group of friends) and Ardal O'hanlan is in it (national treasure that is very picky about his scripts and only picks shows he likes the writing of)

  • You Got It Kiddo

    Jump

  • That's true in systems not rigged to make it so only certain types of people can be elected and that 1 vote isn't equal across the country.

    The land of the free for example, have that in smaller states 1 vote can equal 3 votes, and that it's so expensive to run for office that the only ones that can afford either had to make a LOT of backroom deals, be independently wealthy, or both (in the case of Trump)

  • Would it make sense to have a list of "Retired Questions"? - Questions asked so often and with no real change in answers that they're deleted on sight - if so, what questions would you pick?

    Jump

  • Be good at their job

  • Trains

    Jump

  • Overlaying the freight map over the passenger one is even more depressing

    You have trains, a shitton, but "public transport isn't profitable"

    Is roadkill - animals killed accidentally by vehicles accidentally running them over - a modern thing, or did it used to happen in the pre-modern era?
