Via Rail is a complete disaster imo. They take the bad from air travel and bring it to rail. They act like their service is a premium luxury one, with huge numbers of staff per train, multiple checks of your tickets, etc.

One example of how bad their operations are (not to get into reliability which is a whole other problem) is that when arriving at a station they ask that you remain seated until the train is fully stopped, and then slowly help people get off. Contrast this with trains in Japan as an example, where the announcement says a stop is coming up soon, please be ready to get off as soon as the train doors are open.

In my opinion we don’t just need politicians riding Canadian trains. I want them to travel to Europe and Asia and then come back and suffer on via rail. It’s not just new dedicated tracks that are needed, it’s a complete restructure of the passenger experience!

Gonna ask them to specifically pay for it with your taxes 💉 ☺

As long as I’m paying in cash for the boosters, right? 😉

Yes boss! I queue up every day at a different pharmacy to get a new booster. I’m on number 478 at this point because a few days I managed two or more!

The only side effect is that I can now do a rectal prolapse at will and frankly looking at it, it reminds me of you 😘

No you see I’m against helping old ladies cross the street because I think we should abolish streets entirely!

You never are going to read the comments or care what I’m saying, you aren’t trying to learn or understand, so let’s have a bit of fun shall we?

Was the pandemic also a communist plot to do something nefarious as well?

Amazing, enlightened, groundbreaking response here. I suppose we should not wear clothes because communists wear clothes too?

Tell me, are you against restrictions on child labour or is that too much for you because it is also mentioned in the communist manifesto?

I’m specifically referring to your pandemic talk.

A transitional communist state will use the power of a central bank to abolish private capital (other banks) and bring about a communist society eventually. Central state controlled banks are just a tool, like a hammer or a car.

Your definition of communism is like Plato’s definition of man, a plucked chicken would also qualify.

Fantastic, I could barely have imagined a more unhinged reply. Frankly I’m surprised you haven’t started talking about Chinese space lazers.

This is absolutely hilarious, no matter what I say you will still reply.

Not only do you think central banks are not just a part of but one of the defining features of a classless, stateless, moneyless society, they’re the key indicator that a state is communist! Add to that that you confuse different people replying to you with each other (or assume everyone is the same person) and you get this wonderfully entertaining mix.

Tell me, what else have you done deep research on? Next you’re going to tell everyone that the earth is flat or something aren’t you.

I don’t think you know what communism is, but you’re not going to listen to anyone that explains it are you?

By all means, go get scammed with crypto. Meanwhile the rest of us are living in the real world where not a single developed western nation is a communist state.

In Spain you can totally get the bus to most places, especially touristy places! AVE is expensive but there are budget high speed operators operating now and the bus is cheap. All these options are far cheaper than owning a car (and cheaper than owning a car in a car centric country as well!).

Also those towns that don’t have good connections it’s mostly poor people living there, so rather than being stuck in cities because they don’t own cars, they’re stuck in poor rural towns because there is no transit to other places!

You’re ignoring the thing car drivers complain about the most, traffic delays. To me real freedom is being able to get to the places I need to using my own two feet, without needing to spend thousands every year on a car, insurance, etc. Headphones also exist and let you enjoy your own music while outside of a car without disturbing anyone!

What we need everywhere is a people first policy that makes it so you don’t need a car to get around, especially in cities.

I’m not sure what you are talking about with Spain. People there are not “trapped” in cities, they have good public transit in most cities and one of the best high speed rail systems in the world to get between cities, on top of that an extensive bus system that is even cheaper and extensive than the trains.

aye

The about for the community is

A community dedicated to the discussion of anything surrounding anime, manga, manhwa, light novels, visual novels, and hentai.

And this isn’t out of line with other art that has been posted here before, this seems to me to fit the intention of the community well enough.

I think this is the best approach, rather than starting a new comminity and resetting back to zero again.

This app is awesome, has way more data than other weather apps I’ve used. Really nice to see allergen information as somebody that gets bad allergies!

I have started painting my test tyranids from Leviathan and I’m going with a similar scheme, at least for the skin portion. Do you get much from the zenithal priming that the contrast doesn’t do already or is it to double down on the contrast effect?
