Thanks @caffeinesam

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

The thing is, in many countries there already exist thousands of kilometers of rail that are really underused. They are maybe not high speed, but, they could very much be used for regional travel instead of cars.

And for far travel, WE NEED TO BRING BACK NIGHT TRAIN !!!! How cool is it to go to sleep, in a bed inside a train, in one place, and to wake up in another place? It is the closest you can get to teleporting. And the best part is, you can do it on existing rail lines: you dont need to be that fast since you are sleeping anyway

do any of you have any idea how environmentally destructive high speed rail has to be? You need a practically 0% grade for HSR. you know many goddamn bridges and tunnels and blasting through mountains you'll need for that? how much concrete? maybe we don't need to replace air travel with a comprehensive HSR network...perhaps we need to fundamentally reduce the need for high speed long distance trips for shit like business meetings or middle class people's 5th vacation in a year

incredibly funny that this guy is a senior gameplay animator at sucker punch like… you can literally see the ghost of tsushima in this…………

surprisingly, this still remains probably the best and most concise explanation as to why the harry potter franchise didn't work and never could work in a satisfying way because of the author's limited perception of life and politics

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Watch a Zionist tell an Orthodox Jew that he isn’t a Jew because he’s against the genocide in Gaza. Antisemitism at its finest.
