@JoshMBingham @TrashPanda08x thats still the north east which is definetly the most obvious one and its a complete joke that we dont have proper hsr on the northeast corridor already. but im thinking some additional ones like the texas triangle, or the california hsr thats in progress
English
@caty155 @TrashPanda08x Yeah short distance would be cool. DC to Boston line for example would make sense.

We can't have this in the US because a farmer will lose 0.5% of their land and less people would drive which would be bad for oil companies. :(

In China’s Guilin, high-speed trains have become a sightseeing attraction.

@eli_uncut @TrashPanda08x it took about 100 years to make our cities as bad as they are but we still found a way to do it. cars kept us on that path. a train would be a great catalyst in the other direction. it wont be quick or easy but it will give people a reason to get on board with it
English
@caty155 @TrashPanda08x My point being is that I’m not saying I’m against it, but it’s a far bigger hurdle than some people realize, and it’s more than just “it makes oil companies sad”.
English
@iSwearImKarl @TrashPanda08x it is so so much more unhealthy for farm animals to have a highway right next to them but no one ever brings that up
English
@TrashPanda08x "lose 0.5% of their land"
Emphasis on their land.
Let's also talk about how healthy it is to have a train running through people's land, where animals are grazing. The same party that wants to save the turtles and deer
English
@iSwearImKarl @TrashPanda08x if you want to live rural thats good for you and no one is stopping you. personally id rather kill myself
English
@TrashPanda08x For the record, I think we should be leaving the cities as humans. It's not how we're meant to live, it's why we're so unhappy. We should all remigrate back to rural America, be closer to nature.
English
@JoshMBingham @TrashPanda08x lots of cities around the country are right in that distance sweetspot where highspeed rail makes the most sense for travel. planes are faster, but the amount of time spent at airports etc. makes it slower for short distance trips. trains are also way more comfortable
English
@TrashPanda08x This makes sense in the north east but that’s it. Why spend a day on a train when I can fly?
English
@larcenblack @TrashPanda08x europe infamously has a lot of regulations and they have plenty of highspeed rail
English
@TrashPanda08x The U.S. has too many laws and creating anything big is close to legally impossible. That is where authoritarian governments has an advantage
English
@ColinDreams @TrashPanda08x @atkinsonfasho infrastructure isnt meant to turn a profit. highways dont turn a profit or make money at all, and we spent and continue to drain billions and billions of dollars on building and maintaining them
English
@TrashPanda08x @atkinsonfasho The Chinese high-speed train system has been a massive waste of money for China. It took almost a TRILLION dollars to build and hasn’t been profitable. The debt China took on to build it is one of the biggest drivers behind their economic issues right now
English
@TrashPanda08x It costs like 200 billion to make a mile of rail in California cus of their regulations and governmental mismanagement. We can't make high speed rail because it'd take more cost in regulation and environmental studies more than laying the actual rail.
English
@eli_uncut @TrashPanda08x we should be overhauling our cities and towns. highspeed rail would encourage that. this is like saying we shouldnt build airports because once you land, you need to somehow get a car to go anywhere (which is also a big problem)
English
@TrashPanda08x I think yall forget that the US is a car centric country. Even if you take the train to your destination, you’re still gonna have to get to where you’re going by car. It would completely undermine the purpose of the train, and would require a complete overhaul of cities/towns
English
@RM_Transit oh no not here no thanks if that traffic coning shit still works ts is genuinely going to be my full time activity

@sneed_emmanuel @dany_queen8 @danielgothits the moderates are lower than left but higher than the right. its not an on/off "all moderates do/dont believe in mental health". its clearly a scale of how likely you are to get yourself diagnosed and moderates are .. in the middle
English
If this was true then why do centrists also have lower mental illness than liberals? Do centrists also disbelieve in mental illness according to you? also liberals have >60% higher diagnoses of specific diseases like schizophrenia. You 're telling yusthat conservatives are just walking around with auditory hallucinations telling themselves it's normal? lol! This is cope you made up on the spot without any evidence hahaha.
Typical mentally ill libtard behaviour
English
I’ve seen many liberal girls do this including when I lived in Brooklyn, they’ll gleefully say the most evil stuff possible (“I LOVE abortions, they’re awesome!” etc) just to get a reaction and shock people while acting like that’s not actually the goal of it
It’s a basically a form of liberal extreme sports which is “look how cool I am because I’m so flippant about something you hold as sacred, that makes me edgy and high status, while you are traditional and low status”
But when you dig even a millimeter deeper they’re usually very hurt people, often abandoned by their dad or even downright abused in childhood etc
So they have basically been possessed by demonic energy, that’s why they’re all so violent and insane
The worst part is that deep inside there is a sweet and normal person in there begging to come out but they don’t know how. It’s a cry for help more than anything else.

My TL talking about the Crimson Desert update:
Synth Potato🥔@SynthPotato
Crimson Desert feels so much snappier after today's update, input delay feels like its completely gone. It's crazy how 4 days after launch, this game now plays completely differently. movement, combat, everything feels significantly better now. This would've scored 80+ easily.
English
@00_flame23 unfortunatley every is stuck being told how much better x decade was before
English
@Mapscientist1 @lnfiniteHighway sometimes they will straight up have block designs to but jjst be missing any air deco and structuring
English
@lnfiniteHighway maybe a hot take but more traditional layouts like these will always be superior to overproduced effect """layouts""" that are just fully-decorated levels with the block design taken out
English
no unnecessary effects, barely any camera triggers, just some of the best raw gameplay ive ever seen. i love temp gameplay!!

i see these exact words every time this drama happens and it makes me want to KILL MYSELF. mincraft is not some niche old indie game it is the BEST SELLING VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME. it is worth BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. the fact that it gets free updates SHOULD be taken for granted
Thia 🪻🏳️⚧️ HUZZAH@MaybeHyacinthia
not to sound like a "minecraft glazer" but the hate on the updates feels so forced all the time like i want an end update as much as the next person but i feel like we should be grateful that this nearly 17 year old game is still getting free updates

"ever since yall agreed to smaller drops" WHO IS YALL
Spinosaurus@Sornaman2001
Minecraft fans have gotta realize that ever since ya'll agreed to smaller drops, every new update wont appeal to your interests. This game has a wide and broad player base who have different likings and view the game in a lot of ways.
