They still do.

This is what's crazy about it all.

What are people supposed to post in People Twitter then?

This is it.

My wife comes home and fires on all cylinders about her day. Then I share how much my one coworker sucks and what they did today.

Then we wonder about the heat death of the universe.

Do you... Like stuff?

Really expensive for the use case.

I considered it recently but then the flipper zero community was like "Spend $15 bucks for a universal remote man."

Bro the biggest asshole in my neighborhood was a sheriff. Parking in the lawn, playing loud music, having a shooting range in their back yard.

Was very "Thanks for the concern." And did nothing all the time.

In comparison to other countries? Yeah.

Shame that every country that's balls enough to raise gasoline prices gets Iraq War'd.

I thought I was losing it because this app wanted to save things to a "downloads" folder. Only to find out it saves it in something like

documents/app name/downloads Instead of

Downloads/

The sample size that travel are a minority. A large percentage of Americans don't even travel out of the country.

Worse, I thought it was like a specific type of people. But my company did a poll to gauge where we should have our company retreat, and 80% admitted to not having a passport.

Something I'm curious of is how many train companies exist in Europe that push for more rails.

In America, there's not that many train companies for people. Most are for commerce. There's also a lot of political backdoor stuff, like airlines getting priority, states not interested in funding it, counties having a voice about it all.

I was thinking about this when I went to Japan, and how Tokyo has MANY competing rail lines, and the population literally having factions over what company they prefer to ride over. Which sounds like a dream.

Now that it's insanely expensive and inconvenient to fly, and we shouldn't be doing it, it's time for the US to build HSR for realsies, if the automotive / fossil fuel industrial complex will let us.

I took an Amtrak from Quebec to Washington DC. The entire process was amazing. Hung out at the train station. Walked around on the train. Sat in massive ass seats. The bathroom was the size of a new York apartment. No TSA, metal detectors, overpriced food and drinks, getting blown up with ads.

Greyhound is unfortunately the next best thing if you don't live in a major city.

I feel so much frustration that driving and flying are the primary ways it travel in the US.

As if he came from the Nazi-verse where everyone is a Nazi and was like, "Oh boy let's check out this punk show".
