@airmarshll@KevinCastley Trains are usually also way faster than driving. High speed trains are then on another level altogether.
Wild that driving is faster than taking the train in 🇺🇸 (at least between these two cities)
@airmarshll@KevinCastley Amtrak isn’t high speed rail right?
I rode the Acela from DC to Philly a few years ago, it was slow compared to trains in other parts of the world.
Domestic trains are usually better IMO since they go city centre to city centre, you don’t also have to show up xHour(s) prior.
@kingcaboosey@kylecoolky@DJSnM The flights are insanely cheap sometimes though, minor bit of BS/uncomfort for a few hours.
I’m doing a day trip to Madrid next week for £50 return- my airport parking is almost the same cost as my ticket!
@mma_matrix@Poor_Bastard @DJP242392399271 @GoodwinMJ Neither the left nor the right has clean hands here,political violence has erupted from both sides throughout history. Right-wing nutters have carried out mass shootings and domestic terror, while left-wing nutters have also resorted to bombings, assassinations, and riots. (2/2)
@mma_matrix@Poor_Bastard @DJP242392399271 @GoodwinMJ Executions can’t be called “rational” when history shows how often right-wing violence—like mass shootings, church attacks, and political assassinations—comes from an ideology that glorifies killing as justice. State-sanctioned executions echo that same destructive mindset (1/2)
@mma_matrix@Poor_Bastard @DJP242392399271 @GoodwinMJ Charlie Kirk's murderer deserves due process and sentencing, and in my opinion, not an eecution.
Things need to cool down, and we need to return to rational debate, instead of killing each other, and advocating for executions, etc.
@mma_matrix@Poor_Bastard @DJP242392399271 @GoodwinMJ I'm a strong believer that capital punishment is fundamentally intolerant, because taking a life in the name of "justice", is morally bankrupt.
There's plenty of evidence that shows, capital punishment doesn't act as a "deterrent" to crime
@AidyTmwl@MikeMartinGB@UK_Needs_Reform I think this is the right answer.
I wish I was taught more of our history going through school; there’s so much history adjacent to our own that we should have been taught.
A lot of +/- parts, that are so important. Aka 🇺🇸rev.
Fly 🇬🇧/🏴? Fill your boots. Just don’t graffiti!
What’s wrong with this world?
Kharkiv. Several air-dropped bombs. On a residential neighborhood. In broad daylight.
If it were New York or Paris — the world would burn with outrage.
But since it’s just Ukraine?
Silence.
F*ck everyone who stays silent and pretends not to see.
Was in a group company meeting on teams with like 60 people in it and one HR woman has been yapping for 15+ minutes so I just hit mute on her, thinking it worked like discord and just muted her for me.
Turns out I just muted her for everyone lmao
@_TheWhiteLion__@saintjavelin I think this is the guy that joined up to expedite his citizenship, and was promised a welding role in the rear, yet was sent to the frontline and is now 💀
I don’t think foreign volunteers in 🇺🇦 are being forced into the meat grinder.
I feel sorry for his kids.
Open mail. Bloody speeding ticket.
"I told you you drive too fast. And with the kids in the car too. It's dangerous. let this be a lesson to you."
Checks date of offence and who was driving. Wasn't me was it.
There really is no sweeter feeling. I'm just going to smile all day.
