All of those are phenomenal arguments for heavily reinvesting in our freight rail.

Your history is wrong. We had begun industrializing about 100 years before trucks were invented and more like 160 before they really became dominant.

And are you literally arguing that building rail is more cost prohibitive, time consuming, and inflexible than building roads? Like actually? Unironically? I'm sorry, buddy, but when you start getting into numbers, that's my territory and you're out of your depth. https://alankandel.scienceblog.com/2014/01/11/rails-vs-roads-for-value-utilization-emissions-savings-difference-like-night-and-day/

If only we properly invested in history education in this country. Then maybe people wouldn't be embarrassing themselves by making arguments like yours.

So the same girl from last week who I made out with at a bar came over on Friday, we made cocktails, she was having some shoulder pain so I gave her a massage with some Tiger Balm, which seemed to help, and then I discovered that she gets extremely turned on by having her ears licked, as well as by nipple play, and also by me regularly reaffirming that we're not going to do anything before she's ready to, because consent is sexy. As such, we stayed partially clothed and there was no penetration, but there was plenty of making out, groping, and grinding.

I have a couple of days off this week, including Thursday, and both of our families live far away, so I asked if she'd like to get together on Thanksgiving so she could make like a turkey and get stuffed, and she said that sounded hot. Will report back with an update next week.

The person I've started seeing from Hinge in recent days told me that the biggest reason she rolled with my profile was because I seemed like I was "relatively normal" and not a techbro or finance bro. Apparently this is prevalent enough around here that for someone who's not into it, a profile that features a dad joke about the members of punk and metal bands standing really far apart because "your band width determines your speed," offers "Live Without at an abandoned Denny's in Houston" as an option for a past event to time travel to, and lists "worker ownership of the means of production" as a "simple pleasure" qualifies you as "normal."

But hey, that in turn means I'm not attracting the kinds of girls who go for techbros, which I see as an absolute win.

I was 19 when I had my so-far worst one, now 28. I dealt with it by going trail running. I had an intramural trail running club I was helping to lead at the time, and wound up captaining for a couple of years, and I would go extra hard with the lead group because at the time it felt like pushing myself through the pain helped my mental suffering (and it was healthier than self-harm). About six months after the breakup I set a five-mile time at a community race that was a good two minutes faster than my previous PR, and which I haven't come close to since.

I also had really supportive friends and wrote some really angsty songs.

That being said, I also almost had to drop out of college because my grades tanked, and only got to stay because I was lucky enough to qualify into the music department on a good audition for a probationary quarter, and then get my shit together long enough to pass the classes I needed to declare the major. So your mileage may vary.

There's a rail station in my neighborhood (in the middle of the freeway that also runs through my neighborhood, fucking awesome thanks California) that has some five-story apartment buildings near it, but the nearest grocer is 1.7 miles away. It would literally be faster to walk to the train station, take the train to the city, get your groceries, and then take the train back than to walk to the one that's actually close. Whose fucking idea was this?

As it should be.

Israel invaded Palestine. History didn't start a week ago.

I mean, if you want to go down that rabbit hole, you certainly can dig into centuries of imperialism and oppression in Africa by outside colonial powers.

Wait, did I misunderstand you the whole time? Are you actually saying that the problem with puberty blockers is that they block puberty? Did you somehow miss where that's literally the entire point of them?

Also, repeating the same claim you just made again while ignoring the authoritative source I just provided that contradicts it is some shit I see creationists doing. Not a good look. If you support trans people, like you say in your next comment, then why are you arguing this in the same way someone who doesn't support trans people would?
