shplane@lemmy.worldto Political Humor@lemmy.world•Fare free buses?! This monster needs to be stopped.English35·5 days agoYes but many of these would require taxing the rich, which I’m against because I might somehow become rich one day through virtually no effort or understanding of how one becomes rich to begin with

shplane@lemmy.worldto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Trump International Golf ClubEnglish18·8 days agoWorse? Maybe. Likely to throw out the amendment that restricts a third term? Almost certainly not. I’m more worried about Trump appointing himself as king than I am three and a half years of Vance. Plus he won’t be able to maintain the psychotic cult that Trump’s got going on right now.

You’re right, my previous comment doesn’t quite follow the wholesome theme here.
Many commenters are under the impression that the train is leaving the station solely to pick up this student, drop her off at school, and then travel back to the station. That would make sense if it was a taxi of some sort and she was the only passenger. However, trains in Japan have long routes, multiple stops, and pick up many, many passengers along the way. Keeping this stop for this student might add a few minutes to the total time it takes the train to run its full route but in no way is it a dramatic waste of resources and time that some people here are claiming. I’ve ridden on trains in Japan with hundreds of passengers that traveled hundreds of miles. Sometimes a train would make a stop in a rural area to pick up a few folks and other times we’d stop in a major city and pick up dozens of people. If one of those rural stops were nixed, I (as an existing passenger on the train) would barely notice a difference (maybe save a few minutes on my route), but I would bet the few folks who depend on that stop would be severely inconvenienced and struggle to find alternative means of transportation.

Greta refuses to make it about herself and keeps mentioning the suffering of Palestinians.English7·18 days agoSame reason they have 12 police officers in riot gear walking along side Luigi. To make Greta appear to be a greater threat than she actually is.
shplane@lemmy.worldto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•[Video] Interview with released hostage Greta Thunberg. Greta refuses to make it about herself and keeps mentioning the suffering of Palestinians.English7·18 days agoI can’t remember the exact quote from Herman Hesse but it’s something like, “A person cannot conceive a quality in another that they don’t also have within themselves.” The reason so many people question Greta’s motives is because they are inherently selfish and Greta’s altruism is impossible for them to understand. The only reason they’d do anything that appears to be heroic is for their own ego or self serving means.
Had to change the wording in my grants from “biodiversity” to “biological variety”. I work in conservation. This is indeed insanity.
