The Dallas system seems really nice for having to cover such a huge area.

Yeah, considering the Dallas metro area covers almost 10,000 sq miles (~24,000 sq km) they do a solid job of covering the most densely populated areas/major commercial spots with the one major exception of Arlington
 
Yeah, it's a huge area to cover, and good on them for actually investing in meaningful public transit.

No I think your anger has been pretty rational given the fact that you have given no5 the benefit of the doubt for years and even went above and beyond to fact-check all of his claims multiple times without him deigning to look at them.

I think he was right to call it irrational.
Perun knows me well and he should know that I'm not at all the sarcastic type. But even if he didn't it was obvious from the contest and tone that I was serious and he recognised that afterwards.
I don't know how you draw all those conclusions. What if I have difficulties to read large posts? What if it's easier for me to watch videos instead? I have posted videos from time to time as a reply and nobody watched them. I didn't complain. But the opposite seems not acceptable.
Peace!
 
I've always liked Chicago's rail system, but, it works best if your ultimate destination is the Loop proper, otherwise you're just transiting through the Loop.

I can't sing the praises of New York City's public transit system enough. NYC and London I think have nailed it.

Chicago’s rail system is very Chicago, though. “Is it the best? No, but it works. Is it the fastest? No, but so what, maybe leave earlier, stupid. Is it the most well designed? Second best! Probably! Shut up and have a beer already!”
 
They're not shy to show their admiration for fascism anymore. Bannon the next guy to throw the sieg heil (without saying the actual words of course).

Maybe to distract from the fact they're working in overdrive to move power from the legislative and juidicial branches of government to the executive.

But that someone isn't booed off stage for throwing out an actual nazi salute at a "conservative" rally tells everything about the current state of the American right. It HAS become a cult. Those conservatives who have issues with it keep quiet, or join in with the applause to appease the Führer.

Nah, the only thing "not acceptable" is that a comprehensive post outlining the issues you consistently feature in your posts was made, you acknowledged it and claimed that you'd come back to it, but you actively avoid taking accountability for your actions and your behavior on the forum. You claim to not having the time to respond, yet you're here all the time merrily posting away, continuing with the same bad faith behavior that was specifically called out and even joking about not having responded yet.

Hope that cleared up any potential confusion, peace!
 
I must believe my eyes, I saw it twice already.
Instantly I thought there might be no elections in 4 years.
They clearly are trying to tell us something, to provoke a reaction, to confuse us. But this is no way a just happened thing.
 
If Trump will turn to the dark side of the force for real, he will be removed. Just a prediction thought.
 
It won’t happen overnight but if nazi salutes keep coming, it may, eventually. Bannon doesn’t just throw salutes like that, there’s a method in madness.

The method is that lots of MAGAs are heiling, and he's joining in while surrendering to Musk.
 
"The US has demanded Ukraine withdraw from the UN resolution condemning Russia for invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine has rejected this."

So far it only gets worse... Is Trump:
a) powerful moron
b) narcissistic, dictator loving psycho
c) KGB agent
d) all of the above

----- Edit. I hope he's onto something:

Trump purged the Joint Chiefs of Staff last night, firing the Chairman and two members because they were "woke". The Chairman was black, and the other two fired members were women.

His appointment to be the new Chairman is a retired general who donned MAGA hats while on duty in violation of uniform code. He is legally not qualified for the role of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and will need a Senate waiver.

To be clear, this is an attempt to remove the US military as a potential actor to remove Trump's dictatorship.

Nah man, it's just to stop that lawfare. Which is also why he has issued an EO that courts have to abide by his interpretation of the law.
