made this for no reason and then i remembered this post from earlier after
vanoreo@vanoreo.bsky.social · 6d agothe amount of time i've wasted on posts that didn't even do numbers is staggering but i still do it after all these years because its what makes me want to be alive
i bring a sort of ‘i fear neither pain nor death’ energy to the pedestrian/driver interaction that drivers don’t really like
Guys literally only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting
Quest 64 Official @quest64official.bsky.social · 6d agoHere's the complete set up for hot train action!
Nothing in this world pisses me off quite the same way as a bunch of grown men working together and complaining about how the others do their work, but then not actually communicating these issues and how they can be resolved JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER LIKE ADULTS JFC! IF IT BOTHERS YOU, SPEAK UP!
I wish I was in a town where I could get fresh seafood. Snoopy's Pier has been a family favorite for decades now, and I'm wearing one of their hats as a nod to what I'd rather be doing today 🤣
The goal is to satisfy the *emotions* behind every information need without providing real information.
Matt Seybold@mattseybold.bsky.social · last wk.The cross-platform enshittification of search functionality is such an infuriating exercise of authoritarian creep. They would like to kill the inclination to find information & enforce satisfaction with be fed information.
I will never stop fawning over FP45s, even if the visibility from the seat is atrocious (A little bit of daydreaming at the end because they're not gonna take my whimsy, goddammit)
It's impressive how many ethical quandaries can be solved by asking yourself, "Would Weird Al be cool with this?"
Steven Santos@stevensantos.bsky.social · 2w agoGuess who had the integrity not to accept $1 million to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival last year?
Reason #1544 that I'm glad I didn't go to a Class 1 railroad: It's hot as hell today in Texas, so after doing a bit of our work, my conductor and I parked our train and got ice cream from a locally owned small business 🙂 BNSF or Union Pacific would probably fire me for that
The shop where I'm getting my car inspected is playing Cody Johnson's "I Want You" and holy shit, this song is all about spousal abuse and anger management issues. What the actual fuck?! Why does this get air time? Why is this the kind of relationship that's being glorified? That's really gross.
If anyone wants to do a study on a lack of self preservation, I invite you to Texas so that I can point out the same 4 coyotes I have to stop my train for EVERY FUCKING NIGHT because they want to sit in between the rails and stare at me
May the buyers of this have their entire 40+ year collection sold by their clueless grandchildren to some autistic trans catgirl for a single Pokémon booster box. #modeltrains
An absolutely beautiful glimpse into another era. I think the song used to accompany it is hauntingly beautiful ❤️
Michael Warburton@michaelwarburton.bsky.social · 3w agoFascinating colourised film of life on HAWAII in 1924.
Nothing breaks my heart in quite the same way as driving a train past a golf course with no one on it, thus no drives to fuck up by blowing the horn at just the right time 🥲

One of the scummiest guys I've ever worked with is going through, IMO, a very clear grifter arc after getting himself re-fired from the really good job he had. His attempts at "going straight" with a roofing company and the associated advertisements are painful, but this one took the cake.
