Edit: Point of clarity, when I say short distances, I take the trains 1-2 stops no matter how far the train is going, no more than 40 miles from home typically. Even if the train is normally used for people traveling for halfway across the country.
NORTHERN TERRITORY, YOU GET IN HEA THIS BLOODY INSTANCE
I don’t think that OP is saying they’re identical or that you should drink instead of smoke; but you’re not immune to having any issues if you smoke weed. It’s 100% safer and better than alcohol, but at the end of the day it’s a substance with side effects and risk of dependance just like any other drug and all things in moderation
I love Washington but it’s painfully unfair with taxes. We generally pay 10 cents on the dollar for every purchase whether you’re making 30k a year or 30k a minute
Now that the cafes are open on the ferries it feels like such a proper voyage to take one of them. I love our ferries
Protestor: bursts into his country’s parliament THE JEWS CONTROL THE GOVERNMENT
Everyone in the Knesset: 👀
If you look closely at any demographics you’ll find anomalies. Someone pointed out that “the Irish control the US police” because they are disproportionately represented
Not as bad as Ernst Rohm, but certainly joins the category of “secretely gay evil historical figures”
Ceaucescu was pretty insane so it doesn’t surprise me (yes ik he wasn’t in power then, but Romania took communism seriously af)
“Pedophile” doesn’t even refer to people who want to have sex with teens, but what a great way for Walsh to admit he’s a predator who wants to bang a teenager
Pittsburgh is supposedly cloudier than Seattle, don’t know how they do it!
Only on trains destined for 1,000 miles or longer, with very few exceptions. This doesn’t mean you have to get it for a long time, however. In theory, you could buy a private room for a train and get off 5 minutes later. This guy did just that, he’s one of the people who intrigued me about Amtrak voyagers.
I will say, I did manage to get a private room for a four hour trip because you can put in low bids for upgrades, and while I paid $100 for a one way trip that people usually pay as little as $20 for, it was arguably the most comfortable I’ve ever been traveling in my life
The escapism. I love travel and it feels more like a “proper” trip, but obvious logistical constraints prevent me from traveling far all the time. So it’s just fun for me to be on a train with people on a big trip to somewhere far away and watch the scenery go by, and walk around, but not have to commit to actually taking a long trip.
Okay update, I need to clarify, when I talk about short distance vs long distance, I’m referring to how far the trains go themselves. I personally take those trains a very short distance, no more than 40 miles ☺️.
But yes, go take an Amtrak train somewhere, they’re fun!
Short distance is typically a local route of 400miles. Long Distance trains are typically 1,500-2,500.
It varies a lot. I always find that there’s cheap prices for trips day of or night before because a lot of people cancel, but then it’s pricier until you book a month or so out, and then gets cheaper.
Without getting into too much detail, there’s one route that takes 30min-1hr (depends if I go one or two stops) that hugs the water for most of it and it is gorgeous
Well big congrats to you dude. Sucks how many people seem to get hooked at a young age, but there’s a lot more life ahead for you, and with it, a lot more sobriety.
Were you inspired to post this because of the guy who “just tried it once and totally won’t do it again but lowkey it was the greatest thing I’ve ever experienced”?
Do you think you’re genuinely more lucky than other people or do you just have a positive grateful outlook on life?
Rage Against the Machine: Imma pretend I didn’t see that
The Cambodian genocide is insane because it’s the only example I know of a self-genocide. Pol Pot killed a 1/4 of his own race and would have continued if the Vietnamese didn’t invade
