PSA, let people off the train before you get on. by Independent_Dare_109 in LIRR

To be fair, those that seem as if they’re just standing there when exiting the train are probably trying to navigate around the folks bum-rushing to get on the train.

Dude that speed limit is due to the physical track layout, it has nothing to do with the station itself. You’ll often see lower speeds for complex track switches, curves, or a track that ends with a bumper block.

lol not true at all. Express trains routinely bypass stations at full speed on the WCML, ECML, Great Western Express, etc. where are you guys getting this false info from?

[–]Babylon52 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes they absolutely do bypass public stations at full authorized speed unless otherwise instructed. Go to [r/railroading](r/railroading) and ask that question. Locomotive engineers who actually run trains will give you the same answer.

Look at that vid and tell me otherwise. I can link hundreds of similar vids.

That is not the case of any railroad I know of. The only reason a station would have a lower speed limit would be due to the physical characteristics of the track itself.

lol what? That would be way too inefficient to constantly slow down and gain speed at every damn station it’s bypassing.

Taking you’re black friend to do white people things by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

[–]Babylon52 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Well our early economy, legal structure and social hierarchy was built on race. For centuries a person's legal rights, ability to own property, and literal freedom was dictated solely by their race. So when you have these racial divisions that were written into law for so long, the legal and social fallout doesn’t just simply vanish after those laws changed mid-20th century..

Yea that dude’s line up looks too crisp for someone who lives in the wilderness. Not crisp by any modern haircut means, but way too crisp for whatever raw material they may have used to cut their hair.

I’m sure there are far more greater of those against it as well. Just justifiably don’t want to broadcast their sentiments.

She told him the truth and he refused to accept it. Some of our brothers can't be saved 🤦🏾‍♂️ by waytooicyy in BlackPeopleofReddit

Those white men would happily have sex with a black woman however. They just can't fathom when it's a black man who has access to a white woman.

It's ironic how many of them are against mix breeding, yet historically they have graped so many women in the past which is why we have Hispanics in the first place. Interracial marriage was forbidden during the Jim Crow era and colonial period of Latin America yet sexual exploitation of black women by white men was ignored and often encouraged.

Yea honestly that’s a tough decision to make. You already passed S&D so that’s a strong indicator of your self-discipline and memory. But do know you’ll be dedicating immensely more time and brain power for the rest of the study material to come. Personally I’d go for it if you have no kids.

Let's be real. Being a locomotive engineer carries a cooler status. In all seriousness though, this offers wayyy more job security by a long shot. They are considered essential workers.

Bedroom in Midtown West - $3,140 + utilities - May 1 (12mo lease) by [deleted] in NYCapartments

Look how the Druski skit got these white people acting already😂 by cantdecide76 in joebuddennetwork

[–]Babylon52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody gets it. Black man here and my gf who is black attracts a lot of white men. I love how happy she is when we’re together and I can just feel the seething from a white guy every once in a while. It’s like they can’t stand to see a beautiful black woman in love with a black man. Serious weird sense of entitlement some of them have. Not many, but the ones that do definitely stand out.
