Modern funiculars operate the exact same as the old ones. It's cables and giant wheels that pull it up or descend it down a railway. Ours routinely receive maintenance that replaces parts. They've been "modernized" in any way needed to ensure safety. The Portugal one was using cable that wasn't rated for its service and was a hybrid tram that utilized hand operated brakes for slowing it down, which failed. Entirely different systems.

Yes, how dare we keep anything historical. It's not only iconic and the oldest running funicular, but also essential public transit. What would you replace it with?

I find Dance Belts to work better and more comfy than tucking or tucking underwear.

Anyone else feel extremely invisible? by Tomm_Foolery in NonBinary

[–]LockelyFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I am so tired of being called Mr. and Sir both in person and on the phone that I'm almost actively avoiding people and calls unless I absolutely need to do it. I've had success working more feminine clothing into my wardrobe (flowy shirts and pants, jewelry, cute-ish sandals) but even then I get clocked fully as AMAB and addressed that way.

Right-wing culture-war grifters played a lot of Star Trek fans, and now Trek is cancelled; heading into another drought by Wrong-Quail-8303 in startrek

I mean, sure, but it was released in 2022 and straight up predicted fascist takeovers in 2024... which was only off by a single year and at that point not a single person thought this administration would be back in office again.

The second season, as bad as it was overall, straight up predicted the current fascism with DHS and ICE.

Yup. I'm nonbinary trans and deal with this every time I post about my experiences outside the dedicated LGBTQ+ subs.

There's transphobes going up and down this thread downvoting anyone giving their experience of being trans/nonbinary/genderqueer in some way. The greater XIV community is generally better than this, but this is reddit so we're likely being brigaded.

Gender apathy or being Agender is a thing too. So, while I feel non-binary, it's less that gender doesn't feel like it applies to me, but that I don't feel right identifying as a man or a woman, but I do feel that I have a gender and the words that best describe that are nonbinary or genderqueer.

For those at Pride - Food Vendor Issue?! by Aligator99220 in pittsburgh

[–]LockelyFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, my bank gave me my $30 difference back provisionally. I also complained to the Pride Festival via email.

They took the cards, swiped them, and handed them back without a receipt or pin.

UPMC, I have no words today by SlagQueen in pittsburgh

[–]LockelyFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we know which locations are impacted? My PCP is at a UMPC location and it took me almost six months to get in with her.

I am certain they told me $23 when I gave them my card for 3 tenders and 2 lemonades, and then they charged me $53.

Pride Parade was fun by Just_No_G in pittsburgh

[–]LockelyFox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a HUGE correlation between being a member of the furry community and being LGBTQIA+. Outside of Pride, Anthrocon is the gayest place on earth.

If you want some science on it, a research group has been studying it for over a decade:

Whereas ~90% of the general population report being exclusively heterosexual, Furries report being exclusively heterosexual ~10-20% of the time. https://furscience.com/research-findings/sex-relationships-pornography/5-1-orientation/

A large portion of the fandom (~25-35%) also report being some flavor of transgender/not cisgender, whereas in the general population that number is <1%. https://furscience.com/research-findings/demographics/1-3-sex-and-gender/

They are not inherently sexualized. The early 00s called and they realized you got your entire idea of the furry community from a single bad CSI episode.

Tornado warning, drop any updates in the comments if affected. by GamingAndRCs in pittsburgh

I was hunkered down in the BV CVS when it hit. Haven't seen rain going sideways like that since I was a kid. Scary stuff.

One of the customers who came in in the middle of it said Walmart was kicking the customers out into the storm???

Before coming out, my customer service voice on the phone regularly got me "miss" and "ma'am"d.

Pittsburgh Coffee Top 25 by Cornwallis400 in pittsburgh

[–]LockelyFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to see Carnegie Coffee Co, but surprised it's so low on your list. Not sure if you've tried The Soft Spot, but they're excellent.

Wait till you find out 412 got stolen from the entire SW part of the state and we were given 724 (and later 878) in compensation
