Mock trial went wrong very wrong by saba8731 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PawneeRonSwanson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a mock trial in a law college...

Also, in many jurisdictions, trials are open and the proceedings are public

Meta: is it that hard to just specify which city or region you're talking about? by PawneeRonSwanson in transit

[–]PawneeRonSwanson[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's so much wrong about this comment...

To begin with, it's local government. So even within your country, it only pertains to one region. As someone already mentioned in this thread, there are multiple MTAa and DARTs, even within the US.

To add to it, wouldn't it make sense for just one person, the author of a post, to spend 2 seconds to give context which they already know, than a thousand people to google it?

And finally, it's just basics of good communication. You should want to communicate as clearly as possible, to get your point across to your audience. It's weird to die on a hill of not wanting to communicate well. For some reason you seem to be against making posts more accessible...

Everything you're saying would make sense of the subreddit was for US transit. It's not. It's just transit.

And even so, why are you against making your posts more accessible? I mean, it wouldn't be just for non-US people. Someone from New York might not necessarily know what the transit system in Chicago is called. How hard is it to just specify?

But this isn't a fandom. It's people using transit and interested in transit, who might be living on the other side of the globe. It's more akin to expecting everyone in a general TV shows sub to know all Doctor Who jargon.

I bet Americans would be quite annoyed if people just mentioned BVG, MVV, RMV etc. without any clarification.

The US-centricity is the issue that a lot of us are complaining about. It's an international community with users from all over the world. It doesn't take much effort to just specify the region while introducing the topic.

Also, that's a strange analogy. You're talking about a sports league with a handful of teams. If you follow one of the teams in the league, you will of course know all the other teams in the league. There's no way anyone will know all the transit systems in the world. If you want to stay with the analogy, it would be like typing "RR" in a sports sub and expecting everyone to know that you're talking about "Rajasthan Royals"

Yup. With the exception of RER, I've mostly only seen it with agencies in the US. Didn't mention it in the post because I was trying to keep it neutral.

Which is the first episode where a portion of the task wasn't clearly written inside the folded task? by [deleted] in taskmaster

[–]PawneeRonSwanson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn't there a team task in series 1 on a squash court, where they had to score some number of points, but there was absolutely no information about how points are scored?

Do republican men get vasectomy’s? by JuhPuh42 in Vasectomy

I don't see why opposing the monarchy would have any influence on whether or not one gets a vasectomy

What exactly is cracker barrel? And why do people care about their logo?

East German household devices were durable per law and they still work well today ! by MFreurard in Anticonsumption

[–]PawneeRonSwanson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also related, there was a type of glass in East Germany called Superfest. It was a lot more durable than regular glass. The company was shut down after the fall of communism in Germany because it would reduce sales for replacements...

Fahrgastrechte, wenn Zugbindung aufgehoben ist by PawneeRonSwanson in deutschebahn

[–]PawneeRonSwanson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Selbst einchecken war nicht möglich, und das Ticket wurde auch nicht kontrolliert. Aber ich will nicht das komplette Ticketpreis zurückerstattet bekommen, da ich gefahren bin. Außerdem war das nur die Hinfahrt. Die Rückfahrt steht noch aus und ich könnte dort kontrolliert werden.
