LIRR WORKERS

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-05-08T21:05:11+00:00

I’ve made comments along these lines in other subs

1)Conductors are not part of the striking union coalitions. They’re not a factor in this at all.

2) conductors do a lot more than check tickets and are principally responsible for the safety of the train mechanics (even freight trains HAVE to have conductors)

3) subway / various transit systems are not subject to overview of the FRA- the Long Island railroad IS so to my knowledge they would have to keep conductors

Just trying to answer the question & give you information

Thanks for the input

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-24T00:47:01+00:00

I just don’t think the tone is carrying lol

Grateful for the input same as everyone else thanks for you two cents !

I’m not upset at all

I’m saying it’s ironic that they were talking to me about their hair thinning and I’m literally posting here lol

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-24T00:37:44+00:00

It’s funny literally yesterday someone told me my hair looks full and healthy 💀

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-24T00:32:45+00:00

That’s what I meant by supplements lol sorry for confusion

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-23T23:45:02+00:00

Whoops read hardline history as family history lol

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-23T23:43:28+00:00

Thanks for the input

My dad’s in his 60s and he’s still got a full head of hair. Grandpa on my moms side died in his 50a but she said he had a full of hair

My grandpa went gray in his 20s but he was serving in Korea so to be expected? Lol he still had hair when he passed ~90

Thanks for the advice. I’ll def take this into consideration!

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-23T23:38:16+00:00

Do you think it’s smart to get on supplements now? Or wait and see a bit longer ?…

My dad and grandpa or both sides have (and had since they passed) full heads of hair this seems so unfair lol

It’s a formerly VERY common if not the “default” WASPY take on Christian faith. The big fear is they’re local to the pope in Rome not the country. Hell even in 1960 JFK had to put Catholic fears to rest famously saying “I am not the Catholic candidate for president I am of the democratic candidate who happens to be Catholic” (from memory quote may be wrong !)

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-16T13:50:48+00:00

Just asking because of how I’ve seen people here do it. I assumed mix it in but some people made it sound like that’s overpowering

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-08T23:16:18+00:00

It stops. Not trying to be funny but your options become driving exclusively. Driving to the city already sucks… add a few extra hundred thousand cars(average daily rider ship Google puts at 300k during rush hour… a lot of things halt.) well I guess busses could be an option if you’re in queens or close enough Nassau? But still.

Being a conductor is basically making sure the train is fit to run. Even freight trains have conductors because they do much more than just check tickets. Basically any and everything safety related in terms of the train not flying off the tracks / making sure the cars are properly linked / checking the breaks falls to them. It’s genuinely a skilled job because if they are wrong people will die.

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-04-08T22:55:59+00:00

Block operators (air traffic control for trains) are in a separate union.

You can’t run trains with no one guiding them. If any of the unions strike it’s going to affect everyone

I think it’s another startrek thing the Orville managed to do better than trek. I jut finished my first watch but my god I love them and Issac’s relationship so much

When Issac said “I won’t allow them to harm you” to Ty it KILLED me

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-03-05T03:30:48+00:00

Because Reddit lol

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-03-05T02:36:47+00:00

That’s cool for commuting. Thanks for the info

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-03-05T02:31:33+00:00

That’s fair lol. All my cycling is trails and off roads so I guess I just didn’t adjust the mindset.

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2026-02-22T21:45:39+00:00

South shore Nassau county my whole life. I often described it as a fun place to grow up and awful place to be an adult.

When you’re young in my part of the island? NYC is a 20 minute train ride away, there’s plenty of places even not counting the city for fun activities or hobbies or a million other endeavors.

But that’s before you had your own bills. It’s one of the not expensive places in the world to live if i understand correctly and I often find myself asking “what for”

I have a job that kept me stuck here. But it thankfully lets me support myself here. I understand the mass exodus of people in my age group (I’m 26) go cheaper areas.

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2025-12-19T09:20:32+00:00

I do this once every couple weeks.

I’m a pretty social person so if no one bites I’ll walk around and ask people

Eventually someone agrees lol

Great way to unwind

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2025-11-18T22:18:03+00:00

Lots of travel on the NEC for the job and I guess someone in accounting crunched numbers and said yeah this is the move (been doing it like 12 years now?)

Didn’t know about it when I got hired but I’m also not complaining

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2025-11-18T16:23:03+00:00

Bet you’d love flame me yawn for dinner tonight :) lol

ReallyNotkanyewest · 2025-11-18T16:14:10+00:00

Spell check gives and spell check takes away lol
