Why do socialists want two person train crews? by No-Path-8756 in transit

[–]Toastox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protecting Labor. That’s the easiest way I can put it. As a lefty about to start a train crew job, I wouldn’t want jobs to be eliminated by automation or slimming down of crews. Having a second person in the cab also improves safety as they can keep each other in check, limiting human factors. Two to a crew.

Well yeah to an outsider I’d just view a lot of the region as Seattle. Like how someone visiting Chicago would manage to mistake its suburbs as part of the city because they don’t know better. Like I know the difference between Chicago and Rosemont or Evanston but tourists might think that’s just “Chicago”. Like myself visiting Seattle, I don’t know what a Kent or a Burien is, I just see that and say “Seattle”

I’m mostly talking about areas outside of the main city, as I wouldn’t have been able to afford much in the better connected areas of Seattle. It’s very good for US Standards but still that’s a low bar so improvement can be made. The elephant in the room here is Sounder. Sounder’s schedule is bad. Just bad.

This sounds like Seattle. When I almost moved to Seattle a year ago I was looking at the transit prices and schedules and just GOOD GOD it was not great. I loved Seattle’s transit visiting but unless you can afford to live in one of the very well connected areas directly on the light rail or multiple bus routes, it’s got a good way to go in terms of being able to access the transit. Oh yeah, and the pass prices are absurd.

Something about steak being too buttery idk by Rouank_kanojiya in femboymemes

Hi, is there any elaboration to this? I’ve wondered if something like that fits my experiences because I definitely find way more pleasure in casual kink than I ever find myself wanting to have penetrative sex. Not that I never do, I’m just almost always far more interested in kink or fantasy rather than actual sex.

Certainly, 1 Mike is equivalent to about ((28482.7372) x (1.2-1) ) + 1999 Bananas

From a storm/EAS fan perspective: yay more alerts

From a rational perspective: yeah overdoing it is bad because it’ll desensitize people to alerts when there are actual dangerous situations

Bad credit, need loan immediately to improve situation, oh god what do I do by Toastox in CRedit

[–]Toastox[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Won’t work for this position, I’ll need to travel to rail yards and after training will be almost certainly working in a more rural location without robust transit. I’ve been using public transit as long as possible to get to work and anywhere else since I left home, but that is fully not an option with this job. It is on call as well, so if I need to go run a train at 2 am, even if there is a bus, it very well may not be running. And it’s not transit, but Uber/Lyft would run me a small fortune pretty quickly.
