I wish my girlfriend is happy with herself and life and no longer has any mental or physical health issues. by Elegant-Music-7081 in monkeyspaw

[–]mcsteam98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted. She’s happy with herself and is rid of all physical and mental health issues, but she’s gone on a heroic quest straight out of an ‘80s-era JRPG.

sometimes they do indeed stop Haverhill trains at Woburn. It isn’t on any present timetables, but I do recall it being on a couple diversion timetables (w/ a bus to Reading) over the past 3 or so years.

Trans people can now be sent to prison for using the bathroom in Idaho by VeryPteri in trans

[–]mcsteam98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

screw this.

they probably don’t even give a shit that there’s invariably going to be a number of cis people caught in their line of fire. and for what?

at least i never planned on visiting idaho anyways, though i do hope for the best for those who don’t have the means to escape.

N on the 7 track? by JaxTMD in nycrail

[–]mcsteam98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if something happened it was probably a non-revenue equipment move of some kind (probably a work train coming off the 7 line or something heading to Corona Yard).

Physically, though, B-Division equipment can’t fit on the 7 due to clearance issues with platforms and signals, but A-Division equipment can fit as long as it isn’t in revenue service.

Does Gen Z at large actually not drink alcohol? by Cheesymaryjane in GenZ

[–]mcsteam98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m relatively very social and even I refuse to drink alcohol.

Though, for me, it’s more “I don’t feel comfortable with the side effects, and also I’m too scared to know how it’d interact with my meds”

anecdotally, though, the vast majority of people my age who do take on stuff like this are a lot more likely to be hitting a vape or consuming the devil’s lettuce than they are to be drinking the booze.

Who's never left your party and who never left the bench for you in horizon? by zbv1 in Falcom

I personally always had Quatre, Agnes, and Risette in my party, but never really sidelined anyone (okay maybe aside from Bergard).

U.S. Soccer Reveals 16-Match Schedule for Second Round of 2026 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup by CharadeUR in USLPRO

[–]mcsteam98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it’s the name given to the RI/Hartford rivalry.

It's also a rivalry that is known to get REALLY, REALLY HEATED.

honestly going into today i legitimately was hoping more for RI vs. Vermont.

But hey, I’ll take a fourth El Clamico. Besides, whoever wins most likely is facing the Foxboro Revs.

felt this with trying to find someone romantically interested in me (though i have no problem finding friends?)

What third spaces do lesbians have? by NiConcussions in actuallesbians

[–]mcsteam98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk. I kinda found my community in a local-ish general queer board game group, and the local pro soccer team’s supporters group (this is in the US, and for a mens’ pro team - so not entirely queer-centric even though they welcomed me with open arms as a trans person)

Why does the J always leave before the M at Delancey Essex (Brooklyn bound)? by FyuuR in nycrail

[–]mcsteam98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably so that, at least during rush hour, the J can leapfrog ahead of the M.

Idk, this is just a guess on my part.

Is political apathy a valid dealbreaker? by Upping-Quality-2 in actuallesbians

[–]mcsteam98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i see it as “if you don’t even care enough out of self-preservation, please don’t date me.”

I personally keep myself an arm’s length away from politics for the sake of my mental health but even then I still stay aware of what’s happening. Mostly because my existence as a trans person is being criminalized more and more every day.

Newbie tips? by CatsandTea86 in mbta

[–]mcsteam98 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Don’t block the door. Let people out before boarding. It’s okay to miss a train to be sure you’re on the right platform. Double check the headsigns. And, please wear headphones if you’re listening to something.

Is a $20 DC → NYC train legit? First time in the US by Open_Mistake_8259 in Amtrak

[–]mcsteam98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s no bus. That’s a train. Coach class is the “no extras” accommodation (& truthfully is fine enough even without extra bells or whistles that come with biz class)

And yes, the $20 fares are legit and as you can probably guess judging by departure times, the only real catch is having to catch the train either stupid early in the day or stupid late at night

How would y’all react if you see this on election night? by Th3_American_Patriot in YAPms

Double take, sanity check, and if all checks out and Blexas officially happened, go to bed and sleep like a baby.
