  • Which does point towards some non-hetero sexcapade, because pretty much everything else he's famous for already having done.

    I still think he's pathetically easy to manipulate for dictators.

  • I used to think that, but there's nothing Trump could have done that the loony right wing public wouldn't gleefully dismiss as not important. (Well, apart from a lewd orgy with trans Muslim Mexican immigrants, but I don't think any of those exist, and Trump would just call it faked anyway.)

    Now I think that Putin just rings him up to tell him what a great president he is and all the world admires how strong a leader he is, not like those weak Democrats who (insert policy Putin wants dropped), no, Trump is a strong and courageous leader and everyone can tell how strong and virile he is because he supports policies like (insert policy that Putin wants implemented).

    I mean maybe there's a video of Trump shouting "Yes, shove that big beautiful black dildo in me harder!", but I don't think it's necessary at all. See how easy it was for the North Korean president to get Trump to completely change direction. He just sweet talked him for a bit. Trump is an absolute sucker for someone he perceives as strong telling him he's great. American foreign policy is at the whim of any world leader who can make Trump feel proud of himself for a week.

  • President Musk flexing his muscles even before puppet inauguration.

    One thing I wondered is what would happen if Putin and Musk disagree at some point about what Trump is supposed to do? But the answer is actually easy: whoever strokes Trump's ego better at the time gets their policy through. Trump lives in the moment.

  • I've travelled on hundreds and hundreds of trains in the UK. On busy services, unless you're getting on at the start, if you don't have a specific seat reserved, you will be standing. This is normal. I don't have a source for that claim, I just have many years of experience.

    There's a plausibility gap on capping ticket sales for trains. Why on earth would they stop selling "anytime" tickets? They're really expensive and a train with plenty of people standing costs the company no more but earns them a great deal.

    What's unusual here is that this looks like it came with an "advance" ticket, which is cheaper, limited in number, only available in advance, and is required to come with a reserved seat, but they've clearly oversold even them.

  • No, only individual seats are reserved. There's no "reservations only" carriage, but there are carriages that are more or less reserved. Off the top of my head, I think coach B is often very close to, but never actually fully reserved, whereas D has only a minority of awards reserved.

    Rules rule.

    Remember, you are 10 times more awesome than you think you are, and 1000 times more awesome than some shitty hater made you feel.

    Summary: You are awesome.

    Reminder: Awesome.

    What does the term "shitpost" actually mean?

    It gets used online for things, and there are whole communities devoted to shitposting, but I can't find a clear set of rules for something to count as a shitpost. I remember querying whether a post on a shitposting community was witty enough to be a shitpost rather than just a shitty post, but of course not all the responses to that were terribly helpful!
