It absolutely can be, and there are plenty of do it yourself plans out there. They just tend to be pretty expensive. It's nice that there's something out there now just completely open.

Alright, gotta say that this is really cool. Has the same vibes as a Sears catalogue house, which is one of my favorite pieces of Americana.

Being a complete moron ain't exclusive to straight people.

Which isn't exactly a large leap if you're a believer. If you believe God can do all the other stuff, divine inspiration isn't exactly near the top of "well that's just hard to believe"

I really hate to break it to you, but I was at one last summer that had the same hours.

Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean it's not real.

While the dividend certainly played one of the biggest roles, it's far from the only one. Penn Central was doomed to fail from the start.

The Pennsylvania Railroad especially was just an absolute mess. Extreme amounts of embezzlement, an outright refusal to ever upgrade tracks, and the outright criminality of people like David Bevan were all just as, if not more to blame for it's death.

Selling off Conrail is still an inexplicably stupid decision to me, even looking at it from the full neoliberal brainrot angle.

Honestly? I really doubt that, unless you consider the events that lead up to Conrail as already having had their Boeing days. The American rail industry is an absolute disaster, and has been for decades. Derailments happen quite frequently (on average 3 a day in the US), you just actually hear about them now due to East Palestine. None of this is new.

Because asking nicely stopped fascism the first time

[–] Irremarkable@fedia.io 9 points 7 months ago

Yeah no, this is one where I'll almost always say you got to go with your gut.

I don't have basis for this being the case here, but often time people are able to hold out when the threats are against them, but it's a whole other story if there starts to be credible threats against your family.

That's part of it, yes

But there is also a hardcore contingent to which controlling women is the goal. Theocratic Fascists tend to be that way.

Oh trust me, if It was drivable, I would've kept it.

Unfortunately a younger, much more sleep deprived me flipped it one morning.

Loved that damn car
