    A city I used to live in had a bridge like this in a major inner-city commercial area just outside the CBD. Would cause havoc for commuters because the bridge was for the southern train lines entering the CBD and was on a busy road entering an major arterial.

    All the traffic got held up and diverted, the trains couldn’t run until engineers inspected the bridge.

    I don’t think you understand that, like always with the same old small minority of vegans that go out there being cruel to people, these posts are reactive to recent poor behaviour. For this reason, it’s unusual for anyone to empathise with these types of people, regardless of ideology, unless you are in defence of their antagonising of others; which is fine, just don’t be surprised by the ongoing discourse not being in favour of that position.




  • My dog’s a bit like this. The breed’s definitely not for retrieving, so when he brings me something it’s to play tug with it, or he’s gifting it to me or just really happy and showing me. I have to be careful with his body language because if I throw something instead of praising him or showing interest, I can tell he gets confused and sad, like he failed me. But if I seem happy and interested, hell trot off with a spring in his step either leaving the “gift” with me, or still with it in his mouth happy that I think it’s cool too.

    My friend used to climb massive pine trees late at night in a park across his street, and place traffic cones on top. No one knew who was doing it or why. Many people thought it was the local council marking the trees to be cut down which upset residents. He started noticing police regularly patrolling the area, but he kept doing it and never got caught. It made the local paper, explaining how much confusion and disruption it was causing the police and local council. He hung the article on his wall.

    You make me feel old for realising people younger than me have not ever realised this. But it makes sense now I type it… out loud(?)

    Back in my day the Steam UI was army green and you’d use it to play all the LAN games your mate had by copying their entire Steam folder over to yours a couple hours before the LAN started. And that was it. That was the “install”. You had Steam and all the HL mods like DoD and CS. Primed and ready to get noise complaints from the neighbours.
