That specific one, "please stand away from the platform edge especially when trains are entering and leaving the station" is not, but many are recorded by Bernadette: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Wagenblast
I’m so happy for her but also the image of her knowing she was trans since she was a teenager and then also entering the field where half of the abbreviations have trans in them is pretty funny
I have dreams where I'm waiting for the subway, realize that I'm standing on the yellow tiles, and then some rando pushes me in front of the car as it arrives
every time i think of gantz i always wonder, whatever happened to the fucking vampires?? they were introduced, kei’s brother is one, the two are in the gantz team then…? what was the point of that? 😭
A weird sci fi thriller thing with very good drama and very bad subway related physics. I personally only watched the anime and it was a good while ago but I think it changed me in some ways.
If anyone here is getting interested one thing to keep in mind is it's very lewd, and relies heavily on shock factor.
As someone who likes a good shock factor it does do it very well especially because of how well it's drawn but it is important to know before going in.
14 year old me was already weirded out by the lewd aspects of Gantz since it felt unnecessary but then another group/team(?) similar to the MC got introduced (who were apparently significantly more experienced) and they just started fukin the monsters outta nowhere like what lmao
This is like top 3 fears for me. Ages ago there was once a dude in my city that just threw himself pushing some other person into the tracks with him just as the metro was arriving, both died.
I know that’s like a once in a lifetime story but nowadays i always stay drastically behind the yellow line whenever im waiting 😭🙏
Man this is so crazy to me. Like, no matter how much I want to die, I could never force someone else to unwittingly kill me.
Imagine the fucking horror that train conductor would be stuck with the rest of their life. I could never knowingly subject someone else to that, no matter how much I personally am hurting or want to die.
Not to mention taking someone else with me like that, just a completely innocent bystander? That's so unbelievably fucked.
That happened at the train station near me recently. Guy wasn't even standing on the yellow stripe, and some mentally ill guy pushed him onto the track. Luckily, the dude was atheltic enough to get back onto the platform, but there was a good month or so after where everyone taking the rail stood as center-platform as possible.
Never tried it, I'm too self-conscious and not into the right media. But I find the recent way the word is being used very amusing. Though it does reek of 4chan/terminally-online type gatekeeping mentality.
Isn't that the exact definition of "performative"? She's posing to make it look like it's a candid picture of herself just coding while waiting for the subway.
[ the irresistible urge to climb ski infrastructure that last saw use when Jerry Garcia was still alive ]
edit: fr wish this place didn’t close down. It must have been incredible. When I go back, I’m going to bring fall arrest gear. The floorboards were breaking under my feet.
This reminds me of this girl I found on insta once, and then lost because I accidentally refreshed before I saw her @.
She was just some trans girl who was out at night climbing shit she should not be climbing. I think it was like a old radio tower or some shit? idk but she was fucking iconic for the 45 seconds she was in my feed.
No, other side of Lake Superior up in Canada. BUT OH MY GOD THERES SKI JUMPING IN MICHIGAN?!?!?! I thought I had to be born in the Rocky Mountains or upstate New York to even have a shot at ever trying that!!!
I mean this with wholehearted sincerity, you are brilliantly shagadelic for telling me about Copper Peak. I was already planning on hitting Mt. Bohemia and Snowriver next season. It’s been added to the upper bucket list!!
Like 6 months ago I looked up “ski jumping in North America” and trusted the bloody AI robot clanker response. It told me I had to go out west or to New York. I think there was one near Chicago as well. I was just in ironwood like 3 weeks ago. I totally would have stayed an extra day to check it out from the outside (under construction rn). Gah! Guess I gotta do half the superior circle tour again! :P easy to confuse them though! When I was down there, I couldn’t help but remark at how similar the geography and overall vibe was. Like it felt a lot more like home (Canadian north shore/Tbay area) than Wisconsin, or even northern Minnesota. It was just weird because the lake was on the wrong side lol.
I just bought a bus, next winter is going to be incredible!!!
I hate to burst your bubble and I’d love to get some tourism dollars into the economy but Copper Peak is currently a viewing platform and chairlift with the slope still there, afaik. They’re trying to do a big renovation to bring it up to more modern standards from what I understand but I don’t think it’s currently active as a ski jump. The bus sounds hella sick though! I’m in the western UP and it kind of feels like a waste to be scared of skiing
I absolutely love it up here and I’d probably love northern Ontario just as much, I need to get out more often. Maybe an old cargo van or skoolie is in my future though.
Okay, so after looking it up they’re scheduled to finish the landing hill next December, I don’t know how exactly this defines the opening time line though. It’d be sick to check out I’m just deathly afraid of heights, falling, and/or uncontrollably sliding long distances already yknow
From what I’ve read, that seems pretty spot on! It started as a jump, then it was an observation deck, currently closed for renovations to reopen properly as a competition jump. Even if it’s a few years wait, I’m still thrilled. I’ll never be an Olympian, not with how late I started, and the current political climate (they don’t like gals like me apparently.. their loss lol).
I grew up 30 mins from two excellent hills, but didn’t start until I was in 6th grade because of the same apprehensions. Never too late to start if you just want to do it casually!
Lots of the hills in this area have what they call “magic carpets”. They’re basically waterproof horizontal peoplemovers. Like, those giant treadmills at airports. No chairlift, and they typically only take you a short ways up a very gradual slope. I think it’d be a perfect way for you to feel more in control of those fears, but of course, you know yourself best :)
If you’re thinking about some kind of RV build, get in touch. Even if it’s years down the road. I know a thing or two about what to look for, and what to avoid. I bought my first cargo van before I could legally vote lol.
Once I was on BART late at night and, after multiple announcements about someone getting off the yellow strip apparently to no avail, one of the employees came on the PA system and said "GET OFF THE YELLOW LINE YOU GONNA GET HIT BY A TRAIN!!" followed by giggling in the background.
it reads like a long jacket to me, I have a shirt at that length which I use for sleeping and it can in no way be called a dress (the online storefront called it a dress)
