I’m not a “train guy” but the engineering is absolutely fascinating to see.
- Comment on Are old people usually attracted to other old people? 2 weeks ago:
As others have alluded to, your question requires a distinction: are you talking about wanting to date or wanting to fuck?
Romantic attraction is based on the full package. Yes, their appearance matters, but so does their personality, their hobbies and interests, their emotional maturity, their ability to hold a conversation, their experiences and worldview, etc.
Sexiness is just about physical appearance. How their body looks, facial structure, the way they do their hair, their posture and confidence, their clothes, etc.
I’m a dude, just north of 40. I think peak physical attraction is a woman who’s 18-25, brunette, slim and toned, small to medium breasts, I’m not much of an ass man, etc.
But, I’m a middle aged dude. Would I want to date most women that age? Hellllllll no. My gf is 5 years younger than me and even that small of a gap has shown some differences in things like pop culture references and lived experiences. I can’t imagine easily connecting with someone that young.

- Comment on Disney Scales Back 'Snow White' Premiere Amid Zegler, Gadot Controversies 3 weeks ago:
On the one hand, I agree with Dinklage - typecasting little people sucks. They are legitimate actors that deserve to have roles that aren’t just about their appearance.
On the other hand - Dinklage has made it big. He has paid his dues and sacrificed and now doesn’t have to worry whether he can pay next month’s rent, but most little people actors (or even actors in general) don’t have that luxury. By bullying Disney to change the cast, he cost 7 other actors a job that, considering it’s Disney, might have been a big break.
- Comment on Receipt checkers trigger me 3 weeks ago:
As everyone has said, they have no legal basis to stop you from walking out, unless they’re asserting shopkeeper’s privilege, which has certain limits and opens them up to possible liability. This is why employees are trained that only managers and Loss Prevention can do that.
However, they absolutely are able to ban you from a store for not complying. How effective a ban is at a store that sees thousands of people walking in every day, I’m not sure. But it’s something to keep in mind if you have limited other options nearby.

- Comment on C.D.C. Will Investigate Debunked Link Between Vaccines and Autism 3 weeks ago:
A distant family member wasn’t vaccinated (can’t remember why his parents chose not to). But when he was around 20, he got tested and was diagnosed with autism. I remember him posting about it in his socials and was like, “well, I’m gonna go get vaccinated now!”

That’s how it’s supposed to work, but it’s predicated on the incoming administration doing certain things, like signing ethics documents. Trump’s team is refusing to do this.
- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 4 months ago:
In a previous house I rented, the HOA ladies would drive around the neighborhood roughly 3 times a week. There were less than 200 homes in the whole subdivision. Even if you walked slowly, it would only take an hour to walk the whole thing, but instead they drove.

Completely agree on people not understanding statistics. See: most of the polls showing a slight edge to Harris, but with a 3 to 4 point margin of error, being taken to mean that Harris had it in the bag.

- Comment on ‘Hysteria’ Star Bruce Campbell Calls Out Tom Cruise For Doing His Own Stunts: “It’s OK For Stunt Guys To Make Money, Too” | Decider 5 months ago:
I know that all the big stars hate me to say this, but I don’t want to risk 80 peoples’ jobs just to say I got big huevos on The Tonight Show, because that’s what happens. I think a big star just sprained an ankle doing a stunt, and 80 or 180 people are out of a job.
We have stunt people who do that stuff, and if they get hurt, I’m sorry to say but they just need to put a mustache on another Mexican and we can keep going. But if I get hurt, everybody’s out of a job. So I don’t choose to do that.
