- Comment on Should you look for a relationship if it feels like a compromise? 4 weeks ago:
A relationship should never be used as a means to have sex. That will only hurt people. And a relationship is so, so much more than just sex.
Honestly, to me it sounds like you don't really want a (romantic) relationship in the first place. And that's completely fine. Don't try to force something on yourself that you don't want. That will only hurt your partner and disappoint you. It's completely fine to just want friends with benefits or one night stands (or both, as long as you're careful). You do you.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 4 weeks ago:
When people have created a narrative that "white x y z men" are responsible for all the evil in the world (I'm exagerating, but you get my drift), it creates a very difficult situation when those people are facing some serious difficulties. The intellectually lazy thing to do in that case is to brush it off or minimize it, like in the ways you've described. And unfortunately, that's the route those same people will take, since identity politics are intellectually lazy (and lacking compassion, but that's another story).
The unfortunate part of it is that the right has taken advantage of that wide open flank, which is one main reasons we're in this current clusterfuck.

In case anyone was thinking the same thing I was: no, it wasn't a parasite, it was named that way due to its shape.

As @myotheraccount mentioned, this is 330km/h, but yes, they still need drivers. On the high speed lines, the train can do quite a bit on its own, but you still need a driver to take care of the stops at stations, for non-high speed sections which generally don't have the automation infrastructure, and for the case the something doesn't work or go as intended.
There's not much of a need to "keep an eye on the machines", they're pretty sturdy, made to go at that speed and have gone through a number of tests to ensure everything works the way it should. Unless we're doing a test run, but that's another story.

Reminds me of an ad from over a decade ago. (For those who speak German: youtube, sorry, I want able to get an invidious Link working )
A woman is sitting at a bar, and a man in a suit comes up and sits right next to her, taps his car keys on the table, and then lays them on the table and moves them towards her.
"400 horsepower, 12 cylinders, top speed 296..." He nods proudly. "Tomorrow evening 7 o'clock?"
She grabs a large key on her keychain and shows it to him: "10,877 horsepower, top speed 330, tomorrow morning, 8:43..." She puts the key on the table and pushes it next to his key. "...track 7".
The ad was from the German railroad attempting to recruit drivers.

It's an announcement to stay as far away as possible from whoever said that. Might even call it negging.
