Ah, I'm reminded of one of my real big wonks. Unresearched mocking.

I can think of two examples off the top of my head:

1. Train Simulator's DLC. Yes, it has over $2000 of DLC. This is a game for train enthusiasts. Each one of those DLC are massively detailed to the standards of one who is particularly enthused about that particular train or route. You're not expected to buy all of it; you're not expected to buy any of it. None of it is required to enjoy the game; indeed, it's a rare case of DLC whose purchase decision is entirely based around opinion, as opposed to many simple content packs; do you want this train y/n? Cause there are plenty of other ones.

2. Final Fantasy X's laughing scene. Watch the whole thing, god damn. They laugh stupidly. Then they look at each other and laugh for real because they were fake laughing before. Then all the other characters said they'd thought that the two had gone insane. It's not shitty voice acting, it's called story-telling, and you're taking it out of context.

Train enthusiasts always baffled me. There are weirder hobbies, but not a ton.

I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

Internet/cable/phone connection is degrading daily. Won't be long before it's completely useless. Cable company claims to not have enough evidence to go under the street and actually fix the problem (everything in the yard and house has been replaced already). This could just as easily go in the sad thread.

How can anyone not love trains? A train is a journey into the unknown, smelling of iron, snow, and diesel fuel. Great trains cross Siberia from the Urals to the Sea of Japan, carrying weathered people past sights both picturesque and desolate. A train is not merely a machine, it is also the residue of all its travels, the smoke of the kilometers it has burned in the measured rhythm of its wheels.
One cannot love the Motherland, and not love those weary wanderers on the greatest of her roads.

I really like being in trainstations. Hot metal and burning fuel is the best smell.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Obviously it is almost Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. When it is close to Winter it can get quite cold. Therefore, there will be snow and ice in colder regions. This is a fact.

So tell me, why am I the one blamed when our driveway freezes over? Am I a wizard? Do I perform cryomancy in my sleep?

No? Then please stop screaming at me as if I planned this to happen.

E: It's cold enough to be Winter. It's only going to get colder from here.

Not winter only if you live in the southern hemisphere, I would assume.

I may have been freezing my ass off waiting at my bus stop for the past few weeks, but it technically won't be Winter for another two weeks (rounded up).
