  • “Why should I, a man who religiously drives and has no children or grandchildren, pay for these things?”

    Because it benefits you and society at large in other ways. It is in society’s best interests that people are educated so they can do much more in society than they would’ve otherwise. It is in society’s best interests to have robust, comprehensive public transport, because that way the roads won’t be clogged up, stopping you from driving. It benefits you that the nurses at your care home can read what meds they’re giving you and can do maths. It benefits you if people can get to their destinations without driving otherwise you would not be able to park at your destination. Your meals on wheels not getting stuck in traffic? The ambulance being able to get to you and get you to the hospital on time? The people around you being able to have the skills to operate in not just the work place and the world? All of that benefits you.

    Thinking like this is how we ended up in the shit we’re in worldwide.


  • For anyone outside the UK, the bridge in the picture is carrying the West Coast Mainline (WCML).

    The UK basically has two major routes between Edinburgh and Glasgow (where most people live in Scotland) and London, the East Coast Mainline and the West Coast Mainline. They also connect several major cities and regions.

    The person who posted this basically claimed that a bridge on one of the UK’s busiest intercity rail routes had started to collapse, which is not something you say lightly. It’s like saying all of New York’s airports had shut down because of three co-incidental sinkholes.


  • So fun fact, cats tend to want to come with you to the toilet because cats are vulnerable when they go for a dump, and if they’re friends with other cats they keep watch for them for any threats.

    When a cat goes to the toilet with you, it’s because they like you and want to protect you.
