Es läuft alles so glatt bei meiner DB Fahrt heute, selten so entspannt gereist... wie habe ich mich zu verhalten?
Für das Szenario haben wir ein Emergency Response Team, welches in Kürze die Oberleitung kappen wird um ihre gewohnte Verspätung zu gewährleisten. Wir danken für die Auskunft.
Was running a little late this morning but made it to the train station just in time. It's 7:00, train arrives at 7:01, I'm at the right track, all is good. Or so I thought.
At 7:01 there's an announcement the the 7:01 train is cancelled. Flippin' great. If I'd known earlier I could've slept longer, or gotten a coffee. Whatever, 7:31 train it is.
7:30, an announcement. "Information about train abc, to Xyz main station, leaving at 7:31, today 10 minutes later". Cool. Typical.
7:40, another announcement. "...today 15 minutes later". Okay sure, why not, might as well go for it.
7:45, yet another announcement starts. "...today 20 minutes later".
I applaud you, DB. Bravo.
Goodness me, they didn't delay it for another 5 minutes???

Once again I am here to complain about German trains.
My train at 7:00 got cancelled. "I'll just take the one at 7:30 then..." That one's delayed, might as well take the one at 8:00. Big mistake.
First of all it ended up being delayed too. Then we made it three stations further and have been just standing here for ×checks time× 25 minutes. According to the schedule this train was supposed to arrive where I need to go 15 minutes ago. We're not even halfway there.
Announcement: "There are still five trains blocking our path, it seems like there is some trouble in City A. When the path's clear at some point we'll head directly to A central station without further stops."
Well that is my stop but everyone else I guess.
Announcement: "Update, we will not stop in City A."
Imma cry

tumblr users will reblog anything. have half a peanut
oh? are we moving? five minutes after we were supposed to? thirteen minutes after schedule? absolutely decimating my four minutes of transfer time at the next stop? adding three (3) hours to my journey? for zero (0) reason?
oh you think so???? really???? what incredible insight you dumb ugly bitch
NEXT TRAIN IS DELAYED TOO. EVERYONE PRAY FOR ME
I'm on the fucking train
I don't even bother getting stressed when I'm late for a train anymore. The train's gonna be even later anyway
This morning I got to the train station at 7:25 for the 7:30 train, punctual like the German I am. For once, the train even arrives on time. I get on it, sit down, wait.
7:40... We're still at the same station. An announcement says something about freight trains having to pass by before we can set off. Okay, whatever.
8:15... We made it... Two stations further. Normally this takes six minutes, not forty-five. I'm late to school now. Great.
8:45... A whole 45 minutes late, I arrive. Great job, Deutsche Bahn. Great job.
Love it when Rolling Stone puts out an article about the 25 most influential internet creators and I've only heard of 7 of them
Well I've only heard of two so you're doing better than I am!
I'm curious now since tumblr.com is home to such a specific audience and the list seems to be full of TikTokers and Instagramers. Is Instagramers the word?
Out of Rolling Stone's 25 Most Influential Creators of 2024,
how many names do you recognise?
0
1-5
6-10
11-15

20-24
All 25
reblog for a bigger sample size and also please tell me who, if any, you recognise?
So I'm once again at the train station. The 7:01 train didn't show up. I missed the 6:01 train that was supposed to arrive at 6:56 today. If I wait a few minutes longer I might catch the 6:31 train though, that's supposed to arrive at 7:11.
In case anyone wants to know what taking the train is like in Germany:
The train was supposed to set off at 15:33. It is 16:05. We're still at the same station. The lights are off. Not a single person seems surprised.
bingo!
heres the blank table if you wanna try:
Not too bad, right?
A fantasy novel/anime/manga/whatever with a hero leading a conquest against a ruler of a nation of an "evil race" but upon arriving they just find a young man who's absolutely overwhelmed with bureaucracy and being a ruler in general and has neither time nor energy to deal with those annoying advanturers.
I need that.
Actually your society is the freaks for shooting everything that moves and burning half your "nature reserves" every year so that upperclass dandies can eat leaded pheasant. North Americans are the well adjusted ones here, your country has become a desolate suburban lawn in island form
my opinion as an american is that we spend way too much time trying to save african megafauna and nowhere near enough time making fun of the english for turning an entire island--which was once a hazelnut food forest--into a goddamn lawn.
bill bryson once actually wrote down in a whole book and got published that the english were superb gardeners and i about threw the book out the window i was that outraged. the english!!! the fucking ENGLISH. them? that's who you want to laud? the english
the
THERE ARE A GRAND FUCKING TOTAL OF ZERO STAPLE CROPS ORIGINALLY OR EVEN PRIMARILY CULTIVATED BY THE ENGLISH. NONE OF THEM. NOT POTATOES NOT WHEAT NOT TURNIPS NOT RYE. THEY GNAWED THEIR ISLAND DOWN TO A NUB FOR NOTHING. THE WOLVES AND BEARS ALL GONE FOR NOTHING. THE WILDCATS AND BIRDS AND MUSTELIDS AND INSECTS, GONE IN THEIR THOUSANDS, FOR NOTHING. FOR SOME SHEEP. FOR
THEIR MAIN AGRICULTURAL EXPORT IS FAMINE
anyway the english approach to agriculture, biodiversity, and environmentalism is roughly on par with a dog's approach to someone else's homework and everywhere in the world that has inherited their cack-fisted disdain for nature has suffered immensely. i can't overstate enough how bad things have been and still are.
please make fun of them. it's the least they fucking deserve.
as far as i am aware, no.
maybe it’s just the areas i live in/frequently visit (North England for context) but all wildlife is a scarcity here. Obviously we do have some but you don’t see them frequently. Off the top of my head we have rabbits, harvest mice, badgers, grey and red squirrels, voles, multiple types of deer, and foxes, as well as a few different types of birds. of all of those the most common are grey squirrels which are actually an invasive species. Even when i visit more rural areas its still very rare to see any wildlife at all other than a few birds. neither predator nor prey have any home in england and its becoming increasingly rare to find any at all. deer and red squirrels mostly live in sanctuaries as theyre endangered species here in the uk. I never really hear about an overpopulation of any wildlife in england.
But! its not all doom and gloom. one thing i haven’t seen anyone else mention is that people are trying to reintroduce wildlife and help it grow.
specifically i think of the red kite
at one point they were severely endangered in the uk, with only a handful of breeding pairs confined to wales. in the 80s there was an initiative to reintroduce red kites to the uk which was immensely successful, i frequently see them in all parts of england and there are now so many breeding pairs that the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) can no longer annually survey them. there’s a feeding station in laurieston, scotland where you can regularly see a hundred or more kites show up at feeding time and honestly the video doesn’t do it justice.
so yeah the uk’s wildlife situation is not the best but what the above posts don’t mention is that there are people doing their best to reintroduce wildlife to the uk and succeeding.
It's very interesting reading this, especially because there is a species (the wolf) reintroducing itself to where I live (Germany, Hesse specifically). But unlike how it seems to be in the UK, where they actively try to reintroduce animals, here you hear all about the "problem" wolf. Farmers complain that the wolves attack their sheep (I mean, ok, that really sucks), hunters say wolves should get a shooting season and a resting season (it's illegal to kill wolves in Germany because they are endangered).
But everyone who gets their opinion on the news overlooks one important detail:
The wolf is supposed to regulate the population of the deer, which the humans now have to do, since humans hunted the wolf near extinction in the middle ages (really great job, Germans from 500 years ago). Now, if humans would stop shooting the deer, the wolves would do that job and likely stop killing livestock, or at the very least do it on a less regular basis.
So, on a post about DMing for DnD I saw someone say that it is best to practice DMing with a short, pre-written campaign with pregenerated characters etc.
But my stupid brain turned "pregenerated" into "pregnated", which left me rather confused for a minute.
When I told this to my friend his only comment was "9 month campaign"...
