Except that once you trigger something as totalizing as Armageddon, there'll be nobody left to try you for said war crimes. And you may think that, as the Faithful, you'll achieve Transcendence; but that's like saying that nobody knew or cared who Elliott Rodger was before Isla Vista, and...

And if you think any of that is scary...

You'll probably ultimately be seeing Russian-style propaganda about how dying for one's country is a heroic and worthy cause.

Yeah, they're not going to flip Fulton County, However, they *could* make it difficult for voters in "Democrat precincts" to vote--that is, it went 71-27 Dem last time; shave off enough Dem votes through suppression tactics so it's more like 60-40 when it comes to "recorded votes", and that's...

Of course, I wasn't even referring specifically to visitors from the 905--it could even be visitors from abroad. It'd be a little like our own visiting a "foreign" place for a spell and hearing about or stumbling across some event or happening. To those jaded by transit lines worldwide, Line 5...

And one bit of little-commented-on ugly truth: a lot of regular TTC users (particularly Metropass-users) relate thusly to the GO network.

While it might not be sexy to the garden-variety tourist, ultimately "uniqueness"--or at least the single-loaded emphasis upon it--is overrated. Because *everyplace* is unique As I like to say: as I child, I went with my elders to the playground at High Park, and while that was certainly the...

What's so "insufferable" about the part you quoted (which by and large didn't include that deeper dig at you)? If anything, it *augments* your pro-suburban argument...

(1) Foodies headed for Plaza Latina, (2) people visiting or staying w/friends and relatives and whatnot along Line 6. And both cases are "atypical". I consider Line 6 to be still a "work in progress"; but I also consider those who are really taken to grumbling about too many stops and...

Of course, the other outlier thing nobody's mentioned re Mainstreet (and likewise reflecting a longer pattern re that polling agency): the NDP way back at 4% and a point behind the Bloc, while the other polls have them floating back into the 9-13% range.

Of course, it was the "Harbourfront LRT" for a reason: when it opened in 1990, it only went as far as the Spadina/QQ loop, it didn't go up Spadina yet (that came later in the decade). However, it was the first "new" streetcar line in decades; and the first other than the Queensway stretch to...

Yes, but that's if you view that stretch of the Crosstown in "subway" rather than "streetcar" terms. Whether one likes it or not, it operates as a de facto surface streetcar through that stretch--that is, it'd be like removing Vaughan or Wychwood or Arlington from the St Clair line, or Sullivan...

Quite a few pages back, I recall some questioning of the worth of Hakimi Lebovic--but it's something that one only grasps when one comprehends how it's in the middle of a significant big-box retail node. But it got me reflecting on other (quotes intentional) "useless" stations on the other...

I figured my first "Metropass hack" this morning: instead of taking the northbound Weston Rd bus straight into Mt Dennis station, I scampered out of the bus at Weston & Eglinton and across the street into the W station entrance. Still a pretty long walk; but probably (at least at my brisk pace)...

It already has a President's name ;-) https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Woodrow
