#Are there replacement buses

[lemonandtheart]

I refuse to draw the rest of the interior of this bus but here's more of my TMNT Iteration

[sixaustralia]

okokok quick &j thought dump before I sleep

I got to see Murrse, Maycob & Jorcois & they were all AMAZING I love them sm

the people next to me must’ve thought I was insane when I literally squealed at the ensemble members coming onstage pre-show

I saw Lorinda!Juliet for the first time and omg. I’m obsessed, she is INCREDIBLE!!!

I’ve had Domino stuck in my head for the past week so it was nice hearing it live

I forgor about Lance’s fuckass penis cover thing 😭😭

tbh everything about Lance was hilarious I love him sm

Maycois!!!! I forgot how heartbreaking their storyline is. May thinks they’re unlovable & then Frankie loves them for who they are but is engaged to their BEST FRIEND!!! Like WHAT?!

THE MOULIN ROUGE BIT idk how many people picked up on it but I’m too obsessed with that show to NOT get the Roxanne reference 🙏

I sincerely apologise to the people sitting next to me, I was practically vibrating out of my seat as we approached It’s My Life

I cheered so loudly for Blomeo bc I’m obsessed w them (save me Blake Appelqvist. Blake Appelqvist save me.)

One More Try is so fucking beautiful, jumeo u are everything

Romeo’s fuckass French accent 😭😭 “‘Ello brozzerrrr”

Just Romeo in general. I love him. He’s so fucking pathetic. He has nothing going for him except a hot wife. And for most of the show he doesn’t even have that 😭

After Anne said “marriage doesn’t always mean a happy ending” someone in the audience said “ouch!”

During “fuckin perfect” some people in the audience silently cheered/vibed when she sang “fuckin” idk why, but good for them tbh

in conclusion I love this show so much & im so glad I saw it again

[theflyestwhiteboyofthemall]

so hard being bus pilled in a country that absolutely does not have a functional bus system actually. the country has no functional systems fuck the country isn't even functional grrrrrrr

[space-writes]

today the storm said you can have half a train and suffer the indignity of a replacement bus service for the rest, so I will get to write at work now!

[technicontrastron]

The ceiling is falling on my head i've been stuck at home for too long now. But i can't just go out tomorrow because technically there's a work function on wednesday i need to be up early for (yes during my time off). Except nobody checked with me on how we're getting there. Those wankers probably planned something in the smoking break and didn't bother telling me.

filled with the unfathomable rage of a million suns that one can only gain by travelling with Deutsche Bahn

fuck buses

[lainahastoomuchsparetime]

That doesn't really address the "lug heavy bags home" problem.

I live 600 metres away from my grocery store. Is that a bus stop? I don't live in a city, but that's about a bus stop, probably, right?

If I need to buy water (because I refuse to drink our tap water, small town, rural area, don't drink yellow water) or potatoes or laundry soap or anything heavy, really, I pay someone to drive me from the grocery store to my house. I can't carry any of that 600 metres. I don't even carry it from the grocery store. I put it in the cart and push it out and generally have a person helping with that.

Are they gonna let me take a cart to the bus stop? Who's taking it back? Do I have to buy my own? I can't lift it on and off of the bus myself if it's heavy which would be the point - does that mean the bus driver has to? What if they're disabled? Do we not allow bus drivers with bad backs now?

Like I would love to have public transport (again, small town, rural area, we don't really have that). I would THRIVE in a city, honestly. And I'm not on the same track as OP but like.

Some of you really don't think about disabled people much.

Also like, we have a place that's like 15km away. It has about 700 people living there. There's like 3 businesses. That's not enough to have jobs for 700 people. Not of them drive. You know what some of them do? Walk. Do you know how long a 15km walk takes? About 3 hours, generally. On a highway. There's nothing between us but highway and fields from farms.

3 hours. One way. Even when it's -40C.

What bus is gonna work for that? Are they gonna drive one person every hour because not everyone work at the same time? That's just a big, inefficient car at that point.

What's the public transport solution for that?

The anti-car culture on this website is so fucking annoying. Like, sorry I want to be able to get around without having to spend two hours taking three buses. Sorry I want to be able to go grocery shopping in the winter without having to lug heavy bags home through the snow on a fucking bike

[realphan]

FUCK national express fr, literally the shittiest travel experience

[albonium]

yeah sure take a plane for less than 2000 km i'm sure that will be easier on old people than just switching trains or bus at a station 💀

only in TFA? and some of the movies I think? most of the time they run on Energon, which changes forms in different continuities and media.

Most of the other tf fans in the notes are just saying 'no they run on energon, duh', but I think that only answers one of the questions here. Would Captain Planet think they're friends just because the fuel they use isn't a fossil fuel from earth? Sometimes energon is just a magical/scifi physical manifestation of electrical power and can be harvested from renewable resources(like g1 where they got it from dams and power plants and such). Other times it is a finite resource of magical crystals or glowing liquid that needs to be mined (series in the Aligned continuity and a lot of assorted media use energon as a source of the Autobot/Decepticon war in the first place, it's finite and Cybertron is DYING from energon harvesting). Also there might be some continuities where energon itself is a renewable resource or has sustainable alternatives? (synth en in TFP and some post-war comics touch on this, as well as Earthspark's Terrans running from a new fuel that seems to be generated by Earth through magic.)

Energon is usually shown to be clean-burning or at least have less exhaust than is typical of gasoline irl (That is probably mainly due to animation simplification, but optimus will usually have one or two moments spitting smoke from his exhaust pipes per series, as if he runs diesel like a real semi truck.) Energon seems to usually work as a combustible fuel (it explodes), but then again its not really clear how much of transformer physiology is electronic and how much is mechanical, but I don't think any series have stated transformers have a separate battery like cars do so I think it all is supposed to be powered by energon? Sure a transformer can scan and change vehicle mode to an electric model, but they would still be taking in energon and utilizing that resource the same as someone with a diesel or even coal-burning alt mode! (I dont know all that much about cars and i dont know every tf series feel free to correct me.)

Captain Planet would probably have a different opinion series to series, but for the most part he would have to contend with the fact that the Transformers are sentient alien lifeforms without the ability to change fuel source; their carbon emissions are a necessity of life like animal methane production. So unless energon in that context is clean and sustainable/has clean and sustainable alternatives, they could very well be enemies that Captain Planet feels the need to destroy.
