The Dutch Railways-Facilitators of Evil

The involvement of the Dutch railways (Nederlandse Spoorwegen, or NS) in the Holocaust is a deeply tragic chapter in Dutch history. During World War II, the NS played a significant role in the deportation of Jews and other persecuted groups to Nazi concentration and extermination camps. Context and Occupation The Netherlands was occupied by Nazi Germany in May 1940. The occupation led to the…

The Northlander

First off and totally unrelated to anything having to do with railroads is this: Northern Lights in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware! This photo was taken in front of our house. (admittedly a while ago) Why go to the far northern reaches of Norway or Canada when one can see this spectacle from the comfort of one’s home? This photograph, with its red and green hues, was taken with an iPhone. The naked…

Need to rant about Dutch Railways / NS real quick on here because as I was on my commute in a Spring SLT 2600 train to rehearsals, the train was fully crowded! So much that I decided to sit in first class because there was no space left. The conductor came to check tickets and I was checked in with my bank card. Completely ready to explain I only sat here because of the train being fully crowded (I'm surprised the conductor could even get through to scan tickets but I bet they only checked first class), the conductor started off with a firm "English?" as if I was some confused foreigner. I then replied with "Dutch" in a clearer Dutch accent than them and this might've been a mistake because they immediately tell me they put a "registration" on my card for 30 days because "you're not allowed to sit in first class with your bank card" telling me the next time I would do such a thing, my bank card gets blocked from public transport. I didn't bother trying to explain myself to them because I could sense from their tone they would just interrupt me and start talking louder.

Respectfully, this is a load of barnacles. The entire train was STUFFED bruh, did the conductor not notice he barely could get through the crowd?

Make no mistake, I would not sit in the first class normally, but there was literally no space in the train to stand, especially as I had a backpack with me, I could feel me occupying all the space if I were to stand there between the other travelers.

Also, the first class seating on Sprinter SLT 2400-2600 models are bullshit of their own because they're literally the exact same seating but in red, the newer sprinter models don't have these anymore, the fact they take this seating on this specific train model so seriously is so strange but that's a story for another time I guess.

Regardless I'm still attaching pictures of the train model so you can judge for yourself.

Gonna write a complaint to Dutch Railways smh

Station Ede-Wageningen is officieel geopend vandaag. Op de foto nog zonder het nieuwe dak. Dit is onder andere te zien in een video over het vernieuwde treinstation.

I love how anime will have all these random episodes and specials where characters are just chilling and having fun and no dramaturgical conflict takes place. Not even talking about filler episodes, just straight up bonuses like that Steins;Gate episode where the girls are baking.

Was watching this year's Halloween special of Family Guy and felt a little bad that at Stewie's plot as it would've been nice to see it play out without the conflict knowing they'd most likely never take this character in this direction never again. (I don't want to spoil the episode but you'll probably know who I'm referring to after watching)

It was a nice lesson for Stewie although one that feels like we've seen before and will be learned again plenty of times.

I get people who make fan art of their favourite characters doing things, especially those on deviantART who have realised their free will and let their imagination go loose (sometimes a bit too loose but I try my best not to judge)

Anyways yeah I was thinking about how most (comedy) shows will never give the characters the satisfaction they need because of dramaturgical conflict ans character development which can be beautiful sometimes but it can also be beautiful that we as fans can make our own fan art, fanfiction and other forms of fanon where we can give our favourite characters the good ending :U
