It's funny that the psych response to BPD's in our hospital who threaten to kill themselves is "do it you won't" and they are right every time

I recently rode a train I had wanted to for a long time, the Kalka-Shimla narrow gauge line.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalka%E2%80%93Shimla_Railway
The railway was built under the direction of Herbert Septimus Harington between 1898 and 1903 to connect Shimla, the summer capital of India during the British Raj, with the rest of the Indian rail system.
Shimla (then spelt Simla), which was settled by the British shortly after the first Anglo-Gurkha war, is located at 7,116 feet (2,169 m) in the foothills of the Himalayas. The idea of connecting Shimla by rail was first raised by a correspondent to the Delhi gazette in November 1847.[2][3]
Shimla became the summer capital of British India in 1864, and was the headquarters of the Indian army. This meant that twice a year it was necessary to transfer the entire government between Calcutta and Shimla by horse and ox drawn carts.
In 1905 the company took delivery of a 10-ton Cowans Sheldon travelling crane to assist with lifting rolling stock back onto the tracks after accidents and for general track maintenance.
Due to the high capital and maintenance costs and difficult working conditions, the railway was allowed to charge higher fares than on other lines. Nevertheless, the company had spent 16,525,000 rupees by 1904 with no sign of the line becoming profitable, which lead to it being purchased by the government on 1 January 1906 for 17,107,748 rupees
During the 2023 North India floods, several sections of the line were washed out by landslides.
I was there during this 
Took a bus back from Shimla then.
The track has 20 picturesque stations, 103 tunnels (102 currently active), 912 curves, 969 bridges and 3% slope (1:33 gradient). The 1,143.61 m tunnel at Barog immediately before the Barog station is longest, a 60 ft (18.29 m) bridge is the longest and the sharpest curve has a 123 ft (38 m) radius of curvature. The railway line originally used 42 lb/yd (20.8 kg/m) rail, which was later replaced with 60 lb/yd (29.8 kg/m) rail.[4] The train has an average speed of 25โ30 km/h but the railcar is almost 50โ60 km/h. Both the train and railcar are equipped with vistadomes.
The route winds from a height of 656 metres (2,152 ft) at Kalka in the Himalayan Shivalik Hills foothills, past Dharampur, Solan, Kandaghat, Taradevi, Barog, Salogra, Totu (Jutogh) and Summerhill, to Shimla at an altitude of 2,075 metres (6,808 ft).[8] The difference in height between the two ends of line is 1,419 metres (4,656 ft).
They still have these manual inspection carts 
They also use legacy signalling, a chain of connected metallic rods used to shift a board with both red and green glass over a yellow light and those physical token hand overs.
Maintenance area, looks kind of like a sundial
Some visitors while our train was stopped for a while to let a train coming from the opposite end pass. Their panic after the train suddenly started moving was cute but I didn't have camera aimed at that point 
Potato quality but its only one I managed to click of the engine on a curved bridge, didn't have camera ready on any other
The bridges look so 
Steel ones are so ugly 
Can't even take a good pic through them.
Also first diesel loco I've been on in a long time. The smoke was kind of ugly to look at tbh.

I didn't realise bollywood was that influential lol. They can't read so it can't exactly be subbed, I wonder how they got popular 
Kind of funny, hindi won't work in that role in significant chunks of India. But somehow it works in Afg.

The Falcons called Kirk Cousins when they were on the clock to let him know.
— Dianna Russini (@DMRussini) April 26, 2024
From what I learned, Cousins understood a QB would be considered but he did not believe his successor would be taken in the first round. Iโm told heโs a bit stunned.
Taking an older injury prone ok-ish QB with the 8th pick after signing Captain Kirk to like a shit load of money.

I thought the exercise makes you dislike other people's problems thing was just a meme, but I am currently myself experiencing it.
Can anybody explain why the more I exercise the less I give a shit about what women have to say about anything?
Is being sexist a 'healthy human male' trait that the whole world is trying to gaslight men into believing isn't a good thing?
Discuss.

Currently one of the primary reasons everyone was okay with pushing all the women's rights stuff no matter how stupid it got at times was that the more feminist societies were at all times successfully more developed as well.
However, we are now beginning to see the deviation between the most successful nations and the most feminist nations of the world, especially on the tail end where the lower income nation states are currently able to keep improving without giving women and western civilization equivalent human rights.
For example, places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Afghanistan are all seeing good GDP growth in current year.
We can see places like China and South Korea with their disdain of feminism also have strong growth in spite of the lack of pro women policies and cultures.
It is currently only in the western world that we are seeing an almost 1:1 match for rise in income and high levels of feminism.
There too Europe as one of the more feminist parts of the world is going through periods of continual stagnation and it is only in North America where there is a strong presence of feminism while the GDP also keeps climbing.
Today, the strongest GDP growth in the world can be found in countries such as China and India, both of which are clearly not the bastions of women's rights in a vein similar to the western world.
As for highest GDP, the US remains number one, and in the case of the US, radical feminism has failed to successfully take root in the current generation, as multiple interest groups such as the gays, transwomen, and sane people hold American radical feminism back.
America is proof that the world is okay with whores as long as they don't try to marry men or have kids going to the same school.
The US judicial system has also proven to be robust enough as to not put up with women lying their way into getting someone jailed for a false accusation. The primary issue remains that of costs of going through the legal process, rather than biases in the law itself against men.
We can expect this to be the standard of feminism in the current century, where you can only lose to feminism if you are poor or are is a people facing industry where public shaming can cost you your job and well being.
It is also very likely that as LGBTQ+ and various minority interests spread around, that women's rights becomes an ever smaller part of a conglomeration of multiple human rights interests, resulting in stagnation or even steps back in women's social privileges.
One of the signs of this is the disdain held for women not being sent to war in Ukraine even though the country is fighting for its right to exist, and is willing to sacrifice all men to hold off Russia.
As men continue to get weaker through this century and do not think of women as special creatures, it is likely that there will be a strong push for women to also participate at the front line in wars of survival.
In conclusion, if there is another war in Europe like the one Ukraine is going through, it is pretty much guaranteed that women will be forced into front line roles just like the men.
The regression of feminism ideals is imminent in the second half of this century. A scenario we can already see the signs of with how J.K Rowling is reviled in liberal spaces for having the same views about women's rights as everybody did 2 decades ago instead of forever moving left with the times.
As the BMI of the average woman goes up, the halo effect around women also weakens, over time resulting in men not caring about women's issues.
In conclusion, women's rights are going to see a reversal in the decades ahead.
We can expect women's rights to fall back to levels that can be found in Eastern Europe by the end of the century.

It doesn't matter the reason. It was Freddie Gray/BLM back in 2016 and George Floyd in 2020. Now it's Pro-Palestine. The same type of agitators (far left weirdos) have started riot season once again.
Weird how it always happens during an election year.
