The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.
The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China’s north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

My sister decided to tell her therapist about me, saying I looked happier after I transitioned. She told me that it’s probably the happiest she’s even seen me, and I’m pretty glad that others can see how I’m feeling. Still have stuff going on, but it says a lot about just how bad I was pre-transition.
Also, her therapist told her that I need to get therapy and find other trans people IRL (friendships or support groups). Trust me, I know, her therapist really read my mind from idk how many miles away
T levels are still looking so low i think i’m just going to quit taking spiro, even after lowering by E dose by 25%
They brought killing chickens back to Survivor in season 47 and the redditors are celebrating 🤮
I want something sweet, but I don’t want to go to the store to get it.
What is everyone’s most used/favorite emoji?
my most used emoji, down with cis
New love is blind is deeply cursed, they’re all cursed to various degrees but this one seems especially bad. They’ve already had seasons with abusers or staff/producers not feeding or allowing the cast to drink, that kind of thing. But something seems very wrong at that kind of level on the underbelly of this season and it’s very readily apparent
They could easily wrap up “the experiment” aspect of the show. The show has conclusively proven, love is not blind (for the instagram-clout-chasing reality-tv-acting set they scout for the show). They don’t cast too many average people and the average people that make it don’t get through to the reveals, and the few times that has happened their prospective partner has said “nope I’m breaking it off, sorry I know I proposed but now that I’ve seen ya I’m not into it.” I think it’s okay if it’s just a trashy reality tv dating show, there’s nothing wrong with just being who you are in the muck of the world. They don’t need to pretend this is anything but that
I never understood why there’s a cabbage on the cover to hear nothing see nothing say nothing
thoughts on a c/disabled comm?
for the record i would not be able to mod it because of lack of energy. but i find bearsite to be somewhat lacking in conversations about disability.
I've been thinking recently about the Wheel of Time, about how I'd make a video game adaption, that is woke and offends the gamers, while tackling the problematic gender stuff in that setting... (CW possible WoT spoilers and transphobia)
I think that the wheel of time would make a good action RPG in the manner of bio ware mass effect/dragon age games. Where you create a man character and collect companions to your party. I think the magic system of having fire-water-earth-wind-spirit that you could cast in different combos to create attacks/effects etc would be cool.
I would set the game about 40 years before the main series. In Malkier the Kingdom in the borderlands that gets overran by the blight and Darkspawn. That gives a confined map area to work with and a dramatic event for the game to finish on. It’s recent enough that there would be some easter egg characters to the main series. Young Jaim Farstrider could be a companion. You could help protect Baby Lan in his escape. Long lived Aes Sedei like Verin or Cadsuane could be floating about.
Your character would be an Aes Sedei. That means a cis woman (or trans man more later). That’s going to really upset the Chuds, but I think that’s the only way to work with the setting of having a magical user who also has the authority to go around doing missions and being present for historic events. You’d have a tutorial prologue in the White Tower wear you pass tests and choose your Ajah. The Ajah would give some different dialogue, stats bonuses and affect endings. It might affect romancing and bonding warders, though I think it would be also still good to be able to do whatever you want, just it would be in contradiction to your Ajah and therefore somewhat of a renegade. There’d also be a nationality you could pick but it just adds some dialogue and unlocks some hairstyles and jewellery.
Your companions would be either fighters to protect you (who if you get their affinity up you can bond as warders), or other One Power users to link with to enhance your powers. Most of those would be Aes Sedei (with maybe a surprise Black Ajah betrayal mixed in there), but I think a trans masc Saidar user who is a wilder (a self taught one power user) would be also a really cool companion who can also unlock your character realising they’re trans if you want.
Then another main companion would be a trans woman who has used Saidin to transition themselves, channelling the opposite power they can give you an enormous power boost, but the taint on saidin means they are slowly dying and going mad. This character gets to basically look down the camera and call out the series for having “male” and “female” powers. Like “fuck you I’m a woman who channels Saidin deal with it”. This character might have some sad endings, but if you work with them you unlock a bittersweet ending where your character “Stills” them with their consent (import to use the feminine term, not the masculine “gentle”) and bonds them as a warder so they survive the shock and subsequent depression. They live but also loser their magic (the only outcome that isn’t derailing the book events).

I was just talking with one of my besties about queer liberation,
and was expressing with him my gratitude for the queer folks around me when my egg cracked as well as this site for helping into the loud proud liberatory transsexual that I am continually becoming.Idk what the point of this post was, but just want to say I love queer people so much. Ya’ll give me hope in a really fucked up world.
Uh sorry chat I’m havin some kind of a day, too many endorphins from exercising, posting too hard
I was looking in the mirror (accidentally as one does coming down a hallway) and uh ooh boy I have like the beginnings of the classic hour glass thingy. Where the sides of my waist pinch in like ) . (
When the hell did that happen 😳
LOOK OUT MOTHERFUCKERS, AUTISM TIME-Let’s horribly overanalyse “Let’s horribly break Pokemon Blue”
I love TheZZAZZGlitch, because glitching the gameboy Pokemon games goes hard as hell. I picked up this special interest years and years ago when Metroixer posted the Let’s Horribly Break Pokemon Blue text let’s-play. At the time this was the only thing I knew about this incredible game-breaking special interest, and when I found TheZZAZZGlitch it felt like a gift, even I know more than Metroixer did back in the day. (VBA lol)
So to see ZZAZZ commentate the original Metroixer let’s-play, uh it’s like poetry, they rhyme
Cis people are so weird. One of my housemates said that she is getting rid of her black jeans because they’re out of fashion, even though she still likes some of them. She doesn’t want to be seen wearing clothes that aren’t trendy.
What a boring way to approach self-expression. You just want to look like everyone else? You just want to go with what’s popular instead of what you personally like?
Trans/gnc people are sooo much better at fashion
