Sporting events can often run until 10pm or later - If I use the trains, I usually am heading to Oakville. If I am lucky, there may be three trains within 90 minutes of the game ending (all hideously crowded), and are often full of drunken ass-hats you know are driving when they get off… But Richmond Hill? Vaughan? Hamilton? Further afield? Your train-line usually stops after the commuter rush, which explains why the highways are so awful

And as for TTC stopping at 0100, Bah - Most pubs and clubs are open later than that. While I don’t personally frequent them myself, I am reminded of growing up in the UK when you could generally still catch a bus or train after 0300 because many services ran all night. It also would also massively help those who work late shifts.

Toronto may have more subway stops than many American cities, but from a “serve the needs of the people” perspective, its transport system alone makes it a complete shit-hole to live in.

Love and welcome the clarifications - Couldn’t agree more

There’s definitely a difference between the people proposing such things (a minority) and their followers:

The minority definitely seem get caught with their pants down more often, usually with a rent-boy and a bag of meth. Totally get that maybe this is about “forbidden fruit”

But the rest? Definitely due lack of education and religion (which usually follows the former).

Now, for the most part, the poor southerners I’ve met really don’t care about homosexuality when you talk to them alone. In bigger groups, it’s definitely a problem. How you fix this, I definitely don’t know, but it is definitely not by victimizing.

Unfortunately, the minority have created other “cognitive barriers” to prevent the poor from realizing what their actual challenges are - Immigrants is another good example.

In short, this is just another form of class warfare.

Maybe if they actually added some service at the appropriate times it would help? Especially when the concert ends.

And for sports events, IME a lot of the people coming in are from the suburbs. Firstly, a lot of the trains stop before the event is even over. Secondly, when there are still trains they’re incredibly infrequent and massively over-crowded.

Changing prices isn’t going to fix this. It’s a capacity problem spread over multiple regions and transport authorities

but why is the American flag over an Australian? I mean, it’s not like we Brits didn’t fuck them over too, but some accuracy would be nice

Don’t forget the press release they can also make saying how nice they are for donating, too…

Just fucking no.

Please, please, please, let everyone using it have the area code 666…

Religion just makes all of that abuse easier by telling the victim they are “a sinner” before if even happens

To be fair, the word Christian in this sentence is not the one doing the heavy lifting.

Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a poor, powerful Christian

The Icelandic series Trapped is fantastic, and the “sequel” Entrapped is also excellent.

Les Revenant (French I think) was spooky

If you can I find them, Deutschland 83, 86 and 89 and also stellar and remain on of my favorite shows in any language. Dark is not far behind either

Given that they’re not judged until after they die, aren’t they in this state anyway?
