if u ever wonder how europeans can rely on trains so much to travel thru entire countries
this is why
(312km/h is about 194mph)
? Yea is this not the same everywhere??
doesnt seem to be
Also, most areas in America don’t even HAVE passenger rail anymore
The automotive industry purposely tried to kill off trains here in America
Public transit in general if we’re being honest.
As an europeean, what the fuck america?
if you ever see something weird about america chances are it’s because some powerful industry decided to kill something that would have worked towards the public good for profit
You know what? It really fucking bothers me that tumblr turned “instrusive thoughts” into “eat that leaf hehe” when in reality, the term was created to explain the violent and seriously disturbing, unwanted thoughts that mentally ill specifically compulsive, people get against their will. Not only did tumblr take the term, but intentionally said “intrusive thoughts are rarely violent”. A straight up lie.
So i’m here to tell you. Intrusive thoughts are violent, disturbing thoughts that you do not want to be thinking. The actual definition of “intrusive thoughts” is:
unwanted thoughts or images that you find distressing and/or disturbing.
You know what’s not distressing or disturbing? Eating leaves. Touching things. Whatever tumblr tries to sell as “intrusive thoughts”. You know what my intrusive thoughts look like? Big fat heavy content warning: “you know if you jump off the stairs you’ll be heavy enough to just crush your dogs skull and kill her you could do that did you know that you should do that why don’t you just kill your dog”. Violent. Distressing. Disturbing.
The term was created to tell people with compulsory disorders that those thoughts are not you and that having those thoughts doesn’t make you a bad person. It drives me wild that tumblr took something to make mentally ill people feel better about themselves and said “actually violent thoughts aren’t intrusive, it’s things like “eat that leaf.”
“Eat that leaf” is more along the lines of ADHD because it drags you away from the present function you’re supposed to be doing. I have ADHD and this shit happens all the time.
Oh yeah, I definitely have impulsive thoughts. Thoughts that are just batshit wonky. But those aren’t intrusive. They’re certainly derailing and distracting. But not intrusive.
Yep that’s the word I was looking for. Impulsive. Thank goodness for friends. And people like to conflate intrusive and impulsive because, the only similarity is that these thoughts are tell you to do something. One is violent and distressing and the other is annoying and at times habitual.
