Patrick Sean Tomlinson / @stealthygeek / "Torque Wheeler" / @RealAutomanic / Kempesh / Padawan v2.5 - "Conservative" sci-fi author with TDS, armed "drunk with anger management issues" and terminated parental rights, actual tough guy, obese, paid Quasi, paid thousands to be repeatedly unbanned from Twitter

God I love this. Pat is only happy when he’s angry.
To be fair, he's also happy when a tweet goes "viral".

How utterly sad that is when you think about it. I bet when he found out he was grinning from ear to ear looking, as was once said about the great John Madden, like a slit watermelon.
 
Pat's rail tweet took off because American liberals eat this shit up so naturally he uses it to plug his book:

21,500 likes versus 18. Going well, Pat.

When will twitter learn that dopamine boost from people pressing the heart button does not translate to interest in you/your work?
You can tell he never actually went on the Eurostar train. Yes, you actually do have airport-like security theater there including passport controls because you're going from France to England. Furthermore, no issues with delays, cancelations, rising costs? Is this fat fuck serious? Trains are so damn expensive here that they're most often enough the most expensive travel option because you would need to book half a year in advance to get train tickets to those low prices he's talking about.
If you don't have a direct connection and need to switch trains, have fun because you better have an hour of time between trains because your train will most likely have a delay and you might miss your connection. That adds quite a bit of time to your schedule.
Seriously.
Here's this Trek Trendy guy going from London to Istanbul via train, which takes 80 hours, and immediately his second train on his plan was delayed so much his entire trip would have fallen apart. Quite an interesting trip, btw., even if not entirely comparable to his pipe dream of a journey. Trek Trendy is almost always booking business class and so on, so the prices really rack up there, but even in economy you usually pay a lot, and especially in the german high speed rail network you're then bound to a specific train, meaning you have to jump through several hoops to get reimbursed or booked on another train if you miss your actual connection.
That being said, I do like the Eurostar train through the tunnel. It really is faster than an airplane from certain places in Germany since you arrive in the middle of London instead of somewhere in outskirts (depending on your airport), and if you're lucky you can get all fast connection trains.
But the Eurostar terminal is very much like an airport terminal. You have a security check, a passport control, meaning a whole check-in process very similar to a plane.

Tl;dr: Trains are cool and all, but Patirck, as usual, has no idea what the reality looks like.
 
Doesnt china have an internal passport system?
Kind of, yes. It's basically your ID card which is tied to a household registration book called a hukou, it's mostly used to determine provisioning of social services--what schools you're zoned to attend, tax when you buy or sell property, that sort of thing, in practice it's like a family ID. It's also used to determine where you can and can't work. If you're from a regular or good city and 'Han', it's basically just another form of ID. (Han is a complete fiction, China is insanely ethnically and linguistically diverse, but a bunch of fucking hill people and savages either didn't integrate, or in the case of the Hakka, made a bunch of money off piracy and human trafficking and had no need to integrate.) If you're one of the poor or nonintegrable chinanigger minority groups it's used to police you like an illegal immigrant, since specific hukou are demonstrably worse than the others. This is how they cleared major cities of most Xinjiang people, who were all drug dealers or dishwashers basically, since they can't or won't learn Mandarin. You can also tie your ID to a family member's hukou, like if you've got a direct relative who owns a closet in a swanky district of a city you can get to the good schools there.
In order to move from say Shenzen to say Wuhan you have to get official govt approval thats an internal passport system
You don't need anything more than an ID to move internally if you're from actual China and not frontier China. For a mainlander to visit Hong Kong they just need their mainland ID, no passport needed. Presumably some types of hukou are prevented from doing this. Moving and working in other cities is generally not a problem either. Renting agreements are strictly informal and there's no tenant law. There's no need for explicit government permission to go places, it's typically just ID checks which are tied to criminal history, credit history, as well as that of your family, so it's pretty fucking creepy in that respect. If your dad owes a million RMB, you're probably going to have negative consequences from the state as well as the regular negative consequences of that.

it was nice catching up and finding out that the only people fatter and more retarded than him, the sheboons, caused him to dissociate and try to create a whole new notpat persona, with the faggiest gay porno name possible. Fucking Torque Wheeler.
 
It seems to me that rail makes sense when the cities are less spread out than they are in a lot of the US. But let’s test it.

Question for the Europeans. Over the Fourth of July weekend I drove from where I am now to my parents house. The trip was 480 miles—converter says 772 km— each way. Neither the place I started nor the place I finished is a major city; you’ve heard of one of them, but only because it experienced Cultural Enrichment in 2020. No international border was crossed.

Trip took 6.5 hours each way, and about $150 in gas, total. How would that stack up against a roughly equivalent journey on European rail?
Depending on the car you used, mostly, but should be a bit more expensive gas wise. There is no way, the trip would take 6.5 hours tho. Maybe, if you're lucky and there are actual highways straight from one place to the another.

So add let's say a hour to your trip, and 30-40 dollars for gas price. Not counting highway tax, which depends on the country. But if we take lets say 10-15 euro for the 10 day mark, it comes to around 200 dollars ± 10 dollars.

Also, trains in Europe are very interconnected, so even if you dont have a direct connection, you can get to the most big cities in 1 train change, maybe 2 if it isn't that big of a city. Then you can take local train/bus to the smaller villages or whatever.

Pricewise, trains are usually cheaper as equivalent car trips but if you aren't taking German, French, Austrian or some northern countries trains, you'll most likely have some delays.

It really really depends on the country and specifics of the trip, in the nutshell. Much more than Murica imho

Or the bar manager at hooligans following up on his unpaid bar tab.
Has anyone ever pretended to be the bar manager?

First: NOBODY calls it the “Chunnel” except retarded North Americans. It’s the Channel tunnel.
But it’s fun to say *sigh* Shorter too.

I know a greenie who took a train from the midwest to the west coast. Leading up to the trip they were enthusiastic about how much money they were saving and how good it was for the planet, but they got quiet real fast afterward. They had a horrible time. I think they even made the return by plane.
 
Imagine explaining to people on Twitter that yes, Torque Wheeler is your alt and you picked that name out of your free will, but there's people impersonating it.

UK trains are hell on earth. Don't use them if you can help it.
When I went from Prague to Budapest and back, I went on an overnight train that stopped midway to let people sleep through the night and it was better than flying, I think. Definitely less hassle with boarding and the stations were in a much more convenient place than the airport. Slightly cheaper too.
 
Normal people don’t spend 24/7 on Twitter and let negroes break wind in their wives’ vaginas, son. Normal people get higher than a 1.2 GPA, child.

What’s funny is Pat wants so badly to be extraordinary, to be considered a higher life form. But at the end of the day he’s still an aspiring pundit, a failed author, a child-abandoning father, and a drunk on a barstool in fucking Wisconsin. The most normal part of his life is living in the Midwest. But the rest is rather a lot to be ashamed of.
Nothing to be ashamed of child. I was elbow deep in raw niglet meat, stirring in pepperoni spice when the twitter dinged. The blast doors on the space station I call home couldn't contain the scent of blunt smoke and niggers farting into my wife's vagina, nor my euphoria! I'd gone viral!
 
Pricewise, trains are usually cheaper as equivalent car trips
Doesn’t it also depend on how many people are traveling together? For large families especially, train fares quickly add up (even with children’s/student discounts). Hell, my parents only had three kids and we made every trip by car.

(Flexibility and utility are also factors. It’s a cracking good time to drive around the châteaux of France, touring vineyards and being able to drive home with several crates of superb wine for next to nothing. Bonus if you can easily change your day and time of departure on a whim without costly penalties.)
 
Has Pat considered train tickets to London/Paris are so cheap because these places are total shitholes nobody wants to go? You couldn't pay me to ever go back to London; it is literally hell on earth.
Seriously, what the fuck does he do for money? His book sales are nonexistent and he spends every waking hour sperging on twitter. Is it government gibs or are they independently wealthy somehow? I've read the entire thread but no one seems to have any concrete evidence on how Fat and Big Nik actually survive.
My operating theory is Big Nikki pimps him out to old men at key parties. He has the whiny cadence of a prison bitch who has been repeatedly done up the shitter.

Yeah nah, you get shitloads of delays with german trains as well, and interconnectivity also just means you take another half hour or hour of local trains to the nearest larger train station where you can board the high speed rail. That shit adds up fast. And price isn't that great tbh. For a long trip on the german ICE you easily pay over 100€ unless you have a Bahncard which gets you reduced prices (but also costs you a certain amount of money per year), or booked half a year in advance.
I think fat idiots like Pat don't realize that you can't just plonk bullet trains on the existing rails and be done with it. Really fast trains require more care when it comes to their rails, and due to the speed they obviously can't share it with the regular slowpoke trains.
Fun fact, our flagship bullet train, the ICE, is infamous for having a faulty AC in summer, making it absolute torture at times, and services have been cancelled due to that.
The newest iteration of it also has a slightly lower top speed than the last iteration, because they realized it's worthless that the train can go 300 km/h when it can't ever do that anyway, so now it's technically slower, but also more robust.
Another fun fact about these thingies is that cellphone reception is abysmal in them, on the one hand because it goes through network cells too fast at times, and also because the windows have a very thin metallic layer on them for insulation, but it also acts as a Faraday cage. The onboard WiFi is usually broken or so slow it might as well be broken.
Still, the ride is comfy and when there are no delays and the track allows it, they're really quick. It feels weird to see the display showing 280 km/h while the ride is smooth and quiet.
I really wished the Transrapid would have been built and had a wider network by now. 400 km/h maglev goodness, no need for in-country planes anymore.
Or the Inductrack maglev system, whatever happened to that? Why is the future we're living in so fucking bland?
Oh, yeah, right. It's because of fat, boring fucks like Patirck.

Yea, sure, but It's the worst case scenario if you do it alone, so yea, you're right. Personally, I hate any type of mass transport except maybe in the largest of cities where parking is problematic and metro is present.
 
I love that as soon as Rick receives any form of decent engagement he gets empowered and turns into a more insufferable faggot, like that's even possible at this juncture. Further proves Twitter is a hive mind replete with drones who'll like anything because it sounds good, but the reality is he's obviously talking out of his ass. It's all bullshit. Truth is something he is incapable of and his takes probably manifest randomly like an intrusive thought that can only be relieved by seeking the validation of others.

Twitter is a cancer and any form of it should be excised with extreme prejudice.
 
Best part is, Pat can gloat about how this random tweet about trains went viral! but all that means is a ton more people will be inevitably exposed to what a cunt he is (as we're seeing in these screenshots). I'm sure the rascals will be busy informing those he child's about this thread. Maybe some more Pat fans will be born, and the list of aTalkers will grow. Enjoy your viral tweet, FatPrick!

That implies 99% or more of the people who interact with the tweet ever do anything more than hit the like button and forget about it 5 minutes later as that like is buried amongst the dozens of likes they do every day.
 
The meltdown should be epic. Though I suspect it probably won't be the blowout that people think. You'd be shocked at the number of people who read this thread, see Fatrick for exactly who he is and then go to the ballot box and say "you know what, piggy has a point" - proceeding to vote for every D on the ticket.

Will it really even be a blowout? Is it true that most of the seats up for re-election are already held by the opposition anyway?

Patrick using britishisms like "nutter" makes me think about stoving his fat head in.

I predict his Tiny Tim abomination will make you want to scoop your own brain out with a spoon. Sorry fren but I still hope he writes it.
