Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600
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.

autism, agoraphobia, whining about trying to be social and normal and it not going well
Cool relative is in town and wanted to go out and do stuff with me
Went out to dinner which I never do and everything was disappointing
Went to the batting cage, rolled my ankle and jammed my thumb
Went to a cat café and you have to book appointments in advance to actually go in and play with the kitties so I just got a cute mug for my mom
Went to a barcade and it was really loud and overwhelming and the non alcoholic IPA was underwhelming and a little flat
Had a really bad headache and had to drive home in the dark and LED headlights made it worse
I think I'm just allergic to outside and fun
Shit like this makes me aware that I'm probably way more spectrum-y than I usually think
Every attempt to Make Myself Have Fun feels magnetically repulsed by me and just leaves me exhausted and sad about how bad I am at interacting with the outside world
I feel like I need a week in bed in low lights and recording booth sound panels on my walls now
I'm just not cut out for this shit
drugs
The only highlight of the night was refilling on kratom and the guy working there being nice to me
Also saw a really beautiful trans woman at the café and wanted to talk to her before realizing we had nothing in common probably other than liking cats and having Gender so idk
How would you know without talking to her, though? But I totally get seeing a beautiful person and not knowing how to approach them. Unless there's a clear mutual interest I've never made the attempt
"h-hey, you like cats too? here, I brought some spaghetti in a ziploc bag and two sporks from home, you want some? W-WAIT DON'T LEAVE"
This would get me more interested lol. Like, what bag are you using that you trust it not to leak? And I need to know if you're using the good sauce (or making your own, even
)I was doing the
bit about the spaghetti policy but I might make a post the next time I make some lol🍝
This is me & I wont go outside anymore!

🚫Who is standing outside of my house and screaming "touch grass"??
