What will service look like when West Seattle Link opens but before the downtown tunnel and full ST3?

Will they run service to WS as a shuttle from SODO or a branch of line 1 or a whole new Line 3 from Lynwood to Alaska Junction?

Metra infill station for the 78 instead of Red Line station?

Since the Red Line station at that location probably wouldn't be built due to the huge price tag, why not build a Metra station to at least provide some rail transit access to the massive development? Especially since they will start to use BEMU FLIRTS on that line soon, the stop spacing wouldn't be too short. The station also would be much cheaper than a CTA station since it wouldn't need to be underground.

I miss being depressed..

I was incredibly depressed for like 2 years and decided to travel the world with no plans on coming back. Being dropped off at the airport, I genuinely had no intentions of ever seeing my parents again. I all but cut them off and didn't update really anyone. Now this depression lasted throughout my travels but only by mid-December did I start to feel un-depressed again. Not necessarily happy, but living without the weight of depression on my back. I eventually decided to talk to my parents again and go home to find myself living the same life I used to live but without the depression part of it. Something feels missing tho. I miss feeling depressed. I miss being so unfathomably depressed that the only way to let myself feel anything was through self harm. I miss that feeling and it's almost like I'm manifesting being depressed again. Im not happy and im not sad- I'm nothing. But not the nothing I was when I was depressed; more like a nothing. A true nothing. I want to feel sad again. I want to spend my nights fantasizing how my family would react to my death. Idek.

Why hasn't there been a push to restore the Twin Zephyrs?

These trains used to be the fastest in the world back in the 1950s and could cover the distance between Chicago and St Paul over half an hour quicker than driving. With new faster equipment and minor track upgrades, we could potentially get Chicago to St Paul in under five hours which would be game changing. Right now, the Borealis is one of the strongest routes in the country which shows there's enough demand between these cities- now make it not only faster than driving, but almost competitive to flying and you've got a successful Amtrak route. The views along the Mississippi would be pretty sweet too.

The gates at Wilshire/Western were wide open so I asked the Metro staff there if they were open for free fare weekend and he said that I could just go through. I then try to tap off in NOHO only for the staff there to demand my ID and try to fine me. I just went on back to the train platform cuz ik they too lazy to follow me. But If Metro is going to have tap to exit, they either need to enforce tapping to enter and not just let staff tell people they dont need to tap at some stations or improve communication between stations so officers everywhere will know which stations' fare gates are down.

Has ST ever considered boring a wider tunnel for the new downtown tunnel that will run the 1 line on the upper floor and a new regional rail track on the bottom floor?

It would make the N and S lines more competitive with direct downtown access at King St, Westlake, and Seattle Center as well as alleviate congestion on the existing BNSF tunnel.

Cape Town, Jburg, even Durban seem dense and large enough to warrant some sort of metro system. Has any system ever been designed or planned and if not, why?
