“I was just given the opinions from people that I didn’t ask for who felt they were entitled to force it on me.”

As a straight dude it just made me like bratty women.

For you sir, I will. But I did not think it was necessary.

For sure.

HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Acclimate he says! Buddy, I’ve lived in SC since I was 11. Before that I was born and raised in MA. You will not see me outside during the summer down here. Still, after all these years(I’m 38). And if you do, I am not happy about it.

Nevermind what I said then.

I bet they throw amazing parties. Nice food, drinks that aren’t all bud light and shots, music is a background thing and not something you have to compete with for conversation, maybe a bored game or card game.

Everything.

I fucking hate the summer.

The Highlander theme begins to play

Have to say I agree.

Indeed.

There’s a difference between having enough to eat and having enough healthy food to live well. I’m sure you could survive on like on &100 per person per month if you wanted to eat ramen and canned meat. But throwing in fresh fruits and veggies runs that number up.

Clearly your needles haven’t been prepared properly.

I loled

I was leaning more towards the other bombing a women’s health clinic.

One of them is statistically less likely to hijack a plane.

Ok since some think I’m defending one over the other;

One of them is statistically less likely to hijack a plane, while the other is more likely to firebomb a woman’s health clinic.

Both are as likely to drive a vehicle through a pride parade.

Sorry I know that in text it can seem like I’m responding directly to you but I was more meaning in the broad sense. That I understand that there are situations where you do need a pickup truck or a heavy duty truck, things of that nature.

And I’m not trying to imply that there is no reason to need a truck or no reason to need an SUV. There are jobs that require it, there are things that you can do or be employed by that would require needing extra towing capacity, that would require needing extra abilities to hold heavier weights. Those things do exist. But again I can count on one hand the amount of people I know or have met or am related to now who NEED those things. I’ve actually had to watch as several of my in-laws who worked for companies that they claimed they couldn’t do their job unless they had a lifted jacked up truck which had an extreme extended cab and bed be transferred to electric vans and it did not impact their job. They were still able to get everywhere they needed to go with all of the things that they had in tow and the mover vans worked just fine. And I’ve actually known several people who got fired from those jobs because the electric vans had tattler programs and it told them that they were driving in dangerous manners putting both the company’s assets at risk and risking liability.

I’m an American in the rural South East. I can count on one hand the amount of people I’ve seen, met, or are my in laws who NEED a truck. I do not have enough body parts to count the amount of trucks that are used by compensating good ol’ boys and girls. The amount of shitty drivers in SUVs who have the mindset of “if I’m in an accident I’ll be ok, so I don’t have to worry about driving like there are other people on the road” is down right astounding.
