Saw this on one of those big redneck trucks (which I feel is an important detail)
Marine or not I'd rip that shit off. Don't fucking feed bread to ducks!
Just try and stop me with my army of waterfowl.
My grain fed ducks can actually fly. Air superiority bitches!
Fuck. Well, I also have mercenary cobra chickens! They aren't loyal, but they're vicious!
There was a John Oliver episode on libraries a while back and there was this one redneck looking man with serious maga vibes. He came out against the book bans. It's a fucking shit show if we go after people's believes (I think, am paraphrasing) he said.
Lesson for me was don't judge a person by their car. Even if it's a truck. They might be decent. Sometimes. Maybe.
I still hate people in trucks that live in the city (talking West Europe) that are raised and clean like in the first day. Fuck those people.
Edit: I think if the city is able to offer some decent public transport then cars shouldn't be allowed at all. Think of the savings on road upkeep, quality of life increase, shops getting a lot of foot traffic and so on.
I think a less extreme version of banning cars is just making driving/parking in the city a big enough pain in the ass to make people have a damn good reason to do so
It for sure is less extreme. Im the case of my city they raised the parking fee for inhabitants (once per year) from 30 to 360€. Didn't change anything. Streets became one way to divert traffic, people go out of their way to still drive there. There are big parking structures outside of the city center. You can easily catch public transport from there. Didn't change anything.
One exception is the soccer games, almost no cars, all trains. That's nice at least.
