In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid's heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.
I drive one of these trucks and occasionally a ‘fuckcars’ post pops up in my feed like this one. Here’s my F-350 with standard size girlfriend for scale. Ask me anything.
I can't imagine how much work you must get done with your absolutely pristine heavy duty work vehicle.
Ha. Was there a question in there somewhere?
I always find it helps to engage with people and understand their situation before being a judgmental asshat. You might find it difficult to sway people to your point of view with that attitude.
To be honest, I was just trying to roast. Not trying to sway your point of view or anything. I don't hate you for your vehicle choice or anything, either. I just don't quite understand choosing that kind of vehicle, myself, and I think they shouldn't exist for the consumer market, except maybe for the occasional business that would actually benefit from owning one over other types of vehicles.
I respect your bravery and openness to post this, FWIW.
