Oh, not at all. Not at all. Now as a full-fledged TRUCK, and hauling, yeah it's pretty pathetic. But the truck platform that this uses is clean, simple, and fucking brilliant.

A lot of non-truck city people like to cite some damning statistic, something-something-87% of truck owners haven't hauled anything significant in the past year. Correct, and I think most people simply don't have that need. The number of oversized trucks I see, that go from home to cubicle work to WalMart & back home again... 🙄🙄🙄

Full-sized trash cans don't fit in a car very well. But they fit nicely in a truck. This truck can "haul"...all kinds of bulky, awkward shit that doesn't weigh much. I've got a lot of that in my life.

I could use this as a nice, basic farm shuttle vehicle. Chores. Daily driver to & from work. Camping even, obviously light tent camping. Drive-in movie theaters. Parties. "I don't have room in my car for [junk] ." Well, throw it in my truck. Problem solved, yay 🥳

It's electric, so you could even drive it part-time & fully recharge it with the fucking sun.

I adore the standard cab, small, working man's truck. It is not kind of utterly useless, it just doesn't allow you to be the manliest man that ever manned, bro. Lift kit & shoxxx for offroading, bro. Best in class for towing, bro. Extended cab, bro. It runs on endangered species of owls, bro. ...you can keep all that. I'll take this. 🤗

Joke, it's not real

There's a lot more to flesh out, but I agree 100% with this basic principle. I'm looking back & idk other than the occasional spanking when I was very little, most physical discipline was administered by my father. Even if I crossed my mother.

It reinforced traditional gender roles, and frankly I think it subconsciously implies....a solidarity & mutual respect between the partners in a marriage. My father stood up for, and backed, my mother. They parented mostly gently, but also firmly, in lockstep. Were they perfect? Of course not. But generally speaking I think it worked pretty well.

...sure. Then try this one.

"While the city continues to dispute the claims of a gang takeover, Jurinsky has released a series of photos, videos and email exchanges she says prove the problem is worse than city officials have let on."

...and you guys also forgot to mention the border state of New York.

This border state problem is a national problem.

It depends on the media you consume. This is no doubt a blind spot to most liberal media consumers, but conservative media has covered MS-13, sometimes extensively, especially in the months leading up to the 2024 POTUS election. We also heard about TdA, Tren de Aragua, in no small part because of Jose Ibarra, who raped & murdered Laken Riley.

Don't forget the border state of Colorado.

Indeed, happy 4/20, my dude.

There's a lot of tribalism & you're right, the Mos-lems are probably viewing him in the same way & intentionally fucking, having large families to "win" some culture war. But I think cultural wars are ultimately won through the enforcement of...reality...and the victory of good ideas & common sense. Not religion. Just general goodwill & love, idk, I really need to sleep for work tomorrow.

Enjoy your weed. 🍃

...I mean...that just plays into classic masculine, testosterone-fueled traits. Anger, rage, inflicting pain & death. That's what men do. Enough even sign up to inflict pain & death as a job.

Women? Not so much. "Women-without-men", as you put it, will have a different response to the same trauma. Not the exact same responses. Equal, but different.

They might try to kill themselves, but women aren't as successful at killing themselves as men are. Men are by nature ultra-violent, they make sure the job gets done via gun or other over-the-top means. Women tend to want an easier or painless death, try to overdose or cut themselves. It can work, obviously, but with a smaller success rate.

I've been saying it for over 20 years now, you want to start killing a bunch of random people? Great. Start with yourself. I don't encourage mass shooters or any of that nonsense; if you're unhappy, get the help you need or go to the store & buy some rope. Don't go killing people for no reason other than you being unhappy in life, that's just dumb & selfish.

There's enough people on both sides fucking. Every side you can think of, everyone, everywhere, is fucking. World pop tracker keeps running up.

Back when I attended church, I shit you not, the preacher from the pulpit asked the congregation who was having the most kids (the sermon I think was based on kids & families). Then he said "The Mos-lems, the Mos-lems (Muslims) are having the most kids & they have large families." If I remember correctly, I think he was making the point that if Muslims have many many kids & faithful Christians have fewer, eventually, there will be more Muslims than Christians & this was a big problem; Christians need to devote themselves to having more children and "raising them right", or the Muslims will become the majority & "win", and Christianity would dwindle & die out.

And here's the thing, I guess strictly technically speaking he might not be entirely wrong, but that doesn't make it right. If you're just breeding to get butts in pews, idk, feels a little dirty to me.

My main takeaway from that sermon, which I have told multiple friends & now am telling all of you: a war fought with vaginas is a war in which everyone loses. Your opposition is dumb as fuck. You, too, are dumb as fuck. Don't go popping out babies just to pop out more babies, take it from me you're not really all that special, stop it, get some help.

I mean you don't know. While you're getting all new stuff....try a phone wallet app. I only have 1 physical CC in my wallet plus some cash if needed. The tap to pay uses a dummy CC#, it's very secure, so even if stores get hacked your info is safe. A lot of people don't know this...phone wallet app is very very safe.

I have 1 physical CC but have access to all 5 CCs via phone wallet app for tap to pay.

Also recommend a small front pocket wallet. Easier on the back, it's less prone to slipping out/getting stolen, and if you're looking for a brand-specific recommendation I like Trayvax with its 65-yr heirloom warranty. It's a wallet for life. 🙂

Good on you locking the cards via their apps. 👍👍👍

People have been pro-asbestos dating back to Roman times, and even back then it is said they knew it was harmful as well. But used it anyway. 😆

That's true enough, I guess we were formed & forged out of necessity. If you wanted to surf web well, you had to figure all kinds of shit out. If you wanted to pirate, same deal. Watch porn? Better delete that web history, but also make it look believable.

It was baked into our brains at a young, impressionable age. And we absorbed it all.

Now these kids don't seem to know how to do shit. Frustrating. They should be tech savvy.

Nah.

Don't forget miniclip!

Yeah, I miss it in some ways, too. It was more of the Wild West of internet.

I would argue today's internet is fully optimized for control over people (when desired) & profitability. Unless there's some Earth-shattering backlash where idk people kill all ads & they purchase NOTHING online unless they very specifically search for it....this is the internet, perfected. The internet is free, our attention & wallets are the product. Traded, tracked, bought, and sold.

Get your left arm back! Insert 3 backslashes. \

None of it shows up well, super dumb, but seriously 3 will fix it.

¯(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, that was poor wording on my part, probably just because that's the terminology I hear all the time. I should probably amend that.

It's true, due to the nature of the ear being really close to the head, the bullet didn't pierce a hole through his ear. I don't accept the bullet fragment theory, idk, I don't see very-very accurate bullet fragments mid-flight. The bullets themselves can tumble or do crazy patterns, depending on weight & caliber, etc. I think the most logical working theory is the fully intact bullet grazing his ear mid-flight. Ears really can bleed heavily even from small cuts/pimples, at least mine do.

On a semi-related note, you all can watch regular, interesting, and/or terrifying custom rounds traveling in HD slow-mo on this YouTube channel. I believe their slogan is, "You make it....we mach it." 😂😬

While trying to be a smartass, you are unintentionally correct. Fun fact, driver's licenses weren't always required to operate a vehicle. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Smdh.....indeed

We now live in cages, carefully crafted by laws & legislation over time. I am never shocked or surprised when governing powers place laws on commoners, anything to put their boot on our neck, nail down our identity for verification, or most importantly extract money from our bank accounts to give to the state to be wasted.

Smdh.

Or just, you know, death. 😂 No need to throw a "-cide" of any kind, enough of the time. I had a 50 y/o coworker die from cancer. Sad. Too soon. But he was worried about retirement...now he doesn't have to. ¯°_o)/¯

There's a lot or fishy things about that day. SS was...incredibly incompetent....but the photo op thing wasn't their idea, at least it appeared that Trump was arguing with them to stand up & break free. SS surrounding him didn't seem to approve of photo op.

Then there's the shots that rang out, and the casings on the roof. SS cleaned up the shooter's corpse, the scene very quickly & they would not answer how many casings were found on the roof. There were 8 shots, IIRC? Then in follow-ups, they were pressed "how many casings were found on the roof?" And they never fucking answered. You can watch them continuously deflect. They must know, they have the answer, they don't want to say. Answer the goddamn fucking question.

Very. Fishy. Indeed.
