  • !00% disagree that a single doctor's recommendation should ever be required to be followed, because sometimes doctors are wrong. That is why there are second opinions and ultimately it is the patient's choice even if two doctors agree. People with extremely rare conditions being forced to have a specific treatment that they know isn't working would be abuse.

  • While that is technically possible, I don't believe ChatGPT.

  • I find it jarring to hear canning in glass containers called jarring.

  • You misspelled ethical.

  • Firefox +uBlock Origin = no youtube ads other than the ones that are part of the video itself, which can be skipped. Works for me on PC and android.

  • It was not a hybrid and I know how aerodynamics work.

  • We rented a minivan on a recent trip and got 35+ mpg with a very full load, and it had some decent get up and go. It had a long sloped front end and I would absolutely recommend minivans to anyone who needs more space than a hatchback!

    It wouldn't work for me outside that situation though, which is why I keep saying no to those suggestions.

  • No, for reasons already explained upthread and in various posts.

  • The trailer takes up space when not being used, the back half of the vehicle does not. This is true no matter what the parking situation is. Zero space is better than any space, if the back half of the vehicle doesn't need to be enclosed or have seating.

    The trailer requires some extra maintenance too. Keeping things oiled, tires aired up and replaced regularly. Driving with the trailer means needing to use to parking stalls when parking. Backing up with trailers is a lot of fun too!

    The trailer is a very situational benefit for situations where the main vehicle space is needed. Hell, if I need a trailer I can just rent one from UHaul. But I don't when the same thing is solved with a truck bed, and the truck bed format is far more convenient if the vehicle with the bed is the same size as a normal car!

  • I wouldn't be surprised if it is worded in a way that would make it illegal for janitors who are men to be breaking the law if they enter a woman's bathroom.

  • So someone who wants to buy a two seater car that is extremely convenient in the city because of the short wheelbase and excellent gas mileage should buy a bigger car for extra seats they don't need?

    Why are you so angry about people not needing more than two seats that you insist they need a larger vehicle? Must be a wherever you are thing to think people shouldn't have preferences.

  • You would say that since you keep ignoring everything that I have written.

    Would you tell someone who wants a SmartCar that they should get something with a backseat instead? What about the van with a sealed off cabin that was suggested, which would also have two seats but worse fuel economy in a larger package than what I want which is a car with a truck bed?

    Honestly this keeps going because I am fascinated by how hard you have dug your heels in opposing a car with a truck bed for reasons that I have already explained are not relevant based on my prior ownership of a hatchback. And you will respond to this because you can't just admit maybe you were wrong in your assumptions. Like comically wrong, but it would be a travesty for someone to not fit your idea of an American who uses their lifted truck as a dick substitute.

    Plus I have some time on my hands so will definitely be getting the last word in.

  • We had a used Brat when I was a teenager in the 80s! The seats in the bed had already been taken out and it was a rust bucket, but just fun on a bun until my older brother rolled it in a ditch.

    A modern version with an electric drive train would be fantastic!
