lol that fucking Jewish Conservative flair.

It is absolutely something to meditate on, that’s for sure.

Never heard of it but I watched the trailer just now, and wow, those effects really hold up (within the scope of what they were capable of and aiming for). I’d rather watch this tier of action figure effects work than marvel CGI any day.

I think you know what I meant. Most people who need a truck need a truck like mine. Obviously most people don’t need a truck. I only have one because the last few years have required a lot of work on my house and yard. Whenever all that wraps up I’ll swap it back out for another car.

People toss out the “you just need a buddy with a truck” or “you just need to rent one” thing so much but those things require you to bend your life around, say, inconveniencing people to borrow / hoping their schedule accommodates, or, having to go collect, use, pay for, and return during a narrow window of time a rented truck, which, yes, is fine for one day, but if again, you’ve got years of unpredictable needs ahead of you, it’s not a sin to buy a cheap, well-used truck as a second or third vehicle so you’ve always got it when you need it. And in that case, those “most people” need a truck like mine_.

I have a midsize truck from a yester-decade that by now seems like a small truck. Even if it had a long bed and full cab it would be more practical, and I’d argue universally acceptable size and shape than full-sized trucks pulling even a crew cab + short bed combo. When you see a full size with a crew cab and a long or god help us extended bed, it just makes the blood boil. Because as we all know, on top of the “needs two parking spaces and probably takes 4-6 depending on the driver” situation, they have nothing in their beds practically all the time.

Trucks aren’t inherently a problem, and it’s okay if they’re unladen plenty of the time. But most people need a truck like mine; most people have a truck like the full-sized nonsense described above. That’s the problem.

Wasn’t government cross-pollinating with industry a relevant component in 20th century definitions of fascism?
