I have a sneaking suspicion you’re in the wrong post dude

Liberals have been disarming themselves in California for years, not sure what you’re thinking

You’re on to something though, they may actually believe if every person on the road were replaced with a white person that things would be better.

Huh, I’m amazed - I wasn’t exposed to any of that. I’d only seen the memes about it afterwards.

What happened with Snakes on a Plane? I’m only aware of the movie.

As always, trust but verify. I was telling people here for months that Kamala hadn’t won yet and everybody needed to get out and spread the word on Project 2025.

We saw what happened, and we see a lot of opinions here on Lemmy. Trust but verify.

Are you talking about Kei trucks? Are you seriously hinging your entire argument on legislation preventing vehicles that are less than 25 years old from being imported?

Or are you talking about the chicken tax and CAFE standards? Because, guess what, the cheapest price I found for a brand new GMC truck is 47 grand. Cheapest price I’m seeing for a brand new Toyota Tacoma is 31k. Top tier models come out to about 50k.

And even they’re still too big, but none of that matters to you because you need a truck for truckin around doin’ truck stuff!

Edit: shit, I can find a used tacoma from 2005 that would be a better price and size than your average brand new monster truck. Anyone trying to tell me that I’m rejecting reality in a used truck market like this tells me they’ve got skin in the game.

Fuck the reality people like you create.

And I guess none of these employees are women in your perfect world?

I really don’t know, truth be told I don’t really look at any corporation as the individuals that make it up. They’re all a part of the same monster, and that does skew my understanding of certain dynamics.

I don’t really know if I agree with the idea that men are trapped into buying bigger and bigger trucks. Truth be told, all I know is my experience on the road - the guys driving the biggest trucks end up being the most aggressive assholes. Make of that what you will.

Yes, do you know what makes them relevant in their industry? Recognizing they aren’t a monolith and making decisions based off of data that their employees process.

You have seen how incompetent Elon Musk is and you’re still behaving like CEOs actually matter. Beyond the ability to tank his brand, of course.

I don’t have anything else to say.

No, I’m not entertaining this anymore - it is overwhelmingly men at the core of the truck problem in the U.S.

Business person makes business decision, must be because they’re a woman

I’m too tired for this shit

They also sold 884k full size trucks. How does the CEO being a woman change that the vast majority of these purchases are men?

Why should I?

The other people in this thread have already detailed for you how there should be nothing wrong with kids walking to the store. Why would I waste my time when you’re just going to ignore it in the favor of a 76 year old murderer?

Furthermore, how is it that you’ve read what I wrote and think that I agree with a 76 year old being behind the wheel?

God, listening to their voices — they even share similar cadences in their speech. I’ve never heard someone sound more like Donald Trump without a practiced accent. Fucking wild.

A few things: 1) the speed limit is 45, 2) I went to the street on google maps, you could not hope for better visibility, 3) the driver was 76 years old.

No fucking shot you’re sitting here trying to say that, with great visibility and a speed limit of 45, this old fuck isn’t responsible for killing Legend. No, actually please confirm this, I’ve been feeling pent up and going off on a chud would really make me feel better.

Copyright law is messy. Thank you for the elaboration.

Doesn’t quite make sense.

You’re telling me that someone can get popped for mistakenly visiting the dark side of the internet and having whatever-the-fuck horrible shit put on their machine, but owning the content and hosting it on your servers results in nothing?

I respect that, I just try to provide context. It’s often misinterpreted, and I do succumb to emotional responses — but my goal is to make sure those that are justified approach their goals with a clear mind.

I’m not advocating for the rich. I just want people to make the right decisions when it inevitably comes to the point where we need to decide what to do with the rich. I don’t think we should treat GabeN with any more respect than we owe the poorest person, is all.

First step to getting away with shithead behavior is convincing a group, any group (but preferrably one marginalized), that you’re representing them.

Idk, there are tons of good things that have happened from rich people doing stuff. Hell, that’s the reason medicine progressed — if nobles weren’t terrified of dying, who knows how long it would have taken to figure out that bloodletting with leeches doesn’t work?

I don’t think I need to point out all the bad things that have happened because of the rich.
