    if the whole mini-strugglesession (it was pretty bloodless) over sticking lentil beans into the valve stems of these lifted truck monstrosities and not SUV's I'd actually be 100% onboard. (Yes I know the article was talking about Euro-land and yes I know over there SUV's are basically the lifted truck equivalents in your social fascist countries. I'm just late to the party over assuming it's all talking about Burgerica and y'all wanted to run crazy through literally all the neighborhoods, both rich and poor, of the land ruining the lives of probably millions of people and getting mad about it)

    Anyways why the fuck do people drive these things.

      They drive them usually cuz they are small guys that also are pretty homophobic. I have a friend that commented about us looking pretty gay in my wife's Honda fit, he thought people world be saying that and was worried that some one he knew would see us. also says that a bidet is weird. My guess is his the type that doesn't even touch his anus when washing. Cuz that's gay His also a diesel guy.

      They have them cuz they are literally compensating. Diesels suck for off roading. The engine weighs any where from 700-1100lbs more than the standard gas v8 that hd come with, that makes them bouncy afv when offroading. These lifted ones It's all aesthetics. It's all a bunch of homophobic bros in very fancy lad type of trucks. There's no function it's all form. It's too project an image. Stock ones do work. And why are they so big? Cuz a truck that was designed to tow 15-25k pounds and haul 4k lbs is going to be big no matter what. It has to be to handle the weight it was designed to handle. They don't have to be so lifted though. That is purely a design aspect that manufacturers are chasing cuz a chunk of the customer base just wants big truck to look big and manly.

        In fairness: Bidets are kinda weird when you think about it.

        It's like a water gun specifically for your asshole.

        cuz they are small guys that also are pretty homophobic.

        what, tall guys can’t be homophobic? I love how short guys are presented as this conservative class of people that hate women for not fucking them and tall guys are virtuous good leftists. The guy in the image crossing the street is a small guy and not the owner of this car but you all want to label him the enemy either way.

          I do think it's kinda fucked up that it's now bad taste to make fun of almost every physical characteristic except a man for being short.

            never mind the material disadvantages that come with being short such as lower wages and fewer opportunities, we have to also have to attribute homophobia, misogyny, and bigotry to them.

            Especially because, if Reddit is anything to go by, being short is a pretty major insecurity for a trait you have no control over.

      It's an arms race where the larger vehicles have right of way over smaller vehicles so the pressure is to get larger vehicles to not get crushed. Also there's overcompensation and other insecurity issues. :frothingfash:

        Absolutely, I can't see shit over a truck at an intersection when I'm in a sedan. Everyone behind me is going to just have to wait. It isn't my fault this guy pulled all the way out into the crosswalk.

      The short answer: It's compensating for something, they are trying to buy their way into being a cowboy movie villain in hopes of looking like macho tough guys.

      They are literally the coldsteel bio. "Likes: Hurtin' people, Bein' badass..."

      I agree. In the US the focus should be the on deflating these. There's literally plenty of them in my area
