You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.
And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.
And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.
Basically most people shouldn’t have pickup trucks.
The only reason Americans started buying pick up trucks on mass is because of Tarifs put on Japanese car manufacturers in the 1970s and pick up trucks had no taxes on them suddenly became one of the cheapest and more affordable cars in the United States. Rick Wolf explained this somewhere I can’t remember where exactly.
There were also reduced fuel economy requirements for trucks and off-road vehicles, which contributed to the rise of SUVs.
It was on Volkswagen Transporter pick ups in the 1960s, in response to German taxes on imported US chicken.
Actually, full sized pick ups are not liable to light truck tariffs, but they have no market outside of the US.
Love how the bed of the truck is basically the same size (if not smaller) as well so really you can’t use the excuse of needing the bigger truck for hauling stuff.
Come to India. Seems like your dreamland.
I‘d love to move to India again. I just don’t know how I could get a job there. I don’t have any fancy degrees.
Id love a pickup…but it would be impractical, expensive to buy and run, the back space is basically useless cause even if you do put a cover on, the locks are crap. So I won’t be getting a pick up truck. Plus, where I live, it would go missing.
Its even worse in SEA. Some countries like Nam have these small dick pick-up driving shitheads but what they don’t have is America’s huge roads and streets.

Alphebetizing by the “The” should be a criminal act.
Looking at you, Google Play Library.
This seemingly simple thing enrages me on a daily basis.
How difficult can it fucking be to write some damn code to omit “the” from sorting if it is the first word of a title? JFC
If “the” appears first, then “ignore” must surely be a thing, right??
Fans of The The in absolute shambles.
We should organize libraries not by name, or even the Dewey decimal system, but simply by title length. Fiction, non fiction, jounrla articles, doesn’t matter. It’s all just in one stupid long list, shortest title to longest title.
If I do not have or cannot easily get root access to a computer, I don’t really own it.
Your opinion of Monty Python is bad, and you should feel bad.
The word Data was originally a plural word, and should be again, for all time
Data is plural of datum, which also corresponds to the English word date. When Gregorian calender was introduced in Europe, for decades dates were the only things written in Indian style numerals.
datus/data means “given”, as in the metaphysical sense of the word, since the word started being used for statistics in a period where measurements were considered an objective observation of material reality, which was in fact considered “given” and not interpreted.
Isn’t data uncountable in english?
Except data usually refers to a single set of data, so it is both plural and singular.
A set of multiple things is a plural, friend. A set of dishes, a set of clothes, a set of knives, a set of tools. THESE tools, THESE clothes, THESE knives, THESE data.
“Your opinion of Monty Python is bad, and you should feel bad.”
How? I didn’t even say it was bad just not as good as people say it is. It’s ok but it can only be random for so long. Once you’ve seen one episode you’ve seen them all. Monty Python is no different to those old asdfmovie videos.
Once you’ve seen one [Monty Python] episode you’ve seen them all.
Sir, these are not Big Bang theory episodes.
You’re right. There worst
Dampening is making things wet. Damping is reducing oscillations in something.
Every time I hear or read people using them interchangeably is infuriating.
Thanks for this actually, I didn’t know
Dampening is making things -wet- …
moist, or slightly wet.
The meaning of this word stops short of “drenching/dousing something”.One might even say that dampening is making things damp!
Similarly, something being deprecated & something being depreciated.
In our nightmare world where fame is money, being deprecated IS being depreciated!
12 hour time is an inferior standard, and we should be on 24 hour time so developers don’t ever default to 12 hour time. Way too many instances of mission critical things getting swapped on am/pm by mistake. That is never a problem with 24h time.
There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you’re expecting a child.
Religion needs to be taken out of the government completely
I agree with sentiment, but as stated that’s just eugenics with extra steps. By controlling the cost, availability and/or accessibility of the course, you control who can have children. Also how are you going to enforce this policy, forced abortions?
Better imo to make childrearing a part of the school curriculum with a highly encouraged refresher course later on. That achieves the same end without risking peoples liberties.
Owning a pug is animal cruelty
EDIT: adding bulldogs and other snub-nosed pets that wouldn’t exist without selective breeding by humans.
Even if it’s a rescue? Maybe breeding pugs (without trying to reverse the damage done to them) is pretty shitty, but I could see rescuing one is fine. I mean, what’s the other option, killing them all?
Fair, but it still fuels the market. Somebody rescues one. Somebody else sees it and wants one but can’t find a rescue or doesn’t want a rescue, and goes to a breeder.
I’m pretty sure that if someone wanted a pug, seeing one person who did a rescue wouldn’t be the tipping point.
And there are people who are trying, through breeding, to reverse the damage done to these poor animals.
So yeah, I think there are ethical ways to own a pug.
Dog breeds go through trends just like anybody else. Your fav valuable has a pug? You might want a pug. Maybe not you, but that’s how trends work. The aristocracy tells you what to like. That’s the whole reason they exist in the first place.
And there’s a trend to un fuck up pugs through breeding now, but you think that’s unethical as well because that’s still owning a pug.
I know about retro pugs. I’m only against owning snub-nosed pugs.
Simple. They should only be legal to own if they’re fixed.
That’s a good compromise, but the dogs all have to undergo surgery. The breed needs to go somehow.
- No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
- Static typing sucks.
I’ve never heard the thought about owning a second home before. That’s a fascinating thought. I wonder if that would incentivize the rich to buy/donate homes. Or if there would just be some kind of rich only club loophole
Rather than banning that just tax the shit out of people who have multiple homes
We cAn tax them 1 home for every excess home and donate that home to a homeless person
You could just build housing with the revenue from taxing it
We don’t have a lack of housing. We have a distribution problem. We can’t just build infinitely, we need to redistribute.
What is your problem with static typing
I’m not super fond of dynamic typing either. I like untyped or uni-typed languages like ‘everything is an array’ (APL) or ‘everything is an integer’ (Forth, assembly).
I’m of the same opinion as Chuck Moore who once observed, “Strong typing merely creates errors so that they can be detected.” In my experience, the amount of complexity added by these systems is staggering. To such a degree that they cause more errors than they prevent. More types, more opportunities to use them incorrectly, after all.
I also prefer the ‘build the program while it’s running’ workflow, which is inhibited by static typing.
One time I found a C++ library where everything was of a single type, the “untype” essentially. It removed all type safety, in other words, to allow pure binary access to all data. I mean, there’s an occasion now and then when one needs that sort of thing, but I found in every case it was just a headache. Now I know there’s two people like that, haha.
Well, I don’t agree with you, but I respect a hot take about coding when I see one. My own a-little-less-spicy-than-yours take is that OOP is overated.
Apple products aren’t any better than anything else, it’s just marketing and branding. They’re like the Starbucks of computers.
heh it truly depends on a lot of factors. I don’t want to “cheap out” on a high-end windows laptop, their thermals are shit, the battery life is non-existent, the keyboard is trash, and the computer frame are rarely decent.
A macbook is expensive, yes, but I’ve never experienced having to doubt the hardware, or get weird issues with it. It’s a peace of mind I’m willing to pay a premium for. I even have a mac mini as a server for the extremely low power consumption & extremely good CPU performance (seriously, this thing competes with i9s for a fraction of the power (I’m exclusively interested in single thread applications))
As for iphones & apple watches, I like to tinker with my stuff way too much for them to make sense to me (which my macbook allows me to do as much as I want)
I’m exclusively talking about my experience with apple silicon, idk how it was before the M1 chips came out.
You should use your blinker when turning into a parking space
-Businesses should be run by people who are passionate about the giving a great product and/or service and not some shitty MBA who only except 10x return on his investment.
Summer is a crappy season, fall is superior.
Winter totally trumps other seasons. It’s just so cozy.
I tell people I’m weird because I like winter.
Im camping on your hill.
I like spring because its not exhaustingly warm, and I like being outside in rain anyway.
allergies
Imagine not being able to go outside because of plant cum (pollen), couldn’t be me.
spoiler
/s hay fever and allergies suck.
Fucking trees and their cum eveywhere
The best season is the short window in spring where it’s warm out but the bugs aren’t out yet.
I forgot to mention. If you use country balls to explain something I’m not taking you seriously.
I didn’t think your original points seemed controversial enough to even be hills, but this ONE! This right here… I don’t even have a clue what it is.
You can about geopolitics in a simplified and comedic way but there’s a limit. If I used sock puppets to explain the election to you wouldn’t you would think that I thought you were the stupidest person ever?
It’s like, I’m an adult I can understand the concept of countries not liking each other without the need of simplistic cartoons. This is how you would explain geopolitics to a five-year-old.
I’m American. Speaking about geopolitics at a five-year-old’s level is often far too advanced for many people. Sock puppets might help actually.
- Modern flip phones (e.g. Samsung Fold) are stupid and gimmicky industrial design failures.
- Humans are not good by nature. They are taught to be good but even babies cry and get angry without anyone teaching them.
- The Cat in The Hat movie with Mike Myers was not as bad as critics claim and actually had good undertones patched together with modern humor that is more profound in recent times than when it was originally released. It was actually ahead of its time.
- Apple/MacOS isn’t actually a better platform and is only designed to give the impression that it is simpler even though people still have to learn how to use it.
- Adult services should be legal in all countries and the workers involved should get paid with benefits/protections just like everybody else. This is assuming capitalism cannot be removed from the picture.
- VTubers shouldn’t be showing their actual bodies. It defeats the purpose of using the moniker in the first place.
- Education should be free without any debt involved. There is legitimately no good reason why education and knowledge should be pay-walled.
- Euthanasia should be legal where the person no longer wishes to subject themselves to failing health is granted control over their body. Forcing such people to keep living is selfish and pertains cruel and unusual.
- Hollywood should not be idolized and is actually part of the problem with things being f’d up rn. There is no good reason why actors or any kind of artist should be making all that money while the rest of society gets by with the scraps we toss around while the rich get richer. The same goes for any kind of celebrity, really. I don’t even leave out sports people in this.
This took me twice as long to finish because every other point I ended up with something political. So this is pretty much the least triggering or offensive I can make my list. Good grief.
I’m gonna have to ask what you define as good because I don’t think having emotions is bad, even if you’re a baby
That’s a good point. Let me rephrase then: I believe all humans are selfish by nature and so inherently are more easily prone to acting out even if it affects others negatively (intentionally). As in, there’s probably a reason why the baby is crying sometimes or there’s a reason the baby gets angry. Humans have to be taught to tame their demons because without empathy, everything would be an eye for an eye. By default, I don’t think humans have it in them to see right from wrong unless they’re taught either directly or indirectly. Something something nature and nurture something something. My 2 cents.
I’d say that mortality for humans is a social trait, because it’s something that benefits a small tribe social species. Stealing is “wrong” because it’s bad for small group survival, while “sharing” is good because it helps it. My that measure, humans are also inherently good because they engage in pro social behavior on an instinctual level.
The issue I think comes up with other survival traits that end in antisocial behavior. Tribalism is good for survival against other competing small social groups, but terrible when you’re trying to expand social cohesion.
Do you also think animals are inherently evil because they act in accordance with their own self oriented survival?
