  • So now we’re buying the article of clothing, the branding on said clothing and precision tools to remove the branding from the article of clothing.

    Not throwing shade at you specifically. That’s a clever solution, I just kinda hate that this problem demands even more shit in order to get around.

    I’ve used huge trucks for bush work. Like we’re talking going mudding just to get to work. This line of work basically put me in the position that is the subject of commercials that try to convince suburban dads that they need a huge truck in case one day their family goes on a fictional camping trip to the middle of a swamp.

    Anyways, you know what I learned? These fucking things suck at off-roading.

    • They have shit visibility. You sometimes need to get out of the truck to see around corners, especially if you’re cresting steep hills
    • They have a dangerously high center of gravity (I saw a bunch of coworkers roll theirs) that is only amplified if you carry large loads in their truck beds
    • Over-complicated features like traction control will actually kill your power if you’re doing some technical driving, which will make you get stuck when you don’t need to

    There’s no good reason for these pieces of shit to exist.

    I don’t really think it’s fair to get mad at someone for prioritizing meeting their own needs. It is however entirely fair to be furious about societal structures that place increased financial value on industrialization and privatization over community cohesion.

    Your teeth are bared in the wrong direction. We do in fact have a common enemy here.
