Motherfucker, 15% of American males don't even have friends, 95% of you don't need an SUV. You think people in other countries don't have jobs and families and cities? Christ, pull your head out of your ass and look out a window once in a while.
I can see why...
Yeah, poor stupid Americans.
I agree that most people don’t need SUVs. And even more don’t need a truck. But few others are forced to drive as much nor as far as Americans on a daily basis, so we don’t give a shit if people in other countries with robust public transport sometimes have to drive places in their (comparatively) small countries with their families.
TIL that a dubious 15% is also === 95%.
Edit: that is to say, this isn’t as simple as “LOL Americans fat, Americans dumb.” The same old Euro arguments don’t work on this one. Civil planning is completely fucked here. It isn’t just bad, it is actively hostile to non-drivers.
And SUVs in particular can get these massive tax advantages that cars don’t get. Same with some models of truck. Plus, marketing is highly effective and nearly totally unregulated like so much else over here.
You have morons giving themselves brain damage for the right to own gas stoves, and we have similar morons suffocating themselves and everyone else by insisting they need huge vehicles. And the government actively encourages it.
Aww. Someone got angry lol.
Don't be so disingenuous as to assume that just because I enjoy cursing that I'm angry, you just make yourself sound like a fucking idiot. Especially when you don't respond to the message with anything of substance, like a belligerent child.
I'm not responding to an insufferable little bitch. Either learn to talk like an adult and, you know, be somewhat respectable, or get use to being treated like a child. Byeeeeee
The stick is so far up your ass it's pushing shit out of your mouth, careful there.
Because I don't want to engage with someone? Do I owe that person a response? Please. If this is such an important discussion to have, please stand in for me.
If self awareness was a disease you'd be the healthiest person alive. How much of a coward do you have to be to run away from mean words? It's a bullshit excuse, you can't attack my message so you try to disingenuously dismiss it without consideration. Pathetic.
Lol, don't get angry because I don't want to engage with you. You're an angry little man that came in hostile. I just don't want to waste my time on someone like you. Sorry bud. Be nicer next time.
No, because now this has become entertaining. You so easily riled up. 😂. Please. Keep going.
I enjoy telling you how much of a moron you are, if you want to keep getting told then I'll keep telling you. You still haven't gotten back on topic after all because youre not competent enough to participate.
Fuck you both. Take this petulant shit back to reddit.
Hilarious comment chain, but does show the need for disabling inbox notifications. Probably went in that long because each wanting to leave the last word after being notified of a response and being caught in a loop for a while.
