In Europe, there is no good reason to own this. It doesn't fit anywhere. There are other, better options in every single circumstance. Including pickup trucks that are designed for and fit our roads. These trucks are simply too big, they're a menace.

Only Americans ever think these are the right tool for the job. If you guys want to keep your trucks that kill people at an incredibly outsized rate, fire away. But they are a plague that most Europeans rightly want to keep out.

This isn't standard. Nothing about that vehicle is standard.

If it's for lugging tools, get a van. They're safer and better for the job.

If it's for camping, get a van.

These trucks make no sense, other than financially to car companies.

That isn't what that number says. All it tells you is that at least 50% of respondents scored a zero.

FWIW, trans rights are human rights. No disagreement there. But that's not what that number is telling you.

In the 30+ year old words of Bill Hicks:

They believe the bible is the exact word of God - Then they change the bible! Pretty presumptuous, huh? "I think what God meant to say..."

Glad to hear its not universal.

No experience I've had in the corporate world has been as bad as what I saw everywhere in the non-profit world.

Not saying that for-profit companies don't have these problems, not at all, but not to the same extent.

That must be location-dependant. I worked for a non-profit for nearly 5 years, a good sized one. The pay was significantly below the for-profit sector, and the organisation was pretty toxic to boot. I have many friends who did similar, and my assessment is that mine was probably the best experience. Burnout is the norm. Toxic culture is the norm. Underpay is the norm. It's not an experience I'd be excited to repeat.

I started the Irish flag that ended up running to intersect the Enterprise. I would never have had it erase the 1701, and tried to move the flag up!

Still, I did learn about this place on the back of it.... Happy to be aboard!
