BMW’s are all over, at least where I live.

Can’t forget the charger.

Agreed. My argument is not that pickups are also owned and not used to their full potential.

My argument is that pickup trucks are the affordable workhorse of America. You can pickup a cheap second hand truck and beat the shit out of it while getting the job done.

Need to demolish a concrete structure at a customers house and dispose of it cheaply? Have you workers toss the rubble into the bed of your $5000 f150 to dispose of yourself. You wouldn’t want to do the same into a vans cargo space with all your tools.

Most work trucks in America tow a trailer full of tools and other materials that can’t get messed up, that’s why it’s really handy to have a bed attached to the truck for waste or extra tools.

I’m not going to sit here and argue workforce necessities with you.

Your statement was false, that’s it. Pickup trucks are an immutable necessity for the vast majority of workers in America.

Cope harder.

Yeah, the post reads like someone who’s never done any manual labor in their life.

I’m their mind pickup trucks were being used to haul paper and poster board to their office job. Hahahahaha

It’s good as a shop truck sure. But most American CARS have double the payload weight of a kei.

They have a place, but what I was responding to was nonsense. Pickup trucks are a necessity for tons of work. A lot of crews doing different work haul trailers full of their tools and material.

Are you seriously saying a fucking kei truck is more useful than a pickup?

You’ve never done a day of blue collar work and it shows. That chintzy little JDM truck can’t do half of what America’s work force needs.

I know what you’re saying. My '23 Audi a3 has all the things you would want to buttons instead of touch screen only.

I have huge gripes with bad infotainment systems, only reason I bought this new car was because I have no issues with it. I’m coming from old American cars. All the benefits of physical buttons with tactile feedback while being way more fun to drive.

Unraid is great. Don’t let the FOSS heads say otherwise.

I paid $100 3 years ago, ONCE. Best purchase I’ve ever made.

I’ve tried the foss alternatives after getting familiar with unraid, and I still prefer unraid.

This kind of mentality only works if you don’t play games with other people.

Multiplayer only folk usually have a friend group that plays multiple games. If they don’t work in Linux you’re SOL.

Back when I tried to use Linux and never boot Windows a good 2/3rd of games I couldn’t participate in and was left behind. So while it’s better than it was, it’s still not good.

A swiss permit is as strict as a USA background check.

I’m not even kidding.

You get a permit by not having a relevant criminal record and being of age.

USA background check is to see if you have a relevant criminal record and if you are old enough.

Saaaaaame shit in the end.

USA gun laws vary by state. Even those with the strictest of gun laws still have lots of gun violence.

Disarming your population isn’t the answer.

People love to point the fingers at the tool used to do evil things. Instead of addressing why the evil thing is happening.

Banning and restricting guns is a band aid solution that harms the general populace more than it benefits.

Bad actors that want to inflict harm are not concerned with using something legal to get the job done. There will always be inventive whackos out there that will find ways to hurt people. Guns or no guns.

The Swiss have almost the same firearm to people ratio as America ( at least compared to the rest of the world ) and under have far fewer of the same issues. I think this is largely because of cultural differences and availability for healthcare.
