I’m thinking of getting a new 4×4 instead of another round of mods. Pretty much only one option these days, the Toyota LandCruiser 7-series. New engine/powertrain, but otherwise as simple as ever. Just a car that won’t let you down if shit fails in the middle of no where…well, apart from the shit that failed, but that’s usually repairable in a couple hours with basic tools and a spare parts or workaround.

The only other way to get that is buying an old car and keeping the money in it to keep it running well and modernised (speakers, nav, lights, etc.)

As you Americans call it, a “truck” should only be about chassis, powertrain, suspension, repairability, and practicality. If you want more than that, you can, but the base shouldn’t have shit all through it already, stuff that has little to do with the whole concept of why you’d have a truck.

Women are just as bad. It’s not a gender thing, though there are the old stereotypes you mentioned

My experience is women are very unclean if they don’t think it will be noticed or on display. Cleaning is more for appearances with little influence from hygiene or being organised. Men seem to do it out of necessity only, it’s not the bare minimum, but the state of something can be left longer, like a pile of clothes not being big enough to deal with yet. But there are those that can’t survive without their mothers.

There’s nothing to indicate that’s true. If anything, the leaps in medical science have increased the likelihood of being born “normal”.

It also means we have identified or created many “issues” and continue to increase how well they’re diagnosed. Everyone’s got multiple things now.

Yep, “classification”.

The proportion will always be the same whether classified or not.

A “leopards at my face” situation.

I honestly feel modern take on ADHD is just a label for people that don’t fit into how society wants it.

Tens of thousands of years, we nurtured those that picked up on the butterfly. Those minds will always be critical to human survival. But it’s only recently, incompatibility with the standard that causes need for more effort, “Well, they must be broken”.

Nope. They never were. We just got real bad at bringing out the best in everyone. At this rate of classification down the path we’re going, it’ll be weird to not have ADHD.

My dog does that but they’re also nice to all people. You gotta be a real bomb of shit to break their peaceful, optimistic, and giving outlook on life.

Some cats though… You can raise as best you can, but chaotic-neutral won’t be influenced.

Gets me every time

Racism is kind of ironic to me. You gotta be pretty basic in free thought to think a person’s superiority is associated with race. So racism, or being a racist, is really letting other people know that your genetic contributions are undesirable compared to more superior examples of humans—such as ones that have progressed from Pleistocene era behavioural and mental traits.

It’s straight up an indicator of significant genetic inferiority.

It’s like Russia telling itself it was liberating Ukraine from Nazism.

LA just wants the state to fuck off already, it’s meant to be America, not the USSR.

I think they are. There’s many just disappearing with nothing from the gov. It’s a human trafficking field day out there. No American is safe and everyone should remain armed and ready to defend themselves in public.

Wet wipes and sanitiser, or stuff like that. Keep yourself feeling clean and fresh. Feeling the griminess of sweat, dirt, and smoke in the heat can really bring you down without realising. Similarly, keep your tent and gear tidy and organised.

They’ll blame this for more ads and enough people will say, “Oh, that makes sense.”

You’re right. Could literally design anything and people that know nothing about any of it could figure it out quickly. But instead, a salad of sex preferences, gender, race, kink, specific US cities, all appearing to be under the Intersex insignia.

It’s always seemed so bad to me that it’s more likely to be done by an anti-woke troll or someone like Michael Scott discovering Pride Month.

It’s just offensive. Obviously to the eyes, but also to any group being shoved together within its borders.

grab item, close pantry, wonder how many times this has happened before, blank out memory once again, go back to cooking

For me, first immediate issue was,

“Now let me settle in with my comfy computer jeans and leather boots.”

I bet that buttoned collar shirt has never seen Cheetos dust either.

It has its ups and downs

Well, he’s at WAR donchaknow

This could be asked of a thousand million other products in the past three years.

But hey, here I am replying to this comment from my AI powered pants zipper, so…

They all sprung up in that period where flags were trendy. Every little camp had to have one to feel like a singled-out tribe—and, no, this isn’t just kink flags. This meant many would be flag designers overnight.

The result is there’s some really fugly designs out there in the wild now and the idiots can’t go back. But most people are over flag phase now, so you’re unlikely to ever see this and most others out in the wild.

Nothing fails more at its job than a pride flag that people have no idea what is. It’s almost irony.

And is this one ugly? Oh, yes. Enough to turn a person straight.
