The punisher would shoot them for that and not look back

So far, I’ve only seen one of those. They’re so stupid looking that if it had been by itself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if it was meant as a joke. They also had one of those “thin blue line” American flag stickers, though, so that cleared it right up.

I thought you were making this up, but no, we’re really exploring new frontiers of cringe

I had to do a search. I’m sorry I did.

That fits with his ideologies far better than the thin blue line skull nonsense.

Well, shit. Didn’t know that thanks

Because I’m surely not the only one going ‘why would I want change, I paid with plastic’: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_quarter

Start asking for bills then. No point in asking for dimes or nickels.

That’s also what US Nazis say.

At this point in my life I couldn’t care less about the flag code. I just like to be discrete. But as people have pointed out, there are meanings that people are already using it for of which I fundamentally disagree with so….

Good thing I never got around to it

Seems like a dogwhistle confederate flag to me.

I mean, if it’s on clothing, it’s not a flag, it’s a flag image. Ergo, the flag code doesn’t really give a fuck.

I think it was actually fairly common after WWI, since it’s about the only facial hair you can really have with a gas mask.

Because if the way I shave, I’m concerned that I’ll have a heart attack just before I finish and I’ll be buried looking like Hitler.

TIL Trumps father wore a Hitler mustache until 1950.

After World War II, toothbrush variants were worn by a small number of notable individuals, e.g. American real-estate developer Fred Trump (who wore a split variant), and former president of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe (covering only the philtrum).

Trump wore a toothbrush mustache from c. 1935 to 1950, about when it fell out if fashion due yo associations with Adolf Hitler

Like the fylefot and any number of runes.

Yup, that’s exactly what I was thinking of from 2018.

Musk: “I’ll build a submarine to save them, then everyone will love me even more!”
Cave Rescue Expert: “That’s not an especially practical solution given the situational needs of this resuce operation.”
Musk: “… er… well… pedo!”

and the hyperloop scam was even more unforgivable, basically robbed california of a high speed rail system, which was blocked by trumps 1st term elain chao. and now its just a half-assed attempt with no progression.

Hood height, engine size, and the physical exterior dimensions of many vans are similar to those of pickup trucks. When used for work, it often just comes down to personal preference. One key difference is towing capacity - most vans are limited to around 750 kg, whereas trucks typically offer much more. Mine can tow up to 3000 kg.

Edit: Also, rear visibility in a van is much worse due to the enclosed cargo area. With a truck, you pretty much have 360-degree visibility.

I’m not American either - I’m from Finland. I’ve been to the Netherlands, and I can’t quite imagine owning a truck there either.

However, your criticism was about clean, scuff-free trucks broadly. If you had said that you judge people for owning a truck when they have no practical need for one, I wouldn’t have any issue with that. But that’s not what you said.

I don’t own one of those gigantic American trucks, but a mid-size one - think Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi L200, Nissan Navara, or Isuzu D-Max. The external dimensions and hood height on those are comparable to similarly sized work vans. So when someone needs a vehicle capable of hauling cargo, it’s basically a choice between a truck and a van - and there’s not much difference between the two in terms of pedestrian safety.

I’d even argue a truck might be safer, because you generally have better all-around visibility. Vans tend to have very limited rear visibility due to the enclosed cargo area. You could argue that a van is more convenient for hauling certain types of cargo, but that’s a separate discussion about practicality - not safety.

He’s still alive, technically it would be stealing from him

Ephesians 2:8-10

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

1 Peter 2:9-10

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

How to recognize a true believer, from Matthew 7:16-20:

16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

I mean, I can only assume that what they are referring to is Bhagavad Gita 9:27:

Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give, whatever austerity you practice, O Arjuna, do it as an offering to Me [Lord Krishna].
