It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

You should have to prove you have commercial uses before you can buy a truck like that. Average Joe shit heads that just want a big truck to keep their ego propped up should be told to get therapy and a sedan.
Under communism car dealerships will mostly be converted to mental health care facilities to assist with the transition of car-guys and truck-chuds out of their illness.
We can harness the power of the car guys. They can be converted into war on cars people if you make them realize they also hate traffic. The deal is: you get to drive your hobby or project vehicle or whatever, on mostly empty roads (albeit a slimmer network), you just have to do useful shit.
Imagine a car guy getting an open road, their own hobby vehicle and the instruction to take this kidney to the nearest hospital.
EDIT: The truck chuds all get converted into #carryshitolympics people
There's no better way to tell people you don't actually do physical labor than a 4' bed.
A minivan with the back row of seats removed is a superior work vehicle to this thing in every imagineble way.
Or a station wagon… both alternatives you don’t have to lift as high to get stuff in the back either.
You're talking to a guy with a kiddie pool full of sand in the back of his Subaru outback to sand icy driveways.
Plus whatever your carrying isn't exposed to the elements so the sand isn't frozen solid when you need it.
I hold true that the utilitarian car has been perfected with the Volvo 940 and all subsequent R&D should've flown into either making it more efficient (you do not get to change a single shape even the tiniest fucking bit) or develop EV engine swap kits that could be installed by a 10 year old with a lift
Seriously!!!! My partner has a forester that they have filled with field equipment for their job. I have a VW Golf that I have hauled Christmas trees on top of. We will both empty out trunks and put our seats down so we can lug our trash to the dump or bags of mulch back from the nursery.
I don’t need a 4ft bed and 8 inch lift to do normal labor with my vehicles.
:this: :this: :this:
If you have a crew cab truck with a short bed you have just ruined much of the purpose of having a truck!
I use an '89 Nissan as my work vehicle. Many of my coworkers who use modern pickups take twice as long to load the bed lol
