I would say unsurprising, not least surprising.

Other celebrity news that would be less surprising:

"Keanu Reeves acts pleasantly to passerby on street" "Taylor Swift takes private jet to climate change rally" "Trump incoherently rambles for 45 minutes" "Ryan Reynolds makes funny joke"

While I agree that farmers can have specialized vehicles for different tasks, not all do. We farm sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks and do not have specialized equipment. We don't even have a tractor. I also don't disagree that people who don't have a use for trucks don't need them, but I wouldn't go to far as to say they shouldn't have them. While objectively worse for the environment than a vehicle more suitable to their lifestyles, it's a slippery slope (as we've seen) once we start legislating morality.

Bottom line: if we didn't operate a farm business, we wouldn't have a need for or the desire to have a large truck. More likely, any truck at all. We certainly wouldn't have one to park in the driveway of the suburban house we would probably live in. It's just impractical, but not everyone is gifted with innate pragmatism.

Clearly there was some sort of global survey we aren't privy to.

Stating in your argument "there are no arguments to this" highlights up front how close-minded you are to discussion on the subject. It's perfectly acceptable to discuss things you strongly believe in while still allowing yourself to be open-minded about opposing views. In fact, I would say it is required for honest discourse to occur.

In my personal experience, I have one of these vehicles with a comfortable and spacious cab. It allows me to have one vehicle for all the tasks that come with a sheep and pig farm, and also allows us to transport our large family comfortably to and fro. I would like my family to be comfortable while riding in our vehicle, which is equally able to perform various work functions related to farming and transport a family. Why would we purchase and maintain two separate vehicles for these purposes when a single option exists?

You can change this in the settings to make the power button a power button again.

No where. Shockingly, the article has more details than the bot summary or even the headline.

This is so surreal, I thought it was a screenshot from District 9.

To my knowledge, this opts you out of having your data sold for marketing purposes, under whichever nebulous definition they choose for marketing. LN will still have your data and collect it, but they would be unable to sell it for marketing purposes. I am just beginning my journey to opt out of everything I can, especially in light of recent news about automakers selling your driving habits to insurance companies.

I've been radicalized, it seems.

I don't know where she got it, probably ToysRUs back then. I would play it for hours. We only had an NES at home so we were always blown away at the graphics. Now you can find them in used game shops every once in awhile for 200 bucks, at least around here.

Looking for period shows set between 1920 and the 50s. Shows that have a feel similar to LA Confidential, if that makes sense. I've got World on Fire and Perry Mason on my list. I'm not terribly picky about the genre, it's the period and the setting I am interested in. I am hoping to find some gems I have overlooked that aren't Netflix single season cancels. I'm really looking for shoes, but I'll take movie recommendations too if you'd be so kind.

Thanks for your consideration.

Edit: these are great recommendations! Thank you all for your quick and thoughtful responses. I've seen some of these and loved them, so I am sure the rest will be great.
