Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI wish more people saw the world this way.
Every time someone divides an attitudes by generations.
Every time someone divides driving capabilities by make of car.
Every time someone divides work ethic by race.
Every time someone divides action by class.
There are good people and bad people and everything in between and they are not tied to specific demographics.
You can witness a trend, but it does not define anything.
People are just people.

Tesla drivers are shit tho
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I just can’t agree with that. Your choice of car doesn’t make you a dick head. Maybe a lot of dick head buy teslas, but so do none dickheads. I’ve heard the same thing said about audi drivers, and bmw drivers, and mercedes drivers and range rover drivers. There is no neat little box you can put all dick heads in when it comes to what car they drive. There is no venn diagram that would cover this.
So the car you drive doesn’t make you a dick head. Being a dick head makes you a dick head.

If you’ll note the for real statement, the example I provided was much more specific. If you can find me a single soul on this earth with a raised short-bed w/ hid (or equivalent LED since HIDs are old now) who isn’t an asshole I’ll take it back. But I doubt you’ll be able to.
As for the teslas in particular, I’d say it’s more like 60% than 100% who just don’t know how to drive. And our brains are probability engines.

A guy i work with in IT infrastructure lives on a small farm, he has a raised shortbed (assuming that just means a pickup with the back part that has no roof and three short side and tailgate, sorry the terminology is different in the UK so i had to google what it was so could be wrong) he is genuinely one of the nicest pwople i know. He is super helpful with any new staff that joins the team and is very smart. He uses this pickup on his farm, and it serves a meaningful purpose that is not better served by other means.
So there’s at least one.
Im not going to argue that there arent dickheads driving these things. But i will fight you on saying that its all of them.
That kind of blanket statement is not helpful. I hope you take what i am saying and genuinely think about it because you are coming off as very intolerant.
Sorry. I dont want to start an argument. Would much rather keep this at the discussion level, i just find it hard to convey context, tone, and intent in text form
