I have a big stack of old Styrofoam camping coolers, been saving them for a rainy day.

I strongly agree with censoring quotes, largely in general. Unless the person has used such terrible vulgarity that the repetition of it in quoting is useless and can just be replaced by [slur], don’t wash somebody else’s disgusting language for them let their words belong to them.

I feel like in historical context it’s unnecessary to censor the word Negroes, even though it’s no longer acceptable. I actually looked up the article you quoted to make sure Vlady wasn’t dropping hard R’s, since you kind of never know.
However that could be the type of buried white privilege similar to thinking it’d be fun to travel back in time to see history in person is, and am open to correction. Just seems like the term wasn’t being used with hate like the N word absolutely always was and is.

That’s good because I can hardly drive it around how frequently something or other breaks. Hood latch return spring was the culprit this morning.

That. That is fucking sexy! Is it a fuckin cabover!? I bet it gets amazing mileage. Guy I work with has a Mitsubishi flatbed for a spray truck, little 4cyl turbo diesel lugs around 500gal of water no problem.

Dick is tiny, but unrelated to my need for the truck.

Bed is full of mulch and tools, does that count?
- Comment on Even the worst among us sacrifice 5 days ago:
My entire business is turning gasoline into the money I need to live, f350 work truck included. Got really lucky finding a 5.4 in the 1 ton frame, 25 years old, and it’s still an absolute dog on fuel. And now I also have the shame of people thinking the truck is because my dick is little, which I feel any time I don’t have equipment on a trailer. At least I kept the Subaru for groceries?

Wanna go a little farther on that thought for somebody that lives in Maine and campaigns for Graham? Getting really tired of this shit from people who don’t live here. He’s going to the Senate, get over it.
- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 1 week ago:
How difficult would it be to enact legislation to prevent using loans against stock/assets and avoiding income/capital gains tax? Something like “if you have things worth money you need to sell them before taking a frivolous loan.”? Idk I just hate that loophole

- Comment on More lies pushed by big golden retriever 1 month ago:
Golden are BY FAR the most aggressive breed I’ve worked with. Usually food aggression, sometimes possessive aggression, but it’s not ever the breeds fault. Shitty owners see other well behaved Golden’s and think “easy dog” then get one. They are easy dogs, they are just HIGHLY trainable. If you don’t train them and socialize them, they are worse than bully breeds in my experience. A lot heavier too.
- Comment on it's a matter of motivation 1 month ago:
Volunteer firefighters are not unpaid, that not what volunteer means in this context. They are not full time, professional firefighters, they have normal jobs and when a call goes out, whoever can make it drops what they’re doing and goes in. But they absolutely get paid, very well, for their time, from the tax payers dollar. Or by directly suing for restitution as with my car accident. $1700 for a gaggle of looky lous
- Comment on it's a matter of motivation 1 month ago:
Volunteer firefighters are paid pretty damn well while 20 of them stand around a car wreck at 2am.
