[meme] reason for bike commuting

what are these people expecting everyone's reaction to be when they buy these cartoonish giant clownshoes trucks?

because i see those things and think "oh look, another sensitive douchenozzle"

what kind of work places have communal shower rooms where you can laugh at each other?

Sounds like she failed successfully!

shower rooms at work

Damn, I've spent years commuting by bike and never once had a shower room at work. At one place I had to join the nearby Y and deal with naked, old, fat southern men lounging around on couches in the locker room every morning making jokes about imprisoning black men for life.

Fuck oversized trucks. That lady deserved to have you - and everyone else - laugh in her stupid face.

Upgraded?

Can't believe that workplace abuses their workers like this, making people think she's poor! /s

Some time ago I was standing chatting next to my vehicle in a parking lot. This was in college. About 50-60ft away was one of the lot entrances. Not too steep, though one of those that will catch a lower car if it doesn't come in carefully. Anyway, in comes screaming a Lamborghini. The very expensive sound the bottom of that car made still makes me wish I was recording. Could've turned it into my morning alarm.

I like to think me bursting out laughing still haunts the driver to this day.

Ya know, this is a good argument for all cars to be cartoonishly oversized. That way they can only be used when absolutely needed.

Or of course the car lobby will just push to make all the infrastructure fit around the giant gas guzzlers.

So the world needs more Raptors?

One day I hope to see an economy that doesn’t rely on capitalism, and a ~~reddit ~~ Lemmy thread about trucks that doesn’t immediately turn into “I need it to haul cow shit” vs “anyone with more than 3 seat belts should be publicly executed.”

Sometimes it’s ok to have and use the machine that fits the job. Sometimes it’s vanity. How much more discussion is needed

And then the whole shower room got up and clapped.
