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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

hard agree. i hate how difficult it is to find a truck in the US domestic market that isn't a crew cab. like you gotta do some kind of fleet services voodoo. and then all you end up with is some giant pedestrian killer 5000 anyway.
it's infuriating how they keeping making vehicles that are the "All New Everything to Everyone XLT". every new vehicle is an SUV or Crossover, which are already the same thing anyway, functionally. like an SUV is a truck body mutilated into a bigass 4 seater with giant cargo space, while a cross over is a huge sedan body mutilated into a bigass 4 seater with giant cargo space.
every auto commercial is celebrating how much cubic volume is INSIDE the seating area too, like i give a fuck. and of course it's too gigantic to operate in a parking lot without 4 cameras stitching together a live display of the vehicle's surroundings on the over engineered center console display.
when i was like 19, for a short time i got to use my grandfather's old Dodge Ram 50 pickup that he used to handiman shit around the old people's community he lived in. crank windows, no AC, no power steering (lol, admittedly that was a bit shit when doing a 3 point turn). it was like this
except it had an 88" wheelbase (7 + 1/3 feet). i did not appreciate what i had and didn't fight it when it was sold off to some tradesman. i would murder for a truck like that now. fucking king of the road. sumbitch did everything in one trip.
I spent a summer as a shop hand, and the shop truck was a early 90s 2wd 2 seater tacoma and that thing was so low to the ground stock. It was basically like 1.5 standard steps to step into the bed. So easy to load and unload.
