Foot pursuit through a minefield
-
When I was working a Lowe's I had loads of princesses rolling through with monster trailers, hauling tons of rock and lumber.
Yep.
My "toy truck" (It's a small truck, with a small engine) now looks like hell, but it's 20 years old and has been used as a truck.
For years it looked great, because I used a trailer for everything, because it's just easier. Bed was used for small hauls of stuff you wouldn't want in a car: paint, bags of mulch/sand/gravel, etc. Or needed a quick pickup and didn't want to go hookup a trailer.
-
Because I fucking hated getting grease all over my hands, pants from accidental brushing, and just everywhere else. The rusty ball still works for more than 20 years, so I took the tradeoff.
Yep.
I used to keep mine greased, got tired of getting dirty from it when it didn't really make any difference.

- The nearest two hitches are pixel-perfect square to the camera.
- The tailpipe on the first truck on the right melts into a smudge.
- There is almost no detail in the concrete even though all the trucks are in sharp focus.
- All shadows have an ethereal quality and the light seems to have an inconsistent directionality.
- The ball on the white truck melts into the white line behind it.
- The green truck behind the white truck has a fender that seems to melt into a wheel.
- The box on the orange truck on the left seems to be about 3' deep.
The shadows show it - exactly. The same from both directions, and weird looking to boot.

There are different hitch ball sizes. I've got one lying around that has 3 ends.
The ones in the back need extensions to the ground to match their ridiculous lift kits, otherwise the trailer would tip ass backwards.
Those vertical offset ones are great, because trucks are different and trailers are different.
I have what people call a "toy truck", the receiver is ridiculously low, and one trailer we have is ridiculously high, so offset ball mount is a requirement.

this is such a stupidly pathetic insult that really just pisses me off to no end when people say it. hell it's not even an insult, it's just stupid and always has been.. might as well just make fun of people for skin colour and gender.
Damn you got triggered lol
If you get this upset by everything you hear and don't like online, you're in for a rough life bud.
-
and...make fun of them. have at it. that's not my issue
don't make fun of people with small dicks because it makes innocent people feel like shit for no reason about something they can't control. hence my comment about might as well start using skin color as an insult, or small tits, or being bald. it's NOT a good way to insult people
wrote last edited by [email protected]...... People make fun of small tits and bald people all the time. You can argue that people shouldn't say mean things all day long, but the reality is you need to not let every little thing set you off or upset you.
I'm more curious on the good way to insult someone haha

just call em what they are, insecure people. no reason to also insult women, or peoples genetics. that's my only gripe tbh. I've never understood why it's acceptable overall to insult someone based on something they can't help.
I get the overall reasoning behind the masculinity and having small dicks but the insult just never sits well with me and causes this global stigma that small dicks are inherently bad which can turn normal people into hating themselves for just being born.
I don't know the best way to insult those people but yeah..just voicing my opinion which obviously gets misunderstood as me defending them.

Knew someone who deliberately left it out because they thought it would help mitigate someone nudging into their backend.
To their credit, it actually worked once, someone got a hitch sized hole in their front bumper for a low speed collision.
On the other hand, this person also kept banging their own shin on their tow hitch... But they thought it was worth it anyway...
I got a hitch sized hole in my bumper because some asshole backed into my parked car and drove off.

Is it illegal to own a sedan there?
They don’t make sedans anymore. They’ve gone the way of the station wagon
-
I've been using "emotional support vehicle" lately.
I call folks who drive them “rural identifying persons”
-
I heard they are ICEs next target /s
please accidentally ban the other ICE

I'm halfway done life. dosoent mean you can't talk about things that you feel society should stop doing.

To this person's credit, they always seemed to take backing up seriously and slowly and kept quite a distance from everyone.. also very carefully parked as straight as possible, and never over any of the lines. Still since they only tow about once a week, it's kind of silly to have that hitch in all the time.
Unlike another colleague who doesn't have a tow hitch, but always pushes his luck and has on occasion given a nudge to a parked car with his pickup, and never parks straight and usually parks over the middle lines...

Imagine trying to get a shopping cart through that. I imagine that's probably a Bass Pro Shops parking lot.
Some evil part of me would be tempted to take some chain and knit those trailer hitches together all down the line.

Definitely don't buy a bunch of those big elastic bands for workouts and loop the cars together in pairs.
As a non-alternative (i.e. don't do this either) the same pairings but with a thin rope with a self-tightening knot.
It will break without any noticeable effort from the car, but will probably make a big bang.

Yeah, but of all the things to take a stand on and put energy into, this? Really?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I think there might be wires crossing in the convo.
I don't think it's right or ok to insult someone based on who are what they are, at all. But I also don't let every negative comment about those things impact me. If someone starts attacking my looks in an argument that means I'm winning and I press harder, I don't get upset about it.
I think the small dick thing, in a sense, is like calling people "gay" when they mean "weird" or whatever. Is it right? Hell no, but I don't let it bother me if someone calls me gay, I pretend I am and I own it. Take away their power from saying that dumb shit.
People are always going to say fucked up shit, trying to stop that will just give you high blood pressure. I think it's better to disarm those things and not let it effect you, then the weight behind those words start to fade.

What's with all the free trailer hitches?

Yep.

LOL, my 2004 F150 is a fucking wreck. Like the Millennium Falcon, looks like dog shit, runs like a top.
But yeah, if I get another truck, everything possible is going on my crappy trailer.

Good man.
I do the same, but with bicycle lights that people have left on. I know how annoying it is to find your battery empty.
Don't do that.
Flashing tail light batteries last for many hours.
Riders often leave them on just so you dont need to remember to turn them on again when you depart.
Even if the battery did go flat, you're not stranded.
I know you mean well but it might not be appreciated as much as you think.
