No one who buys this pulls a trailer big enough to justify the truck. If it was a real work truck it would have either no bed, a flatbed, or a toolbox bed.

Sadly they are not, the people that do it are the worst kind of asshole. They generally like to "roll coal" while passing electric or hybrid cars, covering them with soot. The spend thousands of dollars to be as obnoxious and wasteful as possible, all to spite "the liberals".
I've owned idk how many cars, they've always been a hobby of mine. But the one I miss the most was my 1959 Chevrolet pickup truck. I bought it for next to nothing, it was rusty and beat up, but 100% original. I fixed all the broken and worn stuff on it and slapped a turbocharger on the factory engine and daily drove it for a year or two. Even with the turbo it was dreadfully slow, but it was a riot to drive. It turned a lot of heads and got smiles everywhere I went. Really wish I'd never sold it.
And how do poor families afford to do that? Processed foods are the cheapest and most abundant things to eat here in the US. Eating healthy isn't cheap, fresh foods are not cheap, high quality meats are not cheap. Not to mention when the parents are working sometimes 2 or even 3 jobs to make ends meet, where do they find the time to prepare a healthy home cooked meal?
Lophostemon is right that the food industry pushes the cheap processed stuff because that's where all of their profit is, cheap ingredients can be hidden behind processing, cheap fillers are used in place of more nutritional ingredients, and sugars can be added to get the buyers physically addicted to their products.
But a real solution would have to go a step further than just regulating what kinds of foods producers are allowed to sell. People need to be able to afford to purchase the healthy options, and they need the time required to prepare them. Less working hours and more pay for workers would go further towards ending hunger and obesity in this country than pretty much anything else.
I've been running Graphene on my Pixel 6 pro for about a year now and it's been pretty great. I have had a couple bugs here and there but nothing a quick restart wouldn't fix. I can honestly say I don't really miss any of the google stuff, I've switched to FOSS apps for pretty much everything ,except for what's required for work.
I'm trans, after the first year or so of transition, and I can't wait to take my bra off at the end of the day. The experience really wears thin after a while lol.
Most chinese markets here in the US carry them, I really like the spicy hotpot and the roasted lamb skewer flavors.
I really enjoyed this little tidbit "Pelham paced outside, holding a gun and yelling at police. He eventually went back inside and fired the gun several times. For their own safety, police left the property that night, and let Pelham sleep off his drinking." He shoots at police and they "let him sleep it off", any POC would be dead as a doornail if they so much as thought of the word gun in the presence of cops. But a white male insurrectionist can just sleep it off. This country is truly fucked.
How is is that after all these years, after seeing countless examples of religious lunacy, that I can still be surprised at the petty inanity of the religious. Apparently it's less a well of stupidity, and more like a never ending guyser of idiocy.
If you like punk rock, pretty much the entirety of Bad Religion's music is atheist.
It's nice to see someone else that remembers the old Respawn: Inbox show from Machinima. Sark and APL are the best.
According to the article it wouldn't have been much of a punishment.
"Thousands of bodies have been excavated, almost all flaunting rich bronze ornaments, typically worn by only the wealthiest," Reschreiter said. "The remains bore the marks of hard physical labour from childhood, while also showing signs of unequalled prosperity."
