This is a 50+ year old dude who has never been laid, is super insecure about it and just found a way to  himself into being able to say that he's been hosed before so he can stop crying himself to sleep every night.That's my theory, anyway. tek79 fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Oct 22, 2023 |

Cody seems to be the most common name. Seriously, don't name your sons Cody, they don't seem to live past their early 20s.

Man, I loved strolling over to the Canadian side with just my driver's license to drink in a nice restaurant and feel fancy when I was 19-20. And seconding the Cody thing. The only well-adjusted Cody I know, made a conscious and specific choice to break from his family's dynamics. He definitely "comes from circumstances"

Man, I loved strolling over to the Canadian side with just my driver's license to drink in a nice restaurant and feel fancy when I was 19-20. What up!!  Yeah we used to get lots of y'all coming over the river to drink and lots of people I know went over there when they were 21+ because the bars were open later. It was great not needing a fuckin passport to go over just to get dinner or whatever. When I went to college in small town Ontario there was a bunch of people who came from places nowhere near the border that were absolutely amazed that we'd go over the river just to get gas or some poo poo. And one guy from some town on the other end of Lake Superior tried to flex on me and be all like "yeah, we'd just go over to go to the movies". I told him, "yeah big deal, my mom would drag me over there to buy butter".

I saw the memorial decals daily in SoCal lik 98-08. Like 1 in 10 vehicles had one, almost always a truck. I'm in AZ now and only see them like once a month, but I also only leave my rural hellhole that often so  They always kinda bugged me, because I get the idea, but like... I don't want to cry every time I get groceries? I haven't lost any people close enough for me to want to memorialize them, but the vet gave me a "Sorry for your loss" card with my dog's footprint on it. poo poo makes me cry every time I think about it. gently caress, I'm crying NOW

I got a paw print and urn for my cat and I still can't bring myself to put them up almost a year later. I can't even open the goddamn box. I dunno how they do it.

One of my coworkers has his mother's grave as his phones lock screen, I couldn't imagine seeing that as many times a day as someone checks their phone. There's a minivan I've seen one or twice on the highway with a massive upright ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT painted on plywood. It's mounted like a giant windsail on the back of this minivan and I wish I could get a picture of it, it's about 4ft tall. At least they're using their infowarrior powers for good.

“Baby on board” was originally meant to be a cue to rescue personnel, in the case of an accident, that they should look for a child who might not be obvious and can’t get themselves out of the vehicle. At this point it’s just parent pride though, I think.

Based on when and where I saw it, the owner commuted. Wonder if she ever, like, volunteered to drive when groups of coworkers went to grab lunch or whatever.

We had a guy in a much older truck with a similar decal that said "FREEDOM" when I worked at the car wash. Eventually he got a vanity plate that said NOVAXX and got mad because we were openly laughing at his vehicle.

Subjunctive posted:“Baby on board” was originally meant to be a cue to rescue personnel, in the case of an accident, that they should look for a child who might not be obvious and can’t get themselves out of the vehicle. My sister is an ambulance tech, former early childhood teacher, and has been involved in civil defence search and rescue since her late teens- including being deployed in Christchurch after the 2011 earthquake. She had a baby on board decal, and my nephew’s car seat has a card in a pocket on the side with [name], [date of birth] verbal - English and [allergy]. She’s actually a really chill parent and encourages breaking fear boundaries and managed risk in play, but she does take safety very seriously. Balance bike on the bmx track, yes. Messing around on the roads, no.

Something like: I've shouted "big truck, tiiiiiiny penis" at a brodozer-driving dumbass or two when they did something stupid or reckless, but I'm Canadian and I take it for granted a bit that it's extremely unlikely for someone to draw down or brandish a firearm here (matter of fact, the only person who has ever kind of threatened to shoot me was a police officer). Weaponizing the vehicle is a real thing though, just make sure he's not pointing it at you and let fly. It's pretty satisfying.

If only the shaming worked better than the advertising. I don't think even (Joe Biden's  !!) 4 dollar gas stopped people from buying these things.
