WTF do you expect when you post anonymously about "needing" a gigantic truck with a extended cab and a tiny worthless truck bed because you have a kid in a car seat and don't have the sense to know that if you actually grew up in the country, you'd damn well know you can strap in a car set in on a truck bench.
And here's another judgement, it's a pretty piss poor excuse for trying to justify "needing" once again a huge, wasteful, dumb short bed truck because you have a car seat and have a want to haul a few bags of trash. Ever heard of double bagging? Or a trailer? Or if you did grow up in the country, a burn barrel?
You're right that I don't know everything about you, I only know what you share on a anonymous social media board, and what I have read so far, you sure do sound like one of those suburban transplants wasting good farmland.
I never said "need" once.
Cause THAT'S environmentally friendly.
A bunch of assumptions there.
LMAO, that'd be a helluva fast way to get fined around here. I'm in the "country", but it's not in the middle of nowhere. It's a neighborhood built just a bit out from a small town of 5000 people. It's "country", but kind of isn't at the same time. I have to register with the county each time I want to have a fire in the fire pit. And burning garbage is a fast way to get in crap. And not to mention monumentally stupid.
Pretty sad that you feel you have to put so much effort and so many words to justify why you shouldn't be a suburbanite like you should be.
I mostly agree with the fact that most people who have pickup trucks don't actually need them.
That being said, the only thing sad in this comment section is how much energy you are wasting to gatekeep this one person's 'countryness', just because they posted a random comment.
I think they are just frustrated the poster didnt reply to any of their counterpoints.
