    Everytime one of these cybercuck owners opens their mouth you can just tell how insecure they are are with their masculinity.

    Why are these people trying to flex on…farmers without knowing anything about farmers (and how much their vehicles can carry)? Did they do a publicity stunt where they sourced a bale? Are they farmers who didn’t have a vehicle before the cybertruck to do all the very vehicle dependent farm tasks? Or did purchasing the cybertruck convince them now’s the time to break into farming?

      I wish modern men would finally come to terms with the reality that almost every contentious social issue boils down to them having some kind of sexual insecurity.

      I’m not even kidding.

        You’re so right. I read a thing way back that argued that straight male friendships so often end up feeling weirdly homoerotic because they have been conditioned to see women as less than men, which means that overwhelmingly men seek respect, admiration, validation etc. from other men. "From women they want devotion, service and sex.” [1]

        Edit: This is one of the things I read on this topic, if you’re interested.


        [1]: this quote is from feminist theorist Marilyn Fryre, though I don’t know where specifically; I haven’t actually read any of her work, just a couple of quotes

          This is very much a real effect.

          I play some video games on my downtime, I hop into discord groups of male gamers and it’s like jumping into Penthouse Letters - Oops! All Men Edition.

          The weird way a lot of straight men “joke” about erotic ideas with each other seems to spiral out of control as they hang out with each other, and rapidly leaves the realm of “ironic dirty talk” and becomes full on eroticism and while I’m no prude and don’t feel offense, I sometimes wonder if these guys should just get in a private channel and get it out of their system.

          Because we’re all being trained to be afraid of each other, we have rising phenomenon that indicate a deep human desire for connection that’s being lost. Why is incest porn so popular right now? Not because people commit incest at any higher rate than at any other point in modern history, it’s because a growing swath of the population, mostly men, are so distanced from the idea of intimacy with a female partner that they can only imagine it with someone they have a pre-existing, non-threatening relationship with. Erotica with imagined siblings, anthropomorphic “pets” and of course sexualizing underage or “innocent” characters other ideas of non-relationship sex with “safe” partners are flooding media and it’s absolutely a sign of our current male population not having ANY idea how to grow up and have adult relationships and it’s more sad than anything, and it’s only going to get worse and worse.

    It’s not the fact that it’s electric that makes it a piece of shit.

    EDIT: Also, when you say go charge my battery “and watch”, am I charging my watch or am I watching you while my battery charges? Why does my watch having a battery have to do with anything?

        Also the untreated steel panels that rust, the automatic trunk with no safety sensors that will chop your fingers off, the badly glued-on accelerator pedal that can easily slip off causing the pedal to get stuck… You know, the little things.

        yeah, at best it’s edgy. not in a culturally significant or stylistically way, it’s just geometry. it’s all fucking edges. it looks like the car a 3 year old would draw.

          the delorian had a similar metal look and was unique at the time, and there are still hardly any vehicles that do anything other than boring paint for the exterior. Where’s the cast iron exterior vehicles that need to be seasoned regularly, what about bare aluminum or bismuth? why do all modern cars follow the same stupid aerodynamic shapes with silly crumple zones and overpriced paint. I say yes to unnovation and yes to rejecting the status quo.

      It’s hilarious how many I see that are wrapped - the wrapped ones far outnumber unwrapped. Why did you pay so much for a stainless steel truck just to wrap it? If everyone is wrapping them, why bother with the heavy stainless steel?

      I saw a meme the other day with one that was wrapped to look like an F-150. … just…why? You can buy an electric F-150 if that’s what you want.

        In my opinion, the basic color looks like it’s been built with random scrap metal. (not far from the truth tbf) When it has paint or a wrap on it, at least it looks like some effort or quality was put into it.

    It’s a round bale. They aren’t that heavy a few hundred lbs 🤷‍♂️. I can easily flip them over when they tip on their side . I live on a farm the cows kick them around like soccer balls if I put a whole one in their pen. Typical cro mag weak dick thinking.

    How does he think that it is a flex? Hay is a relatively light material. The real challenge would be a metal container containing a liquid substance a la multiple beer kegs. My dad’s old Nissan Frontier once held multiple loads (heh) of paint and pulled a trailer full of cement packages without a hitch.

    Imagine buying a $100k unibody “truck” and talking about somebody else’s frame breaking. Also, that bale is likely around 900lbs, which you wouldn’t need a very big truck for, regardless.
