I took today off, and I’m just doing hobbies and enjoying myself with my cats sleeping next to me.

It’s a flex these days, the more wealthy people are the more likely they are to leave their blinds open on purpose.

Google it, I’m too lazy to but I read an article on it last week.

You’re forgetting over 20 years of rockets fired indiscriminately into Israel and the decades of border invasions and wars before that.

The history of that region is incredibly hostile and shitty going back before the British drew up the current border divisions. There’s no way you can look at one group and go “yeah these guys are unambiguously good”.

I feel for the Palestinian people, the current situation is beyond horrible or acceptable, but at the same time Hamas are fucking awful and you don’t kill and kidnap thousands of people and not have a fucking plan or idea that there will be retaliation to the fullest degree possible, especially with an aggressive country like Israel. It looks like their entire plan was to create a war and hope the world turns on Israel and bigger powers get pulled in.

Hamas also is a huge source of what’s happening now, they tried to use the rules of war to shield themselves, but like the boy who cried wolf, once you break the system people stop obeying the usual rules.

So here’s my opinion the topic. Hamas are scum and I don’t blame Israel for trying to eliminate them. I don’t agree with Israel’s tactics the last 20 years, and I don’t agree with Gaza’s either. I see no evidence that a non partitioned state would ever work, and as long as it’s a gray area countries that hate Israel will keep funnelling weapons to Hamas or whoever runs Gaza. Unless you can right 1000s of years of wrongs going back to the kingdom of Israel, I think the best you could ever hope for is a bitter quiet.

That is horseahit

I do not like where this thread went…

Oh, sorry

It doesn’t look dirty, just uncared for and like 100 students have moved in and out since the last paint job.

Pull out carpet, sand the hardwood floor and refinish it, sand the walls, fill the holes, and a fresh coat of paint, and that place could probably look pretty nice.

Those are awesome!

On the other hand, what’s this:

Damn prudish fossil record.

I’ve seen a fair few cobbled together with tape, but I can’t say whether that’s because the driver needs the extended mirrors and sucks at driving or the get smashed.

They’re supposed to be for when you have a trailer to decrease your blind spot, but I never see them used with trailers.

It was a joke, my brother had a truck and found that part really annoying in the winter.

But I appreciate the explanation

Omg this thing looks like you could have a lot of fun!

$4.5K CAD for a 1999 truck is higher than I’d expect, but actually quite affordable (hopefully the upkeep isn’t too bad)

I can’t express how much I love this idea

I have this visual of some guy reading the card and making a huge show of ripping it up

I think it’s because the people doing real work know they’re going to fuck this thing up by transporting stones and furniture and tools and lumber and dirt and mulch in the back, so why spend more on a new thing just to fuck it up.

My father in law has a junky truck he loves. He bought it for cheap and he works the hell out of it. I scratched the liner in the bed pretty badly moving patio stones and apologized to him about it, and he laughed and said that’s why he bought it.

Just wait until you see the guys with the extended length mirrors so they can cosplay driving a big rig. They stick out over the lines in Canada.

The guy with the deep voice told me I wanted it, and as he was describing that it has “hemi” I figured that was a good proxy for having a functional dick as I would ever get.
