Also, never ever ever call the fucking police to check on your loved one! How many times do they have to kill someone during a wellfare check for people to wake the fuck up? ACAB
One of the greatest moments in my life was when I was a young adult and realized I could just ignore someone at my door and leave them standing there. I didn’t invite your ass to just show up so fuck right off.

I don’t think you’re listening. Small vehicles are not sold in America anymore. When was the last time you saw a new two door car? Americans are buying larger vehicles because that’s the only option. That’s the only option because the fuel economy rules in this country are broken.
This is where I’m at as well. I’ve accepted that the world is fucked and billions will likely die during my lifetime. But there’s nothing I can personally do about it. So I’m just making the best of what life I have.
