*cybertruck-like-object

I saw one with a boat in tow the other day and all I could think about was how much I wished someone would try and use it as a submersible and leave us land dwellers alone.

My wife called me two days ago saying "GUESS WHAT'S FUCKING BEHIND ME!". She was nearly home, and told me to run to the front window and look down the street toward the intersecting road. She turned onto our street, and moments later that stupid piece of shit went zooming by on the main road. I couldn't believe it. It was even dumber in person. I was so delighted she helped make that sighting happen, though.

To me, the Cybertruck looks like someone put a fiberglass shell over an El Camino for a bad straight-to-video 1980s Mad Max ripoff.

Like this sort of thing, from the movie appropriately titled Battletruck:

you mean women are not attracted to rich men, really ?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

A woman married me, so apparently not always.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I'm not for one. I'd like someone mature financially, but rich people are all narcissistic.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

It's not supposed to look like that up close reality is just glitching and showing the far away model at every view distance

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

TBH it would be funnier without the image of the Cybertruck. Then the punchline would be a surprise.

I don't know... seems expensive. In my experience, my face is more than enough and I got that for free.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No king your face is not as effective as the truck it has 100% to a face rate is 50% at best

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Really? Maybe the problem was my personality all along...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

No the effect you can self criticism means you r good on that department and i know some ugly mtf with shit personality have more more relationships then they should I think it's confidence my friend

They're shit cars but gatekeeping manhood is even shittier

My manhood isnt affected at all by this. The "truck" is definitely shittier.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Still doesn't mean that it should be gate kept

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

It is not gatekeeping manhood, buying a Cybertruck is a clear sign that the man lacks common sense and has more money than brains, two very important red flags. The only women he will attract are the kind that like men with more money than brains. She is just setting her standards high.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hmm. Normally I'd be inclined to agree, but this really doesn't feel like it's punching at men or manliness. It's more just saying no one will find you attractive if you have a cybertruck. And we all know you can be a man as well as completely unfuckable at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"You will not get laid" is sorta the basic insult directed at men.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only because we associate sexuality and "getting laid" with manhood. They aren't the same. Are asexual men less men? No one's gatekeeping manhood in this image, they're gatekeeping sexuality.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But we do associate it with manhood. Until we move on from that mindset, it is an attack on someone's manhood

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And the way we move on from that is by each of us, individually, deciding that's not an attack on manhood.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Right, but to see the difference takes time. Some people are more hung up on the current view than others.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We are not moving on today apparently, though a few above tried.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well I wouldn't have expected us to make a societal change in a day

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Societal change starts with the individual. If one person today has changed their views, it's a step.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm not doubting that, I'm just saying "we" as a society still associates the ability to get laid with manliness. And that's not changing anytime soon

I saw one in person for the first time yesterday. I didn't think it was possible, but it is even uglier in person. I had to look at the driver to see what kind of person would buy that and to see if he felt shameful.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

We saw one in person last week and couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous it looked.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So what did the driver look like?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

He looked lost and overwhelmed by the discussion that his family in the car was having.

The microplastics is free!

We've had the pocket protector for decades.

Funnily enough, in the military they have those big thick glasses they call BCG which stands for "Birth Control Glasses"
