I can't believe I missed this photo of your "over capacity" truck carrying less than the rated capacity of the cars you insisted were too small and a photo of what looks like loose pine needles.

I’ve literally never had an issue and I’ve never heard of that being an issue

Well fuck me dead, that's a shocking plot twist. The guy who responds to every comment with "spoonfeed me this widely available information" hasn't heard of something.

Do you not look at the road when you’re driving or something?

It's basic geometry, which was apparently too much to ask of you. Maybe we should have started at "object permanence" and established that things continue existing, even when your vision of them is blocked.

Can anyone provide anything that says this is a real concern…? Because people keep saying it, and no one wants to prove it. So strange… should be easy, no? So why can’t anyone do it?

Most people probably just assumed you were aware of this extremely common knowledge and that if you weren't, you were capable of being a big brave boy and typing "pickup truck blind spot" into a search engine by yourself.

But nope, you'd rather accidentally admit that you don't know basic safety information about your own car.

They're not pulled from your ass because they're wrong, they're pulled from your ass because you only decided they were important after your "it's not possible" didn't hold up.

And why would towing and capacity not be part of the conversation…? They are literally the two most important factors when deciding on trucks.

Towing and capacity only matter if you actually use them and the majority of truck owners clearly don't. You can't justify the environmental and social cost of giant trucks by claiming "It can tow 10,000kg" and then never tow anything. An ebike is capable of towing "nothing".

So don't be coy. Show us a picture of your truck towing 10,000kg. Show us your neighbors truck towing 10,000kg. It's why you needed them and why you couldn't possibly drive a smaller car.

Why does everyone deflect from the actual reasons people buy trucks and perpetuate this stupid “bed size is what matters? People who use trucks know this how car people talk about trucks…… because that’s literally not a concern for people who use trucks… you’re literally showing your bias and lack of education lmfao

If you're going to try and insult someone's education, try not to precede it with a paragraph of barely coherent word salad. "People who use trucks know this how car people talk about trucks"?

Provide us with a photo of your truck at capacity.

Let's be honest, the bed size doesn't matter either since the majority of the trucks you see on the road are carrying nothing more than a LARPing driver -- that's why they keep making them smaller and smaller.

But the numbers you pulled out of your ass weren't part of the criteria when you told us all it "wasn't possible".

Also, I absolutely adore the salty little down votes you give anyone who replies to your comment without agreeing with you, even when you demand a reply. It's like something a grumpy toddler would do.

The other way a giant truck can solve your "driving my kids around" problem is via the massive blind spot in front. If you're impressed how much you can fit in the back, wait until you see how many tiny little skulls fit between the road and your line of sight.

I'm not the person you were talking to but I'm happy to spoon feed you an answer since it was so trivially easy to find: Behold, a normal sized car with a large carrying capacity and a good safety rating.

And if people were buying massive trucks for their unmatched safety, that would be a point worth making. Unfortunately, there's thousands of cars on the market that are safer than both those options (for both the occupants and the people around them) and some of them can fit just as much in the back.

There is no justification for these trucks. Not safety, not cost, not the environment, not accessibility and not the amount of stuff they can theoretically carry.

The only excuse is "I'm a massive cunt" and people are absolutely right to not accept it.

Most people who aren't conservative psychopaths actually like their families and want to help them when they can.

You inherently claimed to be a victim by claiming that people were attacking you. You've done an embarrassingly bad job of damage control today.

"Said" is past tense. Yesterday, when you were pretending to be an authority on historic rocks, you said it wouldn't wash off. I didn't see that thread and immediately understood what they meant.

They weren't being even slightly dishonest, but it's clear you are. Would you have admitted you were wrong if you weren't called out by name? My gut feeling is "not a chance".

Because it's made by volunteers, in their free time, who either don't have the time or skill or goal to make it competitive

Didn't stop Blender. Didn't stop Firefox. Didn't stop Linux itself.

If someone is not able or willing to learn their way around something new, that's literally their problem

I've already covered in this comment chain. Krita and Affinity Photo do things differently and nobody complains because they can see actual value in the change. Being "different" isn't the source of GIMPs reputation, being shit is.

Why would it need to be similar? If you want Photoshop, well then use Photoshop.

I moved to Affinity Photo over a year ago, despite it being different. I don't even keep a token pirated version of Photoshop around for compatibility anymore.

Sometimes doing something different might also end up being the better idea. Won't know until you tried.

I tried multiple times and it simply isn't. That's been their most common feedback for 20 years but people like you still refuse to acknowledge that people might have a point.

And yes, good software is good code. That's just a fact.

Yet somehow, no matter how good the code might be, ugly software with shit UX just never seems to gain widespread popularity. Don't worry, I'm sure it's not because "good software" is holistic, it's because the entire world is wrong about GIMP except for you.
